That was fast!!! Maybe mine will arrive shortly, our mail doesn't come til after 4pm.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised when I received the notification via USPS sayingt it was out for delivery (yes I signed up for text updates on USPS! lol). It was delivered just before 9 am. I guess it helps that we live right behind the P. O. A couple of hours later I also received an email/text from USCIS saying that it had been delivered, :dancing:

I am sure yours will be there Monday :clock:

OK, yesterday I had my interview (840am) and have been stressed since - No news or updates yet.

The interview was really intense and it was done together.

Everything went well until she asked us if we consummated the wedding.

We are of islamic religion and we cannot consummate until a certain time even if the legal court marriage is done.

I told her the truth - I could have easily lied by saying yes (because this question leads to asking about scars on the body, i know the scars too) but we have just not actually consummated yet.

We showed her the engagement/court marriage photos. She told me to name everyone in the pictures (like 30 people in the pics)

The only thing we have together is a bank account, on submission of papers the balance was 25$, so she said that is too low.

Luckily i had new statement with a much larger balance.

I took screenshots for Facebook/Instagram showing 'Married'.

we gave her our Whatsap/Skype communication log for 9 months which was 1576 pages originally (cut it to 25 pages each)

She said, they will notify us by mail with a decision (infact she even mentioned about 2 year later to file ROC - i dont know if that is a requirement to mention or a note to remain positive)

I am sure you'll receive your email/text confirmation soon! :) Don't lose hope and faith, even if you have to wait a little longer to get the good news :clock:

hey Fellow Jersian. Well, my case changed to Testing and Interview on May 5th. My EAD card went on production on May 29th. No interview date so fr and we both are gonna be scheduled by Newark Office.. idk how busy they are, but I'm sure we should be schedule in the same timeframe.. since our timelines are just like 2 weeks of difference.. i would say, you will get your EAD card somewhere in mid June.

So my EAD was flagged as undeliverable by USPS - I submitted my change of address but apparently they did not update it on time. It was sent back to them.

I called the USCIS costumer service line and they put a request to change the address - again and re-mail it. I am supposed to wait 30 days.

My interview is in two weeks, hopefully they will have updated my address by then and this does not happen with my green card.

Change of address is a fail.

I also changed but they still assigned my interview to my old address, which is 1200 miles away, so I had to cancel it. I've called many times and they confirm they updated my address, but even after they confirm, they sent the interview cancelation letter to my old address (unbelievable!).

I see that you also had your interview scheduled after your change of address. So, did they send the letter to your new address then?

Sorry to hear that about your EAD.

Well, I was fortunate that I got the interview date and location before I moved. I moved in town, so it is not a problem for me to keep the same appointment.
