Quick Quesiton.....did most people receive their interview letter in the same letter as the EAD card? ....I ask because we didn't......just trying to see what the process for the GC has been post EAD...

I received the interview letter separate, and still haven't received my EAD yet, although it says it's being processed - I keep checking the website for tracking details, as many people have said that they will provide tracking once it's actually mailed.

Congratulations to everyone whose case is moving, and godspeed to those who are still waiting. Now I'm in the awaiting my card stage.

Hey guys, just got back into town, the interview went well will post my review after this.

Interview was scheduled for 8:30, we arrived at 7:50, went through security and showed the gaurd our interview notice. He instructed us on where to place it. We got called in at 8:40ish and we got in the elevator to leave at 8:58. Hubs was concerned cause some people that came in later than we did had gone in to interview. Our IO called us and walked us in, told us to remain standing while we took the oath.

Next she asked to see ID,then we went over the I-485, my name, address, phone number, yes and no questions. She did the same thing with the I-130. After verifying the information in the forms, she asked if we had a lease, we provided a notarized copy, she asked if we had a copy for our records,we said no, and she said she would make a copy, I thought that was nice, cause I hear some IOs, have you go out of the building to make copies. She asked if we had more recent bills, I provided and told her that I also have our wedding album, she flipped through and I commented. I also gave her our bank and credit card statements, she didnt want them cause we had submitted previous copies, she took them though.

Then she asked about our relationship, where did we meet, when, how, how long did we date, where did we go to, when we got engaged, when and where we were married. When did my husband move in, when did we move to our current house and if we've always lived together since we were married.

We answered her questions accordingly and at the end she said it all looked good, and we should get the GC in 1 to 2 weeks, she also said the I-130 approval notice might come before or after the GC. She explained that the GC would invalidate the EAD, so to cut that in half when I get the GC. She also said to update my employer, I asked if I had to always carry it with me and she said to make a copy, and to try to always carry it, but that most people don't. At this point she started to walk us out and I asked if we would get the Conditional GC and she said yes, and said to send a lot of information, so we dont have to interview again. She also said that they usually mail a reminder 6 months before your conditional GC expiration date.

That's all folks, just waiting on the website updates.

She did npt take my I-94, or my H1B I-94.

Congrats!!!!!

Just got notice of potential interview waiver case.I dont know should I be happy or not lol.

Waiting again for up to 6 months before my green card arrives??? I'd rather wait for 2 more months and go for an interview.

oh well....

Wow, a lot of progress!!! Congrats everyone. Also got my EAD and AP combo yesterday. At least now, I don't have a problem renewing my contract and I guess I can do some additional work now. Hmmm, I dont know how to tag people yet.

For those who still haven't heard anything...I'm still with cheering for y'all. Let's remain positive (I know it's hard).

Happy Hump Day!

Yes...once the status changes that your case is mailed, you will see in the status they also put a tracking #. within 2 days the card arrives at your home after that. They whole process moves fast once you see card production. Wish you the best in this journey

Just for comparison for others still waiting - I just received an email and several identical text msgs advising that my EAD card has been mailed! (See signature for time scale). The website has changed status and has given me a tracking number.

So glad that this is now on it's way! Hope my info gives others an idea of time frame if you're still waiting

Does anyone know if my AP will be attached to this card? As on the website it says that they have 'mailed me an approval notice' for the AP - I haven't received anything as yet, and others are talking about a 'Combi card'...

Thanks

One question

I will be applying with my married name so will they need my marriage certificate?

Do they keep the originals with themselves or just see it?

I took my passport, marriage license and EAD. I would take everything just in case.

They didn't take any of my originals.

Most people get the combination card- it is primarily EAD and it also serves as AP (it is just a line in the card that says "serves as I-512 Advance Parole"
