Showed up at the Jacksonville office at 7:30am... sat for 45minutes before someone came out and told us the NBC had over booked their appointments so we have to go back on the 28th

Just wanted to let August filers know we just came out of our interview and we were approved for my conditional green card as of today. I was told my card would arrive within 10 days and I asked about the passport stamp. He said it is policy not to give it out anymore Bc they are issuing the cards quickly right now.

Still haven't received my EAD though it is kind of useless now. I will update again when I receive my cards.

Good luck to all those awaiting interviews!

As my recent service request was sent to my local office...which made no sense to me(Local offices do not process EAD's), I made an Infopass appointment at my local office for today (91 days) since filed. To my relief, the officer agreed with me that it made no sense that they would send the service request or the EAD paperwork to the local office and that someone had made a mistake. At first she told me she would have to get the EAD paperwork sent back to the Service Centre.

After much digging around and speaking to her supervisor, the officer came back and told me that the supervisor had been working on my file yesterday and had tried to call me. Long story short, all they needed to do was see mine and my son's (K2) identification and they approved mine and my son's Green Cards today!!! Should get them in the mail soon. No interview, no EAD, no AP! I'm so happy

Hi all! Did any of you guys got transferred to CSC? I already have my EAD/AP but not my GC. My AOS case was transferred to CSC, September 22nd and I got no updates since then. Until now it's still on Initial Review. I just can't wait to get this over and done with.

Just updating again to let august filers know i JUST recevied my EAD in the mail today but since I was was approved for my Green Card this past monday (11/14/11), I wonder if the EAD is even valid. On a side note, since I am technically a permanent resident with conditions now, would using the EAD (ie: to get a license, apply for job, etc) get me in muddy waters?

Also surprising to see, it arrived Priority Mail. I hope my GC does the same.

The EAD is still valid...we still have my husbands because they told us to keep it after our green card interview...it is not needed though after you get your green card. You can get a job with it my husband had a job before we had our interview so you can definitely start looking. In many states if you were to get your license with your EAD card, your license will only be valid until your EAD expires...something to look into to see if where you live is like that.

PS-Green card will come in priority mail as well

Our case was also transferred to california service center. My husband got his EAD almost 2 weeks ago but AOS still says initial review.

I hope it really means we will not have an interview but will just receive the GC in the mail... At least my husband can now work and travel, YEAH !!!

I was so confused but your answer clears everything up. In florida, your Drivers License expires when your EAD does so I think I'll just wait it out and apply with my GC so I don't need to have it renewed so soon. But I'll probably start looking for a job now.

Glad to know the GC comes priority too! Thank you again for the information!

Ours aswell got sent to california. said on the notice to speed up the process..

I also receive my EAD in the mail yesterday

Now time to go get my SSN and then find a job. Who knows who will want to hire me from 9 until 3.. (joys of having a kindergartener you have to put them on the bus and take them off every day )

[mrs. carey 4]

Thanks for the reply guys! I was just getting worried and am losing my patience too. I thought I was the only one. lol Though I'll be starting my new job on Monday, that should take my mind off the GC. Patience...patience...and more patience. *Sigh*

Just received this:

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Your Case Status: Decision

On November 18, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. ETC ETC ETC ETC

For those of you who have already received their GC's, does this mean they have mailed anything? Mailed the Welcome letter? Mailed the GC? Or is it just a mundane step?

I ask because it is DECISION, not POST DECISION ACTIVITY. I noticed that when they mailed my EAD, it was definitely POST DECISION ACTIVITY.

Thanks.
