We are back from our interview with ... <drum roll, please> ... an RFE.

Waw waw.

It seems my penchant for beating deadlines (I'm a writer) has caught up with me. Not all of our paperwork has (somehow) made it from POE to Spokane. It's kind of baffling, considering Oroville and Spokane are only a 4.5-hour drive apart.

In any case, I have to do the medical all over again and we're sinking another $215 (at minimum) into the process.

Otherwise, Officer St. John (Jean?) was lovely. She only confirmed the information on my I-485 application and confirmed a series of questions from the DS-260. She asked us nothing personal and didn't ask for any evidence of our relationship.

I am approved, pending a new medical.

Do not, however, take this as gospel for your own interview. Be prepared for the worst, leave happy if no questions are asked.

72 or 73 was the lucky day for me. Hopefully you won't have to call but here you go: http://www.uscis.gov/forms/tip-sheet-employment-authorization-applications-pending-more-75-days

The names on EAD and Social Security Card are supposed to match. So if you have your EAD in your married name, you gotta go back first to the SSA office and request a new SSC.

"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."

I have the same question in mind. So does it mean you can't start working until your SS card matches your EAD?

[bobela 2]

Hi. It hits 78days from my noa1 date.

I just called USCIS to request an inquiry for my EAD (http://www.uscis.gov...ng-more-75-days). So we will see if it works or not.

They asked me bunch of questions such as my case#, phone#, address, name, e-mail address and so on.

And I was told that i should call them back if I still don't hear anything in 30days.

All we can do is just waiting i guess!

I just called USCIS to request an inquiry ! I hope i can hear something soon too!

Hi there, it's been 77 days now for my EAD APPLICATION that's why gave it a shot and called USCIS earlier. The representative whom I talked to created a service request for my application.

I was wondering, did you receive anything on your email after you call them?

Based on the research I have done, it depends on the employer. But since there is a background check done to verify data about the immigrant, I would think some problems could arise if names on EAD and SSC do not match. Your SSN is yours forever, but now it is still associated with you maiden name. I will start working once I receive my SSC in my married name.

I called yesterday for the same reason, I received an email this morning that was just a transcript of the service request to confirm it.

Well, that's a bummer. But also, YAY!

As always, this process doesn't disappoint in being an emotional roller coaster.
