Isn't the primary purpose of this thread to support one another and to share useful tips about the AOS process rather than have inflammatory debates? 

 

 

We have another thread for that on VJ  

Conversations are organic. As you can see the short exchange is already concluded.

That's great! Your wife must be so happy

She is very happy. I had just taken her home after taking her written Driving exam. She didn't pass, but getting the green card has made her more determined to pass next time.

Any november filers here still waiting on EAD with no RFE. I am a december filer (12/22), no RFE yet and no news yet on my EAD/AP. I raised SR day 92 , standard reply saying wait. 

 

What should i do? spoke to level 2 officer on day 95 and today day 106. Standard replies. 

 

Anyone who was waiting on EAD with no RFE beyond 100 days, what steps did you take? i am losing my mind

 

 

I'm still waiting on multiple EAD and it's been 136 days

That is CRAZY. What's the reason ? Did you have any RFE ? Did you raise an SR ? I admire your patience

Lol thanks I do have a RFE, I checked like everyday nothing.  I did a service request last month and on the screen it says I'm within the normal time frame. Maybe I should have called

I'm also waiting because of an RFE. 140 days and counting.

We got an RFIE on our I-485.  Received EAD/AP in 108 days.

So here I am at work on a crazy busy Monday and my phone starts blinking -- this girl has her green card in production!!

 

My coworkers (who already tease me about my Canadianess) now think I'm crazy bc of how excited I got.  

 

So glad I have a break from USCIS. 

 

I had to share this news with folks who feel the struggle.  And my husband is still asleep and didn't answer the phone when I called!!

I got my update today 4/10 that card is sent for production . 

 

Have you done anything to check on the status etc ?

Hello!

 I received EAD 3/18. Went to apply for SS  3/20 which I already had it was just expired so I thought it would be quick. However the lady said they had to send it to Immigration to approve it idk for what reason. It's now 4/11 I called a few days ago asking for status and they said it takes 4-8 weeks max. I still cannot get my DL 😠 Which is priority for me. Did anyone else have this issue? I don't understand what has to be checked or approved?! Everyone else here said it was 2 weeks. I'm in Dallas TX by the way. TIA!

I have had nothing but problems with SS. It started with my original application and a misspelling of my name.  I had to go back to a POE deferred inspection site and have a new i94 issued.  I got the card about 9 weeks after applying. 

 

After marriage I tried to change my surname and it was not approved, so I gave up until I had my EAD.  

 

Went back with my EAD and it was sent to DHS for manual verification.  It finally got approved, but took an additional 3 weeks.  I was told it was bc my card has first, middle, last name and my EAD only printed first, middle initial, last name, even though the back of the card had my full middle name.

 

You can check the SAVE case status page to see when it gets sent back to SS, but it still takes them a good 2 weeks to re-do whatever it is they do when they get it back.
