APRIL 2018 AOS FILERS

[Cristina24 122]

hey to everyone who has already found work, congrats! I am curious whether you need to show your education levels for a simple retail job. I heard you need a high school diploma at least or a GED. Which i have neither! If anyone could please share their experience it would be great

04-19 155 days and counting..

My received date was April 5 and I just got it. So you have time to wait, at least 2 weeks 🤷🏻‍♀️ Be patient, it should come this month or beginning of the next one.

Congratulations!. Yes it feels relief when we get notified EAD approved and get a job offer. I think it depends on location. I got the real EAD card a week after the notification on email. But some people got it after two weeks of notification.  

I got my EAD 4 days after I received the notification! Two days after that, I had two phone interviews and I got two job offers the same day! I'm so glad that I'll be able to work now after a 7-month hiatus here in the US. Now I'm gonna miss my husband for sure when I start working. Hahaha Good luck @JloveN 💙💙💙

I totally relate! My husband got his EAD about a week and a half ago and immediately started filling out applications. He has four interviews, two which he just went on. He just got a job offer but is waiting to finish other interviews before he makes a decision about which one to take. It is actually making me SO sad! I started working online from home when he moved here so we could be together during this time. We spend all day and night together and I'm secretly really sad to see him go to work....even though I love and support him wanting to be an independent person. It is just SUCH a change going from living on opposite sides of the world, to being with him 24/7 since April and it was really nice. Oh well...back to the real world!!

Hi everyone,

 

Finally, after 169 days (5.5 months) of waiting for my EAD, the status changed to "New Card Is Being Produced"! 
RD: April 6, 2018 (NBC) 

Filed I-485 in California but now living in Texas

[Lsthorpe1 129]

I really think my file has been lost or something

 

I’m going to call on Monday. I have a job interview on Tuesday for an early November start date. I need things to start moving! Yes, ranting on here really does help. 😠

I think you should hold off on that. @alongjas has a very similar PD to mine and he only just got his EAD. My PD is April 9. Yours is April 2. Requesting for expedition may bump you off the line especially if you are already close because most times it's 30 days before they get on your case after the first week of "completing your request for expedition." If your center is NBC you have 9 days from today till you can officially ask them for it online and you'll get it immediately. Hang in there, either way, you'll get it soon.

Wow. We have the same situation! My husband works from home too! So from March 1 this year, we were together all day and all night. ❤❤❤ It's gonna be strange because my work will be 12 hours per day, 3 times a week. I'm a nurse so I'm really gonna be busy. But at least I still have 4 days left each week for family! And btw, I need to relocate to Austin TX for this position because I really could not get an interview in my area (Dallas). Good thing he can ask for a transfer there because they have an office there too. He's very supportive about the move. After months of waiting for the uncertain, suddenly everything falls into place!

For retail job. I think it depends on the company and the position you applied for. When I went to applied the job that I have right now, I brought my resume, education certificate etv. Surprisingly the company didn't ask for all of those documents I brought. I just needs to fill up the forms online, fill the training game, pass the drug test. That's all. I think you just need to try to apply the job you wish. Because I feel here in the US, applying job is very simple compared to my experience in Asia.

Oh really? I didn’t know it worked like that! Good to know! I did request to expedite about 3 weeks ago, but never heard anything back. I ended up going to my local office and getting an emergency AP instead. Do you think that’s held me up?
