APRIL 2018 AOS FILERS

[KozmicBlues 592]

Husband just got the email for the EAD application... NEW CARD IS BEING PRODUCED! Wooooooo-hooooooo!!! No change on the AP case but seems that's normal from what everyone else has said. I was sending such positive vibes into the universe the last week and telling myself it would get approved any day now! It worked

Hello everyone!

 

I have a question to those who have their EAD expedited.. how long did you get a decision?

 

I requested last August 30 and I called earlier to follow up the status. I was told that it will take up to 30 days.. for the expedite decision? Is that really true? I'm on my 141 days since I filed I-765..

 

Hope to hear from you guys! Thank you

Hi all,

 

We applied beginning of April and my wife just received her EAD/AP combo card yesterday which we were excited to receive after a long wait.... however there is one issue. There is a missing letter in her middle name - its not a glaring mistake, but it is a mistake, however everything else is correct. On her I-797 for her AP, her middle name is spelled correctly with all information correct, however on the I-797 for the I-765 employment authorization, there is the incorrect spelling.

 

We called USCIS last week when we received the I-797, and they stated that they fixed the error and that it wouldn't affect the card, however clearly that was wrong. 

 

I am mainly posting this because we had international travel plans this coming month and dont want to wait another 5 months to receive an updated card from USCIS... would the missing letter in her middle name on her card put her at risk of getting denied parole into the US, or would she be okay considering the I-797 for her parole is correct? Thanks

My husband received the update about the card being in production on August 24th. We received the paperwork at the house on August 29th. We received the card today, September 7th. So it was a little over two weeks for those who asked.

I saw a couple of people I think who got an interview in Philly like after a few months this year but it was highly unusual. The rest cases that I have seen took about a year so they were couples who applied for AOS in 2017 so this is what I am thinking we will have to wait.

Agreed very few got early not sure how but looks like they sticking to timeline as uscis website 

what’s ur i485 case status currently. My wife and kid it’s says case in line for interview scheduling!!

It will affect her traveling because the name on her passport will be different from the name on the document that is permitting her to travel. Unless you get a replacement card, I suggest you don't risk it. You may want to go with the I-797 to prove the mistake was immigration's but you will be at the mercy of the officer you are talking to at the airport. If he/she isn't understanding, you're in a fix. Again, don't risk it.

I also asked for expedition on the 30th Aug, makes me wonder if it'll add time to the strange order they work their cases in...

April 20th received date by the National Benefits Center with no news. Meanwhile, there are people who filed after that date who have gotten their EAD. What the hell is going on.

If you imagine there are a hundred caseworkers who each receive a batch of files (say, dating March through April), each caseworker operates at a different speed, so some will be much further in their workloads than others. The files are being completed chronologically as far as USCIS is concerned, but to us outsiders it appears random and unfair. It's sad and frustrating, but every job I've done of a similar type tends to organize their workload in this way.

 

Visajourney's stats on the processing date for employment authorization seems to take a midpoint across all users, so it's a good measure of where the average USCIS caseworker is at. It's currently showing April 15th.
