AOS Interview Date Received - But no EAD yet!

[Buttress83 0]

Dear VJer's:

On November 23 I received an RFE for a copy of my birth certificate (petitioner) and 2008 tax returns. The response was mailed November 25, 2009. To date, there have been no LUD's since November 17. Since it was taking weeks and I hadn't heard anything, I mailed the whole RFE response again on December 14. Still nothing.

So, December 18 comes and we get the AOS Interview letter indicating that our interview is scheduled for January 21, 2010. This is great and all, but we really want the EAD to be approved and the card in the mail! I checked the online case status site, and still no LUD's, updates, NOTHING. I am conviced that our online profile is broken or whoever is processing our case fails to update it.

My question is, is it normal to get the interview letter without receiving anything regarding the EAD? Please ease my concerns, or give any advice you can based on your experience. I appreciate it. Good luck to everyone.

when you get green card you dont need EAD it becomes obsolite.

having said that my aos wasnt touched from november 6th till december 8th when my AOS was approved. A lot of others have been getting approved without any touches they just all of a sudden get an approval notice.

agead , my EAD took almost 2 month , but who knows maybe they like to give an interview first before aproving anything since you got married on visitor visa ,or who knows maybe you get your EAD,

I would waite till the interview if they aprove your GC at the interview then you wont need the EAD

or maybe your RFE delayed the EAD aproval ,

The RFE halted any progress on the interims (EAD and AP) until the Service received the response.

Apparently things are on the move again.

It's been less than 60 days since you filed. The position of the Service on issuance of interim benefits is 90 days processing time. An RFE can delay this processing time.

No, it doesn't work like that. Interim benefits aren't withheld from persons just because they file for adjustment from the VWP or a visitor visa.

As you can see from my signature, we're sort of in the same boat as the OP. Got advanced parole right away, but EAD and GC are still somewhere out there in the ether after almost 90 days since filing for both. At least our AOS paperwork was transferred to California, which means we probably won't have to deal with an interview, but it would still be nice to get the darned EAD after all this time.
