Over a month. Like 5 weeks

Kinda unrelated. But I applied for my ITIN over 6 weeks ago and I still don't have anything back from the IRS. Is that normal?

It's tax season so yes , it's normal. Expect a wait of 6-9 weeks at this time of the year.I would call Irs by week 8.

@Mthldou Did your first Rfe change status ? My case said " response received ", now I received an email from Uscis saying " request for evidence response review "

So in typical weird things which happen with USCIS, my case status changed from "New Card is being produced" to "Case Approved" today, also it updated the i131 also to approved, which was earlier not updated. 

 

I think it is usually the other way round Case approved to New Card is being produced, i dont think it matters much but just thought would bring it to others notice

Mine changed from new card produced to "mailed to me" just now. But my i131 is still the same, it still says file is received. I thought it supposed to be a combo card??

Where did i say its not a combo card ?

 

For the i-131 status update has always been funky for most people, some people dont get any update but get the approval letter and combo card. Some people like me will get an update on i131 and still recieve the approval letter and combo card. 

 

USCIS started issuing combo cards which include I-512 (Advance Parole) since 4/5 years back. Till the point you had applied for I-131 and they have not rejected the same, you can be rest assured you would get a combo card.

Thanks! Just got the letter from uscis, it does say approved 1765 and i131 (or i512). And you are correct again, even though i received the letter already, the status online still says the same for the i131. Hoping that the ead combo card will arrive soon! Will update you guys.

Hey guys,

 

I've been following this thread since late December. Thank you all for supporting each other in this group and today I'd like to share my own update with you. I have received a status change from the "case tracker" app on iPhone this morning that my EAD is currently under "New Card is Being Produced". 

 

My filling date: Dec 10th

PD date: Dec 13th

Bio date: Jan 13th

I-485 changed to "case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" on Jan 27th

 

just like any of you, it is a long waiting game and I get no pleasure of it. However, the best we can do is being patient and try not to think too much of the situation. Please be patient and it will be your turn soon. Btw, I did not call for service request and I did not receive any RFE during this time period. So, case might varies from person to person. If you are like me, then in my opinion that all you can do is wait and check on this site once a while to see how everybody is doing.

 

All dates above is also available in my timeline. Please feel free to check it out if that will help. I will try to update asap once I received more information. Again, thanks for all of you and please keep your good spirits. Good Luck!

Yes, I was told the other day it can take up to 9 weeks. 

 

 

Personal side note, I am going to apply for an ITIN on April 4th. We already filed our taxes, our h&r block tax preparer said how he filed our taxes was fine, and someone with 30 years tax eperiemve didnt know I needed an ITIN, wish we hadn't trusted him and researched it ourselves. So now we have to amend our taxes once I have an ITIN, the IRS penalized my husband by over $1000 because of it. 

However, I have no visa right now, only the Alien number and pending AOS, Im worried they wont give me an ITIN as thats not one of their categories. Eeek.

You can apply for an Itin as long as your spouse is a us citizen and you have some form of id .There are other categories but can't remember them all. It's free and all  you need is to print out a w7 form from the IRS website and fill it out and send it with your tax returns.

Note : Itin is linked to current tax return , they need to be sent together. Itin is issued in 6-9 weeks and then the tax return is processed ( additional 4-8 weeks to get a refund).I would call IRS and talk about your particular situation, taxes are serious business.You need to have a clear understanding of what to do.
