No, we appear to have made 0 progress on the EAD. It still says "Case Was Received" from 1/8. We didn't actually apply for AP because we can't afford to fly back to England for a while, and honestly couldn't be bothered to do 1 extra form.

 

Biometrics was on 2/11. Status changed to "Ready to Be Scheduled" on 2/12 and "Interview Scheduled" on 2/19. We still haven't gotten a letter with an interview date.

 

 I don't know how much to read into any of this. There is no reason that ours should get processed this fast. We haven't done anything special, and plenty of people have waited much longer. I guess there's just no logic when it comes to USCIS.

 

OH okay. Well congrats. Wishing you luck

Massachusetts. It's weird, because I thought the Boston office was pretty backed up, but I'm trying not to question the good luck. You?

Do you have your ead ap card yet?

I think you are super ok! The only stuff I did not add was my husband passport and birth certificate because I wasnt sure we needed it (some websites say to add them and another ones dont talk about these documents). I suppose I will get a RFE

Yes they might probably send RFE for those documents. But all will be fine

Longer processing times are part of the journey unfortunately.. it’s always best to see how long the processing time is even before you start the next step.. it’s easily available and can help you mentally prepare for the wait 

Yes you are right. I did not know much about the waiting. Also my partner had an immigration lawyer handle our case and the lawyer said it takes 3 months to get the ead and 4 to 6 months for the green card since I am adjusting from K1. 

But it is all good to know now. So I gotta live my life and enjoy every moment. 

So guys we are all waiting.

My wife's filing date was 4 Sep.  Haven't heard a thing from USCIS. 

That is frustrating. I wish I even get my green card very early so that I can forget about the ead/AP since it is processed at the local office

Did u send 2017 or 2018? Since 2018 wasn’t ready when I filled I sent only 2015/2016/2017. Was it the reason of ref?

I did send  my main sponsor's 2017 tax and a cosponsor's tax return. But they requested a current tax return for my main sponsor and a detailed description of the cosponsor's own. But luckily we send 2018 tax returns and my main sponsor qualify as my sole sponsor

AOS approval is based on your local field office. 

You can find out what that is by inputting your zip code here:

https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices

Tell me what it says and I'll show you how to check your processing times.

 

Category C9 marriage based AOS EAD's and AP's are currently processing at the NBC at a rate of 4 to 6 months with most being approved lately in 5.5 months.

My local office is Boise Field Office, Idaho

hi!
Welcome to the group!
What was RFE for?

My RFE was about my sponsor's current tax returns.

You would consider yourself a January filer as we go by NOA1 receipt date. But that's really irrelevant as you can follow whatever groups you want. 

OH okay

Adjusting status from K1 to a permanent residence. My  AOS application package was received by the USCIS, National Benefits Center, Missouri  on December 31st, 2018 but I don't know whether to consider myself as a December or January filer. 

This is how far my application has got to;

12/312018 Submitted application to USCIS 

1/15/2019 Received Receipts for application from USCIS 

1/18/2019 Received Appointment Notice from USCIS 

1/28/2019 Received RFE notice from USCIS 

2/5/2019 Biometric Appointment done

2/12/2019 USCIS received my RFE reply

Now my status on USCIS is;

USCIS has received my RFE response for form I-485 and with my form I-131 and I-765 is case has been received.

Waiting is frustrating. When do I get approval for EAD/AP? 

 

Now waiting to hear from USCIS.

EAD/AP about 4-6 months from filing. All EAD/AP applications go through the NBC. They're processing the last applications of late August and all of September right now (September filer myself, just got my combo card 2 days ago)

 

For GC, that depends on your local office. You can check the current processing times for your local office via https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/. 

4-6 months for EAD/AP! That is very long wait. Then I will be getting my cambo card around June/July. I hope I don't wait that long. Thank you.

From what visa are you adjusting?

I am adjusting from fiance visa(K1 visa) to a permanent residence. And my filing office is National Benefits Center, Missouri office

Late June or July most likely.  It all depends on which office is working it. 

According to the estimates on the home page here, my wife should already have her combo card.  It's showing past due.  But, on the NBC page for estimates, they're still processing August receipts. 

Thank you for your view. My application is being processed at the Missouri office
