do you mean Infopass? I think I should do that too. I'm one of those missing-address victim and we just did our biometrics last week on the 15th.

I meant a Service Request on the USCIS website (https://egov.uscis.gov/e-Request/Intro.do). You can file a service request once your EAD has been pending for more than 75 days. I just did that today myself. If I don't hear anything back within a week, I will be making an infopass appointment. At that point I will be at 90 days since they accepted my AOS/EAD/AP.

I just got my combo card today in the mail that I have been expecting to receive last week and it seems it has been misplaced somewhere in USPS while on its way, I am glad it was not completely lost and they have been honest to stamp it on.

I see, thanks for the explanation. It's been 81 days for me, so I think I'll go ahead with either info pass or service request soon.

It's really interesting to see how they managed to put a group of applicants' address into a black hole which cost us many weeks of delayed processing.

So another update for our case. We got approved via interview on Friday as I mentioned in the last page, got the EAD/AP combo card on Saturday (which we saw was approved online on April 11), and today we got the EAD/AP approval notice in the mail telling us to expect our card soon. Bureaucracy...but at least progress has been made. Can't wait to get that green card in our hands!

Hello!

This morning I woke up and I received an email saying they set my interview!! It is for May 25!!!

Cant wait!!!

That's awesome :)

we have same No1 date, I wonder if someone is working on my case as well, although I am praying for no interview :luv:

On another note, how long after the "card was mailed" update did you guys receive EAD/AP card? EAD keep changing status but AP is still stuck on Case was approved, is that normal? will it still be a combo card?
