Email responded EAD case still under review 11/3

Called customer service Raised 2nd SR for EAD 11/15  (I765 pending 127 days)

 

I am getting really anxious now, i saw lots of people filed at the same time already got their EAD in October. I don't know what's going on. Can someone share some insights? 

 

 

 

It could also have something to do with the area that you are applying. Some areas are a lot busier than others and so it takes longer. Everyone's timelines are different. Good luck

I think you'll be fine. We got married in Feb 2017 and my J1 ended in May 2017 and we filed that same month, although we had been dating since 2014.

Our case move pretty quickly too, just answer everything honestly, no reason to get nervous!

Good luck!

I got approved!

I have my interview on Thursday!!!! I'm so nervous! My husband just keeps telling me that everything will be fine. I just wanted to thank everyone who posted about their interview experience. I will be spending the next couple of days making sure that I have photos etc ready. I'm still worried about what they are going to ask though. I'm worried that we got married so close to the end of my J1 that it will be a red flag for them (I have been here since August 2012, we met January 2016, engaged July 2016, married April 2017, J1 finished July 2017). I'm trying to be hopeful as we applied in July, I got my EAD at the beginning of October, and notice of the interview October 16th, interview is November 16th so it's been pretty quick!!!

My J-1 finishes this month. I got married back in April but didn't apply yet as I was told my J1 would be void and I would have lost my job (have taught here for the last 5 years). I am trying to put the paperwork together now, seeing as the school year has now finished but every time I look at the instructions, there is another form to fill out with more money to spend. I want to have it in the mail tomorrow if possible.
