Well, we have recieved the travel documents and EAD, but we have not heard ANYTHING about the green card. No interview date, no transfer, no nothing...should we be worried?

If you are anything like me, you will worry yourself sick, even though I hear that hearing nothing so far about the GC is ' normal ' because we are still in range. But take my advise and please don't worry. I will worry FOR you, as I am a professional worrier. BTW...hope you hear something right soon!

Congratulations, V.Taylor!! :dance:

No you shouldn't worry. GC is the longest wait. Personnaly, I don't expect anything before April. From what I see on other people timelines the interview is about 8 months after filing AOS. And apprently people who received interview letters don't have any touches on their portofolio...

Ok. I just called USCIS because today is my day 90.

Last time I called I had a charming man on the phone, but this time I had a girl who was speaking sooooo fast, I couldn't understand a word ( plus my cell connexion sucked). And whenever I asked her to repeat, she would just repeat the same sentence even faster...So I guess she put a service request, i also heard the word interim EAD, and she gave me a confirmation number. For those who already been through this. What is this number for?

I also heard 45days. Am I suppose to do something in 45days if I don't hear from them? Are they going to give me an interim EAD? why not the normal one?

Pfff...I wished I had someone else on the phone...

N&D,

Im going to pray for you two. It worked when AHZ did not get their EAD, then I said a very sincere prayer ( along with, " 0k God, don't let me look bad now " ) , and in a few days AHZ got their EAD so it just has to work for you, too.

Getting someone else on the phone wouldn't change anything. She did the standard procedure of putting in a service request and yes, you can call them if you don't hear anything from then in 45days. I know i know, it's bullshit after waiting 90 days you have to wait another 45 days. So all you can do is wait or go to an info pass appointment as some people have done with success on here and also email Ombudsman which I have done and still no updates. Tomorrow will be one week after contacting ombudsman and they say if we don't here anything within a week to contact their office so I am just going crazy waiting. We really need me to work because it is really tough with one income. Hope this helps

I know that to get another person wouldn't change anything about the process, but at least maybe I would have understand this other person! lol

Sorry, I didn't express my questions very well. What I don't understand is what she did. Is a service request is a request to have an interim EAD or to boost the normal EAD?

She said something about infopass, that I could have one but they don't give EAD. What is an infopass for? What are they going to do if I go to my local office?

I'm sorry that you didn't hear anything from the ombudsman yet! Why is everyone so slow?! ...probably the holidays, huh?!

I hope you'll hear good things tomorrow when you'll call!!

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that lucie&damon, if it makes you feel any better my 'New Zealand English' and their 'American English' can't even get along at times, my accent gets them annoyed with me all the time! But don't worry, the number is just for your reference, it's the proof that they put the request in. I'm sure you will hear something long before 45 days are up but if it feels like too long (maybe a week at most ) get that info pass appointment or email the Ombudsman as Time suggests.

Time:

I really hope you hear something soon, it does seem that they are at least a little more interested in us though. Contact them tomorrow if you haven't heard anything and let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Nao:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

And I have a little question. I'm not sure what those of you who have had interview appointments have received, is it just something in the post or did you get an email along with it? Sorry if this has already been answered, I couldn't remember and as we're going back to NZ soon, I just want to make sure that if something comes I wont miss out on it (hopeful thinking maybe ). Thanks guys.

Hi agian,

I was told that it did both. It put in a request to speed things up but at the same time sent a request for interim. I don't know what other people have experienced but I got my EAD about 2 or 3 weeks after they made that request (I did contact the Ombdman too in that time though). I hope this happens for you too, even sooner!

Hi all,

Got my interview letter in the mail today!

My receipt states that my interview will be on Monday March 2nd (Downtown Chicago)

Some other trivia/interesting stuff:

- The letter was mailed from Missouri (MSC)

- The letter states that the priority date for my application is September 28th

- The envelope is postmarked December 30th, however the online system does not show any updates..

Cheers!

I only got the letter in the mail. No email, no update on USCIS website. There was almost two weeks between the date on the letter and the date I actually received it.

Hi folks,

So I'm doing my biometrics tomorrow morning (finally) but the appointment letter that I received is only for the I-485. Can I do the biometrics for the EAD as well on the same appointment?

In our group I know of one person (aomary) who got the EAD without the biometrics so I guess it's not required?

Also, I was able to get an infopass appointment tomorrow morning as well to bring up the issue of my EAD as it's been 90 days since I applied. Wish me luck.

Nao: congrats on getting your EAD. After my appointments tomorrow, I will email the ombudsman, as well.
