Yay! Congratulations! Hopefully the card arrives soon! :)

Happy to report AP/EAD was approved! It was odd because I checked status on a Sunday thinking "Why am I checking on a Sunday?" And then the status said:

For AP: On July 12, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I131 APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For EAD:

Card/ Document Production

On July 12, 2014, 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.

Didn't know anything could happen on a weekend!

happy to hear the good news, congrats NikeS and Kessinger, I wish you success in your interview..

Congrats Davesings, Vjnew and subwayguy for case update to Testing & Interview

Americanlife, I dont think you can get back your money, I suggest you should try infopass, you need to speak with USCIS official in person, to know what is delaying your biometrics letter.

You don't have to get them from irs. When we filed , my partners tax transcript was not yet on IRS website. So we sent in his own copy (turbo tax ) together with whatever forms he filed tax with and that is acceptable.

It says explicitly on the instruction that your own copy is good enough.

Yes, the problem is I mailed a printed copy from Turbotax and I still got RFE, I just feel USCIS just want to frustrate me..so I needed to contact IRS for official confirmation page

Thank you! It's odd how many people have different trajectories. You are in testing and interview but no AP/EAD yet. We have AP/EAD but I485 status still says Acceptance and we have no idea if/when there will be an interview. Yes, call USCIS.

@NikeS I hope I updated my signature the right way @eeosas thanks to you both for welcoming me. On a side note, I kinda noticed that most people who filed thru the Chicago lock box their stuff has been expedited quicker.. meaning most of you guys are already on testing/interview. I hope Vermont can hurry up as well..lol

Mashwme you did a great job :)

Interesting thing though is if all the family based AOS were processed in NBC and then our local CIS offices as it ought to be, going by the times posted on uscis.gov, then we'd all wait longer than you guys. Vermont and Nebraska (which was where my application was forwarded initially) process I485 in 4 months but my local office does so in 7months.

The luck of the draw I guess.
