May 2010 Filers

I've heard about this being possible but never encountered anyone who's had such a case...

Thanks, I hope I am not the exception.

So we are really on the same schedule as april82010. touch on AOS yesterday, and touch on AOS again today for both of us. Fingers crossed. We were both very early May filers, so hopefully that gives all the May filers hope that it's almost all of our turns!

Hey All,

Just wondering if those of you with interview dates have it showing you at the interview stage on the USCIS website, I'm only asking this as I have it showing still at initial review stage, even with an interview date and an infopass appointment. Agh this is driving me nuts

Shows initial review, still.

I think website is not updated as it should be.

Mine never gets updated neither...

Are you's all getting as frustrated as I am, I mean I know we have appointments, but others don't and their cases are moving along much faster than ours, or so it seems

how long after biometrics did you guys get EAD or ead approval? I think my wife's going to freak out if she doesn't get a paycheck soon

Yet to get EAD, though biometrics done on 6/10.

No EAD or AP yet, although biometrics done in May, tell your wife not to freak out, although I know that's easier said than done, I'm freaking out too hahahaha

Maybe updates depends on the person who handle the case? If he input everything or not because some cases are moving even without updates. Just guessing..

Most likely for updates to work, the person handling the case would have to update something in the software, and either due to laziness or lack of awareness, they are not doing it.

[jmd77 1]

This may sound naive, because I don't really know that I understand what Chicago does, what California does, and what the local USCIS offices do, but with that as a caveat...

Will those of you with interview dates get any updates before the interview? I haven't looked at that in other timelines, so I don't really know but it seems counterintuitive to me that you would see movement until the few days before your interview date. Seems to me that they know they can't do much more with your AOS until you're sitting in front of them? Whereas those of us in California see updates because they are scannnig a barcode every time someone touches the file. Now, I don't know that's how it works, but I do know of other government agencies that track files by making employees enter file numbers or scan bar codes. My posts will lead you to believe that I think every update means that someone actually worked on our file, but realistically, I don't know that they aren't just scanning a barcode when it moves from one desk/room/shelf to another. I just assumed that wouldn't be the same for those of you with an interview date, because they know they are going to see you on a specific date.

Now the lack of movement on the EAD front is a whole different story - that I cannot pretend to comprehend. The government's ignorance of the tax revenue that our spouses could be paying by working is plainly obscene, but that's a story for another day.

People who are saying their spouses will go crazy if they don't get a paycheck soon...my husband is in the same boat! He was at that point a few weeks after arriving, so he's really starting to get antsty now. We haven't had any touches on AOS since 6/16 (when CSC received the file) or on EAD/AP since 5/19!

Trying to be patient though

[SuperDuper! 230]

there seems to be no real pattern to how soon an ead or gc is issued after biometrics. we must be patient and hurry up and wait.

This hurry up and wait sounds so much like the army hahahaha
