Did you all get a notification that your response to the RFE was received? Faxed mine in yesterday and nothing yet.

But anyway  i m happy that they working fast now during this pandemia.  

Wow and you didn't expedite? That is extremely fast!

I’m in the same boat as most of you here - applied for my AOS and had my biometrics appointment in March (this got canceled). 
 

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but did we not already submit Biometrics when we applied for our visa? I’m here on an L1 and I could swear they took my fingerprints at the consulate. Are the EAD biometrics different? 
 

My L1 is expiring in October so this delay is really messing everything up! 
 

hope you all stay safe!

Yes, apparently they are a different type of biometrics. Nothing to do but wait for an ASC to open on June 4.

Nooooooo AP and EAD estimate on VJ just went to mid/late July     Okay...I am just hoping for a GC at this point. Just waive the interviews already USCIS people, would ya? K thanks  It's gonna happen. January filers get their GC before July 2020. Praying for/ manifesting it right now. Who's in?

 

 

Lucky you, mine is now September...my receipt date is Jan 30, 2020.

Hello all,

 

has anyone ever expedited their EAD without biometrics on file and still got approved? I am current a nurse working with my F1-OPT which expires in June. I filed for I-485,I-765 and I-131 on 2/28/2020. I got a  mail for biometrics for 3/25/2020 which I couldn’t get done since they were closed. I went ahead and asked for my ead to be expedited because from the look of things, I can’t just sit and wait for them to reopen and give me a new biometrics appointment. My current ead would have expired by then. Anyone in this same situation? 

From what I understand you need to have completed your biometrics to expedite. Sorry, hopefully the ACS open soon. 

I am in the same situation. 

No way to extend OPT EAD

No you can't work in the gap

And no other options but expedite

Not a great situation but it is what it is. See if your current employer can put you on administrative leave while your new EAD is processing.

Do you mind if I ask when did you fax the letter from your employer? Last tuesday (04/13) or this tuesday (04/21)?

4/21

Sorry to hear, if you don't mind me asking.. what evidence did you provide?  

Letter from current employer explaining why it would cause a financial loss to lose me.

I'm sorry to hear that. I think I saw from someone else in this forum that you're allowed to resubmit an expedite request after a certain amount of days. I think the person was denied expedite the first time, resubmitted, and was approved the second time. Maybe you could give that a try? I know some people go through their congressman so maybe resubmitting through their office would be another option.

Yep, I guess I will reach out to our congressperson. 

Just got the notification that mine was denied. Losing my job in a month and my health insurance with it I guess.

Faxed the requested information last Tuesday evening. Still nothing... I felt so good after calling and placing the expedite request, now it's just nerve  wrecking 😣 

Faxed Tuesday morning and nothing for me

Sorry, so confused. My spouse is waiting for her interview outside of u.s and she is married to me( us citizen). If she pass her interview, she is fine to enter in America? Thx

That is my reading of it.

Signed but no details at all.

I'm sorry if I have missed this questions / answer - this is a very fast moving discussion. DO we know when the EO will be made public? I just want to keep away from media until I can see the answer as the news outlets seem to be adding their own take on the situation but I just want the fact, as I am sure we all do. 

 

Matt

Hasn't been announced yet. 

(p.s. hey, I am also from the UK)

I sent an email with a short letter, USCIS notices and the offer letter. I never got the RFE from USCIS

It changed today.

Thanks, I might give that a try.

hey..what's new?

Status changed to 'card being produced' for me

I contacted my congressman on Friday to assist

Wow that was fast. What did you ask your congressman? Did you submit evidence to the congressman also?

1 minute ago, Letspaintcookies said:

 

I have the same updates. Called last Friday, got the email Monday morning and the updates are also from Monday. Faxed everything Tuesday evening. No update about that they received my stuff.

The updates just mean that somebody opened the case, worked on it and completed their part of work on it. 

Maybe you two will get a letter instead of an email. Happened before to others too.

Thank you. Good to know

Just now, IamYourFriend said:

 

yes.

Exactly the same as mine. I hope this does not mean rejection without asking for evidence...

Just now, IamYourFriend said:

I only just called this morning. Day 1!

But you got the "complete" message on your account?

12 minutes ago, IamYourFriend said:

Eeshh. Sucks.

I only submitted on Monday and they said I would hear something by 4/21...so I guess waiting until next week before panicking. 

What has happened on your side?

Hello @beefmaster cc @waitinggame101 any update on your cases? I'm at the same stage also.

Nothing, no update. No request for evidence, just nothing.

Yes I can’t remember if it was another site or here

It was on reddit.

I saw someone got waived from a J1...

Yeah it is. I had this happen to me and was not sure. It means that your expedite is being considered. I waited 5 days with no response, as I was expecting request for evidence by fax. I called them up and all they said it was still being considered. hang in there! I am too

Thank you for the insight.  I am very confused how they can make a decision without supporting evidence but let's see. Let me know how yours turns out, positive or otherwise!
