Hello Fellow Visa Journey Members,

So we called USCIS in the morning and got a call back from Tier 2 a few minutes ago. All of our cases are still pending for processing. There has been no progress on any of them.

So we informed the officer that the last time we spoke with Tier 2(while opening a SR), we were advised that we should have our work permit by July 13th, 2016 but as of today the cases are still pending so what would you suggest we do?

The Tier 2 officer advised that we should wait for the Service Request response, which usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. So the earliest we can call and check will be July 14th.

We are currently on Day 89 since USCIS received our application and will reach Day 90 tomorrow.

In an attempt to further identify the possible causes of delay, we also asked the Tier 2 officer if the Biometrics have been cleared by FBI. She advised that the only information she can share is if i have attended the Biometrics appointment. The results and the followup process after that are just internal and she cannot provide any more information.

Disheartened with no good news, we completed our call.

Reading about success posts from fellow visa journey members got my hopes high but i guess, we just have to sit and play this waiting game. This entire process of over an year has tested us every step of the way with so many delays.

I just wish if god could have mercy on us and help us through this difficult path. Congratulations to all the recent approvals and good luck for the rest of the visa journey members.

Kind regards,

ConiMoni

Im sure you'll get an EAD approval by mid next week... My EAD for not approved due to the service request cause it still hasn't been assigned to an officer when it got approved... Tre few receipt numbers before me got approved the day before me... With you filing a few days after me technically you should have your approval By friday Edited July 12, 2016 by Moslund

Hello all, I just called and created a Service Request for my EAD since I'm on day 84 and have not heard anything about it, they gave me a service request number.

From experience, about how many days after any of you created a service request did you hear back or see any movement?

All will be well guys, just hang on, coz i know it will be fine soon. As I've been in this process as well. Today I got so much surreal happenings! First, With no news ever after putting a SR, suddenly things started moving last July 2, EAD got approved then no news if mailed. Then this morning, got two messages - the Approval of my I-131 and then the delivery of the EAD. At around noon I got a text message that it was delivered by the post office, so I ran to check, and happy as I am coz the EAD and AP is here. Then emails followed about approval news and they will mail the document notice. BUT i was blown away when at around 4.30 pm I got a new text message -- saying that "New Card is Being Produced" -- OH MY GOLLY!!! my GC is approved and it's coming -- with no updates ever from "Finger Print Fee Received" with no interview! What the!

WOW that is such great news, congratulations! May I ask when did you put in the service request? And how many days had it been since you applied?

Again congrats, you will have your GC in hand soon!

Thanks steph&max. I placed the SR for EAD only, last June 21, my 75th day. since then i havent gotten any news or update. I called and ask for Tier 2, they didnt transfer me coz it was busy, so I didnt push for it anymore. It took 12 days before my online status changed. You will get it soon, just chill coz i just did chill coz if not, il go crazy counting the days. LOL.
