    What sort of jobs are you applying for? Unless it's something that needs security clearance, or for some other reason will only employ citizens or permanent residents, I'm not sure this is legal. I-9 verification is only done after a job offer is accepted. Before an offer, if asked you should just say "I am authorized to work in the US and do not require sponsorship".

    I was applying to a job with Exxon Mobil. I did tell them that. But we got to the point where they realized it's just an EAD and said they cannot continue to interview me for a US based position without officially having at least the green card

    I am thinking about making an InfoPass appointment with the local USCIS office for my wife's I-765 (based on pending I-845 (previously K-1)). I wonder which kind of information or in other words, how detailed information on case progress can be got with such an appointment?

     

    We submitted I-485/I-765/I-131 and supporting documentation on Oct 11, 2016 (official USCIS receipt date). Got NOA1 (letters) for all three applications two weeks after and had a walk-in biometrics done on Oct 28, 2016 (original biometrics appointment date was Nov 7, 2016). So far no RFEs. I-131 was approved on Jan 4, 2017 (day 85), but no any updates on I-485 or I-765. I felt a bit weird because I saw most people got I-131 and I-765 approved almost on the same day.

     

    I understand that I-485 may take a bit longer but I was told that USCIS has to make a decision on I-765 within 90 days after the official receipt date. Monday (Jan 9, 2017) would hit the 90-day mark but I am not optimistic that we can get any updates. I want to know what's going on on my wife's I-765 and I-485. I read somewhere that occasionally biometrics info collected at local USCIS office got lost, which caused huge delay on I-485/I-765 processing (because USCIS assumed that you just missed the appointment and would not send out REF as a reminder), I felt nervous and want to know if an InfoPass appointment can help me find out if our case has the similar issue.

     

    Thank you very much for your time and help!

    I would wait till January 10 to call them. When I called them before my 90 day mark, they put a request for "approaching 90 days" and I had to do a new, separate request for "passed normal processing time" ... it was like the first one I did never existed. In addition, today is January 9th, an extra day won't hurt. Be optimistic. Mine took 108 days to be approved☹️ Not sure if the holidays delayed them. 

  3. Oh my god my interview is now scheduled!

    I wasn't even checking i-485 these days since I didn't expect anything to come up soon haha.

    But still no news on EAD/AP since October 12.

    I'm sure everyone will get a good news shortly!

    On December 23, 2016, we scheduled you for your interview and mailed you an interview notice for Receipt Number ##. Your interview is on January 31, 2017. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your interview notice by January 22, 2017, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice.
