Oh ok, I thought you said tou hadnt heard nothing bout i131 but if you got a combo card then that’s both i765+i131. The RFE pauses your case and resumes once everything is received and the ‘case ready to be scheduled’ means that you did send everything and you’re sitting in line for GC. Tbh I complained A LOT about how long my ead/ap took but theeeeeen I remembered the 2yr/10yr bit and calmed down because how wonderful it is to get this over with for one single fee👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽😁

Ah lol no I only got EAD not my AP, but if I apply to renew my EAD I will do AP as well. Last time Uscis messed up my I-765, they denied it stating I sent in an incorrect fee, but there was actually no fee at all and I sent out all 3 forms together (i-485, i-765, i-131). I was having a job at that time using EAD of my F-1 visa so I couldn't risk losing my job. I expedited and luckily I got approved within 1 and half month, got the actual card 2 weeks after the approval notice

I almost had a stroke when my card was supposed to be delivered and the post office said they lost it but then the card showed up and uff peace ✌🏽 since you’ve been waiting for so long I’m sure you’ll be next in line and this nightmare (that no one tells you about) will soon be over for you🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

I'm sure if I were you, I would feel the same since it would take forever for them to give out a replacement card. Your office is in NY so it might take longer than other places? I saw some people from Detroit got their interview after 3-4 months, I'm jealous lol

OMG, mine is 9.5-13.5 months. Well, I won't complain anymore then lol.

Btw when you land, you can ask the officer over there and they will tell you where to go, if you travel with your USC you should be able to stand in the USC line

Wow 9.5-13.5!!! That’s not bad! Just deduct however long you’ve waited since you received your noa  (after rfe) and calculate your wait time from there! And THANK YOU for the advice, i had no idea what to do!!!

This wait is a pain in the A$$ 😒

As of July 25 my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview. 251 days so far!

So frustrating 😤

 

At least I got the EAD/AP card... but job hunt is also very slow! Everybody is just taking their sweet time.

Mine was ready for interview since July 24th and I already have a date,  so only a day before yours and I am in the 2nd busiest office in the country so hopefully you get a date soon. Goodluck on the job hunt! I have found the best way to get a job here is to network! Meet people, be active on Linkedin. I made friends with my husbands manager 3 months before I got my EAD and when it came through I started work for them the same week. I recently switched to a different job that paid a bit more in a field I want to work in and I got that job through networking too, I am part of a community group here in our area and it just so happened that one of the members is a manager at a big international company and got me a interview, interview went well and I was offered the position. Network, network,network!! I am a whole lot less active on instagram than I used to be but when I do go I always go check your guys profile to see if anything exciting has happened for you two. Keep your head up girl, you got this!

Our AOS changed back to interview ready to be scheduled as of February 12th. I feel like we had a date and lost it which sucks hard since we have no EAD. We are waiting on the Congressman's office now. Unfortunately a lawyer isn't an option anymore. We can't justify the expense.

Try your local legal aid service. You might get free laywer to help you! Call the senator.

Did you try to place an expedite request? If you did they might answer you really quickly. I got the email answered me right on the same day about my expedite request. They said my case was ready to be scheduled so they can't expedite it (my status was "finger print was completed" or sth)

[KateWB 98]

As of February 1st we’ve been scheduled for an interview. 

Our interview is set for March 18th 

 

we anticipated a wait of 11-24 months but it’s only been 7.5 months and we’ve been scheduled already 🤗

Anyone else in Los Angeles just watching the average time to interview move forward day after day?! I didn't think this would be as hard, but my god I want to travel back home to visit my family.

Yup! Seems like we have a similar time line. 

Mine has been ready for interview since July 24th, got my EAD end of October.    

 

And same same to the job hunt. I find it a lot harder and more flaky than in the Netherlands 😔
