So as I was taking a nap I hear 3 text messages coming in on my phone, and seconds later I hear 3 email coming in. I knew right away it's USCIS. So I read the text message , they inform me there had been an update to your status, visit USCIS website for more details. I started doing the happy dance very confident that it was my EAD . So I went to check the status only to be very disappointed when I realized it was just an address change update. Ohh well the wait continues. At least my I-485 went to initial review from acceptance maybe I will finally be moving to interview and testing like you all.

Thanks very much for all your advice I feel a whole lot better now when I know ppl have been in my situation and fought through it. I also dont have a lease in any of our names we are staying with a family friend until we get our own place when finances pick up. Did the IO ask about why you dont have a lease ect together? Also if you dont mind I could certainly use the names of those sites where I can get magazines and stuff in our names. So far this is what I have. Joint tax return for 2012 tax year, I added her to my credit card as a user, photos from the wedding day ( maybe four or five of me, her and her daughter that drove in town), 1 photo of us with her brother watching the super bowl, the official foward mail notification from the post office to forward mail to our new address.

What we actually had brought since we didn't have a lease agreement was a notarized affidavit from the friend stating we live in her house, take care of it for her, and that there's no lease agreement because we're like family. In the affidavit she also put some background info about how long she's known me, and my husband, little tidbits about our relationship. The IO read this very carefully and analyzed the fact that we didn't have a lease agreement; however in the end he said the notarized affidavit was perfect. I would suggest you get the same done?? Have the family friend write an affidavit and get it signed; I think that'll help a lot. Make sure to bring an original and a copy; our IO needed to see both.

Honestly I just ordered all the catalogs I could think of; Nordstrom, Macy's, Victoria's Secret, Godiva chocolate, all the stores I normally pass in the mall. Then I typed in "free catalogs" on google and ordered a few more from there. We had about 10 total, the IO only needed to see a few to be satisfied. Plus they're free to order to your hearts content!

I think you'll get it on time Bullan. I got that message five days ago and tracking says my card should be delivered today.

Both my EAD and AP have been approved according to the USCIS.org website!! I've literally been FREAKING OUT about this for the past few days since I have tickets home for the 17th of June. Now, I know I can't completely relax since I don't have the papers in hand yet and they have 10 days to send it to me. That's like... extremely tight...

SO:

EAD says 'Card production'

AP says 'Post-Decision Activity' and that they've mailed my approval and something about me following the instructions? What do I need to do...?

Ah just a few other things we used as evidence that might help some of you... We printed out our Skype history (you can access it online) for the entire time we were dating long distance, the IO really loved this and kept it. Also paypal money transfers between the two of us, and cards and postcards we had written between the two of us over the course of our 4 year relationship. :)

Goodbar some evidence like that might be something you could look into
