Yeah our dates are fairly similar ,but i see people after us got their EAD approved so that's the reason I'm worried.

Wait till 90 days are done. Just because some people got early approve doesn't mean we should be approved too. There is not a really line for USCIS. 

It has been only 78 days for me. And 75 for you probably.

@DorothyLa I believe this helps courtesy of @Judy & Eugene

 

How to prepare for your call?

Before calling the NCSC please have available

- your receipt number:

- alien registration number:

- type of application filed:

- date filed:

- Online case status:

- Processing times applying to your case type

- Check your priority date (if applicable)

- Have all relevant correspondence with USCIS (NOA1)

How to talk to a live person at USCIS?

Contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283.

Call early in the morning (8.00 am)

Option 1: Then dial 1, 2, 6, 2, 4 (exact sequence). Use these options every time you are prompted.

(You can also try - 1 - 2 - 1 - Case Number - 1 - 3 - 3 or 4)

Option 2: Call USCIS and Do not press anything (don't choose a language). They will think you have a rotary phone and will transfer you directly to a live person.

Option 3: Don't don’t choose the number for “case status”, but do different ones instead (for example “RFE”; “expedite your case”, …)

Option 4: Military Help Line: 1-877-CIS-4MIL (1-877-247-4645); Members of the military and their families may call to receive assistance with immigration-related questions.

If they speak Spanish just say English please. Now you can ask what you want.

What to ask them?

During your call we recommend that you take note of the following information:

About them:

- The name of the NCSC representative:

- The id number of the NCSC representative:

- The date and time of the call:

- Any service request referral number, if a service referral on a pending case is taken:

About our case:

- When calling, ask them for a service request.

 

 

In case they refuse or tell you that they cannot answer your question, then ask to be transferred to a Tier 2 ISO (Immigration Service Officer) supervisor, who will have more privileges to access detailed information about your case. Once you get an ISO, be very polite, and take notes for your records. Ask them for their badge number. That way you can reference each conversation by date and the badge number of the ISO.

 

Also ask them to review case status - THEY can - it's on their screen.

 

If the NCSC doesn’t issue a service request, please make sure the NCSC representative tells you the reason why he did not issue the request. (This information you'll need to follow up)

 

- Some of the standard questions:

1) Name check Status?

2) Background Check Status?

3) Has it been assigned to an officer?

4) When can I expect to get some updates on my case?

5) Can you help me with a ball park date on when my case will be assigned to an officer?

6) What dates are they currently working on?

Of course, we are aware of the standard response we get.

   (link not presently working)

The NCSC operates on a two-tier model.

Tier 1 Customer Service Representatives (CSRs):

Can

• Relay basic immigration information to customers through scripts provided by USCIS

• Answer questions about USCIS forms

• Transfer calls to Tier 2 in certain circumstances

Cannot

• Answer specific questions about a case with the exception of information available through Case Status Online

• Transfer calls to local offices or service centers where cases are pending

• Provide legal advice

Tier 2 Immigration Service Officers (ISOs):

Can

• Review USCIS systems on your case

• Request that notices be re-issued

• Provide information that you may receive at an Infopass appointment

• Provide specialized assistance to dependents or active members of the U.S. Armed Forces

• Provide information on pending and adjudicated cases.

Cannot

• Review already issued Requests for Evidence (RFEs)

• Directly issue duplicate notices, receipt notices, RFE notices

• Transfer calls to local offices or service centers

• Provide legal advice

Service Requests

Both Tiers 1 and 2 can create a “service request” which is sent to service centers and local offices on matters such as expedite requests, change of address, appointment rescheduling, case processing delays which exceed the posted times, and other matters that may be unique to a specific case.

Thank you for this information! I'm patiently waiting for an update on my case and it's 75 days this coming Saturday. I've had my biometrics appointment last month on the 21st and hope to have my online case status updated from my original status (received payment and received). I was anxious to call and ask for information about it so this is incredibly helpful. Thank you again.

From those of us who is waiting for EAD card.

 

Does your status on USCIS says that you had your biometrics done? Mine only says that they received my application and sent out the instructions. 

I had my biometrics done in March. What a long wait it is :)

 

Congrats to those who already got their permits! :)

By the looks of things, no. The status will not change after biometric were completed.

If they received EAD or AOS then first status is about receiving application and/or bio fee. Then you may get RFE or RFIE.

Finally there will be status update "ready to be scheduled for interview" for AOS or "card being produced" followed by "card mailed" for EAD.

This is my best summary from what I have gathered.

@PavelF thanks, I can imagine how bad you may be feeling right now but please just hang in there and stay strong and positive, you will soon get positive notification. on the other hand, your status doesn't change after biometrics till your card is being produced, interview (ready to be) scheduled/waived etc. Goodluck
