I love receiving text messages from USCIS and updating my Signature

Third EAD update received today: "On July 6, 2012, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file."

I thought third update would be about USPS picking up the card...maybe after this one....

Received my second EAD update today: "On July 5, 2012, we ordered production of your new card..." I'm expecting third update next week would be "USPS picked up card"

Hang on tight everybody

Hi VJ friends,

I finally got my EAD in hand.

It took USPS 7days.

I still haven't got my interview letter but for now, hooray!

Hope you guys get yours soon.

Congrats! I'm right behind you

I got EAD second update today like yours saying "we ordered production of your new card." I'm expecting to receive EAD card next week hopefully.

This is so frustrating.

On May 22, 2012, we received this I765 APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or contact our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

We may have different backgrounds but we all share one thing on this immigration stuff -- wait wait wait. The wait is frustrating enough but I decided not to dwell on it everyday and enjoy other stuff instead. You're on first month of waiting for EAD I didn't hear anything til my 2nd month.

Congratulations guys! Looking forward for more approvals soon.

We have similar timeline I bet you'll receive yours next week

Congrats

Congrats.We waiting for some good news soon

Thanks guys! you will receive yours soon

Tadah!!!

Card/ Document Production (EAD)

On June 29, 2012, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

I knew I had to expect the update would be within this week... Slowly but surely there would be EAD card productions for all May filers.... Just follow through everybody's timelines

Slowly but surely End of April to 1st week of May are getting EAD updates now... Hang on tight yours is around the corner

I've been playing with my MSC case numbers since there's nothing else to check on the website.

I was able to trace how many applications there are (well not the total exact number) and it is astounding no wonder they may be backlogged as what I heard. My case number is MSC1920-660XXX meaning my application is the 660,xxxth one I changed the numbers on the last six digits and I found other applications either ahead or after mine. It's pretty interesting and crazy number of applications too... So hang on tight everybody

Hey May filers!

I'm so excited to share the news with you: I just got an email saying that on June 10, 2012 they sent us an appointment notice for an interview. It is scheduled for July 12, 2012. So now I will be waiting impatiently for that date and getting ready for the interview. Yet, no updates on EAD and AP...

Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations! I bet you'll get your GC shortly after your interview. Keep us updated.

Congratulations! Did they transfer your case before your biometrics appointment?

Yes. Got a "touch" on my case on June 1 saying it was transferred to another office, biometrics was on June 4 then on June 6 Transfer notice was in the mail indicating it is transferred to CSC.

That just means a case may be processed either before or after the biometrics appointment. An early appointment doesn't really guarantee faster processing otherwise everyone wouldn't be following the schedule

June 4th in St. Louis, Mo.

Yay! Congratulations. I'm excited for you

Thanks! I don't know if I should be excited because I heard CSC has really long wait time...

Hello guys! Just got back from 4-night stay including my biometrics appointment. The transfer notice was in the mail yesterday and on our way back home today I received text message on an update on our case. So my I-485 application is transferred in CSC... Good luck to all of us!

Just wanna share I received a text message about an update on my case and I still got to do Biometrics next Monday

Initial Review

On June 1, 2012, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to another office for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action.

I'm not expecting one til after my biometrics because There won't be an update/"touch" on the case until after biometrics. That's when USCIS starts to process the rest of the applications

Ok I take back what I said because I received update on my I-485 today and my Biometrics schedule is next Monday.

"Initial Review

On June 1, 2012, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS..."

yahooo! I think there wouldn't be an interview if case is transferred but it'll talk longer to produce the card

For those who sent their package at the end of April or early May, has anybody seen a "Touch" (a change of last updated) in their account?

We just had our biometrics appointment today at 3:00pm at the Portland, Oregon office. It was extremely fast, in fact, I only saw one other couple in the entire building! First we went through security and there were three very friendly guards (who all seemed to secretly want to be comedians). We were directed to the double doors on the left and filled out a short questionnaire asking things like hair and eye color, race, and previous names used. Then my husband was called over and had his fingerprints, photo and signature done. All in less than 15 minutes! Everyone was very friendly, the building was new and clean, and I don't think I've ever had better customer service anywhere. Seriously.

Good luck to everyone else. I'm crossing my fingers for all of you!

Good to hear about your experience! This is the part I'm excited about because I know it's a breeze. I'm gonna do mine in the morning instead of following the 3pm schedule. Gotta get it out of the way so we can see the museum all day... so excited!

yay! thankSSs

Thanks! Well, I will be there on June 4th still but I want it earlier in the day like 9am so we can do other stuff... we're planning to go to the museum so we wanted it out of the way

Hi! My AOS Biometrics schedule is on June 4, 2012 3pm. Does anyone know if I can do it at an earlier time? Or is it strictly 3pm

Tuesday is biometric day! Sooooo excited! I can hardly wait!

Yes.

Hello,

What is the purpose of doing an early bio? Would you get your authorization of employment earlier?

Thanks!

It doesn't speed up your application. Sometimes an applicant cannot make it on the scheduled biometrics so a reschedule is needed
