Here's the weirdest thing. My wife and I have both gotten our AP and EAD combo cards but we haven't gotten a biometrics letter. I am tempted to call USCIS.

You came with EB-2. They may already have your biometrics data.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Wife's journey.
Day 01 - 07/25/2012 - Mailed AOS package (I-130,I-131, I-485,I-765) via UPS Next Day Air.
Day 02 - 07/26/2012 - Package delivered by UPS.
Day 10 - 08/03/2012 - Got 4 emails confirm AOS package had been received. Checks cashed.
Day 13 - 08/06/2012 - Receipt Numbers are track-able on USCIS website.
Day 18 - 08/11/2012 - Biometrics Notice received (Dated: 8/8, Appointment: 8/29)
Day 20 - 08/13/2012 - Walk-in biometrics done.
Day 24 - 08/17/2012 - Received 4 NOA letters.
Day 27 - 08/20/2012 - 2nd Biometrics Notice received. Same day walk-in biometrics done.
Day 41 - 09/03/2012 - Email and txt notification of interview.
Day 43 - 09/05/2012 - Interview Notice in the mail. This is GREAT!
Day 63 - 09/25/2012 - EAD txt notification. I-765 online status updated.
Day 69 - 10/01/2012 - EAD Mailed.
Day 71 - 10/03/2012 - Interview. I-130 approved. I-485 will be approved after police clearance received. / EAD received. Wrong name. Wrong country of birth.
... waiting for Police Reports from Vietnam and current city's police dept.
11/01/2012 - RFE Police reports sent.
11/06/2012 - I-485 Approved. Card production email received.
11/09/2012 - Email notification. Card picked up by USPS.

Remove condition:

Why visas are you adjusting from??

I have an H1B. My company is sponsoring my green card. We filed in EB2 category. We haven't gotten a letter for our biometrics yet. Hopefully it will come soon.

I doubt they have any biometrics data. I have never been finger printed. I came to the US before they started finger printing at the airport. Haven't traveled since 2001!

Your timeline is very close to ours. We haven't heard a word on anything & actually called and spoke to a tier 2 officer today to get a status update (our cases aren't online). All the officer told us was that our application is still processing and they have 90 days to complete it. Not very helpful at all. We have tickets to Denmark for Dec 14th & the chances of us getting to go are getting slimmer and slimmer :(

I haven't had any movement on my AOS. At least I was able to travel to Jamaica last week to see my family. Word of advice, if you are traveling on AP avoid Miami International Airport.

What happened??? Did you have a problem entering with AP??

My husband was approved for AP and EAD yesterday. Now waiting on the card to arrive. Our I-485 finally made it into the online system and it shows that we're in line to receive an interview date. I'm thankful that things are moving... finally! :) Now fingers crossed the combo card arrives so we can make it to Denmark in time for Christmas!

I got the notice for AOS interview in the mail this afternoon.

:wow: It is really out of my expectation!

I thought EAD is supposed to come before the interview.

But anyway, it’s good news for us. Now we can start preparing for the interview.

Good luck to all those still waiting. :lol:

Congrats! When is your interview scheduled for?

In regards to EAD, I've read accounts on here where people have received it one week prior to their interview. At least you have an interview date, that's what's most important!

We had our interview and it went well.... IO was very nice but also very through... She checked all the major points related to our case... No tricky questions or anything.... Took about 1 hr, mostly of her checking her computer and when she wasn't familiar with the format of an original certificate, she called her supervisor who then Ok'ed it..... Waiting to receive GC which was already mailed.....

We wish happy holidays and smooth journey to the rest of the AOS filers...

Haven't been online in a while...but here is our update.

Biometrics appointment scheduled for December 7. We successfully walked in and completed biometrics on December 1.

On December 31, we received notice for our interview!!!! We are scheduled for January 31.

Still haven't received notice regarding EAD...hopefully it will be soon, as my husband is getting very antsy to get to work. But at least we have the interview scheduled, so the EAD can't be far!
