AOS April 2011 filers!!!!!!

Will getting an infopass to have them reschedule me earlier help on this or would it just cause more delays?

Also, for those who got their EADs, did you get yours ahead of your interview appointment? I'm wondering because my interview is set just two months after my NOA (because I did the walk-in biometrics), would it mean that my EAD is also getting processed faster, or if it will go the usual timeframe of 3 months.

No, your EAD won't be processed any faster just because your interview is already scheduled. You are actually lucky that you have to wait only 2 months for your interview.

I also doubt that they will schedule your interview earlier because your husband can't take PTO. What about unpaid time off, can he take that? If you have to reschedule they will usually schedule you for later date. But you can try and do an info-pass, it won't cause any delays.

When you get RFE your case processing is on hold but you are still required to do biometrics as scheduled on your appointment letter so the first guy you spoke to was wrong.

June 22 appointment means nothing at Boston office as it was scheduled at Las Vegas office, based on their availability dates. Some offices allow walk-ins, others don't (and you will actually do a walk-in since you don't have an appointment at Boston office). Your case is unique so I'm guessing they will probably let you do it but why not try and go earlier? If I was you I would have tried and went as soon as I got appointment letter.

My RFE was posted may26th and I got it may31st. The letter said I had until july 7th to respond, just to give you an idea

We got the letter on June 7, called to update the address (hoping the RFE was that) and that is when the guy told us to ignore the biometrics as the case was on hold. We have since been moving in and didn't have a chance to look at anything until now, when the lady told me something different!

Had I known (and this is why I always double and triple check everything they say.. one stupid person could have cost me the entire process!)

Well well, looks like we got the RFE today! It says I have 87 days to respond, but will mail it out tomorrow. Apparently we didn't include enough evidence to prove I make 125% over poverty line, which is odd, because there should have been more than enough info on there.

I'm just glad it is something that can be resolved quickly!

Thanks! I know that we are lucky to have the interview set so early. I just hope that we can still get my EAD earlier.

As for rescheduling it, we will see what we can do. I may wait another week for our EAD, and what happens on my job interview. If not, I'll go try to get an info-pass, so that we can hopefully get my greencard right away so that I wouldn't need the EAD anymore.

You should never ignore anything that they send you in the mail, no matter what CSR tells you. They are sadly not the most reliable source of information and have given out wrong information plenty of times.

Well good luck with your biometrics and I hope your RFE gets resolved quickly!
