It came at 7:30 am. So we all have two "card production ordered" emails and now an "approval notice sent" on the EAD. I figure this last one means they mailed the card. The AP notice said "approval notice sent" and what came in the mail was the actual AP.

Jez, all we want is one email and you guys are getting a plethera ... grrrr. Happy Christmas USCIS.

You have the gift of patience and humour which serves well in this process! Just watch, when you least expect it a card will just appear I bet, no fanfare, no introduction - it'll just drop onto your doormat!!! (And by the way, those e-mails - they stop your heart for a split second when you realize they are from USCIS! It's getting to be more than I can handle!!! :wacko:

Ok, so I just got an "Approval Notice sent" email from CRIS. Just send me the card, would ya?!!!

LOL!! I got the same email today!! :wacko:

Me three (again!)

I sure hope so!! We'll see who gets it first! :lol:

Well probably not me. Y'all seem to live closer to the EAD place (Missouri? Chicago? I have no idea!) and my mail has to make it way down to Texas. So one of you is buying the drinks. :star:

Yeah, but my mail has to make it through all this darned snow!

Thanks, Sweets - Someone on another thread said something similar, that when you get the "approval notice sent" messege is when they've actually sent it out. We will see...

Hey Kimcorene,

Sorry to hear about your progress, I pray that you will hear something very soon from them. We both filed on the same day and I dont understand how your biometrics isn't done yet. When you called for a service request, what reason did you give to them?Did you get a leeter about the service request and a reference number or something? As someone else in commented, why dont your hubby call and explain to them or something, maybe that will help. I know its frustrating, trust me, I know... but dont get discouraged, stay on it and try keeping yourself busy. Hopefully you will get a response sooner than you think.

Congrats, guys!

Thank you Kim, I sound like a broken record in here, but I am so shocked and I totally didnt know it was going to be the way it was and I am totally blessed and have no complaints about anything knowing now my process was so quick and smooth. Have you heard any word about your biometrics appointment yet? Sorry you have to be going through this mess with USCIS and hopefully you will get that bio appointment letter soon. Merry Christmas to you.

Nope, still haven't heard anything- and it's getting a little frustrating now. I'm stuck at home and have to take the bus cause I don't have a license and it takes forever for me to get anywhere. I'm hoping I'll hear something soon, though.

The reason I gave was that it's been past 90 days since they received my application- the person I spoke with put in a service request, but there's been no news on that front yet. A new field office will be opening close by at the beginning of January, so they closed the ASC that I would have gone to, so I suspect that has something to do with the delay. Anyway, I made an Infopass appointment for the 5th at the new office, so I'll see how that goes.

I see..maybe the closing and opening of another office is probably the delay..did you get a confirmation number? if you did, next time when you call them refer it to them..well..keep yourself busy and enjoy the holidays with your family and get on it after the holidays are over. I pray you will get it done soon and give us some good news.

HVAE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
