This will probably get lost in the sea of people celebrating their EAD/AP approval (congratulations!), but I have a simple question people may be able to help me out with.

You can refer to my timeline, but basically, I never received a letter about my original Biometrics Appointment (despite calling USCIS multiple times), so I missed the original appointment on October 11th. The actual letter arrived TODAY, letting me know I had an appointment at 10am. So I finally got to complete my Biometrics Appointment, request an expedited EAD, and contact my local congressman (who I had already been in contact with, but asked me to wait until I had finished the Biometrics) to petition on my behalf.

So, today was productive. However, there were roughly 24 days between my original appointment I never heard about (October 11th), and today (November 4th).

Is this likely to delay my case by 24 days?

I don't think Georgia had any tone but informative :-) This is copied from the instructions for i485: "You must submit a completed Form G-325A if you are between 14 and 79 years of age."

Hey everyone, This morning I received a text that my case had been updated :-) I was very surprised to see that and honestly I wasn't sure what it could be, but it's actually reality! My I-485 case s

Just got notified that we will have our AOS interview on February 1st, in Detroit. Was hoping for no interview, but at least we'll have sooner rather than later.

A little bit of an update: My husband applied for a job and was offered the position. However, they called and told him that if he doesn't have his work permit in his hands in 8 days, they will have to pull his application and cancel his offer. He is so dissapointed, and I feel bad. I called USCIS and there is nothing they can do...Ugghhh this process is so frustrating. :ranting:

Yes, I have the same worry. Thinking I should give it more than a few minutes before I freak out though ;-)

Get out of here with your reasonable suggestions! ;)

My AED has that same update onNov. 1 and my AP was approved Nov 2. My 2 K2s AED/ AP were both updated on Nov. 1 so I thought that was strange. You will get your AP approval in the next few hours or days :)

Thanks for the reassurance! Before getting the EAD card production text, I was so zen -- "no need to worry yet, no point in stressing" -- and then it's like an anxiety switch -- "is this normal?! clearly I seriously screwed up!"

Congrats! You have almost the same dates as me, I'll be obsessed with checking now :-/

It looks like you and I mailed the same day and our applications were received on the same day but the notifications and NOA-1 for our case are almost a week apart.

Must have been a busy week for USCIS!

I really want to get a part time job to spend more time with my daughter and it looks like I will be offered one soon to start in December. The problem is that my husband is still waiting for his work permit and I need him to have a job or we can't survive on part time. I am not sure what to do if they offer me the job (probably around Nov 15).

Doubt he will start a job December 1st. But he will get it in December probably.

If this is a job you normally can't find then I would take it and then struggle for a bit until he can start.

Thanks, Georgia. Short, but to the point.

Sorry didn't mean to be short :)
