August 2016 AOS filers

[prenouveau 46]

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

Keep an eye on the EAD, usually they are worked on together and some people see the approval status a couple days apart. It also could be that both were approved but the system didn't update for both. You should get letters in the mail in a few days, I hope you get approval letters for both!

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.

Makes me so mad reading your post knowing that someone DID NOT LINK MY BIOMETRICS TO THE PETITION and everything is on hold now because of that.

It would be nice to know if/which "approval" comes from a local (interview) office or if it comes from the Missouri Service Center. Because I see adjacent case numbers being approved, but ours hasn't seen any action. It would also be nice to know if the biometrics has been linked to the application.

Finally, status updated to "Card being produced". Wonder how long it's gonna take to actually receive the EAD...

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?

Thats not 100% true. I applied for my combo card a month after filing my AOS. I was required to go back to the local INS office for another set of fingerprints. This was for the employment authorization document.

OK. I wish you good luck. I was tempted to call them when my application have spent 72 days but at the morning of 74th day, I got approval for EAD and AP and interview date for AOS.

If you don't hear from them on your 75th day, calm them on 76th day.

Yes I will do that. I'm getting close to 70 days now I think.

Keeping fingers crossed and waiting......

[SilverDragon72 3]

I am on day 67, and my EAD stays Case Was Received......

I already did my Bio though. I am trying to schedule an infopass appt, too, but my local office is San Francisco and there isn't any availability now...... Hmm......

Mine says something similar.....Case Was Received.....

Hope to see some changes soon!

Congratz! i keep checking the uscis website but my 131 and 765 still dont show as terminated. I wonder how long before they get mailed to us.

Okay so buckle up for this story...similar to what jalem33 posted a few days back.

I checked the status on Thursday (10/20) and it said "case was received" for EAD and AP. But on Monday afternoon (10/24) when my father in law checked it said the following....which we couldn't believe- as it was approved on day 58 from NOA date - and that in Newark, NJ which shows about 200+ days on VJ timelines. So I called USCIS this morning at 8am when they opened and they said the GC was approved! And we should be receiving a letter saying that soon and production of Green Card should be ordered and sent out to us.

485 (Green Card):

On October 21, 2016, we approved your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCXXXXXXXXXX. We will mail your approval notice.

YAY! so finally my status for my EAD card changed today to "Card was mailed to me" after showing for three weeks that the card is in production.

Keep an eye on the EAD, usually they are worked on together and some people see the approval status a couple days apart. It also could be that both were approved but the system didn't update for both. You should get letters in the mail in a few days, I hope you get approval letters for both!

I only got an approval letter for my AD card but not for my EAD.

Finally, status updated to "Card being produced". Wonder how long it's gonna take to actually receive the EAD...

I had this status for three weeks until it finally changed to "chard is mailed to me"

I got my biometric done last week as an early walk in (it's scheduled for Nov.7). However, I recevied two same biometric notice, I got one from last Saturday and one today (Tuesday). Has this happened to anyone else? Received two wo exactly same biometric notice? Should I just ignore them since I already did my bio last week?

Haha! I can mail you one if you want! Lol!

Just looked through the statuses and history for a bunch of EAD and AP cases online. It isn't at all consistent as far as each "status update" and in what order.

Received>Name Update>Approved

Received>New Card Being Produced>Approved

Received>Approved>New Card

Received>New Card

I'm assuming that each case worker is meant to do the updates as they work on the case, and they're not all on the same page :/ I didn't see any that said "card has been mailed," but maybe those are from earlier dates.

just received an RFE for my I-131... I have my EAD in hand (not combo card).... I applied for everything at the same time... why am I getting an RFE when I should have a combo card? Will that RFE put on HOLD my I-485?

For the peace of mind I say just go back and if they will take them again no big ideal.

Your call

Mine is for November 9.
