EAD

[yukfou 0]

Hey guys, I am sick worried here. I still haven't got my EAD. Here is the story. AOS package was recieved on 05/29/08 at the chicago lockbox. After a month I got an RFE for I485 regarding my co sponsors copy of passport or birth certificate which was sent back and recieved on 07/10/08.

Now my question is does my waiting period count from the original date when they got the AOS package or after the RFE recieved date? Remember the RFE had nothing to do with EAD? It was additional request for the photo copies of documents concerning 485 or am I wrong?

Should we make an appointment with infopass? Can they help us out with EAD to speed up the process. B.t.w I never got the appointment letter for biometrics either but when we called USCIS they said some people don't require it because their biometrics is already done in there home country. I do remember geting biometrics done at the US embassy during my k1 interview but I have no clue what it was for? any ways any advice or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time

We are also waiting for EAD. We did an info pass and they put a service request in. I am not not sure how good it did us, we still have not heard anything.

We had AOS package received on 7/16, which was transferred to CSC. I haven't heard anything to this point about Biometrics and it seems like most people get notified within a month. Also the USCIS site has no record of the I-131 and I 765 when I do the case search, but only the I-485. I'm confused whether the Biometrics process needs to be done (fingerprinting was done at Montreal embassy) and more importantly who can give me some information. I'm thinking about INFOpass, but if they are as useless as the 800 # for USCIS, I'm not sure what good that will do. So I may be in the same boat as you.

How long have you been waiting for? and did you get a RFE?

An RFE on your I-485 halts all processing on any unapproved benefit associated with that application. No action is taken on the other applications until the I-485 resumes normal processing

Sorry man, I feel like your case is more complicated than mine if they can't find your I-131 and I765. I think you should make info pass app or possibly file it again. I think I am making infopass app today, wouldn't hurt. I am just sick and tired of sitting around doing nothing. I can't drive a car or even a motorbike and a gear head like me I need those things

My EAD took over 5 months to get. And that was with no RFE's involved.

Jeez, that does not sound good at all. Me and wife has decided to wait for another month due to the RFE. On the 9th of next month it will be my 3rd month due to RFE time line. I really hope that I will get it by then.....fingers crossed

2 friends I'm helping just had both their EADs go over a month passed the 90 days. They called our local office and they said the petition had been "misplaced" . They got the EAD 5 days later in the mail.

Second one is calling our local office today.

Just hang in there, I submitted my AOS in May & haven't I heard anything from USCIS since.

I did my biometricts in the past so I figured they are skipping that part with me.

A lot of it has to do with your local office and how many other petitions they need to get through. I'm relying on the Phoenix office at the moment which has about 9 trillion naturalization applications to process.

fudge... I just got an email saying that they mailed out another RFE. I am so sick of this sh**. Why won't they mail all the RFEs together. Now this means that I have to wait another 3 months

[Steph0814 1]

If it makes you feel any better, they just mailed out my 3rd RFE on Monday and my Drivers license is expired now.

I'm there with you

My EAD card was mailed last 12 Aug 08 but i haven't received it til now.

What should i do? I've been calling the customer service about it. They just told me to wait for 30 days from the time it's been sent.

Earlier, i called again but the customer service said the system is down.
