Being on of the early approvals I decided to keep you guys updated on the different steps. This is not meant to gloat, but I figured that maybe some of you would be interested in the messages you can expect from the USCIS website.

03-22 I-485 card in production (approx 10 AM)

03-22 I-485 Petition approved (approx 7 PM)

Woke up this morning with a text that my case has been scheduled for an interview. But what are the chances, it's been scheduled right in the middle of when we've planned our honeymoon. It's a non refundable 6000 dollar trip!! I can reschedule the interview right? And also my EAD and ap don't have any news on it.. Does this mean that I won't get them or will they be approved later today? Im so nervous right now I could throw up, what are the chances of the interview being right in the middle of our honeymoon, I can't believe it.

Congratulations for allt his approval!!

This is great!

So, I will write the timeline for the EAD approval

3/17(same day): Status changed to "Case was approved"

3/21: Status changed to "Your card was mailed to you"

3/21:Received in the mail the approval notice for the combo card AP/EAD

3/22:Status changed to "Your card was picked up by USPS" (last change) they also give you a tracking number

My EAD is arriving tomorrow. They mail through 2 days priority. They actually mailed it on the 22nd.

Ouch that hurts. Yes you can reschedule and yes you'll probably wont get the EAD/AP.

Case being ready for interview does not mean an interview notice will show up immediately - it could take months. So do not despair. On top of that, there are cases with that status update still getting interview waivers.

My case status hasn't budged.

They do have an actual interview date, but granted it could still be approved without an interview.

BTW, you may want to check those Newark times anyway (I just did and they are not bad at all)

Well, the official processing times show them working on AOS cases from July/August 2015. :) A few VJ timelines from the last 6 months show quick approvals, the remainder are still waiting or not updated. We shall see - as I have no idea where the case is, any kind of estimate is bound to be unreliable.

As long as the EAD shows up soon...

I figured we old TSC K-1 victims where due for some good luck. Halls- und Beinbruch! :dancing:

Amen to that.

The TSC time was bad as we had to be away from our loved ones - but my job back then kept me distracted. Now we are together but I have way more time to dwell on the waiting being forcibly unemployed lol. Swings and roundabouts! :)

Being on of the early approvals I decided to keep you guys updated on the different steps. This is not meant to gloat, but I figured that maybe some of you would be interested in the messages you can expect from the USCIS website.

01-29 I-485 fingerprint fee accepted

03-22 I-485 card in production (approx 10 AM)

03-22 I-485 Petition approved (approx 7 PM)

01-29 I-131 NOA-1

01-29 I-765 NOA-1

You got amazing response time from USCIS. We have the same NOA yet you got yourself the green card already.
