Hello May 2013 filers!

I just wanted to share the good news that, as of July 5th, USCIS has approved both my EAD and AP documents!! I am so thrilled -- especially since I'll be able to travel back to Canada for my sister's wedding at the end of next month.

I tried updating my timeline on VJ, but it wasn't accepting the dates I was entering in. I'll try to update later.

I did some tiresome work on the USCIS site by changing the last 3 digits and there are a number of May filers who have been given RFEs between May 8th and May 16th. I think 3 or 4. More May filers a

Hi GodsRule,

I had my biometrics done on June 6, and by July 2 my EAD/AP was approved. On July 11, I received the combo card in the mail. If this is the approval you are talking about, then I would anticipate approximately 30 days after you get your biometrics done will you receive the EAD/AP combo card. As for the green card approval, I have no idea -- I have the same question myself! I thought we would expect an interview date in the mail, but some have said due to a backlog many AOS cases are being approved for green card without the interview.

That sounds great. I can deal with that. Can't wait to get a job soon. Tired of staying at home all day.

Sjs89 do you have an idea how many years is the green card valid for? I heard they first give you 2 years then later 10 years. How true is that?

Ok thanks.

Yes, it is a 2yr greencard. However 90 days before it expires, you need to file more paperwork to remove conditions.

Sjs87.. BTW, good luck for your AOS interview. I have a 100% feeling that you will be approved. That's my birthday. They cant deny you on my birthday :rofl:

I should be hearing about my EAD in 2 weeks or so (I hope). I haven't heard anything from USCIS since we filed in late May.

Hi friends,

Had my AOS interview on 8/26 - approved on the spot, I-551 (temp. green card) stamped in my passport so I could come to Canada for my sister's wedding... the EAD combo card is deemed ineffective once you are approved & waiting for your green card (apparently, as we found out). So, if you have plans to travel around the time of your interview, ask about the I-551 and tell them why!

If you have any questions about the interview, private message me. Hoping everyone is doing well!

Is anyone doing AOS through the Nebraska Service Center? Our application was accepted on mid May and is still sitting at acceptance, biometrics were mid June.

My wife got her EAD, but we didn't do AP. She would like to go home for Christmas, but our lawyer said our application could be pending for several more months before an interview.

Just wondering if anyone had been approved for their green card through there yet.

Thank you.

Not sure if you both realise.. but this is the May 2013 thread. You may be looking for another May thread for 2014.

Wishing you both the best of luck thou...

If you check the AOS threads there may be more relevant information there for you to browse over at your leisure :)
