Just to clarify, neither did we. We submited I94 as proof to the health insurance company and only sent paperwork for AOS to USCIS months later.

I bought health insurance plan individually for 2021 while AOS was pending and they asked for proof of legal status. I94 (or EAD if there is one) is sufficient. A person who has AOS in progress is considered a resident, it’s just that the paperwork is pending while one’s waiting for a green card.

Update So, since Feb 22 submission, I have received an RFE and sent the documents immediately. In June, I got my expedited EAD. Ever since June, I had two different dates by “RFE evidence received” - the above said received in March and the other said received in June. And today, after six months from when they last looked exactly, I received an email from USCIS that my 485 was approved. No interview! I hope things start moving for the February filers!

Either as above poster says or there was an update in your other case. I had the same thing (two dates by my 485) since June, when my EAD was issued.

Which Facebook group is that? Thanks

I've shared a bit on this on p.10 of this thread. First, I called USCIS and got a reference number to open a service request. I was told to wait for an email instructions, but from what I've read on VJ forums, many were denied without USCIS even seeing any proof. (I have never received the email instructions, by the way. Just an update weeks later that the request was submitted and will look into it.) Then, I immediately contacted my local congressman's office by phone. VJ forum posts were very helpful (look for your local congress page > help with a federal agency for further information). They were very responsive and super helpful and were happy to contact USCIS on my behalf. Afterwards, I've sent them a cover letter (template also found here on VJ), signed & scanned privacy release form, and a compilation of USCIS receipts and proofs in one PDF (I think about 12-13 pages that included numbered proof backing up my claims of my cover letter. Things like my income before moving here with currency conversions, salary average statistics with for my industry here in the US, my calculation range of lost income since arrival during the K1 process, proof of me running a business with achievements and credentials, pending client contract offers, and other relevant details. Oh, I also included the fact that DMV won't issue a DL without an EAD in my state with screenshots, and why this is relevant for my business - I've even used screenshots of the geographic area where I live). It took a month but it was very well worth it. So, in total, my EAD approval took 124 days.

Update to my case. 05/27/2022 submitted EAD expedite request through USCIS, and a few days later through Congress 06/21/2022 EAD was approved

Thanks for sharing!

Hi all, Did anyone have this or similar experience? My USCIS updates seem to show two dates. For the longest time, I-458 status said Response received on 30th March. (That’s when we’ve replied to our request for evidence.) Today, I’ve logged in to see the I-458 part updated to June 13th, though the upper bit of the text still shows March date. I have asked to expedite EAD in May, went though congress and submitted documents of job offers, but the EAD section has no updates at all. It is still stuck at application received and as of March 29, “we’ve begun working on your case again”. Just curious… why would AOS update but not EAD.

I did, currently waiting for the update. I called USCIS and got a reference number, but from the lady’s tone and the fact that she googled and read the info from webpage I had little hopes of USCIS actually emailing me instructions on what to fax. Some days later, I called my local Congressman’s office (they were happy to help) and emailed them my privacy release form, letter with over 10 pages of proof. This was last week.

InfoPass works in 2022 (May). I had no luck with technical keywords

What evidence are you using? Better have them all and submit only what is asked for than not have much to show at all.

Thank you! I don't have an interview yet, my case is stuck at ''actively reviewing'' since the end of March, when USCIS acknowledged my RFE evidence. However, I am researching on how to expedite my EAD based on a few freelance offers. Would you mind sharing a bit about your process?

Yes, we have plenty of photographs. Maybe it's because I am European, but having a joint account is very unusual to me. I do believe though that every couple and their financial situation is different so it may not necessarily be considered a red flag. Thanks for the input!

I have a question... I am in a situation where I don't actually have any joint evidence: - No joint phone bills (my UK & Skype rates are much better) - No rent leases or mortgage (husband owns the house) - No joint bank statements (I use his card if needed) - No joint loans or joint investments - No joint income tax returns (he filed separately for 2021 and I didn't have to file at all) - No joint family insurance plan (this is our mistake but it's been a confusing process and we will change that - currently we have two individual insurances, but that is not until 2023, if by any luck, our interview happens before that) I am simply curious... How much of the joint evidence do I actually need? I'll have to get some just for the sake of the interview (I wouldn't otherwise), so I'm assuming it's relatively easy to get my name on one of the electricity bills, but what about other proof? Would it be enough to just come with a bunch of mail/doctor's appointments addressed to me or him to the same house? Thanks!
