I have no idea but my I 485 just updated to interview scheduled. It looks like they skipping the whole EAD process. My whole green card application has been straightforward.

 

Edit: I mean my wife 

My daughters EAD/AP applications are still case was received even though her AOS was approved. So yeah, seems to be a thing!

Also I changed my AOS to say approved but it still says pending. Wonder if that's due to no interview date. Guess I am stuck with that until ROC lol.

I assume you meant I-485.

Lol, yeah. Baby brain.

I just want to add that both of our status' changed to case was approved today.

This happened to my daughter. Her AOS was approved and we never heard back about EAD/AP.

Both of our I-864 status' changed to approved today! No mention of every scheduling an interview. It's nice to have a little bit of luck!

I requested an expedite of my EAD on 2/8/21 and it just got approved 🙏 I am so happy I could run around my complex shouting. 
We did not have a job offer but used the following reasons:

1- final stage interview at a biotech company that is the biggest supplier of covid tests in the world 

2- financial loss, explaining that we had saved to cover 4 months of expenditure per the processing times upon our arrival but since we got here the processing times have significantly increased and we are now down to zero in terms of savings for basic living costs 

Congratulations!! EAD really makes things much better!

What was the RFE?

Did you submit evaluation for education?

I applied when the I-944 was blocked so I didn't include it. Then I received an RFIE for it.
Of course. For high school, college and university as well as my teacher registration in my country. We put in everything.

You definitely don't need a SSN for healthcare. I have been on my husbands and so has my daughter since we arrived. I'm pregnant and it's been a non-issue.

Did you file your medical with your application? 

No as we did our medicals in Australia.

Yeah I'm a filed Dec 2019/NOA Jan 2020 and they cancelled my interview last April and issued me the green card anyway. Seems like sometimes people get lucky and just get issued. I would expect an interview for ROC in a couple of years.

ROC interview doesn't bother me. Just like this one doesn't bother me. Glad I get my card sooner though. Just weird as I have only seen cases like this when an interview was canceled last year. That isn't the case with me.

Those that got the interview waived received either "New Card Is Being Produced" or "Case Was Approved" update. So IMO it looks like your interview was waived.

 

I did see those but they were all people who had interviews canceled due to COVID and I never had an interview scheduled at all.

Congrats! Under the current rules, be prepared for an ROC interview...

That doesn't bother me. Interview now or interview later it's all the same.  Thanks!

No.

Thank you!

Hi!
I saved up for a house deposit in my home country and I want to move it here from my original bank to my US bank directly as it just seems the easiest way to do it - unless anyone has any better ideas.
Anyway, do I have to pay tax on my own funds? 

Thank you!

They wouldn’t issue from VWP AOS. if adjusting from k1 you’ll see a few have been issued because they’ve at least participated in an interview at some point, hence my asking what she was adjusting from and trying to figure out if she already had EAD 

Sorry I should have said we were K1 and K2.

With USCIS it could either be a glitch or it means they waived your interview. If you get the Green Cards and I-485 approval notices (all separately) then you'll know it's the latter.

I'm hoping it's not a glitch. Both mine and my daughters updated to reflect this but you never know. Guess I will know later on in the week.

Weirder things have happened 😁

If OP was checking the status of the I-485 and it says card is being produced then that's what it is. It doesn't show other applications like EAD under the number for AOS.

 

OP play it cool and wait for the approved or even card was mailed update to get super exited in case it is a glitch but it can be that you got approved without interview. The ways of USCIS are mysterious sometimes 😊

I already have my EAD and it definitely isn't that. It's my I-485 status and my daughters separate I-485 status both are now card is being produced. I'm not trying to get too excited as I assume it's probably a glitch. The only thing that makes me feel slightly positive if both mine and my daughters changed. At least it should be mailed out fast it if it real as my EAD/AP card was.

AOS from what? 
 

it could be your EAD, unlikely to be GC if you haven’t had an interview at any stage 

I already have my EAD card and that's a separate receipt number too!

I just checked my status and my daughters status today. We applied in August, 2020 and sent in our RFIE for I944 in January which is our last update. Never had a ready to schedule interview or an interview scheduled. It skipped straight to RFE received to new card is being produced. I thought this was only for longer applications? Is this a glitch.. I don't want to get excited or anything. I didn't expedite or anything but I am hopeful this is actually happening?

 

Guys. I just noticed my status changed for both my daughters and my AOS and I am confused and don't want to get excited?

I was about to say I had my bio back in Dec but I guess I shouldn't complain, then? 😩

Several Feb bio appointments are getting their EAD cards. I wonder what happened to those from last year. 

Feel free to complain! It sucks!

We had our appointments at the same time and I received my card this month. I have complained to the online chat four times about my daughters and I have had no help. She doesn't really need it as she is three but I wanted the SSN. No movement on our AOS either so it's just frustrating!

Got my Biometric done today, no update yet on the case status yet 

My daughter had her biometrics in October and her status still hasn't changed.

Contacted USCIS and they said that my daughters biometrics were in the system but not updated on her case status and sometimes they just don't do that. Not really reassuring? Her stuff still just says case was received. So, I then asked if we might get separate interviews for AOS as that's what the last USCIS worker said and this one said my  three year old won't even have an interview as she is too young. I asked how she will get approved and they said based on what I submitted for her and myself. Then they went so I couldn't ask anything else but I am worried that if she doesn't get an interview her case status will be in limbo forever and it won't get approved lol. Just like her EAD/AP. So stressful.

Really? So her online status hasn't updated or anything? I don't understand how it takes that long for them to update that in the system but I guess i'm not too surprised anymore by all these delays!

It has not and we did biometrics in September. Hers said case received and now that they have her RFIE but that's it. No mentions of biometrics like mine even though she did the prints and photo too. I had a worker tell me her biometrics weren't linked yet and two tell me they are in the system and to be patient.. Like I don't know what to believe lol. I really want her SSN! Plus I am worried if something is wrong it will hold up our interview?
