Yesterday (11/07/2020) we got the NOA1 receipt notice for the EAD renewal.  The letter from NBC confirming they have the same case and are processing it.  Then, a third letter from USCIS acknowledging that we do not need a second biometrics and they will be using the one taken last year.   FYI, no receipt number for AP.  We are thinking they are the combo card, thus, they didn't issue two receipt notices.  Asking around to see what's up.

Sent:  10/10/2020

Delivered:  10/14/2020

Receipt Text:  11/04/2020

Receipt Letter:  11/07/2020

Hey everybody!

On Friday, after nine months of waiting I got my notice that my interview was scheduled. The status changed on the page but I didn´t receive any confirmation on the mail stating the date and place yet. 

I´m collecting the last pieces of evidence that I can think of and getting ready. Finally.. one step closer!

Will post here when they send me the letter the papers they are asking for in case it was updated.

Congrats! It will take at least a week for the letter to arrive. For me it took 4 business days

Great news! Definitely one step closer

Good to know because I am already getting anxious and running to the mailbox every couple of hours.

Something I forgot to mention, I did called and opened a request because my application was taking more time than expected. They resolved it without changing the status but a couple of weeks after I got this change, so definatly worth calling if you didn´t so far.

 

Thanks everybody!

Did you submit the inquiry on the lower end of the range or the upper? For example, our office is between 10 months (we are at 13) and 27 months, so I haven’t submitted anything waiting on the upper range.

I don´t remember exactly what were the processing times for Saint Paul, MN offices but for what I saw around here it was between 10 - 15 months total. We filled on Oct 15th last year and I got my status changed to "waiting to schedule an interview" on April 29th.

When I called to open the request, they told me that if you haven´t got an update for 90 days, then you´re entitled to open one. Of course this does not mean that they will make it happen faster but, I honestly think it does not hurt to open the request and make sure somebody actually opens your case and your folder. I would go ahead and try anyway. Worst case scenario nothing happens. But that's just my opinion.

 

Hope it helps!

Sent a message to USCIS regarding AP renewal, since it has been a week after we got notice on EAD and they were in the same packet - clearly marked.  Also, sent an inquiry on AOS.  Let's see what happens.

[Fe.Ta 857]

@TBoneTX So, we sent EAD and AP renewal in the same packet, clearly marked. Still, it seems they did not process AP. Packet got delivered 10/14/2020, got NOA via text 11/04/2020 and letter 11/07/2020 for EAD. What should we do for AP?

We are sharing this here so you have more details on our case and tips - in case this can be helpful. Since we had not received AP renewal NOA1, and it had been over a week that we received renewal EAD NOA1, we tried messing with the case numbers to find out if a notice was on its way for AP. After several attempts of adding or removing a number from the EAD receipt number and trying to use the same access code, we failed in finding any AP case that was ours. Thus, we decided to contact USCIS. We sent several messages through the new inbox feature on the USCIS website. Also, we submitted a case inquiry for the AOS and the EAD/AP situation on 11/11/2020 and 11/12/2020. Whether it was the renewals, the several messages, or the inquiries, we got the interview notification on 11/12/2020 for AOS. We had been on "ready for interview" since February 2020. Orlando field office is between 10 and 27.5 months as of today (11/13/2020) and our case was at 14 months since submission. So, all that to say, if it has been more than 90 days without a movement on your case, especially AOS, even if the processing times in your office are long, submit a case inquiry to see if it will generate something.
