Hi community! We got our 'Initial Request for Evidence' 4 months after filing for AOS, EAD and AP. Apparently we missed a tax document..We now sent the latest tax info for 2017 AND 2016. We included every page (20 pages per year) so should be ok now..

 

2 questions:

• Will a RFE that was meant for my AOS affect when I'll receive my EAD?
• If so, does anyone have an idea how long it will approx. take for them to send me my EAD from this moment on? I read on some forums that this will 'restart' the clock! Other forums says it will pick up where it left off.

 

Let me know.. Thanks. Fleur

Our RFE was resolved within two weeks. Taxes as well. A month later we have our interview. No issues. It’ll be okay. March 30 filerfilet

Just wanted to update people. Its been 32 days since status changed to “interview was scheduled “ .... still no letter in the mail. 🤨 

Submit a service request. We submitted at day 30, it came very soon after

So yesterday our I-290B motion was delivered to the National Benefits Center. We paid 27$ for it to get there within 2 days becasue time was running out. I really hope to God they approve my case again. To start this process all over again would be devastating. Do you think we are much likely to get approved since the documents they denied us over are included now? (tax return and birth cert)

Hi all,

 

Hope everyone is doing good and is almost through this process!!! I had my interview on Thursday November 1st and thought I’d share my experience on here since this forum has been so helpful for me these past 7 months. 

 

My appointment was at 1030am at the Detroit office. We got there an hour early just to be extra prepared and were informed we couldn’t check in until 30 minutes before our appointment. We waited and then at 10:00 am we checked in. 

 

About 30-40 minutes later we were called up. (Waiting is horrible...every minute felt like an hour LOL). 

 

Our immigration officer was very kind, and seemed to have already reviewed our file. When we introduced oursleves she said she recognized us from all the photos we submitted (we literally sent over 100)

 

She asked us to place our things down and to remain standing to swear us in. 

 

After she asked my husband who’s an attorney if he’s the one who filed our application and he advised yes. She told him he did a very good job and our application was very detailed and we had a submitted a lot of evidence. 

 

She went through our application confirming all the information. 

 

Litterally the only question she asked was “tell me the love story”. My husband explained it while she wrote some things down. 

 

She then asked to see the original documents of our birth certs, marriage certs and etc. 

 

We had brought a bunch of albums with us that we wanted her to look at but she literally said she didn’t need to. I asked her just to view our wedding album and she quickly did. 

 

She asked us if we wanted to submit anything else in our file, I gave her some more bank statements, life insurance and etc. 

 

 

She said she cant give a decision right now just has to review a few more things and told us we would know within 30 days. 

 

Told us about removing conditions after 2 years and walked us out & told us to have a great day. 

 

We walked out sort of upset as we thought we’d at least get a verbal approval since we felt it went so well. 

 

Next day Friday afternoon, got an update “New Card in Production”. Can’t wait for my card to be in my hands and this process be over. 

 

Thankfully our officer was very nice and professional and didn’t make us nervous. Felt like a casual talk. 

 

 

Overall great experience and I hope you all have positive outcomes in the end as well!!

I wish you the absolute best of luck!! I agree, but from what I read from all the forums is that Is the norm now a days. Rare to get an approval on the spot. So don’t be alarmed if that happens to you, just wait about 24-48 hours and you should see an update!!

Hi guys,

[Meingandu 9]

Yes I’m still waiting. I am early April filer. My interview has already happened 4 months ago. I received EAD but not AP. Anyone facing the same situation that they received EAD but no AP

Confused??? Isn’t EAD/AP a combo card?? I was under the impression that if you have your EAD then you’re good as it states your eligible for travel (so to speak). I’m pretty sure you don’t get two separate cards???

That’s the assumption and usually uscis practice but here I’m the unusual case who did not receive the AP. I received EAD in August and since then waiting for AP. And that’s the one I’m in dire need of. I already had EAD from my education which expires 10 months later. I really didn’t needed EAD.

Oh no! That really sucks! I filed April 2nd and I still haven’t recieved my EAD/AP so I feel your pain.

 

I have been issued two emergency AP though. I got to go back to England for 14 days in March and 10 days in September.

 

If your in dire need like you say, maybe you could go to your local office and see if they can help you.

I feel you too. They have made it harder for people and they are enjoying it. But karma wins in the end. If your emergency Ap has been approved then for how long was it. And when did you get it approved...what is your local field office?? My local field office is a joke. Infopass is a joke. I went there two weeks ago and the officer said it will get rejected. It goes through chain of approvals and most probably it will get rejected. I have opened up SR, expedite, inquiries, contacted senator, contacted ombudsman but all in vain. I’ve an emergency and need to go and it is just getting painful. I’m planning to go again next week for infopass. But have very very low hope on local field office.
