Hey, great tip! just did it and they finally tranfered me to the tier 2, they will give me a call back in 69 minutes aka 3 hours hahah

Thanks a lot!

This is what I do... I tell them I need an update on my background check and cause they can't check it they always transfer me to tier 2.. Tier 2 will tell you if your cleared or not... Background check do not delay the progress of your I-485 but will put your EAD at a stand still

Glad it worked for someone else... Even if you already know the status of your background check I would still use that excuse anyway cause they can't see the information so they have no choice but to transfer you to a tier 2 and they don't relay the reason why your want to talk to a tier 2 officer when you're transfered Edited June 29, 2016 by Moslund

So update:

Tier 2 just called me back (9 pm), he said they have offices in the West coast and East coast so you can get a call back late night.

I asked about my EAD and he said that unfortunately they were delayed and EADs were taking anywhere from 90 to 120 days to get approved.

He offered to put a service request on my case, but then noticed that I had done it online already (on June 24th). He mentioned that I should get an answer on my service request by July 9th (day 95). If I don't hear anything by July 9th or if I don't feel that their answer was satisfactory I can call back and put an expedite request on my case. But I must provide evidences on why my case should be expedite...

Anyways, we are back at the waiting game... he finish saying that I needed a bottle of wine to relax (I guess my anxiety is showing).

Good luck everyone.

quick question. Does everyone who got a RFIE for the AOS got their EAD delayed too? Or is there someone who still got the EAD/AP card within the 90 days even with a RFIE on the other case?

I am not sure about your timeline, but I do have an RFE that came around day 55-57 days. I spoke to Tier-2 officer on day 78, just asked the status of my case and the next day status changed to Case was approved. Once you get over day 75 just give them a call, I think it just helps your file come up in the stack.

thanks. seems from all I read here that I should be able to call at the 75 day mark to make sure it stays on track!

Received another notification from USCIS today that my EAD has been mailed. Three business days after they approved my application, which is pretty fast I think. I was worried that it's going to take a while.

If you are still waiting for updates, hang in there and good luck!

Checked USCIS online case status today and our I-485 receipt number finally worked, interview scheduled for 8/4/16

The other receipts still don't work...(I-130, I-765)

maybe it's a coincidence but I encourage calling at the 75 day mark for SR.

Got RFE on my EAD. I don't know what it is yet. Have to wait for the letter

I called uscis minutes ago and when I asked the guy to give me info about the background check, he said he has no idea what I am talking about and when I asked him if I could be transferred to somebody with more information he said nobody will tell me anything about background check because they can not get the information. Told me to wait 30 days from the service request and ,,sent me to hell"... Officially done talking to them...

That is a complete and utter lie on there part!!! They can't check background check but teir 2 can... Even when you call the FBI the answer service states if you need an update on your background check to call Uscis for status updates on your finger print and name check... And the 3 times I've called regarding my background check which is STILL pending btw teir 2 was able to tell me when they recieved it and what status it was in... Each time they were able to confirm the date the FBI recieved my info and each time stated I was still waiting to be cleared... I hate when you call them and they don't know what there talking about and refuse to transfer you!!! Edited June 30, 2016 by Moslund

I know they lie...I have no energy to deal with them and beg them to transfer me or give me some information...Thank you for your help tho.

I figured your case is moving extremely quick. When is you interview? How did you get expedite on your EAD?

Received another notification from USCIS today that my EAD has been mailed. Three business days after they approved my application, which is pretty fast I think. I was worried that it's going to take a while.

If you are still waiting for updates, hang in there and good luck!

To those who have received EAD /AP: is the card left in the mailbox?

Or does it require someone to be in the house to receive and sign for?

My status changed to "card was mailed" a few days ago, and I'm worried because we're not home.

It goes to your mail box like regular mail.
