August 2016 AOS filers

[dalts 0]

Just got done my infoPASS appointment.. good news and and bad notice, found out that my EAD and AP has been approved (only my AP was updated and notified me online though), that was all yesterday that this happened. I have an approved date and an expiration date for my EAD. Bad news is when I showed up the lady said there isn't anything she could do because my case was at the Missouri location. She said to call the 800 number and talk to them. I sat down and began to call and she called me back up and asked for my EAD receipt notice and said she'll do some digging and to have a seat. A few minutes later she called me back up and told me the good news about the EAD. I left and called the 800 number to check processing times, the computer the service agent on the phone was using showed that it was still processing but she said that is normal and wouldn't change yet as it was only approved yesterday. The bad news is that for Chicago the processing times for AP and EAD can take up to 60 days at the most.

Sorry to hear bout the bad news. So they were not able to tell you about your biometrics?

I don't know what to say about the biometrics... both the EAD and the AP have been approved as of last night. I didn't have a biometrics appointment, and I don't have one scheduled either.

I should clarify my second last comment, the 60 day processing time was for the EAD and AP card to be produced and in my hands.

Because i know biometrics is not needed for AP anf EAD but its needed for the GC and Im not sure if you already done a biometrics before that they might use. You did not ask them if you still need to do biometrics or will they still send you an appointment?

I thought you needed it for the EAD (people were saying this on this actual thread and a Tier 2 agent actual told me this). I haven't asked, I'm waiting for an immigration officer to call me back to confirm everything and talk about the biometrics.

Well I've read in some cases the EAD can be produced without fingerprinting. But since we are filing it with AOS we should have a biometrics for it. Please let us know what will the a Tier to tell you in their call back. In the brighter side, its good to know that its approved.

Of course. And it's very satisfying knowing that it had been approved.

Congrats to that!

Alright I think I'm getting the run around. At my infoPASS appointment this morning I was told my EAD was approved yesterday. I got my call back from the Tier 2 agent today and she said I cannot get my EAD/AOS approved without biometrics (I had mine done in 2013 for my P1, not sure if that carries over) and that my EAD is still processing. Do they not use the same system?? How does one say it's approved and the other doesn't?

Ughh! Their process is ridiculous!

What's the status online? If it says "Approved" there, that's what I would go with. You won't always get accurate info. when you call, even from Tier 2.

Just says Case has been received for the EAD and approved for the AP. Unfortunately I think the lady saw the AP approval and maybe combined them and used the same approval and expiration date.

The lady at the InfoPASS that is

It would be really nice if we had a breakdown of USCIS processing steps.

"First, petitions are sent to accounts receivable to assess fees and payments."

"Forms are sent to review signatures and that all boxes are filled in."

"Forms are sent to review supporting evidence."

"Petition is linked to biometrics."

Etc.

Even if they didn't update us on each step, some idea of what they do, what order, and whether it is changing hands would be nice.
