Something strange just happened - without any notifications at all - I just typed in my case number on the USCIS website and my I-485 has been moved to Testing and Interview. I wonder why I'm not getting any SMS/e-mail notifications. hmmm..

We ask to expedite EAD today, I don;t know it will work, but it was very nice talk, and they say they will do whatever they can to speed up the process.

We still didn't get the NOA2, with the interview details. I'm kinda nervous, especially that's only 3 weeks left!

Tormentis, stop worrying. You have so many days to go before your interview. If you don't receive it next week - just call them and have them fax it over. It's going to be a breeze. I still have not gotten my interview date.. Not sure what's going on, but don't really care because EAD was expedited and I am all good. Out traveling again but once I'm back - starting my new job. ;)

Thank you so much.

Yeah I'm freaking out a little, looking on other people's timelines and checking my mailbox all the time. If they can fax it, that's not a problem, you are right. I was just afraid that we would miss our interview or reschedule or something if we didn't get the letter.

urgh..so I contacted my local congressman last Wednesday & faxed in the supporting documents to her for my expediated EAD processing. I called her today and she said that they've initiated an inquiry with USCIS on my behalf on 20 August but there's no update yet.

I checked my status on USCIS and there's no change. I just got off the phone with USCIS, and apparently, there isn't and expedite request put in? I think I was speaking with a Tier 1 IO, and he put in a request for me. But when I asked if he needs any supporting document, he said that there isn't any need for supporting documents as USCIS will not be processing it..?

Just feeling a little anxious right now..should I call USCIS again and speak with a Tier 2 IO? And if so..how do I go about doing it?

10 July 2014 (Day 1): I-485, I-130, I-131 I-765 mailed to Chicago Lockbox.

15 July 2014 (Day 5): Email & SMS Notifications from USCIS for each form filed.
18 July 2014 (Day 8): All 4 NOAs received in mail
1 August 2014 (Day 22): Completed walk-in biometrics successfully
13 August 2014 (Day 34): I-485 moved to Testing and Interview
19 August 2014 (Day 40): Reached out to congressman's office to request for expedited EAD based on job offer
25 August 2014 (Day 46): Called USCIS's office to put in request for expedited EAD processing
26 August 2014 (Day 47): Congressman's office called and informed that I-131 post decision activity, I-765 card/document production (successful expedite request)

28 August(Day 49): USCIS ordered production of I-765 EAD

6 September 2014 (Day 58): Received EAD/AP combo card
