The immigration medical is good for 1 year only. I would get it done again and take it with me for the interview. Last thing you want is a RFE because your medical has expired.
I did my medical at this urgent care clinic (Statcare) in Astoria. They charge 129$ for the paperwork. Vaccines/other tests are additional - since you had your paperwork done last year, you should have documentation of the other tests.

Does anyone know if NBC count days in between the RFE reply or they count 75 Days from the reply date for EAD processing??
An Congrates to ppl received their EAD or Interview dates!!
I felt like getting an RFE delayed my EAD. The sooner you respond, the better.
Check this link:
http://www.uscis.gov/forms/tip-sheet-employment-authorization-applications-pending-more-75-days
The 3rd scenario is where we fall into: EAD is based on a pending I-485, so yes, the clock stops when they send out an RFE. Then as soon as they receive our response, the clock restarts.

I received the EAD-AP combo card in the mail yesterday.
Wow, took longer than I expected but I'm happy and thankful that it's here.
It was approved on June 26, received the approval letter on July 2, received online updates regarding the same on July 4, received an online update that the card was mailed on July 10 and received the card on July 16.

I finally got my combo card in the mail! Praise the Lord!
Congrats!
-
Finally got EAD card mailed to me!!! God is good!
Congrats!
I have a question, how do you apply without your employment authorization? Do you get called for an interview and then explain that you are waiting? I would really like to know so I can apply aswel. I was scheduled for an interview already
Yes, you can also show them EAD receipt or interview letter. And if you're willing and they're accepting, you can volunteer (no pay) till you get the EAD.

Hello everyone,
It looks like people who applied in April starting to get their EADs approved.
In my case, I applied I-130, I-485 & I-765 in April 2015.
NOA - 04/28/2015
Biometrics done on 05/21/2015
EAD still pending as of today day 76
I have a job offer starting 7/20 but my EAD hasn't been approved yet. I already pushed my start date back once, so it would be my last chance to work there. My question is, should I expedite my case? or just wait for it? I read somewhere that it could take a long time. I can't figure out which way is better for me..
Any comments would be appreciated!
Thanks
USCIS calculates date starting when they issued a receipt for I-765. The first question I was asked when I called them up was what was the receipt date, they even calculated the number of days it had been. Since your NOA is 04/28/2015, today will be day 71 according to their records.
Will you be able to get a letter from your employer stating that you've been offered a job over there?
To get EAD expedited, you have to fall under one of the criteria mentioned on the USCIS website:
http://www.uscis.gov/forms/expedite-criteria
07/19/2015 will be day 82 for you.
Based on the recent responses by April filers, we received our approval letters between day 80 and day 90.
I've yet to receive the EAD and it has been 6 days after the approval letter.
If I were you, I'd try to get a letter from employer - > If I can -> Then I'd expedite the EAD and also call USCIS after day 76. If I can't get the letter, then I'd just wait it out and probably look for another job. Good luck

Ok guys, I just got an update that my EAD/AP was approved on the 26th June.

Joy fills my heart.
So guys hang in there yours is next.!
Did you receive your EAD/AP card?
-
Pls guyz i have a concern.
My passport expires in a week, will i be able to get ssn once i have my ead? Or do i need a valid passport + ead?
The SS website does not mention that they need a copy of passport, it does mention they need a copy of birth certificate.

After GC so annotation will be removed.
Thank you Nancy

The SSN card that I received when I was working on an F1 visa says: "Valid for work only with DHS authorization."
Do I contact SSA once I receive the EAD or do I contact them after getting GC?

I have a SSN as I was working on student visa. Can I use the same SSN once I receive the EAD card?
-
Received the EAD approval letter in the mail. No status change online.
-
Me too! The letter said my EAD is approved, and I should receive the card soon. ALSO- I received a letter stating my interview date! It's set for July 30th. I'm just so excited to finally have some movement!
The waiting is hard, but it's all so worth it in the end.
Congratulations

Earlier today I posted that I was 'over it' and was just going to wait, well lo and behold, my attorney just told us that the EAD was approved as of 6/23. There was no update online, no letters, no RFE's, nothing. I am just super glad that we are making progress. I am super happy right now! . I guess this entire process is about just being patient. My timeline. Filed 3/30, NOA1 4/6, Bio 4/30, EAD approval 6/23. From our inital file date to EAD approval it was 84 days.
Teeler, at the snail pace that they are processing applications I wouldn't worry too much about it. I know easier said than done as this morning I was fed up with waiting. Rest assured that they will get to your application and that you are still within the timeframe of them processing your application. If my timeline is any indication of how yours will go, you will get your case resolved in the first few days of July. There is not much more to wait. Just be patient and dont trust any of the information ont he USCIS tracker as that thing is not working and hasn't worked properly for many filers.
Good luck on your journey!
That's amazing, congrats.

Still waiting.
Had called earlier USCIS this week and they asked me to call back after the 90-day mark.
I also submitted a case inquiry online - the email I received from them said to wait 3 weeks for a response.So, just waiting and checking the mailbox everyday.
-
I received my EAD today......... :joy: success to all April filers
Congratulations, did you have it expedited?
-
I called USCIS today, the customer service representative told me to call back on Monday if I hadn't heard anything about the EAD by then. I might also submit a case inquiry online on Monday.
-
I received my EAD card today! My online status stayed as case received and did not update until AFTER the card was delivered. I didn't get any of the approve, card in production, etc updates online.
Congrats
-
Any update guyz? I think i am about to be frustrated, today i recieved a 3rd job offer. This people urgently needs me and wants me to start by nextweek friday. Now whats the chances EAD will be out by then? I need a divine accelerated processing right now. They are willing to give me $45/hr. Im just tired and weak. Any April filers got any news? Can someone pls borrow me their ead? I'll give it back(lol).
Still waiting.
Once I reach day 75, do i 'submit a case enquiry' online and then click 'case outside normal processing time for the EAD?
Or is there a number that i have to call?
-
Ok, I'll wait till 75 days and if anything hasn't changed online, I'll give them a call.
-
Online status for I-485 changed:
I-485 case is ready to be scheduled for an interview
-
Hey,
So, it's been about 60 days since I applied. I got a job offer and they're waiting for my EAD to hire me.
Should I get an infopass and attempt to expedite the EAD process? -
I did not send a new packet, i attached the document that they requested.
The cover letter had date, USCIS address, Subject (Re: i-864) at the beginning.Then I listed the document that I was attaching.
Thanked them at the end and signed it off.
I also send the original RFE letter (yellow color paper). I made a copy of everything for my record.PLS how did you respond to the rfe?? did u send a new I-485 packet or just the evidence they asked for?? how does the cover letter look like?
