My husband’s green card is finally in production!  We had our interview in Sept, his EAD/AP card expired in November and no sign of the renewal card even though we submitted the renewal  in July.  I hope that the rest of you get approved as soon as possible.  Good Luck and God Bless!

Hello Everyone!
 
We had out AOS interview today at the Atlanta USCIS office.  Our appt was for 8 so we arrived at 7:30 and they called us at around 9.  Here’s how it went...the interviewer took our identification,
asked us to swear that we would be truthful then she went through all our application. Questions asked:
 
How did we meet? 
What dates did we go on?
When did we decide to get married?
Have we met each other’s parents?
When did we get married?
Was it at the courthouse or a full on wedding ceremony?
How many guests?
Where does my husband work?
What does he do there?
She asked him what city I was born in and vice vera.
She also asked each of the others date of birth
 
Then she asked if we had updated evidence to submit:  I provided my most recent tax return, 2017 w2 and 2 months of paystubs (to show that my income has not decreased), updated lease agreement, updated car and medical insurance cards and new wedding pictures (we got married at the courthouse last year, but we had a large wedding with friends and family last month).
 
All in all the interview took about 20 mins she said she would recommend approval but we received an RFE for the expired medical, so our case is pending until then, but thankfully they allow us to drop it off at the office rather than having to mail it in to a lockbox. 
 
If your case was  submitted August of 2017 or  earlier I highly suggest getting a new medical so you don’t have any delays.
 
Good luck to you all ❤️

Hey guys congratulations on all the good news coming in - and for all our other colleagues that are waiting I truly don't know what to say anymore apart from just hang in there and keep the faith.  Something great will eventually happen.
I had a job interview this morning - I was worried abut not having the SSN even though I noticed it was already in the mail (thank God for Informed Delivery).  Anyway I went to SSA Office before my interview I requested that they write down my SSN and give to me being that it's needed at my interview.  The young lady who I dealt with was so nice, she wrote it down on a piece of paper and gave it to me.  They requested it at the interview and also the actual card but I wrote the number on their form and explained and told them card is in the mail and I should receive it today.  I even showed them picture of the mail with my SSN Card on Informed Delivery site LOL. It worked, I was able to do the interview, the drug test, and I am scheduled to do the finger print tomorrow afternoon - but i will have to carry the SSN Card to do the finger print.  As of 3.30pm today my Social Security Card is in my possession.  Best of luck to everybody who is waiting to receive their card.

Hey guys. My I-485 status changed directly to New Card Being Produced.  I still can't believe it though.

So our interview was 12/8....we received the NOA of approval on 12/13 (with approval date of 12/8)...then received the physical green card on 12/16. 
 
All done until ROC in 21 months! 

Folks!
First, I would like to say a Big thank you to the King of kings and Lord of lords, for His favor.
I'm dedicating this great news to all August filers on this forum. I would like to use this opportunity to inform you all that My EAD has been approved and the actual card is on its way to my mail box. The approval letter was delivered today, yet the online status is showing "case received" Smh for USCIS
 
Anyways, to all my friends who are still holding and expecting, YOU ARE NEXT! Your good news is coming in the mail as we speak.
I have said it before, everybody's time will come, its only a matter of time. I'm happy but my joy won't be complete until all August filers are settled.
Special shout to this wonderful guys:
@Aviinashh@Texasfiler@T_P@Hamilton@GoodVibesOnly@JackUrban@Canelita@PR&PR@listeague@izavox@adipo21
The list is endless, I think we have enough number to form our own immigration agency. If your handle is not here, please don't be offended, just know that I love you. 
 
Thanks to this forum for standing by one another. I love you all.

Does anyone feel extra angry about junk mail now that we watch our informed delivery status on USPS so closely? No I don't want a discount for your product I have never bought!

Update from Congressman's office
 
"""""Hey Aviinashh,
 
Great news! U.S.C.I.S. has agreed to expedite your EAD petition! This means you will receive a notice shortly on a decision. Once received, it usually takes the actual card 7-10 business days to be delivered. Some employers (I’m unsure about XXXXX) will accept the approval notice as proof of employability.
 
If you have any additional questions or concerns, or if you do not receive the card/decision in a timely manner, please do not hesitate to contact me.
 
Thanks!"""""
 
 
Well, waiting game continues...

I want you all know that I LITERALLY just got off the phone with USCIS and they have shared the tracking number with me for my Combo Card, this is exactly how I am right now;
 

Good morning guys, I finally got some good news - my EAD card was approved, approval notice was sent out yesterday in the mail and my I-485 is now in que for ready to be scheduled for an interview.  It appeared that the Senator's Office enquiry helped. There is still no new updates on my online status, it remains the same.

My husband got his two years ago when his company had him working stateside and his SSN says the same thing  and he didn’t need to get a new one after his EAD was issued.  I think that’s the number you keep until you get your GC and only then will you be allowed to have it issued without the DHS authorization on it.

To my dear friends...I do have some news (good or bad I don't know)
 
Told you that on Tuesday (Nov 21) I did get an e-mail from the local congressman's office that he has submitted an enquiry with USCIS for my EAD. So I guess the following things have started to happen...
 
This morning on the app
the status of my first SR changed to "On November 25, 2017, your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application, referral number SR1-----MSC, was completed."
 
the status of my expedite request changed to "On November 25, 2017, your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application, referral number T1F---MSC, was assigned to an officer for response."
 
Also I have received an e-mail from DHS-USCIS-NBC

"Upon receipt of your request for expeditious processing, your case was reviewed and a determination was made that we need additional information to make a decision regarding your request. Please fax proof of a pending job offer to the following number........"
 
 
 
I've faxed the offer letter and now the wait begins.....Hoping to get reply on monday or tuesday

My husband received his EAD/AP card yesterday, as well as informed delivery works it did not tell us that is was being delivered.  Please check your mail daily there might be a unexpected surprise.  
 
I hope the folks that filed before us see see some activity soon, hopefully you’re on the green card fast track and don’t need the combo card...Best of luck everyone.

He started applying on the 10th, one dat after the tracker app stated that the EAD was approved.  He didn’t feel comfortable saying he was authorized to work until he actually was, he’s a a couple phone screens I think he’ll get something very soon.
