Thank you!

Thank you, jbmayala!

I had a similar thought about the service request: what if a service request actually slows you down because they were about to work on your file and then somehow the service request makes it "stall" for that moment. The lady I spoke to did not even give me a choice, just said I can call back.

Yes, it is nice to know there are more in this waiting game :)

did the operator tell you about this ead valid for 244 days ?

Hi vitoralves, she just said that after the 90th day it would be out of the regular processing time and they'd make one out valid for 244 days. I had never heard of this so this gave me a little more relief to know at least by then something will happen.

She did not say anything like that, no. To be honest, she did not give any extra information other than what I already knew, except for the "75 days not applicable to cases like mine (AOS)." I hope they do something about your service request soon!

Since I have the feeling that my EAD will pass the 90 day processing time, I already scheduled an infopass appointment for the day after that (day 91).

If by a miracle I receive the EAD before that, I will just cancel the appointment

I don't know where you guys get your information from but you shouldn't be too quick to say what's real information and what not..

If USCIS does not make a decision on your I-765 within 90 days, (30 days for Asylum applicants), you may request an Interim EAD. The interim EAD can be granted for a period up to 240 days.

My mistake, 240 not 244.

Anyway, hopefully your EAD gets to you before that.. if not, you will get your interim one from your local office or by calling customer service.

You understood wrong. I said that the wrong information was what the person from the costumer service told Pickle, that the 75 day didnt count for i-485

That's great, congrats! I have the same question, did you have an interview? What visa are you adjusting from? :time:, we would like to see how your case progressed, and it helps the stats for future filers :)

Update!! Had my interview today at New Orleans Office at 10:20. Showed up at the place where the interview was scheduled in Metairie( 2424 Edenborn Ave) 10 mins early just to go up to third floor and see that the offices have been moved to Poydras Ave deep in New Orleans. My wife and I jumped in the truck and "rushed" to the new office. Close to the Superdome oh what a joy traffic was. We made it 10 mins after the official time and checked in. We placed appointment letter at window the guard instructed us to. The IO came out shortly (idk how she knew) however she called my name after 2 mins in waiting room. We went in and were sworn in immediately. Here are interview details:

She double checked my answers on my I-485 application. Asking me full name, DOB, address basically everything on the 485 sheet.

She then if that was my signature on the 485. She did that same thing for the 130 for my wife.

She then asked if we had any more documentation showing more commingling however we did not. We had no bills no lease agreement nor insurance policies. We did provide a photo book of us throughout the years.

She asked a few non personal questions: how did we meet? Where did we meet? When did we decide to get married? Who proposed? She then started talking about me being approved for my green card throughout the conversation. She Said my card will be received in 30 days. Told us about the conditional timeline of the green card and when to file update.

We were out in less than 10 mins total from swearing in to leaving out the door. On the way back to our car I received update through email saying case was updated. I am soooooo happy. Waiting on tracking number now and glad this is over in less than 3 months.
