F2A NBC 2016 Filers

[F2AOct 9]

Hello.

 

Any F2A's out there with the service center of NBC? 

Here is my timeline- 

 

PD 03/28/16
i130 APPROVE- 7/14/16
AOS i485, i131, i765 received by USCIS 10/4/17
Biometrics done 11/8/17
Raised an SR- 12/29/17

Waiting for EAD..

 

Please share if your timeline is somewhere near to mine.  99 days and counting. How many more days do i have to wait??

In the last report published at USCIS it shows that Employment Authorization Documents at NBC were taking up to 4 months to be processed.

 

I don't know for AOS, but the forecast is that the next visa bulletin would move to the beginning of march. However, for AOS I understand would depend on the forms processing, my guess would be between 6 and 10 months for the i485, I actually don't know if varies by your local office, or anything else, because I am doing it via Consular Processing.

Thank you for this info. But for now I only care about getting my EAD. And that is taking up to 6 months??

service request. i called USCIS and put in a service request for them to check on my case on day 86. i havent heard anything as of yet. 

[Tenreyro 174]

Oh, yeah, they take their time, I was actually checking the processing tables, it says that on October 31st, they were processing the cases from June 30th, but also says that if your i795 has been pending for more than 75 days you can submit an inquiry. When you filed the contact form it should have given you an approximate date for response, usually like 3 or 4 weeks later.

 

Keep in mind that your PD is not the one on October, but the one on March, that is for Visa Bulletin purposes, since that is the date you filed the document that opened your path to the GC.

[Tenreyro 174]

And also, they are not able to grant you permanent residency until your PD is current on the Visa Bulletin, that's why I wanted you to keep in mind the one on March as your PD.

Yes, I'm aware of that. Thank you though for the info. 

 

Seems like there are not that many people from NBC who are F2A category. I just want to know who all got their EADs so I can track.

Thank you for this. But it might be true for other service centers and not NBC...NBC seems to be working on a snails pace.

Yes, that the things with averages. I was looking through the timelines, and some people have received it the same months of their biometrics, other ones 4 months later, each case is different, and a lot of us in this forum share thar knowledge that that waiting is a tortuous process. Hope the best for you, and that your case can be completed soon.
