It might actually be faster if you use the online form. I hate waiting on the phone so online was the best option for me!

Every time I did the sr on the phone it wasn't answered but the ones I put online were answered fairly quick. 

 

 

On a different note my EAD status changed from card being produced to case approved. Now I'm a little confused

Um, that's a bit odd. I wouldn't be too worried so long as your status changes to "card was mailed to me" within a few days.

Case finally got updated today. Interview is scheduled for October 4. Still no updates on EAD/AP but I guess they don't care about getting that to us if we are just gonna have the interview.

Hello everyone!

 

I am happy that the majority of our cases have been resolved. I got my SS# this week 🎉🎉.

 

I got my EAD/AP combo 2 weeks ago. However, I have not received any appointment notification for my GC. I have read that you K1 fillers got the notification even though got the EAD/AP.

 

Now I am tracking USCIS Website to see if the status of my I-485 has changed.

No. AOS is different from EAD and AP.

 

AOS and AP's processing time depends on the workload of the office handling your case. On the other hand, EAD should get an update by the 90th day. At least that's what the rep told me.

 

Even if you get an RFE on AOS, that does not affect the EAD/AP processing time as they are not the same application.

I just came back from the Infopass appt I had. They told me that my whole case is on hold because all of these forms were filed together at once. Once I submit my RFE request, they will start up again. 

 

Also found out that the RFE they requested is the EXACT same things they wanted last time and it seemed like USCIS messed up and they didnt "file or receive it" correctly. Now they have misplaced my tax forms and other confidential important information and I have to re-mail it and wait for them to update. The officer helping me was so nice and helpful today and I'm so glad I went or else I would have been waiting around forever.

Yes, it happens. That's why it is always a good idea to keep a duplicate of the WHOLE PACKET. If the officer loses some of the docs, he wouldn't admit to it nor look for it, he would issue an RFE to the applicant.

 

Also it helps that the documents are secured, not necessarily stapled but clipped, before putting them in the envelope. There is less possibility of losing the docs if the packet is organized.

 

I am glad that it worked out well for you. Best of luck on the rest of your journey. :)

There is still a possibility for them to issue your EAD/AP. It happened to me. I received my EAD 23 days before my interview. 

However, once you get your GC, you won't necessarily need the EAD/AP anymore even if you have it. 

 

Glad that you already have a schedule for your interview. You have plenty of time to prepare. Break a leg. :)

For the EAD/AP, once you get an RFE, the timeline 'restarts'. It means you are back again to counting from Day 1. :(

I hope your I-485 gets updated tho, as you wouldn't really need the EAD/AP anymore if you have your greencard.

 

Is the RFE for your EAD/AP or is it for your I-485?

No, the officer today said it won't "restart". it is put on hold because the whole case is processed together. The RFE is for my I-485

It will not restart if it is for your I-485. It will tho if it's for your EAD/AP.

Since yours is for the I-485, timeline will not restart.

Congrats! Glad to see some movement on the 120+ day cases. We got my wife's NOA2 for both EAD and AP in the mail today. As has been the experience for most folks, the case status for AP never changes from "case was received."

 

Still no update on her AOS (I-485) case. Our local office is still working on cases from November of last year so I'm guessing it's gonna be awhile for us.
