After literally a week of going through hell (a family member took their own life, and we had to deal with it) and back in Oregon, we get home to San Diego to find that both my Advanced Parole and Work Permit/EAD have arrived in the mail last night. Time to finally sign my employment contract, apply for a social security number so I can pay my taxes and get a California drivers licence.

I'd be celebrating if it wasn't so bittersweet.

I had my interview on Friday, and I think it went well. The officer told me that they will do a security check and get me approved if everything goes well. Has anyone experienced that? I don't even know what all this is about. He only gave me a note stick on which it was written that I have to apply for a new green card within 90 days before the one I will be receiving expires. I am kind of stressed because a lawyer on avvo.com told me that security checks can take months or even years.

KASH2011,

I don't even know whether my request to adjust my status was approved or not

He only gave me a note stick on which it was written that I have to apply for a new green card within 90 days before the one I will be receiving expires.

This is a tell tell sign! You would not be reminded about removing conditions... if you had not been approved! just keep checking you email and USCIS updates... :)

November group, a little help please for February filing group.

You are all familiar with the standard posting on the 'Case Status' section of the USCIS website which says: (and similar wording regarding the I-130, 131, 485)

"On February 3, 2015, we received your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization , Receipt Number MSCXXXX, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by March 5, 2015, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

My question is: What will be the next wording that shows up here?

We got the Biometric appointment in US Mail, and understand now that this never shows up in the Case Status section.

Will nothing change until 'Ready for Interview' or will something appear before then ?

Thanks for your help. Leo

KASH2011,

Oh thank you. I was so stressed. Do you know how long (approximately) it will take to get my card?

Thank you again

You should receive mail containing your card in less than 2 weeks!

How soon did you guys get your SSN after applying for it? I applied for it 3 weeks ago on Monday, so next week will be the 4th week. I was told it could take up to 4 weeks, but I didn't assume I still wouldn't have it after 3 weeks. Is it really like that?
