I assume you mean March 2020, not 2019? What visa category?
Yes. It was March 2020. It is immigrant VISA - E21 category

Hi all,
A friend of mine received his VISA stamping after consular processing last March 2019. However, due to pandemic travels were restricted and they could not come here before the VISA expired. Now the embassy is open. They are trying to contact the consulate division and no response. They contacted the NVC and they passed the ball to the embassy. They have been trying to reach out to the consular division for the last 6 months. No response. Has anyone faced this situation? What was your next step? Any help is highly appreciated.
Consulate - Colombo Sri Lanka
Thank you!

Oh wow, Shan! I just double checked in a panic, and we are still waiting for an interview. Did you call and figure out what is going on?
Finally tier 2 called back and confirmed it is an error from their end. However, my status is still the same.

Had some updates recently regarding my EAD & AP so thought I'd share in case it helps anyone
1/5/21 Biometrics appointment
1/19/21 Received job offer so submitted expedite request based on financial loss through the Emma online chat on USCIS.com
1/27/21 Received email from USCIS requesting evidence
1/28/21 Faxed evidence to USCIS. Included:
- Cover letter quickly summarizing my situation and listing out the evidence I was providing
- Print out of the email USCIS sent me
- New Job offer letter
- Letter from July confirming my previous company was closing due to covid (This company also sponsored my visa so I've been unauthorized to work since)
- Savings statement showing withdrawals over the past 6 months to cover living costs
- Summary of medical insurance payments for the past 6 months (which would normally be covered by employer)
2/2/21 i-765 Status changed to Request For Additional Information Received
2/2/21 i-765 (EAD) Status changed to New Card Is Being Produced
2/3/21 i-765 (EAD) and i-131 (AP) Statuses changed to Case Was Approved
So grateful to finally see some movement after being unable to work since July, wishing everyone else luck.
Questions:
1) Has anyone else seen their EAD/AP status change from New Card Being Produced to Case was Approved? I would have though it would have been the be the other way around?
2) For anyone that has been lucky enough to receive their combo card already, how long did you have to wait after "case was approved" to actually receive your card?
Congratz on your progress!
Once the case approved this is the sequence of status updates you will see
1. New card is being Produced
2. Case was approved
3. Card was mailed to me
4. Card was picked up by the united states postal service
5. Card was delivered to me by the post office
Normally, case should go through these status changes every consecutive day, expect for 4th and 5th steps. You should get your card within a week. Good luck with your new job!

Hey @SusnOwen did you get any updates regarding the interview.
Today all of a sudden I got this update
I never got an interview notification nor my case was on "ready to schedule an interview" stage. I heard another friend of mine from CT also got this this morning. I am sure it was a mistake from their side. Hope they resolve it sooner.

I hope it does something for you, too! My PD is June 18 and I submitted an inquiry. I also asked my congress to help. So we will see what happens
Did you get an email confirmation regarding this? I never did.
I got a email confirmation from USCIS on the same day. Also I see the inquiry on my egov account.

Just found out that the I-131 form now qualifies for a "Case outside normal processing times" inquiry so I submitted an inquiry and hopefully this does something for the EAD as well. At this point I am hoping for the combo card or the green card. I am still patient and keeping positive and hope things will move a bit quicker with the new Administration.
I hope it will work for your.
Since my receipt date is June 19th. I couldn’t do it today. Have to do tomorrow. Hope it will trigger something

No updates on EAD or AP yet but AoS changed to "Ready to schedule an interview". I guess it's a generic message. How about yours ?
Thank You.
thank you
No updates on EAD/AP. The case was transferred to FO last November, after that radio silence. I am just raising SR and waiting for an update.
Mine is not in the "Ready to schedule an interview" stage....so I am guessing it's going to be a long journey for me

Quick Update Guys;
I had my interview today.
It went well and we were called in together and the gentleman asked my wife how we met and our address.
Then he asked me when i came to the country and if i work and then the Yes/No questions.
He handed us the Recommended for Approval Letter and after a couple of hours my status changed to "New Card Is Been Produced"
We are so happy after 8 months we are finally get the 2 yr conditional residence (Until 1 yr and 9 months from now :).
Good luck to you guys and who ever is waiting that day will come until then enjoy life with your loved ones and have fun as much as you can.
its sucks but what can you do. keep up the faith.
Cheers.
Great! Congratz

For anyone who's service center is the NBC, have you received your EAD/AP yet? My PD is June 18 and had my bios done on Aug 20th. I'm still waiting for any word about some forward progression with my case.
My RD is June 19th. Still waiting for EAD/AP. However my I485 is transferred to local FO in Mid Nov. EAD/AP still processing at NBC. Bio done on Aug 5th.

I read that others had done the same .. so I did too. Figured it can only increase chance of approval.
I expedited by talking to L1 rep
So your status never got update to say if either your or congressman requests were approved or denied right?
Who is L1 officer? Same as T1?Also, can you please let me know what evidence you provided to expedite AP. Thanks!

Hi All,

Nov 17 Biometrics taken and applied to I-485 & I-765
Nov 19 Applied for EAD expedite
Nov 20 Expedite evidence requested
Nov 23 Applied for AP expedite (not sure if this was necessary - but didn't want to leave it to chance)
Nov 24 Expedite evidence faxed (cover letter mentioning both EAD & AP, employment offer)
Nov 30 Congressman sent expedite request on my behalf (with same letter and emp offer)
Dec 03 EAD approved
Dec 11 Combo card received (via Priority Mail with tracking - Note: The letter did not appear on my Informed Delivery daily digest)Wishing every one speedy processing!
Congrats! I am wondering why did you seek congressman help? Did the SR you raised get rejected?

Mine was similar. Last week was April 2021 and yesterday said "Any day now!" Though I haven't had biometrics yet....so, 🤷♀️
Great! So it is not a mistake, USCIS has officially started June filers.
I have seen that USCIS approves EAD before Biometrics, however they don’t ship the combo card until you finish biometrics

Excellent, Shan! No, we are still waiting to be scheduled for the interview. On the positive side, my Husband has gotten a job, so he's much happier feeling productive Where did you hear your case was transferred to Hartford?
EMMA live chat.
That’s good. Congrats your husband and good luck to us 😀

Once you use you EAD pending your adjustment for a green card, your H1B status ends and her H4 ends. If she continues to work without her EAD pending adjustment, then she is violating the law. Not a good idea.
Thanks. She is not working. In that case will there be an issue?

Hey all,
I have received my EAD (pending GC), but my wife’s EAD and GC are pending. Currently I am on H1B and she is on H4. If I use EAD for a new job, my H1B/her H4 will get cancelled. Will it be okay for her? Will she go out of status since her GC is not approved yet?
thanks for your help!

AP is valid for multiple uses = What you are going to have to research is the regulations in the country in Europe you want to visit. He may need a visa for that country.
Hi Susan, Any progress on your case?
I heard my case was transferred to Hartford FO mid November, now it a wait!!!
Is Supplement J needed for EB2-NIW applicants?
in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Posted
I ended up submitting the supplement J. I used current job information for the job offer part. Some fields were left blank. However, it accompanied a cover letter, stating it is not needed for my application. All went well.
This was the guidance I got when I called level 2 agents.
Hope this helps! Good luck
