Thanks for your response! I hope I have the same situation as the other person you mentioned and I get both! 

 

Just a little concerned about the address thing, I called and the agent said it can take up to 30 days for the address to change in their system. I changed our address on June 23, and the letter I received was postmarked on July 19 so not quite 30 days! I really hope that it's changed now, so if I do receive the EAD there are no issues with delivering it. I'm hoping and praying! :)


You will probably have no problems at all with both the situations... keep praying and hope for the best... just call and check again if u haven't received it within a week or 2... best of luck...

 

just your typical immigrant LOL!!!

Congratulations. Did the officer ask  any questions regarding you being out of status on your F1 Visa. I'm adjusting from F1 Visa too ,but the office in bay area,CA seems to be  severely backlogged and I was happy that you already had your interview(given the current processing time for your office is sometime in November 2016) and I'm hoping my interview is scheduled soon. Did the officer ask you questions from the old I-485 form or the new form which has a lot of additional questions regarding work authorization and unlawful presence.

Thank you .

The interviewer didn't ask me about my status and questions from I-485.  Our interview was very short like less than 10min .  I'm sorry I can't answer your question :( 

I hope you will have your interview soon :)!

Guys I'm at a loss as to what to do.  Filed 130 days ago (timeline below).  I put in a Service Request on EAD at about 100 days (June 28) and got an email that said "the status of this service request is: Your case is currently under review.  You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly."  Two weeks later I got an RFE on my AP and EAD (names were reversed on I-131 but I had to wait until I got the letter which took a week); 9 days later website updated saying evidence received, resuming processing.

 

Two things, wondering if I should put in another service request on EAD to make sure it is on the move; have an Infopass appointment next week, is it pointless to do this?  Does asking for another SR hurt my app at all?  Also had our Congresswoman send a letter earlier this week.  Thoughts appreciated!  Desperate for AP doc, trying to go home to see family and really difficult to get time booked off of work so ended up having to cancel initial time off because we didn't have papers.

 

 

March 20, 2017: Filed I-485/I-130/I-765/I-131 (got the NOAs by the end of that week)

April 17, 2017: Biometric done

June 28, 2017: SR on the EAD as it was 100 days at that point (on website it says it was assigned to an officer, sent a reply and completed all on that day: I received an email that day that said "case was under review")

July 7, 2017: Filed for expedite request on AP citing financial loss (plans to travel)

July 10, 2017: Received notice asking for documents to be faxed in support of expedite request

July 11, 2017: Faxed over all the docs

July 11, 2017: Update on website says Request for Initial Evidence on I-765 and I-131

July 17, 2017: Notices received; first and last name reversed on I-131 (letters say "Request for Initial/Additional Evidence," both letters say name has to match)

July 17, 2017: Sent new I-131 form + birth certificate, passport, driver's license etc. overnight

July 18, 2017: FedEx says delivered

July 20, 2017: Update on both I-131 and I-765 says: Request for Evidence Received

July 21, 2017: Notice received expedite for AP denied

July 26, 2017: Congresswoman sent letter/inquiry on my behalf re: I-131 and I-765
