Hi!

We filed today for AOS, EAD + AP.

Couldn't find another thread for this months filers, so thought I would start one (let me know if there is another one!)

Looking to hear from other people who have also filed or will file this month.

All the best!

Hello All,

Sent I-485 with I-131 and I-765 on Saturday; received e-mail notification this morning with Receipt No assigned. Previously (June 2013) my husband filed I-130.

Let's see how long it will take. Although I am enjoying being a full time mom for my two kids, I am ready to do something more than catering to my family basic needs and being the most active member of parent association at my kids' school.

As of now, I-131 and I-765 show initial review in case status; I-485 at acceptance stage.

Good luck everyone!

June 2013 - I-130 sent from overseas

January 2014 - applied for AOS/AP/EAD

March 2014 EAD/AP and I-130 approved

May 2014 - AOS approved

It shows Initial Review status of Jan 3 for EAD/AP

Is it normal for it to show the different statuses? How long does it take to switch to Initial Review for AOS? After biometrics?

I wouldn't say normal but it is a common occurrence, many applications that I have read about have stuck on Acceptance for the I-485 for the entire process right up until getting their Green Card as the online system often isn't updated so I wouldn't worry about that at all.
