What is going on????? Am I such a threat to this society that they really need to double check on me each and every time?!!!!!!

I applied for my GC & EAD in August and I still don't have them. I've just received an e-mail reply to my service request:

"We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please call customer service at the number provided below."

6 months?! 6 months?!

I got through the same with the fiancee visa, what do they check??!!! What do I do next? When should I contact a senator? Really, what's their problem with me? I'm fed up with staying at home and being a housewife....

Yes, it took forever with the K1 and it's the same with my green card....I have no idea why. Am I so unlucky? :) Are they lazy and the extra investigation is an excuse? I'll never find out and it's more frustrating when you can do nothing about it or get no answer to your questions....

Is it possible your name is close to someone with a bad rep?

Have you tried an infopass and asking for an interum EAD? You can request an interum EAD after 90 days.

your case has been transferred to CSC, you may get it soon. If you read the OCT filers, a lot of them that transferred to CSC doesnt need to go to interview and one of the members was on the same boat like you, and all of a sudden, she got an email stating her husband GC was approved and the card being ordered... i hope that will be the case for you... good luck... I have to agree Customer Service doesnt help at all.... my husband and i are frustrated with them also

Nobody mentioned an interim EAD although I'm entitled.

I heard about people getting their GC approved and skipping the EAD but with my luck I'll probably get stuck again. And my file has been transferred in September, I stopped hoping this transfer would mean a faster approval.

I see in your signature FBI checks, I didn't know they do this again, after they checked us already for the I-129F. So I'm starting to believe that my name does match some bad reputation name and this is holding me back. Anyway, they don't do their job correctly as I am entitled to an interim EAD and I'll determined to contact our senator. My husband tells me I put too much hope into this but what else can I do?

Good luck to you too juliava (F):star: and hope you'll soon have our approvals ;)

Well, we were in the same boat, having filed EAD in mid-July and we just recently got approved. We did it via e-file on advice from the SSN office and regret doing so as it took FOREVER. But then just one day - it showed up in the mail and 2 days later, the USCIS website status updated and we got the email notification (I just love gov't efficiencies).

Hang in there.

I received a sms early this morning saying my EAD has been touched, I thought: well, just another touch....but guess what: I GOT APPROVED!!!!! I can't believe it. They approved it yesterday. And my AP too.

Is it all because I contacted the senator? Who knows?

I'm waiting for the Green Card now.
