Oh my goodness I had no idea there was a thread for AOS for April filer's so glad I found this. Sent my son's I130, I485 and I765 off on April 17, he received his biometrics on May 6 and we just got the EAD approval letter in the mail today I am so glad and relieved to know this process is starting to look like it is moving along again. Waiting over a month not hearing anything is normal, I know, but still it is nerve wracking.

haha, that's so cool! I got my Biometrics done on May 6th as well, and today June 29th, I received my EAD approval letter congrtas !

Have any April filers that had an RFE received their EAD yet?

I had an RFE and received my EAD last Friday.

So I called USCIS today to see if I could get an update. The woman on the phone still could not tell me anything about my RFE that I sent back roughly a month ago but she did say that once they receive the RFE your case starts over from day one and that I shouldn't expect an EAD card for at least another month. Bummer, right? Well right after I got off the phone I decided to check the mail and sure enough my EAD approval letter was there. How horribly organized must USCIS be if they can't even properly document cases so that when someone calls for an update they're not fed wrong information?

AOS received 4/11/15

Biometrics 5/5/15

RFE 5/11/15

RFE response 5/28/15

EAD approval letter 6/29/15

I am sorry that you missed your biometrics appointment. It was good that you called yesterday and was able to speak to a Tier 2 officer. It is really frustrating when you are waiting for something and then not receiving it! I'm glad they were able to tell you what happened to your appointment and that they are doing something about it. Hopefully you'll get your biometrics appointment soon and will be able to receive it and that the process will move faster after that.

Yes I hope so to. My husband just says..."Relax and enjoy your vacation ..better things come to those who PATIENTLY wait"..lol. he has much more patience than me ... It DID take a full year for our K-1 approval ...

[cheesecake_A+J 7]

Our husbands who are patient are very helpful during this process. My husband doesn't even ask about it unless I update him. It's not that he doesn't care. He just knows something will come in the mail and just waiting calmly. When it will be is what I am anxious about. I understand your frustration, but yes let's try to enjoy our "vacation."

Good things come to those who wait is also what I tell my wife. She has become more patient with the AOS/EAD/AP process since our K-1/K-2 visa case was wrapped up in late January. I'm sure you will receive a notice soon and the process will go as seamless possible!

Hang in there, all the best.
