For now we are just waiting for the EAD card, I hope its soon.

Our timelines are almost the same. I guess and I hope we have our eads at the same time as well...

Fingers crossed and Good luck.. Keep us posted

I am very impressed that some people have had such progress in their cases--congratulations!!

Our local office is NYC and I've heard that it can take up to 3.5 months to receive my husband's EAD (WE HOPE NOT!) and up to 6 months until we have our interview. This seems much longer than everyone else. Any others with NYC as their local office?

I feel you, I'm also filing from NYC and heard that the processing times are very long here. The cool thing is that I submitted my package only a few days before you did, so our general timeline should be similar. You're not alone! I keep checking my case status every hour, not expecting to see any changes. I bet when I finally see an update, I'll have a heart attack or something, haha!

Try to lie to myself million time that people file from NYC would have the same processing time with the other states, took my downtime at work these days studied some of VJers who filed from NYC, I see it is slower/longer waiting time, guess it's because the local offices are receiving large numbers of applicant so they keep pushing the interviews on a later date, I might get wrong, and I hope I am wrong! Good luck guys!

Unfortunately, it is slower but I am hoping it is not as slow as my lawyer recently told me it is! (The estimates he gave us in the beginning were shorter than they are now.)

Good luck to you.

Congrats on the interview date!

I think we're the only Tampa people in this thread. When I checked the processing times on the USCIS site, it says as of June 30th, they were through 485's as of December 7th. Seems like we're in for a bit of a wait, with or without the RFE!

Check this out, this could be the standard NYC EAD approval time frame, "muss82" #459 of the thread. He/she has received NOA on 7/1, done Bio on 7/21, then got EAD approved on 8/27, which turns out 6-8 weeks processing time from NOA1, VJ estimated time is between September 6, 2015 and September 10, 2015, actual a week ahead. Not too bad

I will keep digging the EAD and Interview waiting time from previous filers, see how it go.

Good luck and stay close.

filed in nyc my ead got approved around the 6weeks mark. however, it seems like we will wait a long time for the rest of the process.

Good to know (about the EAD).

Is it difficult finding a job with the EAD? Are companies typically familiar with this process?
