That is true. I wonder what the backlog really looks like. We filed first day of March and have NOAs of 3/10. We just narrowly missed the appointment letter being sent out as they shut down. 

That's a month before me and I see that the Philadelphia ASC opens 7/13. Given that you are looking at about 2 weeks of people ahead of you, I'm hopeful for you! I would say there is a fair chance that you get it before the end of the month!!

At this point in time I don't even care about the AOS. I just want my EAD/AP so i can start working and doing something productive with my day, put my brain to some good use.

Facts, I feel the same way.

So not sure if this means anything but i was just on the USCIS website to check my case and my i485 changed from fingerprint fee was received back to case was received.

Very strange... hopefully its not them giving me an RFE and it means they are working on the case again.... 🤷🏿‍♂️

Anyone else got the same? its just totally bizarre

Hoping that’s it’s simply them reviewing your case!

This is getting super discouraging since everything is apparently open now but no updates.

Do you have a job lined up?

A few recruiting agencies are in contact with me but won’t move forward until I have the EAD.

That's unfortunate.  Best of luck to you.

So, I talked to USCIS on the military hotline yesterday. They told me that from the date of the field office opening, it could take 30-60 days to get the Biometrics appointment letter. I filed in March, didnt get my NOA1 until the middle of April, so I assume it will be quite some time before I get my biometrics appt and then my EAD/AP 😞

I called USCIS too, but the answer they gave me is '' naturalization first ''

This is a cookie cutter response.  Dont be discouraged by it.

I spoke with a USCIS representative and they said that right now only biometrics are being scheduled for those individuals whose biometrics were previously cancelled. The different phases are for those people. 
 

for example, I am in the Philadelphia office and they opened on July 13th. Right now first phase appointments are being completed. There are two more phases to get through and they are only for those individuals who had a biometrics date back in March. I believe she said every phase takes about two weeks. After the three phases are completed, then they will start scheduling new biometrics. She said for Philadelphia we are probably looking to receive a letter by mid or late August.

 

Hope this helps. It seems every representative gives different information but this makes sense because our priority date is March 31st and we still have not received an appointment letter. For offices opening end of July, it might be until end of September you may not get an appointment.
