Giovanna Samaha

I renewed my driver's license with my NOA1.
If she has a ssn, proof of residence, NOA1 and passport, she should be able to get it.
Good luck! 

Hi everyone,
 
My USCIS field office is also SLC and I had my interview today. I applied in March 19 and on June 6 I got a notice saying that my interview was ready to be schedule. I also applied from a student visa (so it's a little different than everyone here). I got my EAD (didn't apply for parole/travel permit in March), on September. But since I wanted to travel next year and the process is taking so long, I also applied for the advance parole/travel permit on August 6. Last week of November i got a letter with my interview date (today 12/11). I only had a week and a half to prepare everything, but it was plenty of time. I went to the interview today and it took about 30 minutes. The officer was nice. Asked us to swear to tell the whole truth, took a picture and got my fingerprints. Explained how the interview was going to be and started going over the form i-485... he asked EVERYTHING that was in that form and made me sign at the end. After that he asked how we meet, how we got engaged and when he met my parents. Then we went through the documents I took (TONS OF DOCS) and kept just the ones I DIDN'T submit with my package (example: the new car we leased, our renewed apartment contract, most recent pictures, etc). Then he said I was going to receive a decision soon and he finalized explaining how to apply for the citizenship. 
 
Tips: if the officer asks you to tell "how you met", tell him everything with the most details you remember. DON'T summarize the story.
DON'T reschedule your interview date. It's just gonna take much longer and it's never a good idea to reschedule anything with immigration.

I filled March 19 and today I got an email saying that my EAD is being produced, finally!! And on USCIS processing time, shows that they are working on March already  so everyone should get their EAD in September! Yayyyy!

Hi, 
 
Thought I was the only one from Boston. I feel it is taking forever in here. I have a friend who field in February and she has not gotten anything. 
 
My timeline is:
 
03-23-2018: Filed status change, EAD, and AP
04-03-2018: NOA1 
04-27-2018: Biometrics Appointment 
 
Since then I just got in July 24 an update that my finger prints were processed. 
 
Please let me know your timeline. 
 
This is killing me!!
 

probably 10 min. nope! Those were the only question at all. We can believe how lucky we got!
yes, thank you. Bur I'll be fine only when receive the card of course!

Did anyone notice that the processing time for EAD (i-765) at the National Benefits Center (NBC) was January 12, 2018 two days ago and now it's December 31, 2017? I wonder if this will delay even more our EAD and AP
