Hi everyone,

I just called USCIS because my husband's EAD and AP are past 90 days now. I got a really nice service rep on the phone who told me that they cannot put in a service request for the EAD because my husband was not here with me, and apparently they need his approval to do so. I just want to make sure that this is true, and if I call back in 10 minutes and speak with someone else will they tell me something different?

Also, he told me that they cannot put in a service request for the AP yet because the "normal" processing time for that is 180 days now, not 60-90 days as it said on the receipt notice that we received 3 months ago.

Has anyone had these experiences? Should I wait to call back with my husband, who I might have to translate for anyway...?

Thanks :)

Tori

Hi, Tori... yes, they wouldn't let me do a service request without my husband either. They just asked him basic information (name, etc...). It is a pain in the butt to have to call together, but i guess it is an issue of privacy.

As for the AP, i don't know if that is true! Had no idea it changed... last time i checked USCIS website, it was still 90 days... :unsure::unsure:

Hi AlHayatZween,

Thank you so much for that answer. That is a pain! I understand why they do it, but to me it doesn't really make much sense, since we have to file initially on their behalf anyway. Oh, well. I'll just call back later today.

I was really bummed about the AP news. 180 days is a long time to wait just to travel outside the US!

Oh, well... Thanks again!

Hi Tori,

They told me the same thing about it taking 6 months now too when I called yesterday. I was bummed (to put it nicely) too. They should be updating their website very soon as it's around the 18th of the month when they change it. It will be interesting to see what that says.

Good luck to you.

Hi Tori,

Good luck to you.

180 days! and here, i thought the AP would be the easiest to approve.

here is my question... i've asked it before but i don't remember getting any responses:

If your AOS case is transfered to California, does that mean your AP and EAD are also transfered? Or do they stay at National Benefits Service or the field offices?

Does anyone know?

No EAD or AP arriving yet, AHZ?????

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

ok today marks the 90th day from my NOA for my EAD. My husband has to "BEG" to conference me into the call so they can put on a request. They gave me a reference number for the request and the interim EAD is part of that request. The rep also said I am approaching to 90 days (emmm, he doesn't know how to count 90 calendar days maybe?) and nothing can be done.... then i speak up and said it's dec 18th, 90 days since the NOA was issued.... and then he gave me a service request and saying that it will take up to 45 days for a response....

i hope it wont take a full 45 days for that....

and i also read from you girls/guys that the interim EAD will be issued within a week from the day u file for service request, where did u get the info...

Hey AHZ!

Yes, we got the EAD and AP on 12 /12 . Still waiting for the interview appointment letter to come. My husband is going back to Egy March 15th. We kinda want the interview over with by then, but who knows . Look who we are dealing with, after all. So...........

Hang in there, AHZ. Your papers are coming. I promise.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I am also gonna hit the 90th day this Sunday. :wacko:

So far, no reply to my Service Request that I put on 12/8....

AlHayatZween, we are doing everything we can at this point. :star:

I think we are handling this situation very well.

I always get encouraged when I see everyone keeping their positivity and hope.

So, let's stay positive because I believe that positivity brings good outcome. :thumbs:
