Good Morning everyone...so this morning my case tracker status on my ead/ap changed to approved which im soooooo happy about. I have not yet done my biometrics so im wondering does anyone know what happens from here as in do you get approved and then it changes to card being produced. It says a notice with instructions will be sent out. 

Hi everyone, 
 
Today we just found out our case was updated to show that a new card was being produced. My husband has been waiting anxiously for his EAD for a long time, especially since I was laid off because of the pandemic. And it's his birthday July 10th, so great timing!
I've never posted on VJ before, but I wanted to share the good news and give hope to everyone still waiting. We filed February 5th, the biometrics appt was on March 2nd, and the case update came on July 1st (the website was down, so we didn't see until today). Our case was at the National Benefits Center in conjunction with our i485 (no AP filed). Congratulations to everyone else who has gotten their cards and good luck to everyone else! You guys were right, this really is our month!

I was unable to do mine, it was scheduled for 18th March it was canceled. Still waiting and hope for new appointment. Congratulations once again 

I’m in the same boat with biometrics not completed before the USCIS closure . Now cases are most likely on hold until the offices are open creating even more backlog . Even then there’s no telling when we’ll be hearing anything. I just wish there was an exception where they could’ve just waive the Biometrics appoint or just even open but to only a limited amount of people. 

You'll  be alright the hardest part is over. You just gotta relax. This proposed  EO is doing what it's  intended to do, to divide, disrupt and confuse. This is not the first bad news that has came out. We'll be fine at this stage!

After several months of relaxation without worries about all this stuff im now back scouring the forums about this EO....i hope this wont affect those of us who have already filed for aos and those of us still awaiting our employment authorisation...the inability to work and contribute financially is so so difficult and throw this pandemic and social distancing into the mix..its crazyness. Hopefully it will be released tomorrow and we will know where we stand. Crossing my fingers for all of us ❤

This is exactly what i have been doing. 😂😂😂

I know I’m wasting my time by trying to rationalize an EO before it’s release, thus creating scenarios and trying to rationalize them. Ha! 
 
I still firmly believe it’s aimed at those in the beginning stages of the process. In fact, Canada has done the very same thing  - they just didn’t tweet about it or make a big deal about it. Canada has ceased processing of visas, however they are still processing permanent resident applications.

Haven’t been on here in a while. I filed my K-1 in 2014, AOS in 2015, had a long delay for ROC from 2017 through 2019, and naturalized in 2019 at which point my ROC was adjudicated simultaneously. But when I heard the news tonight the first thing I thought of was all of you in every conceivable stage of the process. I just wanted to drop by and say I’m sorry and that my heart is with you all. None of this is right, and none of this is fair, and you deserve better. The USA has a responsibility to do better. Sending my love to you all wherever you’re at in the world tonight. 

I just do not understand. He says to protect US citizens' jobs. Well I am a US citizen with both a bacherlors and masters degree in the physical sciences and I have not been able to get a job in the US for TWO YEARS!!!! Luckily I was able to find work in New Zealand. It is not legal immigrants taking jobs, it is the hiring practices of the US companies! It is a "who you know" mentality here, not what you know.

Funny that.

Excellent.  You're in legal status now as you wait for your AOS interview.  Some folks are actually having the interview requirement waived apparently.

I’m hoping it won’t effect us because we are already here. I’ve been here since early January so it would definitely be more dangerous if I went home then if I just stayed here?

What about those in the USA already awaiting adjustment of status?

Hang in there.  We are two days behind you on the date and just got our texts last night.  
As Sarge so perfectly states.  Wait 30 business days and THEN freak out.  But not before then.  
(Best 11pm text you will ever get out of the blue though !)

Yes indeed...my husband is pouring me a rather large glass of wine and enjoying telling me he knew everything would be fine lol 😆 

@Samyuktha & @Ads2865 -- so exciting!! Congratulations !
 
We're still waiting on our cheques to be cashed and our text confirmations. Patience is a virtue, right? 😅

Congratulations!!  

Knowing that I should open a beer jajajaja 🥂

I'm wondering what the world record is for rechecking the FedEx timeline just to confirm it was received over and over and over  . 
Uncle Same isn't giving us anything in writing , so we are getting our fix from the FedEx website  

No cheques cashed here, yet! My impatience is getting the better of me 😅

Give it 30 solid WORKING DAYS!
