Great news! I thought it was an April Fools joke, but I just got an email that my wife's cases were updated. The status for EAD says "Case Terminated Benefit Received by Other Means". Her AOS status says "New Card is Being Produced".

I can only assume her AOS has been approved without an interview!!! (and much much faster than we thought)

That is beyond incredible, especially because Dallas is one of the more backlogged offices. Major congrats!

K1, EAD/AP + AOS + ROC = 0 RFE's

 

Next step: Citizenship!

Did biometrics today, in and out in less than 10 min - Philly Drummond rd office basically empty. It would have been a decent day if I didn't get a notice of an RFE on the way when I got home....

Oh no! That's disapointing considering you were just done with biometrics.

I hope it's something small. Waiting for the letter is agonizing. Let us know how it goes.

For anyone who said they received text/e-mail when their status changed to approvals/interview ready... did you guys sign up on the USCIS website to receive them, or are these still updates being received via text/e-mail because of the form sent with your AOS packet? Because I filled out that form and did get all the initial texts/e-mails and was wondering if checking the USCIS website was even worth it if I'm going to be notified when it changes anyways.

The form sent with the packet is just to notify for r receipt of the packet and to assign the case numbers. Those that received case updates probably put those case numbers in to check or made a USCIS account to update them about the case status automatically.

I signed up on the USCIS website and I have been getting updates from there. You can sign up to get notifications or just check using your case number.

That is correct. The initial form just notifies you when they receive your packet. You have to sign up on the USCIS website for updates beyond receipt of the packet.

Your only notified by text email if you have a USCIS account that form you sent is only for the NOA

Hold onto your hat its going to be a bumpy ride!!

Great news! I thought it was an April Fools joke, but I just got an email that my wife's cases were updated. The status for EAD says "Case Terminated Benefit Received by Other Means". Her AOS status says "New Card is Being Produced".

I can only assume her AOS has been approved without an interview!!! (and much much faster than we thought)

damn that was quick!!! Congrats
