Interview was this morning! 

Waited about an hour and a half past appointment time to be called in, the actual interview was only about 15 mins. 

Simple, direct interview, and not unpleasant. 

I was given a paper that says "case needs further review"...but, 20 mins later I got a text that there was an update on my 1-485 "New Card Being Produced" 

And The I-130 updated from "case received" to  "case is being reviewed" does this mean the officer approved my case?? 

Congratulations!!!

On the other hand, most likely you will receive an approval letter for I-130.

Hi guys!

I just wanna come on here on this thread (May 2019 AOS FILERS) to THANK everyone who helped me through this journey.  I am really grateful to every person who answered my questions and those people who shared their experiences. Really Learned A Lot, just by reading people's posts everyday.  Yesterday was my interview and got APPROVED with flying colors, no RFE's.  I can't even begin to describe how happy and still shock I am.  I can't believe I'm done of all these overthinking and worrying shizzzz. 

I'm wishing and praying to all of you who are still waiting that may good news will come your way very SOON!

Here's my tracker:

It’s completely your call, are you vaccinations in date- would you need to get some or some boosters?
From our experience, I had a medical that was in date and still got an RFE to re do it. My personal opinion- it’s been so frustrating, it’s just dragging it all out, so ready for it to be over-at the time I didn’t have my EAD when we got the RFE so that didn’t help the frustration.
Maybe do some research-where is the local doctor do you? Can you get an appointment quickly or have to wait longer? Having your EAD makes it a little easier too. It’s all that is best for you. 

I should keep all those questions when doing my research, thank you so much.🤗

Sounds like an interesting dilemma. I would suggest that you wait until you get your interview appointment letter before scheduling your visit to the civil surgeon. However, it may not be a bad idea to contact a couple of civil surgeons in your area (if available), present your situation, and check to see their availability and getting their exam results before the interview.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Sounds like a good idea to start contacting civil surgeons on my list while waiting for my interview/appointment letter. Thank you 🤗

I waited until I received the interview letter that had the date/time of the interview. The physical takes about 4 business days for the physician to get the results back from the blood and tb tests. May need additional time if some results come back abnormal. They usually send the letter with the interview date/time about 5-6 weeks out.

Awesome! Thank you so much and Congratulations by the way.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! I hope you guys had a good one.

I just wanna crowdsource some honest advices/opinions, whatever you may call it.  My I-485 status just changed today to "Interview was scheduled" after 203 days from the day I filed.  I just got my EAD combo card 30 days ago as well. I haven't done my medical yet because I was waiting to receive a RFE or courtesy letter for it.  Now that I know that my Interview has been scheduled (who knows when 🙄) Should I or not plan to book an appointment now to get my medical done? Should I just wait for a courtesy letter and a RFE??

let me know what you guys think.

thank you

Hi guys!

Just wanna ask anyone from Las Vegas area or Nevada in general.  I just got my combo card and my desired married name is correct and all.  I have my dad's last name as my middle name now and I took my husband's last name as my new last name.

However, when I went to SSA to change my maiden name to my married name, the person said I can't just drop my middle name and change it to my dad's last name. I need to petition it to court and that sort of things.

To site an example:

Birth name:  

   First name: Ann Lorraine

   Middle name: Macariola

   Last name: Medina

Married name: (In combo card and I-797's)

   First name: Ann Lorraine

   Middle name: Medina

   Last name: Smith

So, the guy at the SSA did 

   First name: Ann Lorraine

   Middle name: Macariola

   Last name: Smith

Question:

1. How did you guys fixed all this? Any tips?

Thanks in advance guys!

How can you send an expedited request for EAD?

23 minutes ago, Joey.C said:

Can you do it online?

-Hey,

You can request for an expedite through calling USCIS and for my experience I did it with "Emma" which is like their virtual online assistant in their website.  Just make sure to call them within their normal office hours.  

I advice you to read some articles online about expediting, or even here on VisaJourney there's a lot.  I just can't link any right now as I'm running errands but you can just search it.

Congratulations! Did they ever take your expediting request officially and u received any email asking for supporting documents?

-YES, they did. I received an email that the expedite has been completed.

- NO, they didn't ask me any supporting documents.

Is that Excel sheetshot in the attachment created by you or is there a status u checked somewhere in that format?

 

-The screenshot was mine.  I made my own tracker so I can take notes or something.

Thank you SO MUCH for this 😊 

You'll hear from them pretty soon 🤞

Hi, I just  requested an expedite and wanted to know how many days it took you to see any updates on your case? Since you did the request to them confirming they received it. 

Hey there.  I received an update the very next day that the request has been received and 5 days later they approved it.  I attached my own tracker below if you're interested

Just got an update that our card has been mailed to us!  Will we get a USPS tracking number or is that just for the green card?  Thanks!!

They will send you a tracking number once USPS picked it up.

Not too long ago, I was so desperate, that I requested an expedite through EMMA with no job offer in hand.  Today, I was so shocked because I was expecting an email from them asking for additional information but instead, I got an email saying a "New card is being produced".  I still can't believe my eyes. Is this a glitch? If this is true, I feel like my I-765 application was already on queue for them to adjudicate and my expedite request "poked" their dear hearts to finally gave it to me. 

 

 

Just an update:

I received two approval notice in the mail today for I-765 and I-131, so this is confirmed.

Please keep us updated if you receive the card.  My wife might go this route if they don’t send they don’t send the EAD/AP combo card by November.

I sure will post whenever it arrives.

I hope so , can you please share with me how you expedited your case through Emma , i couldn't figure it out

I think it's best to chat with Emma on their normal office hours because that's what I did since I can't get a hold of an agent over the phone.  I just typed in "I'd like to speak to a representative" and then an agent replied with their name and concealed agent number and assisted me from there on.

That's good , congrats , seems like all May fillers got their Ead , i applied in june

I heard June filers are moving way faster than May. You'll hear from them soon for sure. 👌

Just now, Sifou.kate said:

Oh congrats

Did you send them any evidence?

Thanks! Actually, no I did not send them anything. I just did the request through EMMA and the request was for Severe financial loss.

Same here. My bio was just for I-485. The status changed Sept 25 stating they reused my I-485 fingerprints for EAD.

My status never changed.  I just received a letter. Did you guys received a letter as well?

1 hour ago, Ryanmaria2018 said:

Hey we are from Vegas as well and like you it still says fingerprint was received. My wife did her biometrics on July 11th so really hoping we can get her EAD/P card soon. I'm told late October early November. Take care and hoping all the best for you.

Hi! glad to know one AOS filer from Vegas.  A lot of people received theirs, it's giving me hope that mine is coming too.  Just hang in there, My jealous bum here is stressing about it too.  Good luck to all of us.  Send my regards to your wife 😀

Hi there, new here. 

 

I'm a marriage based I-130, I-131, I-765, I-485 May 2019. All papers filed by immigration lawyer, with my medical exam included. 

 

PD: 28th & 30th of May 2019 - NBC

Receipts: 6-6-19

BIO completed: 6-28-19

 

Radio silence ever since. No updates of any kind, nothing by mail, nothing online...my online accounts still sits at "finger print fee received" "case received". 

 

I have see in forums that most people saw "finger print reviewed" within days of completing Biometrics. And I am worrying about my case, being as that never happened for me. The fact I've had ZERO updates, and as of today, the processing times have jumped backwards again  

 

I'm at day 115 without a word. 

 

Anyone else experienced a lack of updates during the process, yet received the EAD, or interview? 

 

We're pretty much the same. 

NOA1: May 20th

Biometrics: June 24 (walk-in)

Nothing has changed on both sites, still "fingerprint fee was received".  I called last Aug 18, if the biometrics went through and they confirmed it did, and that somebody was working on it.  

I'm in Vegas by the way, where is your state?

Congratulations! Glad the call helped.

 

For the rest of us, the EAD/AP case inquiry receipt date is officially at April now. Let's hope it keeps moving. 🤞

Hey Vans, I was wondering, where can I check that EAD/AP case inquiry receipt?

thanks

Hold on there, girls!

I'm just like you, applied for AOS in late May and still no news on either EAD/AP or GC.

As much as I'm getting excited for other people receiving their papers as much I get upset about no updates on my own case.

I keep making a list of things I'm going to do when its all over.

Certainly first thing I'll do is to fly back home (alone haha) and finally spend time with MY family and party with MY friends instead of my husband's.

I have no idea how other people cope with homesickness. But I can tell you I have never loved my home country more than I do now after I moved to the US)))

 

 

HAHA! you cracked me up! I can totally relate.  I haven't seen my family and friends in 4 years, I'm going crazy.  

NOA1s received May 20th. Status hasn't changed on both sites even after my Biometrics (i-485) last June 24.

Those who got the biometrics appointment, did you receive 2 separate letters for fingerprint, one for I-765 and one for I-485 ? Did you receive one letter that mentions both, or did you just receive a letter mentioning just I-485 or I-765? Please share your experience. 

I only have one for I-485. I walked in June 24.  Will I receive another one for I-765? Should I be alarmed and call USCIS tomorrow?
