Nothing for me either. It will be a month since bio for me. I think it's a combination of data renewals and holiday season, so they are a bit overloaded. I was hoping to process my case before the holiday season sets in, but I guess nothing won't happen until the new year. Let the wait continue............

I gave up the idea of starting work this year but still hoping that I will get the EAD before the holidays so I can change my name on my SSC and get my CA driver license.

I have so many things to do once I get my EAD and now I have all the time in the world but no EAD. It's so frustrating! I feel like they should rly try harder to speed up this process!

I had my biometrics done 3 weeks ago and no updates to my cases ever since. I've changed the last 2 digits of my case receipt number when on my uscis to check the status of previous cases to estimate when they will be processing my case. Approx 2 weeks ago the last processed case was 38 and now the last processed one was 39. So it looks like it's taking quite a while to process one case. Would it be because everybody with the diversity visa is getting processed as of 1 October too? It seems to go slower than for people who applied before the end of September.

Ok guys, here's an update that might be of interest to people who have not send a medical exam form.. i guess that might be only myself

As a reminder I did not send it because I wanted to get the process started and do the medical while the application is pending (in other words put myself in the queue for EAD as soon as possible )

Anyways, I was checking the mail and I saw a USCIS envelope with a yellow paper in it (which looks like ANOTHER RFE) so I almost had a heart attack

I opened the envelope almost ready to die and then I saw that it just says that it's for the medical exam which I expected and it's ok but they are not even asking for it! Here's what they say:

"An initial review of evidence submitted with your Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status determined that Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, has not been submitted or has been submitted and is not sufficient for the following reason(s):

[x] A completed and signed I-693 was not submitted; or all pages of Form I-693 are not present or of the same revision date.

You will be required to submit a valid completed and signed Form I-693 at a later date. If you receive an interview notice in the mail, you will be required to bring your updated Form I-693 to your interview. In the even that you are not required to attend an interview, you will be issued a Request for Evidence requiring you to submit an updated Form I-93.

I'M SO GLAD THIS IS NOT AN RFE The yellow page just scares the heck out of me!

Thanks so much for sharing this! I was wondering about the same thing! I have completed my I-693 after I've sent in my application since I was planning to show it at the interview. Glad to hear it works!

Called NBC today for an expedite EAD so I can start tutoring foreign languages asap. Hopefully I'll hear from them in 5 days. They did say it can take up to 30 days for them to reply but their target is to reply in 5.

Hi guys! So it's been a couple days more than a week since I had my biometrics on 10/22 and yet no change in my EAD status! I just wish I could work for the USCIS once I have my EAD to understand what's going on there! Seems like a fun job to me, helping people out!

Oh and how about the I-94 after you had your biometrics on your new married name? Does it also state your new married name at some point? Cos then maybe I can at least I can change the name on my SSN before the EAD! Looks like that one will take forever!

Just got my I-693 filled in! In San Diego I recommend Dr Hussain Ali Ronaghy. For $35 he filled in my vaccinations.

Wondering when they'll request it: as RFE or to bring it with at the interview! Looking forward for my case status to change! Noticed it usually changes one week after the biometrics so hopefully mine will change tomorrow or the day after!

Hi guys! Going tomorrow to the civil surgeon Dr Hussain Ali Ronaghy for my I-693 and was wondering one thing: my vaccination records are all on my maiden name, but since I filed my application on my new married name, I have filed in my married name on the form. I will bring my marriage certificate along. It should be fine right?

Thanks for the prompt replies guys! I understand now! I'll wait for the RFEs! After reading few threads I'm starting to believe I'll get RFEs for all my applications! But maybe it's just me! Can't wait for the status of the cases to change!

Hi! I was wondering when you get a RFE do you need to send the required evidence to the sane address as the application? The chicago lockbox? Or is it already at a local uscis office your application? Is it the office where you have your biometrics? I wanna sent in some more evidence of joint accounts and such in order to hopefully get an interview waiver. Thank you so much!

Successful walk in biometrics today at the Chula Vista office! I went in at around 1.30 pm and was out in 15 minutes!!! I think I just had the wrong attitude the first time I tried the early walk in this Monday! Today I just kindly asked him if there is any time at all before next week when he could fit me in. And he agreed on the spot. It was totally my fault the first time around! So walk ins at Chula Vista are possible to!

IRIScv you asked about the documents on the letter, here you go

Sorry about the size by the way.. I had to make it smaller to fit the max upload size on here..

Thanks so much for the interview letter! It helps a lot!

Maybe he wasn't in a good mood lol! If some people have had successful early walk-ins before, you should definitely try again. Hopefully it's not the same person tomorrow!! Good luck

Thank you! Can't wait to try it again and get it over with! Thinking of applying for expedite EAD if everything goes smoothly!

He made it seem like they don't accept walk-ins. He said: "What would happen if everybody would come in whenever they want? That's why you have an appointment letter!" But then there were 2 successful early walk ins at this office in Chula Vista. So I'm rly hoping to get another person tomorrow that'll let me in.

There didn't seem to be too many people. There were 3 (seemed separate) waiting areas in the Suite for the fingerprints though. Not sure what each one was for.

I tried one today and didn't work. I'll keep trying!

My early walk in at Chula VIsta office was not successful ((((((( I'll really just go there every day until my appointment.

here's the link!

Early walk in just means showing there before the date so you don't need to change it.

take your letter, documentation and go early. If they admit it it will be better to be there when they open so there is no people.

There is a link here in the forum where people mention what offices are walk-in friendly and what offices don't allow it. You can check it for your area

Good luck and congrats!! I think they open at 8 if I'm not wrong or at least the one in Atlanta I went at 9 and had no problem here

Thanks a lot! I found an earlier post for the early walk in at the chula vista office! It's from 2009 but hopefully it's still the same!!! There it said they open at 8 so I'll be there at 7.15 or so!!!! Can't wait!!!!!

Just received my biometrics appointment as well!!!! So excited!!! I will attempt early walk in on Monday!!!!! Appointment is for 10/29. Hopefully I can get it done on Monday!!!!! Do you guys know what time it opens? I'll be there first thing in the morning!!!!!! Can't wait!!!

Hi guys! I've just moved to san Diego and looking to get a good deal on a car. As the process of moving to a new country like the us on fiancee visa it's quite costly as many of u for sure know I am on a tight budget. Thus I was thinking to check out this government auction in norwalk. However I've never done this before so wondering how it works. Anybody has experience with that? Couldn't find any indication of price for this kind of auction either.

If anybody knows about this and you could please share your experience it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Just checked the status of my case: I-485 is still in acceptance step, while I-131 and I-765 are already in initial review. Is this normal to take longer for the AOS? Or should I be worried?

Just got my NOA1 texts and emails today!!! All 3 cases: AOS, EAD, AP were accepted!!! Looking forward to getting the letters next week!

Congratulations!

Just to give you guys an update regarding tax refund from form P85, I got my taxes back in about 6 weeks after I sent in the forms.
