Real quick since you mentioned: She was given an SSN a couple years ago when she was here as an opair, but we've assumed so far that it is no longer valid, so we have left it off of forms... Are we correct in doing so do you think?

I honestly have no idea if it's in any way valid, but I do know that your SSN will never change. I would have included it in the forms, but I don't know if you can use it for bank accounts and whatnot (as in, if you're breaking the law if you do). It probably wouldn't hurt to go to your bank and provide them the receipt for I-485 and the old SSN and ask their opinion though, just mention that the SSN was issued under a different status and she's now adjusting to permanent resident. Just a thought

Well, my EAD got approved today. Exactly 6 months June 28-Dec 28. I wonder if they would send me a combo card. Is it ok to travel on the work permit ?

Congrats! Did you submit a case inquiry? And did they approval arrive in mail or email?

Hi,

i did submit case inquiry but that was just last week and it wasn’t assigned to anybody. I also spoke to my congressman’s office last week but Idk if that influenced it. Hopefully my interview will be soon

Well, I just checked the website and apparently my expedite what I submitted last week was reviewed by an officer today and said it was approved today. So Idk lol. I just requested an expedite since it was taking so long and one week later It was looked at by an officer and got the EAD approved.

Hello!

 

Any June 2018 filers already receive their marriage interview notices, especially anyone from Atlanta, GA? 

According to USCIS, we can't submit a renewal for EAD more than 180 days before the original EAD expires, so looks like we need to renew sometime in April (hubby got EAD sometime in late October).

hey guys, haven't been on here for awhile but just wanted to update for those of you that has helped me!

 

So from my previous posts, you guys know that my work permit was taking more than 6 months and I have requested for expedited service through both USCIS and my congressman. However, even reaching out, I never received any assistance.

 

On Dec 11 2018, I got a notification regarding my green card interview and it was scheduled for today (Jan 15, 2018). Then on Jan 11, 2018 I got another notification telling me that my EAD card was being produced (literally only 4 days before my green card interview). Anyways, the interview was this morning and it went really well. The immigration officer we had was awesome and I honestly had a great time talking to her. Just prepare all supporting documents and RELAX. So now I'm waiting on to see which one (work permit or green card) comes in first.

 

Let me know if you guys have any questions for me and good luck!

Congrats!!!! What's your PD date? And also if you don't mind asking, what state are you from? I wonder if for marriage interview cases, if it varies by state...

It absolutely varies, not just by state, but by each individual field office. I'm not the person you're asking, but my interview was 5.5 months after my PD (July 3rd I think), and the time, my field office processing times were 5.5 to 8 months. Some field offices take a minimum of a year. What's your field office?

After i submitted a case inquiry (i was over the processing time for EAD) i finally got a reply (on the very last day) - status changed to "Card/ Document Production " 

This changed only for EAD case #, so i wonder if i should submit a separate inquiry for the Travel Document? I thought that they are issuing only one document that is both EAD and Travel. Does anyone know how that works? 

 

Beside that, my AOS case is still in the "Ready to be schedule for interview", since August 2018! I am in Chicago, not sure if this is normal to have it so long in this stage..

You're probably getting the combo card. The status only updated on one of my case statuses too and I got the combo card.

[hrckica 7]

One day later AoS case status changed to "Interview was scheduled"! Didn't get the notice yet so not sure about the interview date, but it is interesting how it moved as soon as they looked at my EAD case inquiry. Hope it is not too long now.. 

[hrckica 7]

EAD and AP card received! 

Also received the interview date - March 18th. They sent it to my old address, even though I changed it back in August and the address change is clearly in their system! But my problem now is that i can't attend on March 18th as i will be traveling. I called them and put in a rescheduling request, but the officer said it takes 15-30 days to reply to a request, which is at my interview date! And from what i am reading, they can actually reject my request to reschedule! I hope that won't be the case...
