AOS July 2016 Filers

[Harrybo 1]

My status never changed to card has been picked up or whatever after it had been approved. Received card in mail this morning. You guys gotta take a deep breath and relax. It'll get there.

There's hope for me yet then! 15 days since my EAD was approved but nothing yet - no update, nothing in the mail. Am attempting to practice patience!

Congratulations! ? Good luck on your interview, please let me know how it goes. Our interview is scheduled on Nov. 3, what documents are you bringing?

I will definitely share here what it was like and how it went.

As to what I am bringing:

• Complete copy of our application package + original documents (which incl. proof of marriage already such as lease agreement, joint bank account proof, bills in both names, last 3 years tax returns)
• All ID documents (birth certificates, passport, social, marriage cert, divorce decree for hubby, EAD)
• all correspondence received from uscis
• Further proof of marriage:
• photo albums from wedding, honeymoon and one of a selection of photos over the years
• screen grabs from facebook printed on 8x11 paper with friends commenting on our photos
• cards we sent to each other when we were not living together and cards from friends/family that were addressed to both of us
• a letter from our property manager confirming she's known us a couple for several years
• proof of income from past 2 months

I might have more in my filing case that I now can't remember. I started a few months ago to put everything I thought was helpful in the folder.

Anyone with a service request for EAD passing 75 days have any update?

My case numbers are not working until now so I may have to call them to see if there is any issue.

Day 79 - EAD case is still in "Case Was Received" status Service Request made on September 29th did not make any changes

I have a job offer and it is such a bummer... I don't know what to say to my employer

Can you describe how did you get your CA driver's license if you don't have SSN? I kinda want to do the same, since I am so bored waiting for my EAD.

I am on 79 days too.. my e-request says they requested more info to answer my question on 10/4/16. No change on i-765 and i-131; case received

i-485 at fingerprint fee received- I did my bio on 9/21/16.

Day 83...

Still "Case was received"

Service request didn't help..

Case received status for all applications?

wow....we are in the same boat....

since my husband is greencard holder i did my i-130 earlier which was approved in Mar 2015.

I filed in Nov 2014 so it took 4 months for them to approved i-130.

And then I filed i-485, i-765 and i-131 in July 2016.

sigh.. long wait...

[Project_Harajuku 28]

Received my EAD/AP combo card and my I-485 approval notice in the mail today. The notice said my green card should arrive in the mail within 3 weeks.

Really relieved that we were able to skip the interview process.

[oana.sparklin 5]

So about 40mins ago i got texts and email and my status for my ead changed to "new card is being produced"! YAAAY

The service request is still at "was assigned for an officer for response", but i don't think that will change anything now.

Good luck to everyone and i hope i will have it in hand as soon as possible.

So an update

Just checked my mailbox and found w letters from uscis. I was hoping they are approval noa for my ead and ap.

Just out they are just response ketter to my service request that i did online on 10/3.

One letter said that they received my rfie on 9/27 and i should wait 90 days. This is for my wife 485.

The other letter said it is still within processing time. This is for my stepson.

Both case got the same rfie and they both got response on 9/27.

False hope.

So we will be waiting a few more days to hopefully get something in the mail soon.

Heyon86, do you get anything in the mail?

[iipenny 18]

Got my Combo card today. It took only 2 days from when it said the card was picked up by the usps. Also my I-485 said new card is being produced. Is it means that no interview? I'm kinda confused with the process now cause it shows case was received the whole time until today.

Didn't check the mail today however the online status is the same. It says they requested more info and thats it....

[Amythyst88 2]

EAD is now in my area, perhaps will receive it tomorrow. (supposedly today but the Hurricane caused a potential delay for the delivery).

Just want to share my situation in case others will also encounter same things:

I had an RFE for incomplete vaccination worksheet done in Manila. But the civil surgeon in my area had to redo the full medical exam up to vaccination certification (well, it's alright to have another one though).

Just wanted to share why I think another medical exam is needed for k1 AOS applicants. The civil surgeon told me there was a new test needed for the intending immigrants, such that a URINE test for Gonorrhea is a requirement. They said the CDC just recently released the that policy and I was one lucky applicant to have it done.

So now, we're ready to mail the NEW I-693 and expecting a nice progress.
