Card/ Document Production

On November 9, 2013, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

I'm guessing the card is also advanced parole card... Which can be used for re-entry into the US?

Thanks

We have same status!!

Cool.

I heard there are couple of mails likes this sent out to applicants before the actual card arrives.

If you also filed AP with EAD/I-765 it is likely you will receive the combo card. It takes about a week from card production notice (there will be 2 or 3 more notices) until you receive it. Time to apply for a job!

Did you apply for advance parole?

[Mo007 3]

Did you apply for advance parole?

No.

But I read on USCIS website the following:

The new EAD card will include text that reads, "Serves as I-512 Advance Parole". A card with this text will serve as both an employment authorization and Advance Parole document.

To me, It sounded like the combined the benefits into 1 card? no? Should I have filed it separately?

This is the link from the USCIS page:

I may add... To qualify for the combined benefits:

You need to file an Application for Employment Authorization, Form I-765, and an Application for Travel Document, Form I-131, concurrently with or after filing an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. You must file the Forms I-765 and I-131 at the same time in order to receive an EAD and Advance Parole card. Please ensure that you enter your name and address identically on Forms I-765 and I-131 that you file concurrently in order to receive the new card.

That's exactly what I did.

[Lainie B 465]

If you filed form I-131 with I-485 and I-765, then yes you did apply for advance parole, and yes the EAD card will serve as AP.

So I'm a bit confused, you said no you didn't apply for AP, but then you said yes you did file I-131.

So I'm a bit confused, you said no you didn't apply for AP, but then you said yes you did file I-131.

Actually I applied I-130 separetly, and while it was still pending, I applied for I-485.

On my I-485 application, I included a copy of my my pending I-130 application notice and a new EAD application. This is considered a concurrent filing also, since my I-130 application is not yet approved. No AP application was filed at all.

But under the new guidelines, I-485 and I-130/I-131 concurrent filers who filed for EAD would automatically get the new EAD cards that has the "Serves as AP" feature on it.

Unless I completely got the above wrong.

I-130 is not the same as I-131.

If you did not apply for the AP (I-131) then you will not get AP. SImple as.

The card production you just got must be your EAD. EAD only, no combo.

[Lainie B 465]

Since you didn't file the I-131, then you'll need to wait for your green card before you can leave the US

Oh snap!

Oh well. Have no plans to travel for another 6 months. Hopefully I don't have to be worried about AP by then.

Thanks!

Ah well, fingers crossed you get an interview date soon, and good thing you don't have to leave the US for now.
