Hi all,

 

It took me a little while to write here about my experience with USCIS costumer service, because I am still a little upset, but I think it's important to share and maybe you have some advice regarding this situation.

 

I am adjusting from K1 and I filed for AOS, EAD and AP on March 3rd, and got my biometrics on March 28th. Got no RFE/RFIE so far. My cases are pending for more than 90 days.

So on June 7, I requested an inquiry about the status of my EAD. I did it by phone, since I was not able to do it online (somehow this form wasn’t available). I checked my case history online and one day later it was assigned to an officer and completed. But I never received any responses on it.

 

Right now, getting the advance parole is the most important thing to me, because I have to come back to Brazil in September to my formal wedding. So later, on June 9 I requested to expedite my AP. I talked to a Tier 2 Officer, and he was really nice and helpful but he seemed to be training someone during the call. During our talk we discovered that that the person who did my last inquiry wrote my e-mail incorrectly, and he supposedly corrected it. On June 16 I got a letter from NBC telling me they would not grant me the expedite because I didn’t provide evidence for my request. The thing is I never received any request for evidence.

 

I called them again yesterday, and discovered that my e-mail was still incorrect, and I am pretty sure I missed something due to this. And now the SR representative is telling me that I am unable to have another expedite for 30 days.

 

I am sorry for writing such a long post, but I am very disappointed with all this situation. I really would like you not to judge me because I asked to expedite my AP because of my wedding - I’ve seen many persons that don’t agree with expedites being granted to this kind of “emergency”, but I really planned this months ahead and never expected it to take this long. I have the felling that I going to be the one person who takes 200 days to get approve.

 

I tried to schedule an Infopass apointment, but there are not dates available. So I think my next move is trying to contact a Congressman, but I have no idea how to do it. Actually everything I did so far (inquiry, expedite, how to talk to a Tier 2 Officer) was only possible because of all of the information I found here, so I thank you all for that.

 

Sorry again for the long post!

i understand you. i am pretty sure you will get your ap/ead before september.

I called USCIS 6/10 since it was already 91days. Assigned a referral number and completed the mail response 6/12. Received the response via mail yesterday 6/19 with below message:

 

"Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly."

 

Today is 105 days... I missed job opportunities because of beyond 90days processing but what else could we do? It is just depressing when you are in financial difficulty and you can't get a job.  Praying for all of us here and hopefully we will get some good news pretty soon. God bless! 

today is my 105 days too. so frustrated. apparently they stopped processing ead/ap in 90 days. so for now their processing time is between 3-4 months. i am so depressed also. but you are closer than yesterday at least. 

 

15 more days  it will be 4 months for me. i hope i will get it earlier than that.

Ok, i got mail from USCIS.

It says "our review indicates that this case is within our current processing time." 

 

Yeap, 106 days. i wonder how many days should pass for not to be in their current processing time.  good morning everybody btw

New card being produced (EAD) on day 106, interestingly this was exactly 3 months from the last update.

I got the same thing and we are either on the same number of days since received or one apart.

 

I think they are using the processing times 'as of' date, which is strange since the 90 day thing is independent of that.

 

I literally just got an update saying card produced. You might not be that far away.

I'm trying my hardest. I actually am a patient person but it's getting challenging. There is a plus side to it too I guess. I get time to really bond with my stepdaughter and we just got a kitten, so between the two of them I am busy.

No update and I am at 81 days.

After my request put online about the EAD last week was returned a day later via email with this:
'Type of service requested:
 -- Beyond Committed Processing Time
The status of this service request is:
Our review indicates that this case is within our current processing time. We regret any misunderstanding. If you do not receive a decision or notice of other action within our current processing time, check our website for an update or call customer service at the number provided below.'

Today I went to my local USCIS Field Office with a scheduled appointment which was set up before I placed a service request. I was in and out of the building within fifteen minutes and was told that they have been for the last month trying to schedule and interview for the AOS and are finalising biometrics for the EAD and AP. I was really worried that I hadn't received post/mail that was sent to my address and they were waiting for a response! Thankfully it is just the USCIS being slow about things. 

 

It's day 98 for the EAD so I'm glad the field office cleared my mind up a lot. Just have the long or potentially short wait to go

 

Good luck to you! I am just a little bit confused about the timeline. How many days are you supposed to be receiving EAD? Thanks!

The USCIS aims to make a decision on approving your EAD within 90 days of receipt of your application in accordance with regulation.

 

There are a few exceptions. The USCIS website has a lot of information on this.
