June 2014 AOS filers

[Lights 56]

Love checking in on this thread... I'm a July filer (NOA 1 on July 15) and it helps me see where the progress is. Hopefully I'm just a month behind some of you and I can expect my interview letter and/or EAD/AP soon.

Best wishes to you all in your journey.

EAD switched to Card/Document production, but my AOS is still on "Acceptance". Glad something is moving forward, though.

Is the USCIS Online Status Check Website down for everybody or is it just not working for me?

!!! the online status changed to interview scheduled: september 22 !!! It say they mailed out a notice with instructions yesterday, aug 19.

Also my EAD online status now displays USPS tracking info with a direct link showing the progress. Expected delivery tomorrow. Very convenient USCIS!!

My AP still is awaiting card production.

I have a funny story to share with you all from earlier today. The people who noticed my earlier post I seemed, somewhat at least, upset with the USCIS and the processing time/s for everyones cases as well as my own. Today my patience hit rock bottom. Pulled out all the papers, picked up my phone and called 1 800 375-583 to begin my quest for some specific information. Roughly 60 minutes later, going through two, what seemed to be, Tier 1 USCIS employees before a warm, friendly, and young sounding voice started after a transfer from Tier 1 to Tier 2. This transfer did not come from the USCIS, I had to be very assertive about my request and only had this as my reason "I want more specific information regarding both my cases." Back to the friendly USCIS Tier 2, this guy started off by asking general questions about my petition, got me up to speed with what was going on and where it was in the process - I did not have to ask for this either! - before he politely asked what he could help me with. I took out my paper with questions that I had in mind that would be specific but not too specific for him so he probably could answer them. This on the other hand resulted in him telling me that someone had my case, my RFE was received and in the system, and that my EAD was assigned to someone as well. He tried to see if mine was outside the normal processing times by running some queries in the system. He informed me that everything seemed to be in order and that everything should be processed within the given timeframe, yes the one that we all know of so well - 75 days before requests and 90 days or less to be approved. He cracked some more jokes about Sweden and tried to speak Swedish with me. Yes, I taught the guy how to say "Thank you and have a nice day" before hanging up the phone. According to him my EAD could be approved tomorrow, monday or next week, or who knows - his exact words.

Three hours later I received a notice from USCIS that my EAD was in production. I do not know about you guys but it seems a little too perfect to be a coincidence. However, no one is happier than me.

I hope no one in the future gets their hope ups that this is a way of speeding things up. However, I encourage you to give them a call. This is America, when people call them up asking for people with power to get to the person who handles your case. Let's just say that "--it just got real" in the work place whenever that happens.

Au revoir!

EAD/AP In Production today.

How long does it take from date of ead card in production to card delivery?

Anywhere from 1 week to about a month!

I'm still waiting for hard copies of the NOA1s! The service requests were all logged and the operator said 15-30 days to receive them. A friend of mine had the same problem that his hardcopies were undeliverable but he got his the following week after logging a service request. If they don't turn up in the mailbox by Tuesday, then I will ring them as it will have been 4 weeks by then.

On the other hand, congrats to everyone getting EAD/AP approvals, seems that things are moving along now and gives me hope that mine will be approved shortly...My timeline estimate still says mid-September but maybe I will get lucky lol.
