April 2015 AOS filers

[bluenight 4]

i did my biomertric a day before yours, and last week i got a mail told me that my EAD was approved, so hopefully you will recieve your approve notice this week, good luck

Welcome, Thokozile! I did my biometrics a week before you. It's good that they already received the RFE. I don't have my EAD approval yet, but I'm hoping for the approval either next week or 2nd week of July. The faster that it will be here, the better.

I took my wife/daughter in for their Biometrics on 5/18 and "nada" yet. Hopefully some news will come in the next 15 days or less?

I filed my application on the 14th, the NOA1 date is 04/17. So the 75th day is due today, and I just called to get a service request. I spent a good 15 minutes on the phone, but their system locked up and he said I should call again and talk to a different officer and re-do again. Which is fine, though. I'm on the phone with them right now.

Have any of you guys had any success talking to a tier 2 representative? If so, how?

So I asked about my I-485, and they said it is being processed on my local office, and they are processing I-485 from August/2014. She said it would take another 6 months to process. I think this is bologne a default answer... no accurate at all. The lady on the phone did not let me talk to a Tier2 officer for this reason, since they are still processing August/2014.

They also told me everytime when I called "3" times about not receiving my biometrics app letter after 6 weeks waiting that my inquiry did NOT warrant the request to speak to a Tier 2 officer..they had 30 days to reissue me a new app letter. ..so AFTER 8 WEEKS I called YET again and INSISTED yet again to please talk to a Tier 2 officer...so after begging pretty much she transfered me and the Tier 2 officer said my biometrics app letter was returned to them 6 weeks prior and has been sitting in my file and I missed my original Biometrics app by 3 days !!!!! So now I wait 2 weeks for another date. The officer said that this could've been avoided IF they would've transferred me on my 2 or 3 inquiry! !!!!!

The Tier 2 officer I had was great and sympathies with my frustrations and even though he told me what I DIDN'T want to hear he did steer me in a brighter direction..he expitidited the request for a rescheduled biometrics app...let's see what happens in "2 WEEKS"

So alright, I just learned something new. There is a topic showing how to get to a Tier 2. Just call the USCIS 1-800 number, and don't press any buttons. Then a spanish-speaker representative will pick up the phone. Then ask "english please", and she will transfer will ask a few questions, and confirm if that's what you need.

It worked for me! But here is the thing: The Tier2 officer just said about my I-131/I-765: "Oh we are still processing February/2015 cases, so you are a couple of months away."

And about my I-485 "No, nothing else is needed, everything going smooth. It is just a matter of time".

Come on now.

I hope so! That would be nice because I have a possible job opportunity. I also need it soon because if I don't get that job, my online profile for the other available jobs need me to check that I have a work authorization on the applications online. I can't proceed unless I have that checked.

I just can't directly send my resume. Thank you for the encouragement!

I'm sorry. :/ That's frustrating. Most March filers were already approved and some April filers so what was the officer talking about? I was on my day 75 yesterday. I tried calling, but I was having a hard time when I had to enter the receipt number. I just sent an online request. I'm not sure how effective that is, but I am just trying to patiently wait right now. Our timelines are close to each other and it seems that we should be receiving our approvals soon.

Eddy you right on point with this info...I did that and I spoke to a tier 2 agent....he researched my information and says my EAD is on its ways and that I can call them next week for a tracking number....hahahaha....my Biometrics was 12th of May,

[cheesecake_A+J 7]

I just finished talking to a tier 2 agent. Thank you, Eddy, for the "trick" on calling USCIS.

The agent just talked in English after I asked if I could talk to an English speaking agent. She was very nice and polite and she was apologizing that it was taking a while for her to enter my information. She said that it shows there that they already did a service request yesterday. I asked how long I should wait after the service request is done, and she said "30 days." They should have a reply in 2 weeks, but if I don't hear anything after 30 days, I should call them again. I asked about my AOS and she said that my local office is processing applications from September 2014 and she counted and said that I should expect something after 7 months. Well, it wasn't the best news, but at least they put in a service request for my EAD.
