Had our interview yesterday and were approved on the spot!

we arrived about 20 minutes early and waited about 40 minutes to be called in.

we then entered the room, he swore us in, asked for ID's passports, I-94s, and the first thing he did was ask for our boys birth certificates, then ge said that it would be silly to ask how we met and all of those questions after having 2 kids together lol, then he asked all the yes/no questions on the forms and asked why we waited 6 years to file for my greencard. he then saw our photos and laughed at some silly ones.... then he said congrats! gave us our receipt and walked us out the door thank u everyone for your help! and good luck to all of you waiting in this process!!!!

waiting for our interview on thursday! nerves are starting to kick in!

Received another email last night, it said the USPS had picked something for me and when I checked it said I should be getting my EAD tomorrow ???

Lucky you! What status are you adjusting from, B1/B2, F1 or what? I am still waiting to hear from them about my EAD or interview. My wife contacted her Congressman's office and they checked on our status from USCIS, on our behalf. Response from USCIS is that my EAD is pending at NBC and timeframe is 3 months.

Got 2 emails from USCIS one saying that my interview is on july 31st and the other one says that my card has been mailed to the adress on file and that I should get it within the next 30 days, anyone knows how long it takes to receive the EAD after getting this email??

Hi All. Any AOS from B1/B2 among April filers, please?

No news is good news right? Called USCIS and they said (or read) exactly whats on the website.... Grrrr

Hi All. Any AOS from B1/B2 among April filers, please?

Got my interview date for July 28 Still nothing on AP or EAD.

I think you are about to get EAD/AP soon. Maybe you can check for others in the same state...the timeline is likely to be the same.

For me, I've checked with applicants in Boston. Their EAD approval date is the same as mine, 1 month plus 6 days exactly from the scheduled biometric date.

It seems like early biometric did not expedite the EAD form my research.

Good Luck

We are in the same boat. I finished biometrics on April 24, and nothing still. So confused. It seems like USCIs in colorado slows down extremely, before people got EAD/AP much faster. Do you know what is about your state? how long does it usualy takes?

Im so anxious! Everyone is getting updates and im just here eating my nails!!! Grrrr but glad everyones case is moving!

Congrats to both of u!! I still havent heard anything from USCIS since the biometrics on may 13th... Im going crazy!!!!

Anyone with interview dates?

Nothing on the work permit either ugh....

So, I received an update on the i485 on the 19th about going to testing and interview, no updates since then, but I checked online and it says the case was last "touched" on the 29th (yesterday) but no emails or anything... Could that mean we got an interview date already? Or what could it mean?

I am desperately waiting for something in the mail, got the biometrics done and my status changed to testing & interview but nothing on the work permit yet ugh how long will it take!!! I need to stat working asap

Being in Phoenix, I'd wager that your local USCIS office is MUCH busier than ours. Hopefully yours will go quickly, but I have a feeling that we got lucky that our office isn't busy at all right now.

I'm sure some local offices are different than others, but all we did was show our letter and ID's to get through security, Then the guy who was working in the biometrics office came out and double checked ID and the appointment letter, gave my wife a form to fill out. After we finished, he came and collected the form, took her inside and they did the biometrics and were back out a few minutes later. So, we didn't need anything extra when we went.

Status changed to "TESTING AND INTERVIEW" for the aos.. Hopefully getting an actual date/time will be quick too!

Thank you. We are in Anchorage so that is our local office. I was kind of surprised when we went to our biometrics appointment and found nobody else was there. I assumed there'd be a few other people getting the same thing or being there for other immigration business. I'm assuming our local office must currently not be very busy.

We are feeling rather lucky in our journey. We went in for our biometrics last Monday...May 12, and we were in and out in 10 minutes. There was nobody in line at security, and there was absolutely NOBODY waiting in the waiting area for biometrics at all. When we went through this, we were hopeful that since our local office didn't seem busy at all, that we'd get the interview, because it's generally faster. We were hoping that maybe we'd get the interview in July sometime, but weren't holding our breath over it.

I continued by daily quick status check to see if it had changed at all after biometrics, but it hadn't all week, so we were very surprised to see a letter in the mail on Saturday (mailed May 15) stating that our interview was scheduled for June 5. They said for both of us to come and to bring all the documents we have supporting our case, such as bank records and other items showing our co-mingling of finances. We were very surprised, but happily so.

Of course we went to check the status and even as of now (May 19) it still shows the same status it has since they first received our file.

I havent seen any changes in my case either and I got my bio done on the 13th so this gives me hopes lol

Thanks and good luck fellow filers!

Biometrics done... Now the waiting game starts again....

Has anyone that had their biometrics earlier this month heard anything from the interview date?

I got my noa1 on thursday too but no biometrics appointment letter yet

Did you get your biometiced by mail?

Got my biometricd notice today! Woot woot! *happy dance*

Appointment set for may 13th, I think I will hold on to my appointment as I live some distance away from the USCIS office

Checked online and it still shows my case is in acceptance so I guess I cant count on the website to find out about updates...
