Have the same problem with my name change (for now close to two months) and then DMV as well. Social security office is completely useless and claims there is nothing they can do so now I am stuck in this limbo where DMV won’t issue a license in my maiden name and waits for my married name social security card and SSA is waiting for DHS to “click a button”. Extremely frustrating 😡

I also had a delay on the MyUSCIS website, I received 3 emails and for more than a day it didn’t reflect changes, then my I-485 changed to “Case Approved”. Today my AP status changed to “Case Was Terminated”. I’m not sure how USCIS is sending notifications and not updating the website records… but you’ll probably see yours soon.

My green card arrived yesterday! So happy to be able to start being a bit more independent again. Wishing everyone that their cases will move quickly as well

My case changed to "Card Was Produced" today! Hopefully I'll receive the card next Monday and will be able to take a 2 year vacation from immigration haha. Let me know how your case goes!

Nice to see they move it from approved to card produced quite quickly! So far I only got two additional emails that there have been action taken on my case which hasn’t actually showed up in the account but guessing it was the termination of AP and EAD

Did biometrics in Philadelphia today. Came 40 minutes early and happy I did since there was a lot of people waiting already. The biometrics went smooth though and my status has already changed to being actively reviewed. Hoping for a speedy process! 

Finally received my NOA’s and bio appointment in the mail today. Hoping for the ultra speed approval on EAD after biometrics, keeping our fingers crossed.

I read on the SSN website that you had to have your EAD or a written reason for a SSN. Should we apply for it or wait for it to come with the EAD

I applied two weeks after arrival prior to marriage. All they needed was my I-94 and my passport. After that it arrived in about 5 days with no problems. Definitely recommend getting it sooner than later because it truly helps with a lot of things (at least that was my case)

That's good news!!!! I didn't know that.

Do you know how I can file to expedite the process?

From what I saw in the November 2022 filers group people have been requesting through Emma on the USCIS website

Hi @Fil&Em, thank you so much for your detailed reply. 

I 100% agree that it's probably the best to apply for it with AOS. 

My future employer was pushing me to get the work authorization ASAP so I wanted to see what would be the efficient way of going about it. 

 

It was super helpful& thank you!

 

If you have a job offer from a future employer that is a solid ground for an EAD expedite which would make the wait significantly slower (in most cases that is)

Adding ourselves to the mix here

Sent our I-485,I-864, I-131 and I-765 via FedEx on Dec 14.

Delivered to Elgin, IL on Dec 16 and now to wait for the text messages and NOA to come

We’re now in transit! NOA2 was June 13. Hope everyone else is going to be in transit as well soon. This journey was difficult but we’re close to the end. Hang tight! 

As someone who is currently going through the K1 route (got our NOA2 a week ago after 13 months of waiting), I wouldn't recommend K1 to anyone. If we knew better back then we would 100% go with CR1. We're not even at the end and we are already regretting not being smarter and looking into the pros and cons of each (there are not really any pros to K1 anymore lol). 

Adding ourselves in here as well 😊

I-129 F Sent -  May 11th 2021

I-129 F Received by lockbox - May 12th 2021

We received the text with the case number on May 20th and got the NOA1 in the mail a week later.
