Nothing updates once the Bio is done. You just receive your NOA1 and Bio letter and then the next update is either an RFE or the EAD/AP in production notice.

I didn't file for AP since I am out-of-status but on the bottom of my EAD card is states "Not valid for Re-Entry to the U.S." so I am just assuming that the new joint EAD/AP cards would have the opposite wording on them and thus you could just use the same card to act as both employment authorization and as a re-entry permit.

That's exactly how it works. What you will get is an EAD/AP combo card that will explicitly state so too. One card, two purposes, good enough till the GC itself comes through. All the best!

The Journey

Arrived on F1 visa on 25 Dec 2008. Graduated June 2011. Started OPT Sep 2011.

AOS applied March 21, 2012. GC approved June 11, 2012 & received June 18, 2012.

Exactly three months from start to finish,no RFEs.

Thanks seems like everyone who mailed their package by first week of march is getting their EAD approval..now what I'm interested is seeing whether my EAD will be in my married name or my maiden name. Since I had the issue with my biometrics and had to get my last name changed on all my papers back to my maiden name I'm assuming it'll be that.. (either way doesn't matter ) btw does ur status online get changed once they receive ur biometrics?

I filed first week of March, my NOA1 came March 6. Cant wait for mine to be approved too! LOL

I got a text today with an interview date scheduled for June 8th. Problem is my husband and I plan to travel back to Canada for our nephews 1st birthday which is June 7th. I am not sure what to do. I can't do both because they are a day apart. Do I do the selfish thing, attend the interview and miss his B-day or go and reschedule the interview?

IMHO there is nothing selfish about attending the interview that you have paid close to 2K and waiting months for. The nephew will have many more birthdays and won't even remember that you were there or not.

When we went to our nephew's 1st-- it was more a party for everyone else than it was for the child. Trust me, you will be forgiven under the circumstances.. but that is just me :whistle:

Congrats on the interview letter BTW :dance:

Wish they would get around to mine :crying:

Are you serious? Your GC interview is more important than your nephew's birthday.
