Just wanted to let you guys know that we received texts that my husband's I-765 and I-131 were approved today! It's a step in the right direction! :) However, some of the gold members of this group have mentioned that these approvals are "routine" and they have no bearing on the final decision for the Greencard. However, every bit of good news helps, right? This is actually moving pretty quickly, especially because everything was delayed with the RFE request. I'll continue to keep you posted. Stay hopeful, everyone! :)

Congratulations and yes every little step passing by is great news, I was happy when I got my NOA lol, wishing you good luck!!

@lkychmz - That's so great that you were able to get your biometrics done early and easily!

My timeline is saying that we received the I-765 and I-131 approval in 68 days. It would've been faster if we didn't have to deal with the RFE, which took another month because we had to wait for my sponsor's 2013 tax returns. I'm going to be watching the updates like a hawk, though, because I don't want to miss anything regarding the interview. I know it's rare, but I've read nightmare stories about members not receiving their interview appointment notices in the mail and getting denied because of it!

Hi, guys! Just a little update - I received a text on May 16th, 2014 that the EAD card was sent on and we were given a tracking number. The notice said that if the card isn't received in 7 days, we need to contact the office. How fast and cool is that???

Now.... if I could only get an interview date!!! ;-)

Got a text at 4:15am (LOL - most of my texts from the USCIS come around this time) that our AOS interview has been scheduled for July 1st, 2014 and that the letter with details has been sent today. I'm so happy with the speed of how things are moving, especially with the RFE setback that pushed us back a month and the fact that I'm in Los Angeles where the immigration rate is so high!

@kcsjoseph - I see that your status progressed to interview and testing! That's so great your application is progressing quickly too!

@lukychmz - how are things with you? If you include your progress in your signature, we'll be able to keep up with you. :-)
