AOS from B2 Visa distress

[T&Heem 3]

We are doing AOS from B2 as well, from NYC, filing i from early March. Just received EAD on June 13. And from the trend and other forums that I have been following, they are just releasing March EADs, look up threadon AOS March 2016 Filers-- we got ours a little over 90 days but have been bugging them since day 75- to no avail really. Now waiting for interview date.

We just hit the 90 day mark and called for an update on the EAD status. We were told that it was "under review" which is apparently is a good thing according to the agent, it means they are finally looking at it. So I guess we should see progress soon....

Don't be surprised if you get notice the card is in the post imminently. A little nudge like your call usually does the trick when you a close to the 90 day mark.

She stated that the EAD had not been approved because the FBI has not approved my husband's fingerprints (He has no criminal history, not even a parking ticket and is a university graduate and an overall clean-cut guy-so that doesn't really worry us). BUT, she stated that USCIS could not move forward until the FBI does-which in her words could take days, weeks or even months! . To reassure me she made sure I remembered that we were still within the 90 day time frame but that gave me little solace. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced an FBI fingerprinting delay and if so how long did it delay the EAD, AP and/or GC. Thanks again guys!

There are people stuck on the FBI background check.... All manner of reasons for this, which country you are from, how common your name is etc. Hopefully you are not stuck for long.

Brit lady who's been in USA for 6 years is awaiting clearance after 1 month of checks bring carried out.

Exciting Update: After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the NOA2 for EAD & AP arrived yesterday and this morning I woke up to a text with a status update to "Card was Mailed". We were so excited we did a happy dance around the living room. Now Heem can get to work and our life together can truly commence!! Congrats to all who have reached this point and prayers and blessings to those still in the middle of this agonizing wait! Now to wait for the interview....
