So, In Dec. 2015 we filed my AOS and did my biometrics in January 7. Today, I checked my online status and it says "On February 11 we ordered your new card for receipt xxxxxxxx, and will mail it to the address you gave us."

Does this mean my AOS has been approved w/o interview? My EAD and AP has no updates at all.

If it is approved, how long before I get the green card on hand and am I okay to start a job w/ green card and w/o the EAD? Again, Thanks to you all in advance!

Warm Regards

Yes, Congrats!

The status will update when they mail the green card and then again when it's delivered. The EAD/AP are obsolete once you receive your green card.

You can start applying for jobs. You just will need to provide evidence (i.e. copy of your green card) of your legal status once you accept a job. You'll also need an SSN which you can get by bringing all your docs to the SS Office. If you already have one, you will need to go to the SS Office and update your status by providing a copy of your green card.

Congrats! You have been "hit by lightning too"

In a few days you will see it change to "Card has been Shipped".

The cards are mailed via USPS 2nd day. 2 Days later you will get a notice that it has delivered with a link to the tracking number with USPS.

Our AP is still hanging out there. Our EAD was denied... that was the first notice I read and about died until I saw that the GC was being made.

Like our situation, no "Approval" notice was provided on AOS. We may still get the formal action in the mail.

We can now plan our life and freely go back to Vietnam to get my wife's son.

8/24/2015: NOA2 Shipped to Department of State (DOS) - National Visa Center (NVC)
9/1/2015: NVC Received NOA2 Package and have assigned a Case Number!

9/28/2015: Medical Exam - Took 3 days... Cho Ray is a mess. Vaccinations delayed until passing Interview because of shortage of vaccinations in Vietnam
10/7/2015: Interview at Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and APPROVED!!!!
10/22/2015 K1 Visa in hand. Son's K2 visa only valid for 6 months (W-T-F-?) Thought good for 1 year. Inquire at consulate and told visa good only as long as the medical which is 6 months K2 VISAS NOT GOOD FOR 1 YEAR AS ADVERTISED ON DOS WEBSITE!
10/29/2015 POE Chicago; Easiest pass through for Linh in her 4 previous entries.
11/2/2015: Not tuned in enough to Social Security not to pick "the first day of the month" to try to get signed up. Read VJ advice, it's spot on, we had a processor who knew K1. We were in the SAVE database in 3 days so it was easy after a 2 hour wait.
