Thank you! It is surprising! I just got a letter saying that my case will be delayed due to overload of work in my area like last week. I was hopeless until now. So everything can happen, I guess.

well it is obvious that it got delayed for at least one month more... I will walk in tomorrow earliest in the morning to redo my biometrics..

I am glad that I was able to find out through e-request. If I didn't do the e-request, I don't know how long it would have been taken for them to just find out there was an error with my bio..thank you tho

No one is writing here anymore? lol

I visited immigration support center today to redo my fingerprint (since i got a letter that my fingerprint didn't go through correctly....) and they said they are completely overbooked due to holiday yesterday. The officer advised to return this Friday. My appointment was given Thurs 10/20 but I will walk in once again this Friday and see what happens... sigh anyone here who is redoing the fingerprint? Maybe God is telling me to pray..

Congrats.

We are on day 82 now. We have a RFIE so it may set it back sometime. :(

We bought tickets to fly home on Dec 11 so hopefully we will get EAD/AP by then.

2 more to go and I'm getting restless seeing most people here already got their EAD.
