Hi all, I filed in July 2018 in San Jose, CA. Wondering if there’s anyone else with a PD near mine also in SJ who is waiting for interview? I know someone who filed in June 2018 and his interview was in this past May so I’m a little concerned I haven’t heard anything from them yet. 

Hi, i have finally got mine last friday! This is is San Jose on Sept. 6 😄😄

After more than a year!

Hi, is there anyone who live in San Jose, California but have interview date? It is so frustrating that My NOA1 is July 8 but I still do not get any mail for interview. My case status is Ready for Interview from last August, but I dont see any update from them. It makes me so sick since I need a green card to acquire in-state tuition.

Hi, my local office is in San Jose too, i'm still waiting for my scheduled date. It's been a while and it's really taking so long. July filer here too, got my EAD November.

Hey friends!

Wow it's been awhile visiting this group. I was distracted since i got my EAD and plus i am working for Facebook now i was preoccupied and no reason for me to lurk here and stress myself when will my GC interview is gonna be. I am a July Filer, got my EAD November, i'm just wondering is it normal that i haven't gotten anything about the schedule of my interview. I am from San Jose, are there any filers here from San Jose? How is it going?

Good luck guys! Thanks!

Hello everyone,

is there anybody here a member of a Filipino community or maybe a Filipino group that sometimes do a get together, a party or something like that around the City of Santa Clara or San Jose.. I feel so bad about myself lol, I’ve been here for 6 months now and I still don’t have a friends (aside from my husbands’ friends) and I envy my friend in Oregon they have a Filipino Christmas Party. 

I just got my EAD, so January I will start working I may probably get and find my own friends, but having a Filipino friend is different.

thank you guys!

FOR MALE APPLICANT HERE

i just got my SSN, am i required to register in SOCIAL SELECTIVE SERVICE? or this is only applicable once i got my GC?

just to let you know guys, social selective service is just for male 18-25 years old in case of war "they will send you".

Thanks

So my husband got his combo card yesterday (yay!!!!) and I am wondering when his social security number will come in the mail or do we have to go the office and apply.  I need it so I can add him to join accounts and credit cards and so much other stuff 

Did you find an answer? I also applied for SSN through my EAD Application. And I thought it will come together with EAD and AP. Maybe separate mail, so that we don’t need to go to SSN office.

I just literally checking the USCIS website now to check an update on my case. and guess what?

 

WE GOT APPROVED FOR EAD AND AP!!!  as of November 2 today!!!! yay!!

 

should I receive it next week?

“Card was mailed to me” yay!

I was worried yesterday because the status never says “new card is being produced” at least, now it’s on its way, ❤️❤️

I would think it’s a formality and the card would still be a combo card. How did you get your notice for approval? Email, text, mail? 

Actually, I just constantly check the USCIS website using my receipt number I didn’t notice the email they sent me 3am lol. And I also received approval notice in the mail for AP and EAD.

I received mine one week from approval but it depends on the time of week etc. It will update to 'in production' then 'card picked up by usps' then 'card out for delivery' which is when you'll get a tracking number

Hi, i just got my approval notice today for EAD and AP. i am just curious about my AP it has a separate approval notice and says that they will mail Travel Document separately. does this mean it will be separate to my EAD cARD? i thought it will be on my EAD Card as a combo card. or maybe, the notice they sent me are just for formality?

Thanks

HI! Thank you so much, hoping for it to come maybe Friday next week so that I can proceed on my Mexican Visa interview the next week after that.

Im from San Jose and we have schedule travel in Mexico this december for my husbands family reunion 😭

After seeing the card has been mailed today, we just received both NOA2s through the mail for both the EAD and AP. Combo Card in hand by the end of the week I reckon. 

 

Fingers crossed for everyone else! 

Have you checked the status before says “new card is being produce” when was it?

Had our interview today.  They separated us and asked us similar questions.  However there was no decision made.  How long does it normally take after that?  Officer said she had to do one final review as she does with all her cases, and if it looks ok then we are approved.  The anxiety is killing me

Where in Cali ?

See I am not the only one hoping for a Xmas trip.  My husband sacrificed a lot to be here for me and I would love to be able to tell him he can go see his family and friends for X-Mas.  If you look back on this thread, I was told to suck it up.  Well it looks like I might not have to suck it up and my husband will get his wish.  

Same here, already booked a plane ticket and a hotel to Cabo Mexico for Christmas for my husband’s family reunion.

worst comes to worst I’m not gonna join them for trip if I won’t get the EAD and AP before December.. because I have to apply for a Mexican Visa too, Philippines passport holder needs a visa to go to Mexico 😞 

theres a rule,  if you are holding a US Visa, any type of US Visa, you don’t have to apply for a Mexico Visa, unfortunately, my k1 visa already expired not sure if they’re gonna acknowledge it, better yet I will just apply for a Mexican visa.

Sooo we just got a case status update.  It says our interview was scheduled.  Considering we sent the packet at the end of July and did fingerprints 3 weeks ago, this seems way too fast doesn't it?  It just changed 2 days ago from 'interview ready to be scheduled'.  Could this be a red flag since it is so much faster than normal?

Where are you guys in California?

Looks like we'll have our green card before our EAD. The online status for the I-765/EAD is still on the "we finished your fingerprints" from a couple months ago, but we just finished our AOS interview and the card is in production. Anyone know if the EAD will just be cancelled? I assume we don't need it with a green card correct?

 

Thanks.

Hi sis, where’re you in California.? We filed our AOS July 13; until now still ready to schedule for interview is the status of coir case.

And I think with all these fast offices- once you get GC, your EAD gets dropped. So there's even less people for NBC to process
I was originally thinking xmas for EAD but with the way things have moved since last week, am taking a chance at thanksgiving!!! lol
Of course my estimates shall revise if I see them stall over May 2018 folks so yea

Let's all be positive. the end is near!!!!!!!!!!! 😊

Well, I am really hoping on November for EAD. we have a Mexico trip on December 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

bummer
But at least EAD seems to be picking up. I've been seeing late April folks get it lately.
So we're like 2.5-3 months away! Hang in there-- you can do it.

Oh god, I love hearing that kind of news it’s like giving me orgasm lol. I really hope so!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I believe California is one of the states where u can't get a License w/o GC/EAD
So check the Cal DMV website

I think you can only get a State ID

This is true. There are certain states in US where undocumented immigrants can apply for drivers license, California is one of the sanctuary states. That is AB 60 drivers license.

i tried to apply for that one because I don’t have SSN and EAD and also my i94 is about to expire within 30 days, BUT the manager from DMV told me that it usually take up to 10 months there’s first review on DMV local office and second review on their main office which is in Sacramento.

i was advice to wait for my legal document which is EAD before applying for the regular license, because if I will apply for ab60 which will take up to 10 months and my EAD arrives early I can’t apply for a regular drivers license if I have a pending application for ab60.

California is not a field office
There are like 15 offices in California. Which one are you referring to?
 

Sorry, what I meant “IS IN CALIFORNIA” located in California which is San Jose, and that’s what I checked.

youre definitely right, better rely here on VJ, because what I’m reading here on VJ is based on real people, real experience.

thank you 😊

In Missouri they would give you an ID with the validity of the I-94 for $11. (Been there, decided that it doesn't make sense) With that ID I could go to the DMV and get a dirver's license (been there, the lady suggested in the first place to get an ID then apply for a driver's license), but unfortunately would be valid as long as my I-94..... So to get a DL with one year of validity or longer I need a work permit or green card.... Maybe you are in the same situation

 

 

That’s true, same here in CA it’s just that you are right it doesn’t make any sense AND ALSO, they won’t give you one if the i94 will expire within 30 days.
