I certainly needed the 'insurance policy' of the EAD. It's been a month or more since I got my EAD and still no sign of the GC. I think I'm the longest waiting March filer now. I called the mis-information line and really, the didn't know anything other than my last update, but she advised an info pass to see if I was stuck in namecheck hell. :unsure:

Thank you! :blush: It seems like a VERY uncommon thing to wait this long for a transfer or interview and that is what is so unnerving. :wacko:

We don't even have the insurance of the EAD right now. It's incredibly maddening. At least we have a letter sent out to the senator for help and an infopass appointment in 11 days. Until then, I guess we wait some more.

Its surprising that you havent received your EAD card yet, considering yours got approved before ours. The USCIS works in mysterious ways.

It is not fair for these recent approvals. I am still waiting patiently for mine. I am afraid that they might in turn reject me. My last touch was on May 30th.

I know it feels unfair, but it really more a matter that some cases take longer to process than others. Each case is unique. Don't let the fear of a rejection at this point take hold of you. If you meet all the requiremetns for AOS and give them allthe evidence they need for the application, you will not be rejected. (F)

Well it seems as though this thread is to be found further and further back in the forum. That at least is a good sign that the Marchers are slowly but surely getting approved. As for me, I was touched today for the first time in over a month. I'm happy about that. Good luck to us all!

Hang in there! Look at our timeline in my siggie. We had several touches in May. then nothing for 2 weeks. then one touch. Then 2 weeks later the card ordered email. I know sometimes touches mean nothing, but in this case I think its a GREAT sign. Just hold on a little bit more!

Update for me: I received my actual green card this past Saturday, 6/23.

The dates are wrong! Though I had just been approved on 6/6/07, the card says that I have been a "resident since 6/6/06!" The expiry date is wrong as well -- instead of 6/6/09, it reads 6/6/08!

Ack! I now have to file a form I-90 and relinquish my incorrect card! Then I need to schedule an InfoPass to get an I-551 stamp on my passport! :-(

Happy to be approved but now there's more USCIS paperwork drama and waiting... :crying:
