WHEN you go to your GC interview, IF you have been married for less than 2 years, you get a 2 year conditional GC
Which then, 90 days before it expires, you file for the 10 year GC.

The type of GC you get originally depends on your marriage date

i.e. less than 2 years of marriage at interview = 2 Year GC

more than 2 years or marriage at interview = 10 year GC

So if your office is running 23 months right now and u go for your interview, if at the time of interview you have been married for 2 years, you get a 10 year GC automatically.
 

Hope that helps!

I just received my approval letter and it says " welcome to the United states of America.......your card will expire in ten years"

This sucks....where is our EAD ? 😢 This sucks to hear EAD in production for many of you guys and even GC.  Feeling left out. @Tomalley any progress on yours?

Nothing at all. Honestly I just realized that seems June fliers got their ead and they are from Europe like Switzerland , Sweden.. I am thinking maybe uscis process them quicker than other countries. Many april or may filers didn’t get their EAD even. But what can we do, just have to wait. I really think GC and EAD are processing unfairly, just like K1 visa. They don’t process by the date you sent in.

Believe it or not: our status for I-765 just changed to "NEW CARD IS BEING PRODUCED" !!!!!

GC still shows "case is ready to be scheduled..." but as long as I can start working soon

 

I cross fingers for everyone that it goes quick now too... Slowly but surely they are moving into the right direction for us Juni-es! 

Congratulations  Have you decided what type of job you want to go into? Back to administrative, or creative (still looking forward to your cupcakes once I come to Savannah one day!)

Hi guys I am New York filers, we filed July 26, 2018 and had Biometric last Aug. 23 and we still haven’t hear anything from USCIS. My case still says “fingerprint fee was received. I’m Glad some of the July filers had there interviews. I’m hoping more approvals.

thaaaanks a lot!!!  

for now, def back to administrative, will see what comes up  but I have ideas of doing a side business with cupcakes/officiating weddings/photography so we'll see how that goes!  

 

I'm glad to see you have received yours and are done with that waiting game. let's see how long it takes for the invitation for the GC now

 

also... any luck on jobs yet? i have tried to check on linkedin a lot, but i think our area here is very limited  and must be old school,

cos it doesn't show sooo many jobs!  

 

@Alabamak1 don't get frustrated - you were one of the first to have your status changed, and we know this waiting game is annoying for everybody!  you'll be next soon!!!

Yesss to side hustles 

 

Nope, I literally started looking today (have been looking earlier too but those positions are all gone now) but I have a few companies I'm really interested in. I check Glassdoor, Planted (startup jobs only), Linkedin and just today I also checked out Ziprecruiter. There's also Indeed and Monster, but I haven't looked at those yet. Good luck with the job searching  I'm cool with it taking some time, I want it to feel like a really good match.

Well, it's official! Paul's GC arrived in the mail yesterday!! We nearly cried happy tears. What a long road. I can officially testify that the moment this all comes to fruition.. it IS ABSOLUTELY worth everything you've gone through. I've never been more proud of my husband.

 

It's overwhelming, but finally in a GOOD WAY. We are in crunch time with all the final planning details of our belated wedding celebration a week from Saturday, and it feels good to have something even more to celebrate. It's the first time both of our families will be together in the same place, and we can't wait!! His parents will be flying in this time next week

 

Congrats to everyone getting their EADs lately! Seems like that process has finally picked up a bit, thank goodness. I remember thinking it'd be close to the end of the year, when we first mailed out his applications, for combo cards to be received. Doesn't seem like that'll be the case now!

Anyone receive there GC from Chicago IL? I filed June 1st haven't heard anything i've only received my Parole to leave the country.

So more than 2 years or marriage at interview = 10 year GC,  it’s actually better so that I don’t have to go through the whole process again (if they would let me refresh my EAD/AP), but the worst is probably 1.9 years marriage at interview, that’ll definitely be the worst😂

 

And thanks for your explanation, it does help to understand!🌹

if you returned the documents that they requested and you don't hear back in within 2 weeks, I'd follow up via phone and check on that, otherwise just re-send the documents maybe possibly certified so you know they received it?

Or do you have tracking of the package you sent in? 

When our RFE came in, I sent the documents a day later and they updated the status to "received" 4 days later... so I would not wait more than 2 weeks

Thanks for your Replu Swissmiss82. Yes, we tracked the package and it says it was received. Is there any phone that we can call? I tried many times in USCIS website phone but they dont answer.

[Dot13 69]

Please help. I received the interview letter and they ask me to bring an interpreter if my husband does not speak English fluently . He doesn't. He understands a little. Should I pay an interpreter or can I translate for him. Please help if you been in that position. Thank you.

We applied for EAD & AP with our AOS on Jun 1.  Yesterday our status updated for EAD to "New Card is being Produced".

Good News!  Yeah!  but also question.  AP didn't get updated, but since it should be combo card, they means the EAD is good 

for both correct?  Did anyone else have one update and the other not?
