Hi All..it's been a while and missed everyone.

ANYWAYS, here's the deal:

- We sent out the entire AOS packet (including the I-765) mid September.

- About 4 weeks ago we received a letter from DHS saying our application has been received and biometrics are to be done on Oct 4.

- On Oct 4 we went and had the biometrics done... no problem.

- This week we received a letter saying our "case" has been forwarded to the California Service Center for "expediting" Mind you, I live in Jersey and Vermont is my service center (I had great success with the VSC in getting a super fast K1 processed)

- The question is... where is the EAD? My wife is going crazy sitting at home with nothing to do but look up jobs on monster.com that she can't apply to yet.

I thought the EAD was supposed to come in about 1 month after sending in the AOS app.

Any thoughts?

Your EAD is at MSC for processing and your AOS has been transfered to CSC which means a faster approval without an interview ...

Actually the EAD can take up to 90 days to be approved ... I think VJ estimates is around 80 days right now ...

For us it was about 3 months. Did have an RFE however which probably added a few weeks.

Any thoughts?

Btw, Vermont was only your service center for the I-129F ... And of course you would say Vermont was good for you ... You were approved in a measly 13 days ...

Once you applied for AOS then you would normally go through your local office which wouldn't have been Vermont ... Your AOS being transfered to CSC is about the best thing that could have happened to you ... It is kinda like how lucky you were to go through Vermont for your I-129F instead of California ...

Still waiting since Mid July for our EAD... can't even see it online yet.

Waiting for our AP, can't see that online yet.

Didn't get transfered to CSC either.. (sigh)

You'll most likely have the green card from CSC before you have the EAD from MSC.

If you have been transfered to CSC then you will get approved without interview..... so the money you spent to get an EAD is wasted because once you are approved you dont need EAD infact they will stop the processing of it if you get approved for AOS...

Hope you get your Greencard soon....

It is not always a waste of money but probably 95% of the time it is ...

There has been some people who recieved their EAD before getting their AOS approved by CSC ... Although they seem to process these rather quickly and almost always the GC is approved by CSC before MSC even starts looking at your EAD, but there still seems to be some cases that are left behind ... Possibly these people are being delayed by FBI name checks or something ...

We were approved yesterday (big hooray!) -- Once you were approved, how long did it take for your card to arrive in the mail?
