Edward and Jaycel

@Purple_Paladin a6 is wrong - File it under (c)(9) Look below. This is what we filed Jaycel's under and got her EAD in 51 days after filing. a6 will get you an EAD that is only good for the 90 day validity of the I-94. Since it won't be adjudicated within the 90 day window it will be DENIED if you file under a6

Category c09 if you are filing concurrently with the I-485

No, they rely on gross income for this and the I-864

Hope it's soon!! 🙏

The trends I have been seeing over the last year, monitoring several different forums and data aggregators, are as follows (percentages are rough but fairly accurate): 20% - 30% - Get approved for a EAD/AP Combo Card pretty quickly (Within a couple of weeks after the biometrics appointment) 50% - 60% - Get the EAD fairly quickly but the AP drags out several months The remainder seem to have their EAD/AP applications get stuck in limbo and don't get either of them adjudicated prior to the Green Card being approved CAVEAT - It seems that USCIS is pulling a lot of AOS applications from the top of the pile in the last few months and many applicants are receiving interview notices within a month or two of their biometrics and this is causing many more people to fall into that "Remainder" category lately, where they are getting their green card interviews before EAD/AP is processed and/or they are getting the approval(s) between the time they get the interview notice and when they go to the interview. 2ND CAVEAT - This is all anecdotal "evidence" as I said above, I spend a lot of time on a lot of different forums and data aggregator sites (this whole process has grabbed my interest LOL) and none of this is "Hard Data" so take it FWIW Good luck on your journey!

The visa is invalidated upon entry for any further entries from outside the country yes but their I-94 is valid for the full 90 days

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 🎉🎉

MSC is the NBC and that is the code for it on the paper filing cases. If you got IOE receipt numbers, that means that USCIS took your paper filing and scanned it into the Electronic system. This is good as it seems IOE (electronic) cases move faster than MSC (paper) cases. Your I-765 will be adjudicated to completion at the NBC. It will not go to a field office.

Because they were getting status updates like, "Fingerprints taken" and "Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview". USCIS does not give status updates like that for cases in the IOE system. The main difference is that cases with an IOE receipt number means that the applicant either filed the case online or USCIS scanned and uploaded the paper filed case to ELIS (Electronic Immigration System) and that the case file is held electronically. The MSC receipt numbers indicate that the applicant send a paper-filed application / petition and USCIS did NOT scan it into ELIS and the case file remains on paper.

Good Lord

If your tax transcripts / income are enough to prove that you exceed the threshold, you do not need to include assets. My income was more than enough and I did not include assets in either the I-134 or the I-864 and had zero issues.

Yeah I think if it hits the 90 day mark their plan is to engage our senators and if nothing comes of that, then they will pursue a WoM so that they can show they have tried all avenues to get the thing moving

Our friends just passed the 60 day mark over the weekend and they put in the service request Monday morning....

Friends of ours had their interview July 29th and have heard nothing since.... I know every case is different but I don't get why they need additional 2-3 months to adjudicate some cases after the interview. Hope you guys hear soon!

Yes they do for sure

The DS-3025 copy you would send in is really just a reminder to the adjudicating officer that she had her medical done overseas and to look for it in her A-File. Since she doesn't have her copy, you can just mention in the cover letter table of contents something like this: I-693: No I-693 included because as I am adjusting from a K-1 visa, I completed my immigrant medical exam overseas on <Date> and medical report was handed to CBP upon entry to the US at <PoE> on <Date>

I wish I had a clue to the logic and algorithm behind that portal. LOL Our friends who have been waiting on a decision since their interview on July 29th just filed a service request through the egov.yscis.gov site. We'll see if that shakes anyone's tree.

We did a FOIA request for Jaycel to get her entire A-File after she got her Green card. The request was acknowledged on 08/06/2025 and we got an API Update that same day.

A number should be above her name on the I-129F NOA2. It starts with A then 9 digits

Oh that is interesting.... hmmmmm

We submitted 3 months of my paystubs, my tax return transcript from the most recent tax year and an employment verification letter from my employer

Yeah... that's where our friends are stuck... "updatedAt": "2025-07-29",

Current income is king with the I-134 (and the subsequent I-864). Do you have pay stubs and pro to submit with it to show that your current income is over the 100% Poverty Guidelines? (125% is for the I-864). Als, per the I-134 instructions, you only have to provide your most recent year's tax return and W-2s or tax return transcript

Log into your MyUSCIS account and then in another tab enter the following URL https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/Your IOE Number Put your receipt number at the end where I put "Your IOE Number" and you will get an API readout. In there you will see a section that says "updatedAt": with a date after it. That date is usually the last time someone at USCIS opened your case file

Our friends here in Denver are in the same position too... Interview July 29th and nothing since and no API updates
