How long to get a GC AOS Interview scheduled after AP/EAD approved [merged threads]

[vkbruh1114 56]

We submitted our documents, but we received an RFIE for my wife's tax document, we have submitted that ASAP. does this re-start the clock for the EAD?

I have received a job offer, but they only want to hire if I have my GC EAD to join on Jan 16th 2017, with the help of lawyer, we submitted the job offer letter along with the RFE. do USCIS expedite it incase of a job offer?

 

Input from people who faced this situation will be helpful.

Make an infopass appointment and bring your job offer and all paperwork for your AoS. I have seen cases where this has expedited receipt of the EAD card.

Hi,

According to the website it will start over from the moment they received your response.
" The clock will also stop if USCIS issues a request for initial evidence pertaining to the principal application/petition that serves as the basis for your application for employment authorization."

However, for some it was just a small delay or nothing happened. It's a wild card with this one, honestly. Expedite on a job offer if you have a job letter stating when they want to hire you.

Thanks so much, are you in kind of the same boat as me, your timeline as well gives me a good idea for RFE cases.

[Dutchster 1,106]

Correct. I received one for a missing tax return, I send the response back the next day after the RFIE came in the mail. It's such a grey area when it comes to when they will review your response, no one can really tell. You could expedite your EAD based on your job offer. If you call the USCIS, put in an expedite for severe financial loss, when they ask for evidence, send them all the supporting documents of your job offer. If pleased, you could also afterwards get in contact with your local congressman, telling them you have a job offer ready and an open expedite and if they could look into it.

Same here, we got for the Tax return, thanks so much for your help man. Hoping for the best.

it varies greatly depending on how busy your field office is. You can check here for averages: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aosstats.php
