Hi everyone!

 

I'm a new member here and I've been reading this thread since the beginning and I finally decided to make an account and participate☺️

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten their EAD and had their interview! I can't believe some people have already gone through the waiting and can start applying for jobs... I'm so jealous! 😅

 

So my aos application was filed on june 8th and I got the noa1 on june 18th. The biometrics were on july 13th and just a few days ago my aos status changed to "ready to be scheduled for an interview" but who knows how many months it will take. It makes me happy to know that they've at least gone through the application and SOMETHING has happened!

 

I'm really frustrated with the EAD though. The visajourney timeline says I should get it within a week (around october 12th to 25th but it's already the 17th🙄). I find that unlikely😥 Just because I feel that it's taking longer that it should. I do not have a driver's license yet but I've started learning the theory in case I get the EAD soon😥

yeah...i am a USC, but was in the same boat till this morning when we got the news about EAD. My wife is also learning the DL manual and scared she will have to drive me to work to get the car and be free. Is your FO Atlanta?

Hi everybody! I've reading this thread and I just realised my I-485 application status still says "Finger Fee was Received" although my EAD status just changed today (on October 16, 2018) into "New Card is Being Produced". Does anybody has the same track with me?

[Alabamak1 688]

in the old uscis website it says New card is being produced

YAY!!! 

Email and text from USCIS:

New Card Is Being Produced

On October 16, 2018, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSC189129XXXX, and will mail it to the address you gave us.

 

Hoping the AP comes with it and it arrives quickly! 

Keep us updated when you get it and if it's the combo card congratulations!!!

[naomzbish 23]

We received the combo card this week! My husband already got his driver's license with it and is so excited to return to work. Hoping that the rest of you all get your combo cards soon!

 

For those wondering: we filed at the end of June (timeline is in my signature), so I'm sure the rest of you will get your case adjudicated shortly!

I just disabled all notifications because tbh seeing how long our case is taking compared to others in my same area and that submitted way after and even got fingerprinted after, is not helping me get through this horrible wait 💅🏽 So for my sanity, good luck to y’all 👌🏽 I will just update my profile when needed 

[stellamahoo 179]

long time no post, on my behalf 🙈 currently on day 127!!! i never imagined to say that i'd rather complain about going to work every night than complaining not being able to work 😢 this is just so frustrating

So we had an interview for GC yesterday and we was approved!! Emotionally exhausted but absolutely happy!! 🤩🤩🤩 

Case status has changed to "card is being produced" in an hour after interview.

San-Diego office

 

Interview took about 30 minutes. IO was friendly and calm, but asked a lot of questions.

 

First he asked us to show all original documents - passport, birthday certificate, marriage and divorce papers.

 

He didn't ask a medical exam, I've send just vaccination list.

 

Then was questions from I-485 form: names, addresses, date of birth, date when i came to US, all those criminal/terrorist questions.

Then he asked when I first time came to US, how many times I was here and where, what type of visa i used. When I've got my K1 visa and where, if I worked in US before during my stay

 

Then he started to ask my husband - how we met, some questions about his divorce, he took his divorce papers and attached them to case. 

Asked him about his job, how we met first time, what we did my first visit.

 

To this time it started to look more as talking we both answered, he made notes in the case.

 

So other questions: when I came second time, if he visited my country, how long was my most long stay (I've stayed for 5,5 months before), how we engaged, about wedding, where we live now, why we use PO box for correspondence.

 

Then he asked what kind of joint papers we have - we has rent and insurances. He asked why we didn't make joint account, but for his bank we needed my SSN and I just got it 5 days ago so it our future step.

He said its ok, yes, some banks more care about documentaries and he knows that our bank works this way.

 

Then he looked through pictures - I've printed them on printer, two pictures on the list, about 25 pages - pictures from weddings, meeting with friends, with parents, from home and our travels and camping. He looked through all pictures, we made comments, and he took all pictures and attached to the case.

 

We also had a letter from friends, but he said he needn't it now. Also I had letter from friends with post stamps with congrats and stickers from amazon boxes with mu name and address on them - but never went through it)

 

Then he said that everything seems good, he just need to make one more background check and if nothing would out we would get a notification. Told about removal conditions and such things. 

 

In an hour we've got notification that New card is being proceed!))

Goood luck to everyone!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Our interview was October 11.

The USCIS staus changed to "New Card being Produced" the Monday after that which is the 15th. A couple of days after it said card being mailed to me.

 

This morning I got a notification saying USPS picked it up and was scheduled to be delivered on the 22nd of October, but when I checked the mail today I was surprised. I finally got it!!!

 

I hope you guys get yours soon too!

Fresh out of the oven, on a Sunday 6:47pm CST, USCIS said this:

 

Card Was Mailed To Me

On October 21, 2018, we mailed your new card for your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, Receipt Number MSC1891xxxxx, to the address you gave us. If you do not receive your card by November 5, 2018, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request that we send your new card to you.

I gotta tell you that to one point i was mad @Swissmiss82 @Paul & Mallory, because they even got interview before we even got EAD. Unreal. Not their fault, but we can breathe now finally. Hopefully everybody else here gets their EAD soon also. No driving or even taking advantage of some of the state owned facilities that only residents get i.e. Fishing license, hunting license and such. In rural Alabama there is literally nothing to do. My wife is free of being chainballed to the apartment.

i am sooo glad to hear you got EAD!!! ❤️ 

i fully understand how mad you were, cos i know that feeling... but at the same time, we all know how it is not fair at this process

and they just do whatever they want... i am just happy it worked out for you and you got EAD finally!!!! let's go with all the next steps

I hope you didn't take my rant personally and neither Paul and Mallory. I got mad at the fact, not you guys. Like i said before....this process can be challenging on all of us. My wife is not thrilled that she needs the car, and that would mean, she has to drive and bye bye chauffeur. LMAO. 

 

and Thank you for your post.
