I am in Albany, ny. Weirdly online it looks like it is behind! I am so incredibly happy as we just had our first child and I really want to be able to bring him home for Christmas .

My ead and ap have still not moved at all since 9/17.

Wow. That's really quick. I am in Cohoes (Albany County). Congrats in the progress.

My EAD was mailed yesterday and today they updated the status with the tracking number. I tracked it down and it is already at my local post office to be delivered today.

FYI, it was sent via USPS Priority Mail 2-Day with a $100 Insurance included.

Good luck!!!

Congrats! Lol I think I should be complaining more then haha maybe we would get an update on our case. Still nothing so far...

We are a few days a head of you and no update for our case either.... Flying through the K-1 process and now dragging through AOS... I guess it all balances out in the end. We only want the EAD/AP card, the GC can take its sweet time.....

hello everyone. i too is a september filer and I've been reading and following all your post and your answers, i just haven't had the chance to post anything and this will be my first. this is my story…...

Im a transgender woman (Male to Female) holding a student visa but is married now to an American citizen ( yes its now legal for same sex marriage in california). at first i have doubts if ill be receiving the same procedure/process with the green card application as with the heterosexual marriage knowing that in my birth certificate and all my legal documents says MALE but my CA drivers license is now a FEMALE since I've been undergoing hormone replacement therapy but after researching and reading different blogs and post and consulting an LGBT immigration attorney, WE now have equal rights when it comes to Green card Application which made me very excited. We got married Feb of this year and been very happy ever since but we didn't get the chance to submit my paperworks because of his Income tax returns, he owns his own business and have a very bad history with it, he haven't filed his taxes since 2010 because of the bad economy. after knowing this i felt like the chances of me getting a green card is vague but then again i never lost hope…. i did my research and ask my lawyer friend is also an LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) advocate on what should we do and she said not to worry because all we need is a JOINT sponsor, after that i was so relieved and i immediately asked my sister who is working as a nurse and also an american citizen to be my joint sponsor and she said without hesitance YES. so after that i gathered all my paperworks, did my physical exam, filled up necessary paperworks…… and then finally after everything is done and after we saved the money for the application we finally sent and this is my time line

Welcome and congrats!! Glad your process is going fast! Hope you get your EAD/AP soon

[pro_star 52]

Dang...I did biometrics on the same day as you. Still no movement on the ap/ead but the 485 is now in "testing and interview" (waiting for that notice in the mail now I guess)

Wonder if they'll have me do the interview same place as I did the biometrics? Cause that at least was closer to hubby's work...

i can't believe it either, i was expecting that they are going to ask for more evidence but they didn't… one thing also is i don't check my status every day because its gonna make me paranoid and i just try to forget it sometimes. you will have yours too in a timely fashion girl just relax and you will see progress soon *praying4u*

Good news for the I-485! Yes your interview will be at the same place you had your biometrics

my biometrics is 2 hours drive and IF i only knew that they will accept walk ins i should have just done it earlier but then again I'm not complaining. i talked to my lawyer friend and she said it will depend on which is the nearest USCIS office you at for the interview.

[pro_star 52]

Yeah at least my biometrics was only a 45 minute drive. Could be worse. Like I said, just hoping it's the same place for the green card interview cause then it'll be easier for hubs to attend.

[icebryker 21]

Early walk in biometrics done. USCIS personnel at Latham were really nice and friendly. Was done in less than 15 minutes.
