Maybe you could call USPS and check on the discrepancy? I'm just like you and like being able to see all the documents which is why I sent by mail but getting frustrated too because i think the process gets slightly longer (cashing check etc. when we send it by mail). Hopefully it got delivered to the right address and you'll get the NOA in the next few days!

A quick search has turned up several instances similar to my own. I'm going to give it a day or two and see what happens and then call. Due to the holiday, things are a little slower. 

Annoyed because I sent the packaged last Wednesday to the USCIS Phoenix PO box via the address they provide on their website, which shows 85036 zip code, and USPS says it was "delivered" to 85034. What the heck does that mean? Just hoping someone from USCIS gets it and we get a notification soon. I like sending by mail because I like being able to physically touch everything, it gives me peace of mind.. but this isn't making me any less anxious! 

GC Date: April 10, 2015

N-400 filed via Phoenix dropbox: 1/10/2018

Received biometrics, appointment set up for Feb 6

Hello all -- filed on Jan. 10, received NOA on 1-17 from the California service center in Laguna Nigel. Today, our President signed an executive order freezing all hiring and pay raises for federal employees. How will this effect the USCIS? I saw a comment on Reddit earlier regarding expectations to expect further delays... 

Hi everyone, long time lurker and some time poster. I feel like we've been on a journey together and today my wife received notice that her card is in production! You're actually the first people we're telling about this. It's an unreal feeling and a massive weight off of our backs.

Now my question is -- we applied for the EAD/AP renewal about two weeks ago and actually received the NOA's yesterday! How will they process that now or will they just ignore it?

Hope everyone is doing well and hang in there!

Indeed, we were April 2014 filers as well. We've just sent off for her EAD/AP renewal. It's a long wait, apparently.

Thanks, Hypnos.

Do we need to schedule another biometrics appointment then?

Finally received a written response basically telling us that they'll get to us when they get to us... whatever that means.

EAD renewal requires only a copy of the front and back of the current EAD, together with a copy of your I-485 receipt NOA show it's still pending.

So just:

- Copy of EAD/AP card front and back

- Copy of I-485 NOA1

- I-131 & I-765 forms filled out

- Passport photos for each

Would that do it? I've been seeing conflicting lists all over the place... We've got the passport photos and everything else ready to go.

Hi there,

Trying to renew the EAD/AP card and every checklist I see refers to a 'tear off' portion of a sheet the EAD came on. Well, as it is, we've lost the page. Is it necessary? Can we just copy the card front and back or what?

At this point we're just along for the ride.

We spoke with a Tier 2 person who, later in an email, told us that our case couldn't be expedited for work reasons. Well, we never ASKED for it to be expedited on work reasons, we asked for it to be expedited because it's outside of the normal processing time!

So we submitted another case inquiry and I've written my Congresswoman.

STILL waiting on anything. Filed a case inquiry two weeks ago and it still hasn't been answered... what is going on over there?

Just filed an inquiry. We received our interview waiver letter in July, of course. My wife's EAD expires in July 2015, when should we apply for its renewal? Do we need to do that in March in case they don't get back to us in time?

You will need your receipt number

Cool, thanks.

We filed in April 2014 for the AoS, got EAD and travel card in July along with a letter about an interview waiver. Still waiting, no update. Hopefully soon!

Where do you check your status online?

Good news! My wife called back today to check on the status because our clerk told us to check back again in 5 days -- well, it's really only been two but that put us over the 10 days thing.

Left a message and he called back this afternoon saying that he ran the application again and it went through! He said it could take up to 10 days to generate a number, but he'll call her when it does because he gets a notice when they're generated!

Sorry for the previous message, I was numb at the dentist. Anyway, here's hoping that number comes soon! Exclamation mark!

We got the EAD card and went in today and they said it hasnt been ten days and needa to verify. .. what doea this even mean. Card was issued 7/9...

My fiancee first arrived in the US on Feb 1, we were married on Feb 23 and a few days later we went to apply for an SSN. We brought her I-94, Passport and Visa with entry stamp, and our marriage certificate and her birth certificate... and we were denied. The guy didn't really know what to do with the materials and said it would take a week or so before we heard back and when we did it was a letter saying that they couldn't give her a number.

So we decided to wait until we received the EAD, and now we're just about to head back to the office with the card, her passport and just to be sure, our marriage certificate and her birth certificate.

On the application, it asks "Has the person listed in item 1 or anyone acting on his/her behalf ever filed for or received a Social Security number card before?" There's a box for yes, no and 'don't know.' We applied, obviously, but never received the card because she was denied.

Do we put don't know in that box or just no?

Thanks for the help...

Great, just read up about the EAD and TSA. Looks like I'll just book with her Passport and bring the EAD with our marriage certificate just in case. Thanks for the help!

There are checkpoints along the border areas through California to Texas, if they stop you, you'll need to show proof that you're here legally. Just bring your EAD/AP card and that should be fine, but don't drive if you don't have a license.

Hooray, we've been approved for the EAD and AP as of yesterday! My question here is this: we need to travel to Florida from California this coming October. Her EAD/AP card will no doubt have her married name, but her passport will have her maiden name. Should I book the flight using the Passport or the AP for a domestic flight?

I've read that international flights will require the passport to match the ticket, but I'm unsure about domestic.

Thanks for the advice!

Filed in April, received our NOA 1 (for AP and EAD as well) on April 30... can't wait for the EAD! Wife is going stir crazy...

Hi there. Fiancee interviewed on Dec. 16 (this past Monday) and today the CEAC site says "Administrative Processing." She's freaking out about that but I'm thinking it's just a part of the normal process. Am I right? AM I RIGHT? Anyway, I'm giving it until Friday and I hope by then it says "issued" or "ready" or whatever.

Just because one doesn't have middle eastern name doesn't mean they won't get AP, there are many reasons for it.

That might have come off wrong. I meant simply that from everything I've read, one of the reasons is for having ties to the Middle East. I don't think that applies here.
