Hey,

So I see know that the MSC is processing dates from around Nov 3rd. It seems like ages ago when I got my receipt letters, but it was actually only Jan 24th!! It will seem like forever, constantly checking for the posted date to increase.

So anyway, all my paperwork I thought was sent to the Chicago lockbox. All my receipt numbers (EAD, AOS) begin with MSC. Does this mean that 100% my EAD is being processed there? I only ask to confirm really, as dates for the other sites are about a month shorter! Why can MSC take so long. Is that where Chicago sends all the EAD's to get processed??

Come on MSC, hurry everything up!!

Cheers!

BW

Yep! . You are right BenGr.

I am also thinking the same. Why is that NSC which is supposed to be faster is taking sooo long to process EAD?. All the other centers are more than a month ahead of NSC. Even NE center which used to be the slowest in everything is processing December cases.Something is weird with MSC.

So much for being the "National" center to process immigrant cases faster.

Maybe they are still on Chrsitmas vacation or something.Wake up guys !!

I've just been working it out...

NOA - 24th Jan (3 weeks ago)

Proc. Date Now - Nov 3rd (14 weeks & 5 days ago)

Basically add the two together, and if the dates on the USCIS MSC processing times are accurate (are they supposed to be???), it means I have about as much chance of getting my EAD within the 90 days as I do flapping my arms to try and fly!

hahaha.

Well still you never know.When the day before they published the dates(which said Nov 3) already someone with Nov 12th posted tellign that they got their EAD approved.So it may not the most accurate dates.

They got my EAD papers on Dec 18th.Not sure about the NOA date as post office did not deliver. But I confirmed with them that they are processing it. I am hoping by Mid March I should get approval.

I think they may jump to like Dec 10th next time they update the dates.Sometimes it happnes liek that.

You are about a month after me.Let's see.

All of the NOAs for Claudeth's biometrics came from MSC. Her AOS has since been transferred to CSC and we are patiently waiting for the outcome!

MSC dates are not terribly accurate. At one point people reported dates as of Jan (!!), and then the dates moved back. At least in most cases, you can get an interim EAD at 90 days since receipt by MSC.

09-02-2005 Applications for AOS, EAD, and AP received by MSC

10-21-2005 AOS fingerprint notice for 12-08-2005

11-07-2005 AP approved

12-05-2005 Infopass appt at San Jose office for interim EAD -- Refused, because it is already approved by MSC on 11-07-2005

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

12-08-2005 Biometrics for AOS and EAD. Having no EAD appt letter was no problem (used EAD NOA)

12-15-2005 EAD arrived in the mail

12-24-2005 Received interview letter; interview scheduled 03-01-2006

01-28-2006 Received replacement SSN card in married name (5 wks since application)

03-01-2006 AOS interview -- approved; received stamp in the passport

03-13-2006 Green card arrived in the mail
