    I heard that waivers for those that had government assistance take longer to get approved. in any case mine took 11 months to be approved and this was in 2021 - no government sponsored J1 though. So you might be in for a wait 😕

    No, F1.

    Just wanted to say that I got approved on the 22nd of March! My journey is over, just waiting on my card now. I wish y’all the best and hope you all receive your GC’s soon!

    Hi guys, my I-130 got approved today. I didn’t send my medicals initially so just waiting for either an RFE or interview notice. Just wanted to give an update! My PD is 8.10.2022
  5. noobjections
    Sorry about that. But at least you know it’ll be done correctly this time and you can get approved soon!

    I’m unfamiliar with K-1 rules but are you allowed to do your medicals outside the country? Within the US you’re entitled to a copy and the sealed document to send to USCIS. You might have to do it again within the US.

    What’s your PD? You need to call the doctors office, you’re supposed to get a sealed copy and your own personal one (not sealed). If you have your receipt go back and tell them you need your sealed copy, I’ve never heard of this happen as all civil surgeons are very knowledgeable about the USCIS requirements.

    Mine is 0917 and a friend applied a month after me and just got approved. They are definitely not going in order of apps received.

    I just moved. You’re legally required to send a change of address (AR-11 form) within 10 days of moving. my lawyer said my new field office has a less wait and processing time so it *might* work out in my favor, but no guarantees.

    Congrats! Technically you’re ok to travel with AP but it’s still a risk, since it’s up to CBP to let you in at their discretion. if you haven’t gotten into any trouble or you haven’t illegally stayed you should be ok.

    Hmmm, that might be a problem. But go with your i485 NOA and other documents i mentioned and hopefully they accept it. the website is a little confusing!

    I live in GA, and was just there yesterday. Check your specific states DMV requirements but what I took was: Social security card EAD My i485 notice of action 2 pieces of mail for address verification Passport Bank Statement for address verification hope this helps!

    Well yeah, that’s one of the criteria to expedite. But you need to be a bit more specific when you’re talking to an agent on phone or through Emma. In my experience what you say right then is the most important, and determines whether your expedite gets approved or not. Make sure you have some kind of proof, just in case they ask. Good luck!

    Welcome! I am in GA but my field office (where I had my biometrics) is in Jacksonville, FL. The service center that processed my EAD is National Benefits Center (NBC).

    Thank you! Financial loss to a company. They were my previous employers and wanted me back ASAP. Financial loss to a company. They wanted me to come back ASAP as I had worked for them before. Thank you! Waiting for it in the mail and to get through hurricane ian first 😂

    Hi all, Just coming to you with an update. On 9/15 I requested an expedite through Emma. They told me I’d hear back in 7 days. On 9/24 I got an email saying they are reviewing my expedite request. Today 9/26 MY EAD GOT APPROVED!!! They did not ask for evidence. Obviously super stoked and I can’t believe it, I was desperate and needed to try. Happy to answer any questions!
  17. noobjections
    Sounds exactly like how mine went! I was in and out in 15 minutes, my cases also got updated to actively being reviewed immediately after. I know what you mean, I was on edge right after thinking I’d get the EAD the same day but I guess not 😅 good luck to us all for real!
  18. noobjections
    Thank you for the warm welcome! How did your appointment go? Let us know if you get instant approval!

    Amazing! Let’s keep each other informed 😊 Absolutely and you saying that made me realize I was taking all this for granted - at least we get to be with our spouses while we wait. I can’t imagine how agonizing the wait is for people doing consular processing. My FO is Jacksonville, FL and I imagine they are very very very busy!

    Hi everyone I’m new to this thread! seems like a lot of you are K-1! I am doing AOS by marriage to US citizen. PD: 8/10/22 Biometrics: 9/8/22 Until today it says case is being actively reviewed! Really disheartening seeing people get EAD’s right after biometrics but I’m hanging in there! Congrats to all those that have received theirs so far.

    I’m not a July filer but also not far off. PD: 8/10/22 Biometrics done: 9/8/22 until now all cases say “actively reviewed”. Was really hoping I’d get mine the same day as biometrics 😞 seen so many people apply after me and already have their EAD in hand.
  22. noobjections
    Took about 5 days to get it in the mail.

    I received FR on June 29th from DOS and then got approved by USCIS on July 13th. After you get FR from DOS and they transfer it to USCIS, you get a receipt number to check the status online. Mine was sent to my lawyer so I didn’t personally have it. She was checking everyday and finally told me it was granted. I received the waiver/receipt notice in the mail on July 22nd.

    My lawyer received my receipt number after USCIS received the case. She was checking for me and finally told me that it was approved, so I didn’t get a chance to look at my USCIS case status before she did.

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to share an update. I received favorable recommendation on June 29th. My lawyer informed me that USCIS approved the waiver July 15th. Currently waiting for it in the mail! Good luck everyone, took about 8 months from start to finish for me. Now to file AOS! Wish me luck.
