Seattle office.

I-485/I-130 interview & approval this month! Card is in the mail. 

Filed Dec 2017. Received EAD & AP in April 2018. No word on anything else... just waiting.

You can use the live chat function to ask an agent for the tracking number. 

My case tracker updated to say they'd shipped it with tracking number 'UNKNOWN' the day after I received my card. They then told me it had been delivered 3 weeks after I had it. So, there's a delay once they say it's being produced and the info isn't helpful. The agent on live chat was very quick to help with the tracking number.

Cheers @yeahbuddy, mine was mailed, I'm still waiting for it

Did you file new form i-765 so you got SSN along with combo card? My attorney filed an old form i-765 which did not have a checkbox for SSA request

Yep, it was the newer form so it was all done for me through USCIS.

Combo card received in the mail today along with my SSN. Overall it's been pretty smooth since the 'we are producing your card' update exactly a week ago. Also relieved that my change of address went through OK - had seen some horror stories on this forum of things being sent to the old address.

My online status updated to 'card was mailed' yesterday and I also received the approval notices in the mail.

I just spoke to an USCIS agent on the live chat function to get the tracking number so I can hopefully figure out if they're sending it to my new or old address once it's in the USPS system.

April 25 2018: EAD update: 'we are producing your card and will mail it to you'

 

Received the alert at 5:20 this morning. Is this too early to crack out the wine?! Now let's see if they mail it to my new address or to the old one. 

and an hour ago got the email alerts saying EAD and AP both approved. Such a relief.

My I-765 card is finally being produced! I can't believe it. They didn't mention I-131, the travel authorization. Aren't those two always together in a card?

Congrats! My PD is Dec 18th so hopefully I'll get good news next week!

This is the 3rd time I'll say this: if you are posting something you could get fired for, don't post it. Someone might not want to hire you if you are openly posting pictures of the president in bad situations. 

 

Doubt they're going to give you ####### for voicing your opinion at the Women's March, the US have freedom of speech. 

I get that, and I'm kind of being a ####### on this thread, but the point is it only takes a few small steps before something like attending the women's march is an issue. They could one day list it as political activism that goes against the values of the USA etc etc...

They are not requiring your "privacy".  They may ask to see your histories...and so what?  What does one have to hide?  I have no reason that I would fear the government in looking back at my FaceBook, Skype histories.  They could look all they want.  If it was needed to bring my loved one from another country I would have no problem with it at all.

What if they see I attended the Women's March and then that puts me on a list of potential troublemakers? What if I've posted in support of abortion and that goes against their morals? What if I have an Instagram full of photoshopped pics of Trump getting pissed on and they're not in the mood to laugh that day? Point is, they need to say what exactly they'll be using this info for, and who will be making those judgement calls. 

ETA: Sorry, I just think a criminal background check is good enough, and social media monitoring is already ongoing and managed by other agencies. It doesn't belong in this process, it's too intrusive.

Security of our country is a waste of time?  Really? This isn't about looking for "anti-Trump" posts.  It is about screen for people/organizations which might pose a threat to citizens and residents of the US.

Well, that isn't quite what I said... This is a waste of time for USCIS. 

We also don't yet know where the line would be drawn on anti-Trump posts. Of course I'm looking at a worst case scenario here, but let's be real, it's not too far fetched to imagine being rejected because you've posted some creative profanities alongside a photo of Trump. 

This is too much. Any social media posts that pose any threat to the country should already be monitored. I'd like to know what would be a 'red flag' to them. Anything anti-Trump? Would that be a reason for denial?

And if someone was posting anything 'dangerous', I can't imagine they'd voluntarily give up that username.

Waste of time.

I think they're having some issues with their online systems today. I've been randomly seeing different error messages, including being locked out of my account. All seems fine for me again now.

Congrats! We have an almost identical situation and time line. Did your case status change at all up until today? My wife has done the biometrics but the case status is still sitting at "Received" and last updated 12/22/2017

Same - mine are all last updated 12/22/2017. I'm expecting a long wait until the interview as Seattle seems to take 10-14 months for AOS. Hoping to hear something about the EAD in March tho!

Just the courtesy notice about I-693 and to await further instructions on when to submit. All good!

My appointment letter just arrived in the mail - it's in a couple of weeks. Hopefully yours arrives soon! I think we've had a small delay because of Christmas/New Year.

Received the biometrics appointment letter today....  

Ahh! I'm still waiting. Receipts arrived Dec 26th. Thought maybe the Christmas break had delayed things a bit.

We have a new filtering service installed to block these issues. We installed it last night. Have you seen anything improve?

FYI - I'm having this issue constantly on my iPhone.
