I finally got my biometrics appointment for the 18th of this month. I think getting the congressman involved was what made the difference! So relieved that things are finally moving in the right direction ?

we got our biometrics letter last week for this week with the help of the Senator's office, thank God for them!! We tried to do a walk-in, but the mean lady turned us away, so we have to wait for the actual date :ranting: and to think if only we mailed the package a couple of days, maybe just one day earlier, we would not have been in this situation :(

After the whole nightmare TSC gave us, I really thought this part would be easier.....Now we wait...again :clock:

Hey y'all, we just got our I-797 today in the mail letting us know that my application for permanent residence has been approved!

No interview; I-485 receipt date was 27 Jan 2016, biometrics was done on 24 Feb 2016. EAD and AP are still on "Case Received", but I guess we don't need that now!

So, after I receive the actual GC (says in the NOA that it should be sent within the next 3 weeks), do I go back to Social Security and have my SSC updated/is there anything else I need to do?

Thank y'all! :dance:

Wow congrats on the little heo luoi!

I got the update via email and immediately ran out to the mailbox. It's there! Opened and see the EAD card DOESN'T include AP :cry:

So the AP must have a different expiration date then. And it could be just a sheet of paper instead of a card.

Hi. My ead/ap just got approved today. How many days til u get yours in the mail? Thank you!?

Can I ask is there anyone in this group that is not a k1 and is doing AOS. Thank you.

My EAD was approved on 03/30/16, status changed on 03/31/2016, card mailed on 04/01/2016, EAD received on 04/04/2016, BUT case status update on 04/01/2016 requesting RFE :( Hopefully it's something simple, already requested an Info Pass to take whatever paperwork they want. Our destination wedding is in 2 months and I need this to all be done and complete.. :)
