Congrats on the approval!

How did you find out your i-485 interview was cancelled?  Did you already have a date?

What exactly is going to arrive in the mail?  the work visa?

Thanks in advance for the info!

I have no any idea it was scheduled, only the tier 2 IO mentioned it during my EAD follow up call. I haven't received any interview schedule mail so its just odd. In any case, just happy with the ead approval. GC can come later  

And yes the next mail we gonna receive is the ead/ap card.

Congrats to your approved ead btw!

It's ok to ask questions in other thread, but indeed your updates as far as your process are more pertinent in the October thread. 

As @mustang85635also mentioned, being an early October filer, it is pretty normal that you haven't heard or received anything yet. August filers are still waiting and a few September filers have started to receive something. My pd date is September 15 and I still haven't received anything...and I'm not freaking out, being impatient yes, but unfortunately it seems USCIS is taking longer. I have been dealing with them for the past year and it seems that is the norm. 

I will still make the actions I am allowed to at this point, but before it has been 120 days like some other August person, there is no point in freaking out unfortunately...being upset and annoyed yes... but nothing much  we can do about it, so we have to try to keep our cool and stay positive! 

At the end of the day, just like the K1 process was a pain, this one is, but at least we are with our other half. It could be worse, we could still be apart.

Good luck to all my fellow filers whichever month you are at and hoping that we all get something in a more timely manner.

I have raised 2 SR on my EAD, my NOA date was Aug 25th but got RFIE once so there seems like a delay. So I practically follow this September thread.

 

Called tier 2 today (the guy was actually a supervisor) who is very knowledgable told raising multiple SR could potentially slow down process. SR will be signed to officer within certain days (I believe it's 7) then they have to respond to you within 48 hours. So just call back to get update on SR you have already sent.

 

He has also said 90 days is no longer practical, now it's 120 days. But you can still send SR after 90 days. So let's just be patient, enjoy free time with your significant half. My husband said at least you are just waiting for something already settled, there are immigrants out there who got absolutely no hope. 

 

Cheers everyone!

Similar situation here. I put in an expedite on November 21st and got the same updates and a couple weeks later was informed through USCIS Tier 2 IO that my expedite has been approved, and my congresswoman has even told me that my EAD has been approved and is in production, that was over a week ago, but have yet to receive anything in the mail like an approval notice let online an online status update. Every time I call USCIS they tell me the case is still pending, which is conflicting info to what my congresswoman's office told me. I think USCIS costumer service can just see the same online status that I can see when I check the online status myself, also their system is not updating properly so it's really pointless and a waiting game. How long can an expedite process take??

 

but to answer our question @andreita.89pp the order in those updates is latest info on top, so the request completed was the latest update.

Exactly their system is a joke! Im filling in seattle and this month didn’t change still in december 1st! I just don’t understand how they work! Because we cant be in our houses not working for several months, if they have more applications, hire more people to work and make it fast! Thank you so much for your answer and I hope you will get it soon!!!

Day 90 - same as @PR&PR.  I have printed off my form to send to my senator...  I raised an SR a week ago but haven't called a tier two officer yet.  I am hoping that the recent rustling of of the arrival of letters and EADs on this forum in the past few days means that it will be here in the next week. 

This will be the ideal christmas present... At least I m able to see that some of you are getting your cards - it keeps the hope fire burning!

I just called USCIS and I have been speaking with a tier 2 officer which told me my advance parole and work permit are on the way and gave me a track number!! 🤩 My NOA date is sept 19!

Congratulations!! That is great news. Such a great christmas present

 

Has your online status changed at all? And have you signed up for USPS informed delivery and can see the package there as well?

No, my online status didn’t change, a trick if u want some information from them it’s that you call them and ask them for the tracking number of your advance parole or work permit, ( I asked for advance parole) They will conect you with a second tier officer and he will let you know if its acept it or no, or if its on the way, thats what I did and it work! I have an account with delivery usps too but they gave me the tracking number and said it will arrive on monday  So yeah is a good present. Try like I did and see if it work, its worth the try trust me! Good luck yo you

Hi guys!

 

I finally got a notice of action saying that they have approved my EAD/AP with a notice day of December 11th 

This is still not the card, I will update once I get it  It says it will be valid for a year.

 

As for the relevant dates: 

 

AOS, EAD and AP  - 09/08/17

RFE - 10/03/17

Request to expedite EAD on 11/13/17

Notice of EAD approval - 12/11/17

 

Best of luck for all of you!

Crazy that they haven't stopped your EAD process given your interview date of the 21st this month

I don't think they should for a couple of reasons:

 

- EAD is processed at a different office of I-485. Not sure they even look into when/if the interview is scheduled.

- I applied to an expedite because I have a job offer. The intended start date was December 4th, way before the interview. 

- I was lucky to be able to postpone the start date. However, in order to start on January I still need to provide the documents before hand. 

 

Don't get me wrong. I know I am lucky to be on a State where the field office is not very busy. Very happy to have the interview soon. But I don't think that should have stopped the EAD.
