Is the USCIS playing with my anxiety? :huh:

- On the 5th, I got an email saying my AED was approved, and moved to Card Production.

- On the 8th, I got the same email.

- Earlier this morning, they said my card was mailed today, and

- just now I got another email saying it was approved, and moved back to Post Decision.

:protest:

Don't worry!

USCIS said to us to not pay attention to the online status very much.

They have problem with the system obviously.

Just check out your mail box every day and call if necessary.

It will be fine.

Thanks, Tormentis! I just hate this waiting and not knowing for sure part.

I know for sure my husband and I passed it. But the fact that we do not know when we will be issued the OFFICIAL approval is sooo frustrating!!!!!!

Anyway, good luck on your upcoming interview! Let us know how it goes :)

Today, I received an update stating that our i-130 is approved as well as the EAD and AP.

However, i-485 changed to "initial review". Shoot, this makes me so worried!!!!!! :huh2:

Thank you, we are sooo nervous!

Don't worry about your online status, your EAD is approved, it's good, you can apply for jobs and stuff.

Don;t worry, you passed it. Remember it's a WAITING game :)

Patience is the most appreciate virtue at this point ;)

It'll be fine!

Congrats, Gabby!

How long did you have to wait until you heard from USCIS after the interview? Our interview was 2 days ago and there was not any final decision made since they still had to request for my A file from Nebraska. However, they have already approved our i-130.

I'm going crazy constantly checking my online status :(

I'm only on day 44 since my package was received so I know I shouldn't be so surprised that I'm still at "initial review"
