October 2014 Filers

[Nannana 0]

The National Benefits Center does not adjudicate those types of cases; that's why you don't find processing times on those forms. NBC only collect information about you and creates a file. They will forward your file to your local field office and the field office will make the final decision. If you want to check the processing time for your I-130/I1-485 you have to check your local field office's processing time.

Thanks for explaining this!

October 2014 Filers

Package (I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765) sent on 10/11

Received on 10/14

Biometrics app 11/12

No update since then

Day 70, no updates after doing biometrics. Will file a service request on day 75.

Does anyone know how to file an i765 service request? The case inquiry website does not have i765 in the list of forms.

Here you go, the page is at this link on the USCIS website....

[scclaire 3]

"If your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, has been pending more than 75 days, you may contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283 and ask that an Approaching Regulatory Timeframe “service request” be created. The NCSC will route the service request to the appropriate office for review. Please have your receipt number ready when contacting the NCSC".

Thanks! Any news on your end?

Not a thing.... 75 days is right before Christmas for me...

There's a semi reassuring flood of activity EAD wise for the Sept filers, but that's about it... I'll keep you posted- let me know what happens!

[redraidermty 3]

Quick question. The 75 days count start from the date they received the application or the priority date?

RE: redraidermty

The priority date and the received date should be the same. The countdown starts from the day that they received your application.

I'm not sure I've actually posted in this thread before, but my EAD and AP were approved today. I'm surprised they're working on a Saturday.

Glad to read that things are moving. Every day I wait for the mailman to deliver the interview office but nothing so far. It would seem that they wait almost to the last minute to update people on their EADs.

[scclaire 3]

I'll update my signature in a second, but wanted to let you guys know that my EAD was approved on Tuesday, but only just found out- hopefully I get it in the mail today

You should receive a separate email or text when they mail it. If you haven't had that, then it's very unlikely you'd receive it today.
