The ultimate frustration. Could the USPS be worse run than the USCIS?

Website says it left one facility and never arrived anywhere else.

Still scheduled for today but it's 10 pm and it's clearly not going to arrive.

All my carrier could tell me was that 2 day priority mail is not guaranteed.

What's the stinking point of calling it that then?

Wasting my tax dollars on this jacked up organization.

Privatize, raise rates, and do a good job! Could there be a more simple solution?

What a steaming hot pile horse manure!

My 2 day is looking like 5 day assuming they haven't lost it.....

I'm bitter.

And Yes, the links in my EAD shipped email and text were all broken with no tracking number. Only found it on the Case status website,

Wow. This thread seems so much more active than the Family-Based progress reports.

Seems like I'm on about the same page as many of you.

EAD delivery On the 30th, testing and interview, waiting for my appointment.

Cheers!

Make sure you browser is generating the bar codes on the forms. Chrome did not for me, I had success with IE.

Application Type: I765 , APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production

On November 27, 2013, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file.

Well, we seem to be tracking MTS quite nicely.

This notice came just after 04:00 am.

I imagine we should get a tracking number next? An interview appointment would be nice too

Filed for AOS/I-130 package on Sept 25, RFE along the way (sorry haven't set up a timeline but if you go back in the thread you'll find my information)

Update on I-765 toay:

The USPS reported that they picked up mail from USCIS containing your new card on November 26, 2013. The USPS tracking number assigned is xxxxxxxxxxxx

62 days from initial filing to the mailing of the card. RFE had put everything on hold for a month but idk if it would've been processed faster (an entire month faster, i.e. end of October) had it not been for the RFE. I do, however, think that the early walk-in helped speed it up to some extent

Cool, I'm hoping mine is out the door on Wed.

I just checked my status online ! But there was no text msg, is that normal ?

On November 26, 2013, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Congrats!

Sure...but what does the marriage certificate say?

On ours there is a space for "new names (if any)" which is the new legal name.

If you've created a new legal name by marriage, how does this affect the decision to move forward with the maiden name?

Not applicable to us, just relevant to this topic.

Isn't this a decision that needs to be finalized at the marriage license application stage? That's the way it was in our locale.

I'm not sure what advantage there is in waiting until January.

Certainly EAD and AP would be delayed.

Good luck.

Remember Novembers.... The Sweet spot for EAD/Combo AP is 55 to 65 days. Don't stress, just get your biometrics taken care of, grab a social security number, and enjoy an umbrella drink. Good luck

Nice!

On November 24, 2013, we mailed you an appointment notice for an interview for December 30, 2013. Please follow the instructions on the notice.

Awesome! Hope to be keeping pace a few days behind you at the end of this week!

Did you get this after your case advanced to Testing and interview?

Did it come in stead of an interview appointment letter that you may have been expecting?

I'm waiting on my appointment letter now.

Thanks

Yes! Congrats vross!

Shelliebell and a kumi and drake...

I'm guessing this week for both of you.

I bet you'll some movement.

Good luck

Actually, it looks like I did get the text on the i765 along with the email.

Nothing for i485 when that email came though.

My EAD was approved today as well. Fill out you timeline and stop by the sept filers thread. Congrats

Did you set up text messaging on your account with USCIS?

Yes, mobile is set up. I just removed the hyphens to see if that makes a difference.

Got email/text this morning saying that EAD/AP is on the way!

63 days since NOA1!

I was curious because we got an email but never our texts not he i485 status change.

I-131 approved in Post Decision Activity today and I-765 card production ordered. Had a celebratory happy hour tonight and 2 to 10 beers were in order. Finally! Bring it on, interview

What type of notification came through if any?

So I guess my question is are we beyond the RFE stage on the I-485 if we have moved to testing and interview? It seems like MTS got his RFE early and has advance through that stage to Testing and Interview. Hence my question.

Congrats MTS!

Your I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS is now ready for interview scheduling.

We hit today as well!!!

No texts, just an email. Just I-485.

Still waiting on EAD

Cheers!

All the help line did was to enter an electronic query if I could attend. I got a response with a typo saying I could attend. I took it with me as I accompanied my Fiancé. Submit a request for approval to attend online.

Take that email printout for sure.

Our travel docs page never said we had an interview scheduled.
