There are no set USCIS guidelines as to how long it takes to process RFEs. It seems that basically it takes as long it takes. If you through another RFE on top of that, well, it could be anyone's guess. Hopefully, you properly completed the RFEs and you won't be delayed too much. However, realize that AOS processing times without complicating factors like RFEs is still pretty protracted.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

My Lawyer said the EAD is the "fastest" process (I"m not worry about my AOS !!) can you imagine how many opportunities I had lost beacuse of my EAD still pending!

My point is I can be productive and pay taxes which is GOOD for the SYSTEM ...its win win situation

Hi There!

according to my own exp. I had a REF on August and they received what they're requested in the same month.However still my EAD status "Pending" till this moment !!!

but does it really take as long as it would to start from "scratch"? Like 60-90 days?

I don't know but (in my case) its looks like I'm going this direction !! which is funny to me (I know the great work they do and thousands cases waiting in queue but... )

Hi,

long story short.. at the ASC (Application Support Center) arrived earlier and a nice lady gave me a peace of paper and told me to fill up my information. After that they called me to have my Biometric taken (Which are fingerprints and Pass Photo)

The whole process took about 25 min

To be honest excellent services and personnel.

Hi !!

I'll tel my Fingerprints story from A-Z ..tomorrow!!!

So, Stay tuned!!

Anyone with EAD approval from the end of June (2015) still waiting on their EAD card (or even a change in their myUSCIS status)?

My SO was really hoping to get it by now (based on seeing folks receive their cards 1 to 2 weeks after their approvals).

Hi !!

me personally tomorrow I'll do my Fingerprints !!

Good luck for you!!

Hello Fellows,

I have a concern about my situation at the moment. So, I've been driving with my home country's drivers license in the U.S., and I have applied for AOS. However, I'm in the process of getting my california drivers license, and noticed it said, they recognize a valid driver license that is issued by a foreign jurisdiction (country, state, territory) of which the license holder is a resident. So, what am I now, I'm not really a resident in my home country right now, but neither a permanent resident in California??!! Does it mean, I'm actually not supposed to drive anymore? Even though, it would be just legal if I was here on a semester abroad, or as a tourist?

I really appreciate other's opinions!!!

Hi dakobert,!!!

My friend and I were -lately- talked about this situation and the funny weird thing about it, you can rent a decent CAR but when u pulled out the road you get ticket ...My advice is GET that DMV card!!!

good luck

I have a BA in Communications and moved to the US on a K-1 visa pretty much immediately after graduating. I was super anxious about the job search thing because I figured it was going to be difficult finding something without much relevant work or any internship experience.

I got a few interviews for internships even before I received my EAD but had no luck actually getting one. I then signed up for an account on ODesk and found a full-time contract job as a translator the same week I got my Green Card. I was initially excited about the idea of working from home and didn't care about not having benefits since I had health insurance through my husband. Unfortunately he lost his job that same week and things got very difficult because we suddenly had so much less money and had to pay so much for health insurance (it was one third of my salary!). So I had to start searching for something better right away.

A few months later I was contacted by recruiters who wanted to place me with one of the Tech giants in the Silicon Valley because of my language skills. I got a job but never started it because the conditions were actually far worse than what I had with the ODesk job. Little did I know that Google, Apple, et al. are known to exploit new immigrants by hiring them for sh*tty contract jobs with graveyard shifts, low pay, etc. Just because they can. Aren't all of us immigrants desperate to gain work experience in the US somehow?

I felt horrible for turning down a job being in my situation, but eventually I was also proud of myself for not letting anyone exploit me. Half a year after receiving my Green Card I finally got a real job with a company I had always wanted to work for. I get a decent salary, I have full benefits and the job itself is awesome. Funnily enough, this opportunity came up just when I was about to give up on my job search. It had stressed me out so much and I had serious health problems because I couldn't deal with all the pressure, and then BAM!, dream job comes along and it all suddenly seems worth it I was especially glad for all the disastrous interview experiences in the previous months, because as horrible and upsetting as they were, they taught me so much! I wouldn't have gotten my current job if I hadn't done so much research about how to apply for jobs, how to present myself online, how to be a good interviewee, etc. But one thing that was definitely obvious to me from the start is that it really is SO VERY HARD to find work in America (and it's certainly wayyyyy harder than in my home country). Competition is huge and electronic job application filters are ruining everything. The only comfort for me during this time was knowing that it was not just me but that it is difficult for almost everyone. Hang in there, everyone, the right opportunity will pop up eventually!

Nice Nice .....POSITIVE Vibes !!! thumbs up
