never send original documents, only send a copy and bring it with you at the day of the interview 

Banks need proof as to the identity of the person opening an account. Usually a drivers license is good enough. Just because your passport expired should not have led to a rejection. It is still proof of identity. I would try another bank or even better, a credit union.
 

Woohoo! Finally got my text and email NOAs. My husband was very unhappy about my phone ringing over and over again in the middle of the night (i can't mute it because of my work), but I couldn't be happier. They received my case on 28th. Thers nothing mentioned about my request to expedite EAD. I'll wait for the NOA in the mail and if there's still nothing I'll call them. Wish me good luck! And to everybody who's still waiting- stay strong! I know you're tried of reading it over and over, but my application got rejected the first time, and now it's finally moving forward. 

They finally cashed my checks!!! What a relief! I was afraid they will reject it again. I didn't get any notifications yet, but at least I know they accepted the paperwork and started working on it! Good luck to everybody that's waiting, I know how agonizing it is. 

You guys crack me up! xD

You guys crack me up! xD

My husband received 3 text messages at midnight acknowledging receipt of our package. We sent our package on 3/25 and it was received on 3/28. I'm so excited for this update!

So bored today n was trying to trim my hair myself now I'm bald-headed 😐

I haven't had the same A# all the time I was working in the US, but I still got the EADs I was supposed to get based on whichever visa I was on.
 
I wouldn't worry about it.

Time to get the tinfoil hats out!!! Lol.
 
Doing that wouldn't only be extremely inefficient, but also totally unorganized and silly. 
 
I understand that the wait times are a huge pain, but we all know that there is a big backlog in Chicago. People from December are still waiting for their EAD's. And don't start comparing one case to another. Everyone knows that it's not a first come first served base that USCIS works by. 
 
To those waiting for their NOA's and have been waiting for about 3 weeks. I highly suggest taking your mind off of VJ for a week. It'll work wonders not going crazy over something you have no control over anyway. Mail barely ever gets lost so don't freak out.

Yea you are right 
.If you are using the 02/27/17 edition of Form I-130 to file for your spouse, you must also submit a Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary.If you are using the 12/23/16 edition of Form I-130 to file for your spouse, you must also submit two Form G-325A, Biographic Information: one for you and one for your spouse.  Do not submit Form G-325.Please read our Lockbox Filing Tips...
This is what I got from Uscis.Gov
I used the new one and summitted 2xg-325 lol

The old I-130 form is still valid until the 28th of this month. All the filing information are on the same page where you download the form

New week, new hopes that everyone gets what they're waiting for! 
 
Beat of of luck to all of us and I hope you all have a great week.

My driver license has my maiden name too, but my biometrics notice has my married name. I just brought a marriage license and it was fine - after explaining to the receptionist that I am not my husband...
 
 
Did you send another proof of his citizenship, like a copy of every page on his passport? That should work as a substitute.

Today I received my biometric appointment, thank you lord. I know the waiting is so stressful, thank God I got over it...after the file rejected for incorrect fee then sending it back and now finally got my biometric appointment.

Hey guys, I have been reading everyones post, 
 
I think we will get a RFIE too. We did not send in a G325A or the new form I-130A(?) filled in by my husband, so that sucks. I hope it doesnt delay to much.
 
Also I hear people say that they need 6 photographs. That is not true, I did quite some research on it, and 4 is enough. A friend of me got accepted with just 4 photographs. 2 for EAD and 2 for GC. The AP is a combo card, so they will use the ones u send in. 
 
Pretty bumped now tho with this extra delay, I thought I did all my research. It was not in the AOS guide at least.
 
 
 
One more thing, I tried looking the case status up and it does not find it. Is that normal? And mine starts with MSC, which one is that? Or is all the AOS with the same thing?

You won't be out status since you have already applied for AOS via marriage to a US Citizen .

Hello folks, hope all is well with us. Quick update, I had my biometrics today, arrived by 9.27am for a 10am appointment at Riverside CA and by 10.15am was done. Good luck to you all. And thanks so much for all your encouragement so far. Thanks so much, it is my fervent prayers and wish that all of us will smile in the end of this tedious seemingly endless journey...lol

I didn't receive any emails or texts, even though I too filled out the 1145 form. My husband got all emails and texts. I don't think USCIS cares that much about this aspect of our application.
 
If you create an account on USCIS.gov, you can get notifications for the various case numbers you received. Just keep in mind it sometimes takes a couple weeks before you can start tracking.

Finally after 22 days of waiting, we received all the 3 notices in the mail today!  We give God all the glory!  We never got email notifications.  For those still waiting for their notices, my prayers are with you and all the best.  Now waiting for the biometrics appointment letter.

IDK what work permit you had before, but do you know if this applies to you:
 
https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/automatic-employment-authorization-document-ead-extension

Ohhh!!! It is different from RFE but all the same take it easy and re-gather your documents and it's supporting documents so as to send out immediately the mails arrive. Have someone else help you double check. It is good it comes now than when you have spent months waiting for useful response. Stay positive and good luck.
You did well sending them out immediately and that it came this early rather than months after you send your package. 
On the other hand I don't really know the criteria the use in expediting cases but let's hope and pray it goes through pretty soon and good. Don't panic, be strong and positive. Good luck.
Wow!!! Congratulations and wish you best of luck as the wait continues. 
It sure will go well my friend. Hang in there and be strong and positive. Good luck as we wait for good news on your case.

I could have saved you and myself some time by googling, but no. I didn't know any better. I don't learn  
 
Probably won't apply to me.
 
Thank you for responding.
