EAD card production last night! (it went straight to that, no 'approval') Absolutely nothing yet on AP since NOA though, hoping it catches up soon so I can go travelling!

Congrats to everyone who received things this week! And Nich I'm glad you're back and feeling better (what you had sounded horrible!) happy anniversary and new home!

Congrats on the job Ellie! Can't believe I can finally start looking now too, I am contemplating a complete career change (there are tonnes of jobs in DC area but most in my area of experience need security clearance which requires citizenship...grrrr....) so we'll see what turns up!

EAD and AP approved! SO happy! Its safe to start looking for a job while we wait for the card right?? Or should we wait??

For what its worth, I had signed up for mobile updates and have been getting them for I-485, but we only got these approvals through case updates and emails...no texts. the emails were sent at 8:30 last night.

Congrats Laura! I'll bet that's a load of your minds.

We took a break from all the paperwork and are back at it with a vengeance now. It's good to see a lot of familiar names all going thru the same process again.

I used to go to the New Port Richey FL (north of Tampa) every other year for Christmas. It was always warm enough to have our turkey dinner lakeside at a county park.

Hi All ....

Oh my, how good does Christmas dinner lakeside sound? A little bit better than the snow shoes and thermal long johns that I'll be wearing as I travel to Christmas dinner in Iowa! :lol:

Maybe I should book a holiday to Mexico? I could use my brand new shiny AP DOCUMENT that I got in the mail today .... :dance:

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

:D Grats on approvals, everyone. I'm on the search for a vehicle as I passed my driving test on Wednesday. Luckily, the Cash for Clunkers thing didn't happen for everyone, so there's lots of vehicles people are trying to sell cheaply. Wish me luck!

Congrats to AP and EAD approvals/send-offs. :)

Apparently my AOS case has been transferred to CSC - but we only got the NOA1 about 3 weeks ago! Is that normal? We haven't even had biometrics yet...
