5/24/11 - Checks cashed

5/25/11 - Last activity on account based on online tool

5/28/11 - Biometrics appointment letter (for 6/20/11)

6/20/11 - Biometrics Done (they were very nice)

6/24/11 - Text indicating Activity online (at 7:30 am) in morning - I jumped up so fast to get to the computer!

6/24/11 - Notice stating that interview will be on July 27 - no EAD action though

6/25/11 - Received letter that interview will take place on July 27 at 11am

We were prepared to wait for a long time - according to all the information out there. But basically within 2 months of USCIS cashing the checks they scheduled the interview - is this a good sign? I have not received EAD at all - they haven't even touched it. Please, anybody out there - is this a good thing? I am from Chicago ... also has anyone on the forum had any interviews at the Chicago locations recently?

Thanks

Hi Ozma!

We are on the same boat..same timeline almost.. May filers seem to be rolling and we are like neighbors..I am in Indiana, you are in Chicago.

Pleas see my link which I posted yesterday.

It is a good thing. There's a high posibility of you getting your green card before the EAD arrives in the mail

Now don't say it too loud to jinx the fast transition.

[ceadsearc 516]

All the better if you're moving quickly, your office must not be backed up! You may or may not receive your EAD before your green card. If not, don't worry, it just means your process was really fast and then you can work with the green card.

Hello May Filers

wow i was freaking out about my EAD im in the same boat .. sent my AOS on 5/5/2011 and no ead , i did

my biometrics 5/20/11 and last week i received my interview for july 20... but like you my friends

no EAD or touch i tried to expedite and the employer who offered me the job doesnt want to do paperwork

or get involved ...and USCIS asks for the job offer letter.. i feel some sort of relief that im

not alone please guys keep posting any changes..

thanks

We are so nervous - but we are happy to see that there are at least two other couples in the same boat - HOWEVER, we still have not seen ANY movement on the EAD at all ... I wish I could at least get that. We are starting to prep for the interview. Just want to make sure we have the dates exactly squared away. I never really pay attention to that stuff and now it is life and death to make sure you have all of that perfectly memorized. It is strange to have to be the "perfect" couple - we are generally not terribly sentimental, but it seems like you have to be for the purposes of this interview. So, I guess my question is - has anybody ever heard of anything going terribly wrong if the process is moving so fast? It just seems so unreal that it IS moving so fast

Hi, im new at this, but just by reading all other comments, i can see that there is other people in the same or similar situation like me, my i485 and i765 application was received on may 18 2011, got my noa on june 06 2011, got my biometrics appointment on june 7 2011 scheduled for july 5 2011, did a walk-in on june 16 2011, no news yet, does anyone knows why?

Hi Guys!

I'm kind of in the same boat right now and I'm not sure what to make of it. The following is my current timeline:

9/3/2007 – First Met

1/5/2012 – Married

1/24/2012 – Submitted I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131

1/26/2012 – Applications received by USCIS (Day 1)

2/6/2012 – Hardcopy NOA Confirmation of Receipt (Day 12)

2/6/2012 – Received Biometrics Appointment Notice (Day 12)

2/21/2012 – Biometrics Appointment (Day 27)

3/2/2012 - Received email notification for an interview scheduled for Apr. 5, 2012 (Day 36)

Although we have been scheduled for our interview on April 5th, I still haven't received anything regarding my EAD or my AP. Should this be a concern as I have travel plans outside the US on May 4th? Or is everything moving quicker than usual? Just curious if someone else has experienced something similar. Thanks guys!

My timeline has been as slow as a tortoise from beginning to (not quite) end.
