Update: I decided to go in this afternoon to try our luck today for my wife/daughter's walk-in Biometrics and it was a success. No questions asked so we're good to go in that area.

Now we'll wait for good news on the EAD/AP combo card in late June/early July God willing. :)

Good to hear that. :) Yes, Lord willing, one more month for the EAD/AP combo card.

Hello All :)

Any EAD approvals yet April 2015 AOS Filers?

It is good to be back here again :)

Welcome back! How's the wedding? :)

I've seen lots of March 2015 AOS filers getting EAD approvals.

Fingers crossed, we all get it before May ends.

Yes I agree. I do not see the point in waiting. We already waited for K1. But this is a lot tolerable as we get to wait with our loved one.

I just wish we all get smooth approvals, and no RFE's.
