OH... Lucky you :) Still nothing in my mailbox :( As fas as I know you should have a stamp in your passport. Your GC should arrive within 30 days in the mail. If not give them a call. If no updates there is nothing to worry. Seems like alot of people didn't get updates since nov or dec.

I have the greatest luck in the world! (sarcasm)

It seems over the weekend there was a flood (I dont know how, given that it hasn't even rained up here) and I got a call this morning (ONE HOUR BEFORE THE INTERVIEW) saying our interview will be rescheduled.

At least last friday I got the EAD in production, so hopefully I can start working soon!

Good luck everybody with your journey.

Yes EAD. They say should arrive in 30 days but I think i'm gonna get it either Friday or sometime next week :dance:

Congrats!! :) Hoping my husband gets his EAD soon.

I got my NOA1s in early December after mid-November filing, and got a late December biometrics appointment which I attended. Nothing since then. None of my case numbers are in the online system. It's becoming a little frustrating not to have any indication of the progress of the application.

We are in the same exact boat. It is a little frustrating. Lately it seems many people are either not finding their cases online or are not seeing updates. When you just can't see your case (like you and my husband) it seems even more frustrating like you don't even exist to them! Hoping we both get EAD notices soon!! And interview notices too!

Just got to know through infopass that my I-485 has been approved and I should receive it in mail anytime :) ..... Came back home and found out the WELCOME TO AMERICA NOTICE :)

That's great!!! Congrats to you! :) Did you not have an interview then?

EDIT: Never mind I see that you didn't. Well that's great for you! :)
