I think the "initial review" stage is pretty meaningless. It seems like the website hardly ever updates. I've finally stopped logging in every day. :)

I've read about folks getting their EAD expedited due to a job offer. You may want to give that a try if you're at risk of losing the offer:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/453753-how-to-request-to-expedite-your-ead-based-on-a-job-offer/

please check this link for expedite EAD it helped me a lot :) it does not hurt to ask for it, just give it a try, explain exactly what you wrote here, remember you are going to need a letter from your employer as the evidence, if you dont have one it might be difficult to get approved (that's what I read on a lot of threads in VJ)

Good luck and let us know!

How is everyone doing? what do you do to not go crazy while you wait more updates on your case? :girlwerewolf2xn:

I am back in training season and so far I have 3 races in my calendar: half marathon Nov 22, Marathon Jan1st and another Marathon on Jan18. I might run a few 5K's and 10K's along the way. This will be my 8th half marathon and 6th full marathon. I run 4 days a week and cross train in between but some days I do double workouts, that is I do resistance workout before my run. I also incorporate swimming which helps with recovery as a non impact workout. After our vacation when we ate all over the place, I am back to my Paleo lifestyle which goes perfectly well with my very active days of training. Sweating my butt off definitely keeps my mind busy from obsessing about USCIS updates. I do still check the website every morning while I have my coffee and open the mailbox with a bit of excitement.

Let me share my races bling with y'all

I wonder how long the average is before we all get our interview dates? I hit testing and interview on June 26th. I'm hoping I get interviewed in August. My husband is a teacher and it would be nice to avoid him having to take a personal day the first week of September... But as they say "Murphy's law"... :P
