February 2016 AOS Filers

[B and E 19]

Since the EAD doesn't have a petitioner (only the I485 does), they are correct in asking for permission from your husband. Not sure about the military stuff.

That makes sense. I didn't think about there not being a petitioner for the for the EAD. I just thought about it as one big application.

[B and E 19]

I was asked this too and my husband is in the navy. They actually process service requests faster for military members and their families.

Sometimes it takes a little longer but usually i get a reply within 48 hours of filing the service request.

That's great! I was kinda confused when they asked. Hopefully, it will make things a little bit faster for us. Fingers crossed!!!

So I basically freaked out and intercepted my package. I saw people say they got denied when they didn't send a new medical. The officer I spoke to the first time put in a service request for me to say I shouldn't have got that letter because my medical is not expired but at this point I don't want to risk denial. I'm at the medical office waiting for a new medical it really sucks. At least they dropped the price since my vaccines are less than 6 months old.

I would have understood if I had a letter saying they don't have it (because they lost it) but they said mine was expired. It's incredibly infuriating. My exam was less than 6 months ago!

Another frustrating thing is that this rfe does not show up on my case tracking. It feels like it doesn't exist in their system. It also means I won't see if they receive my new expensive medical. I'm so anxiety ridden from this entire process. I pray that this medical is the last thing they need from me.

Thanks for checking in though

Oh man, It's a shame you had to spend more money on an unnecessary medical. I really hope this is the last annoying news you hear about your case and everything is smooth and fast from this point on. Best of luck!! Keep us posted.

So, I am going to call and try to raise some hell. Just want to make sure, if the 75 days from the notice date on your receipt (March 4th) or the date they said the petition had been received?

Processing times on the USCIS website say they are working on January 11 for the EAD, January 2 for the AP. VIsa Journey say they are procession March 11/12...

Ok, it won't let me Edit.

I just got off the phone with a Tier 2 Agent ( He was very nice and helpful! Even him doesn't get WHY I had 2 biometrics!! )

1) Processing time normally start when they receive the petition, so I am sitting on day 81.

2) I should normally get something this week. If not Call back next week and they'll check what is going on.

3) My 2nd Biometrics should not slow my I/485 processing. We will see

OH, don't try calling if you feel under the weather. I sounded absolutely retarted and my mouth was not coordinated with my brain and I kept blurting stuff out. The agent was nice enough, thank God haha.

Did you see this? It's just on the vj home page http://www.visajourney.com/news/2014/10/06/uscis-biometric-appointment-notices-issued-in-error/

It's from October 6th 2014 but saw it and thought of you.

Thanks for the kind words B and E! Hope you get your EAD soon.

It really is annoying, but at least you'll be less stressed out about what you sent to them.

The USCIS case status website has not been updated in a while. My interview notice says May 6th, but the website still says RFE response received (April 20th). I guess they are super backlogged right now and can't keep up with the updates.

Good point iPod, thanks . That actually makes me feel better. So excited for you for your interview! Let us know how it goes!

!

It could have been it, but as both my biometrics were different code, 1st one said it was for I-765 and 2nd was I-485. We think there was some sort of delay when they received the petitions, which caused my I-485 to be sent later. My biometrics fees were received on 04/01/16.

Oh well. I'm just happy everyone is getting their approvals.

Finally got the notice of approval for the AP and card being produced for the EAD - so ecstatic to begin making travel plans to see family we've been waiting on this for so long.

Now onto the next worry: if we are out of town and the mail notice for interview arrives how long before the notice is mailed and the actual interview to take place. Is it usually scheduled atleast a month out? Sooner is better of course but worried it would come and be scheduled next week and we would be out of town.

Has anyone gotten their interview notice in the updates online ? and how far out from notice were you scheduled ?
