Hopefully some good news later this week.

So now we wait to see how long until we hear back from the RFE response that we sent back on March 4th.

Congrats!

I checked my case USCIS site this morning and got message "New Card is Being Produced!" Does this mean we are approved? without interview? SO unexpected!!! I also checked status of EAD and AP no update!. Can she travels to asia with this green Card? or she stills need AP card? I applied AOS in January 4th. Bio appointment Feb 8, walked in a day early.

Hi Check again, It might be the combo card that is being produced. USCIS issues EAD & AP within 3 months of filing.

GC would take a little longer.

Let us know if you checked the status for I485 or I765

ALSO - there are cases where i-485 was approved before USCIS approved EAD or AP. So, if it is showing "New Card is Being Produced!", you might be getting your GC.

GC allows you to travel as many times you want. Single international stay should be less than 365 days/ 1 year. And NO - she would not need AP or EAD for travel. After you get your GC, your EAD & AP are useless.

Thank you Abby, Yes i checked it many times and it is GC. I also checked AP and EAD case #'s with no update. I would like to thanks everyone who has helped me and Visajourney for creating this website with the steps outline that i can follow.

Awesome news! Once you have GC you are good. No EAD or AP needed.

For me, it is day 60 since NOA-1...

That's a wonderful news. We all will have an extra drink this weekend to celebrate your GC. Wish you good luck for future. Hope you make the most out of it.

Hi _ everything depend on field office. how fast / slow they process your information. NJ stays busy with applications - lots of applications. Since, almost all, marriage based cases need an interview, expect few months wait time before you get you GC. Which you will.

Also, national average for EAD - AP is currently around 85 days. You are well within that time frame.

Sit tight, you have your EAD/AP soon. GC could take a few more months. NJ field office moves a little slow, as there is always a good number of applicants waiting for their interview date. But rest assured, if you have proper documentation, you will get your GC, sooner or later.

That is not true. A large number of K1 visa holder get approved without interviews as they already interview in their home country. These cases typically process at the NBC and can take longer. There is no way of knowing which batch you are in but this "all marriage based cases need an interview" is not correct.

Where I am now if my case was received Jan 4th? Can I submit an inquiry now?

Almost All from EU countries do these days. Have seen few from UK getting GC without interview.

Yes, you are well over 90 days. please call uscis right away.

You are on day 78 or thereabouts. From day 75 onwards you can file a service request. Assuming you had no RFE. If you did, you are still within normal times.

No RFE's. Thank you both so much.?

We live in CT, but more close to NYC than Hartford. Some how they sent us to do Biometric in Westchester, New York. Since day one I sent AOS package, I always had the feeling of unsure all forms are properly completed/filled. We wish you all getting GC approval soon.
