Good evening, All. 
 

I just received my transfer letter today after the status update online last week Wednesday. I find it weird that they transferred my case from the Texas Service Center ( apparently the fastest one currently ) to the NBC. We had an interview for the AOS and have not filed tor the N-400. Is anyone else in the same situation?

Sorry for the delay in replying ! NO I haven't received it yet. Its 7 weeks now, but nothing yet ! I'm frustrated  

I am sorry for you. Unfortunately, there is no official timeline for the expedited process. Hope you hear something soon!

I think this just depends on the field office, not what country you've immigrated from.

It definitely does. We are here in Houston and people are waiting around 2 years. Just ridiculous. We thought the K1 wait was already long...

Sometimes I think it's a hit or miss. There doesn't really seem to be a system. I've been wondering all these months why some cases are much faster than others. I wish they was more transparency. 

I totally agree. I think this entire process needs to be reworked. I’m located In Houston so I probably have to renew my ead twice before actually obtaining the green card.

They were quick at first... called them on a Tuesday to expedite my EAD, got an email requesting evidence 2 days after and faxed everything over immediately. I hope to hear something soon.

Interesting enough. I received my email for evidence immediately after hanging up. That did not even take 1 minute. Hope you will get yours approved soon!

How long did it take them to respond back to you after you faxed the evidence? It's been almost 2 weeks since I submitted my evidence to them (to expedite my EAD) but  haven't heard anything. 

It took them about 2 weeks for me as well. I just received an email exactly one week after submission that they are working on my case and that they would notify me shortly. USCIS is just slow with everything, maybe I was just lucky...

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you. I faxed my docs on April 6th too, but STILL haven't heard since. Did you hear anything yet ? 

Sorry, I didn’t see your message. Yes, I received my ead already on May 1. Have you still not hear back from them?

Oh thats great happy for u . So i should expect my card next week then cuz i recieved an email today saying that my card in production  . 

Thank you! Yes, I would say beginning of next week. Sign up for USPS informed delivery. They will send you a message once they receive the pre-shipment info from Uscis.

Hello there i hope u are doing great did u recieved ur EAD or not yet

My status changed to card in production on 24, then changed to mailed on 27, but was physically shipped on Monday. Received it yesterday 😊 now hoping for them to schedule the interview but that will probably be the longest wait here in Houston.

Wow, me too. Smh. I wonder what the hold up is?

Well, mine just changed that last week from received to case is ready to be scheduled for an interview. So it is nothing special that they don’t update the system.

Thats amazing! Let me know if you get any decision!

 

Wow, awesome! I guess I need to apply too as my contract start in about 50 days.

 

Could You guys tell me what exactly did you fax to immigration as a Proof of expedition?

I actually sent the cover letter, stamped biometrics letter, job offer letter and a letter from the company that supports the expedited processing. 50 days is still way to go but with the current processing times and the time they also need to produce and mail the card, you should definitely consider to ask for it soon. You would require your approval at latest in 30-40 days to still make it on time...

@Ma&Fa, @fatima& abdi - did You guys hear anything about your EAD expedition? Didn’t hear from You recently

Yes, sorry. I just updated my timeline. I did receive the status update for my I765 yesterday that my card is in production. Also, I received my approval status update for my I131 this morning. They have never really given any clear instructions whether the expedited was approved but since it was approved after around 40 days, I guess that’s what it means. I just hope they mail it out soon. Cannot wait to get to work!

We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time

We will notify you when your case status changes. We last took action on your case on April 11, 2018.

I keep receiving this message but no status change on the case tracker. The odd thing is that the date keep changing.

Yesterday I received one saying that they last took action on my case on April 10, this morning I received this one saying that they last took action on my case April 11. No status change though, last update there saying that they received my case.

Is this normal?

---

They send them out every two weeks your case hasn’t been touched on their end. I received the same mails on Sunday and Monday with last touch dates 9/10 April. You probably submitted the I485 and I765. That’s why you receive two. I131 and I765 are one status email for them since it is being worked on together.

Yup. That blog helped me a lot for my k1 visa, too, and the rapid visa page where they included some tips for filing. No RFE and it was smooth and fast  As for AOS, I relied so much at the Visa Harmony website. 

Congratulations! Looking at your timeline, you are really a fast one. For your K1 and for your AOS as well. Besides the fact that you filed in Chicago, is there anything special about your case that it goes that fast?

Some how its good cuz at least you know that they recieved it . What account you mean because i have no one shows that ???

Well, you may be right with that one. You can create an account at https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/logoff.do

and add your case numbers. Under your I765 it should state your service request history at the bottom. 

Just now, fatima& abdi said:

Thats great news happy for you . For me i didn't hear anything yet i submitted my proofs april 11 so when did you submit yours ?? . 

Well, not sure if that’s great news but thank you. I believe this only means that someone has it on his desk. If that’s good or bad - will see! Submitted everything myself last Friday April 6 and Congressman submitted on April 10 their request. What does it say on your account? Does it say service request completed?

Its a loooong tring journy pls you too keep us updated too i fax my evidance today as well i hope i hear from them soon that they accepted my request best of luck to you cuz im realy sick of home 

So I just saw this morning that my request to expedite has been reassigned to an officer this morning. Hope that I will receive an answer soon. Have you received anything from USCIS after you faxed your proof?

Yes! I've gotten my EAD/AP last March. 

Now I'm waiting for any update on my I-485 (interview, hopefully).

So you basically waited another two months after requesting expedited processing? Did they come back to you in regards to the request? What did they say or did they just approve it eventually? Good luck, hope youll get it soon! 

On 1/13/2018 at 9:50 PM, AskerBRfromAZ said:

Any update for you?

I got the same standard responses as you and the OP, but the difference is that my expedite request was made by USCIS while I was on the phone with them (and it showed online a few minutes later). The person said I should receive a letter next week. I'm just not sure what KIND of letter it is, lol. 

Have you ever gotten a response or approval? I faxed all my documents on April 6 but have not heard since. Status shows still completed.

Quick update guys i got email on aril 8 saying that my biometrics review is done whish i had them in april the 3 . Another thing that i wanna mention it could help i called uscis yesterday to expedite my EAD and based on financial lost and pending job offer that i have . Today i recieved email from them saying that they are waiting proofs of job offer letter to fax it  to them to the number in the email which im sending them tomorrow . Just to remind my application was recieved march 6 . I wish the best of luch to all of us cuz we are realy sick of bieng stuck in a house . 

I tried the same. My expedite request based on a job offer was put on hold the first time on March 30 since my biometrics were missing. Walked in for my biometrics on April 3 and tried to expedite again on April 6. Immediately after hanging up the phone with USCIS, I received an email stating that I need to fax more proof. I faxed all the evidence immediately including a letter from company that they support the expedited process. I have not heard anything since. Per case status my service request was still completed on April 6 which was basically after they responded to me that they require more evidence. 

Please keep us updated how your request is going. 

Since this is my first message here, our case was received on March 16 and I am also a fellow K-1 AOS Filer. So sick already of waiting and this is only the beginning. It seems like Houston has one of the worst timelines for AOS....
