I think the "base date," if you will, is the "Received Date" shown on NOA1. And yes, I think the weekends are counted, too. I am basing my answer on VJ timelines, i.e. "Your [insert application type] was approved in X days." The X is based on the "Filed Date," which, in my understanding, should be the "Received Date" on NOA1 and not the date the application package was mailed.

 

Again, these are just my presumptions, and I do hope that someone can give a more comcrete answer to your query.

 

Good luck to us April filers! 

 

PS: I am using an app and it auto-calculates the "days active." If you are an iPhone user, please see the attachment for details of the said app. You may want to download it from App Store. I am not sure though if it is also available on Android phones.

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for your response! This is what i was thinking but was not sure. I will try and find that app on android!

 

Thanks again...good luck:)

I filed at march 3. I got rfie and they recieved my documents at april 19. Now it has been 101 days since i filed but no ead. Whenever i call them they say rfe resets the timeline. So i guess i am a april filer. Hi everybody.

Welcome to the thread and sorry to hear about your RFE.

 

On the bright side, at least you know someone is looking at your case!

Went to my local RMV, filled out ID card application. I provided my birth certificate for proof of DOB, passport for proof of signature, mail correspondence from bank for proof of address/residence and my SSN.

What did you provide to get a social security number ?

I can't tell based on your timeline from which visa you're adjusting status. Might I suggest you update your timeline?

 

The SSN guide might have some tips on obtaining an SSN.

Hello! Congratulations

 

How did you get that updated status? On the App?

 

My Biometric appointment was on 5/25 and I have not received anything after that day.

I mailed my package March 27th, 2017. Received by USCIS March 29th. But priority for I-485 is April 4th. Since then almost 80 days have lapsed.

I think we're all getting pretty frustrated by now. This is the long stretch of the waiting game, it seems.

 

7 days since my expedite request for the EAD and nothing so far. Not even the request for evidence that they said should get to me within 5 days (I called and they said that I am not allowed to call until 30 days have passed). On the other hand, 9 weeks until I am supposed to start my new job. Yeai! *sigh

Did you contact your local congressman too when you requested the expedite? My husband called ours when he requested an EAD expedite on June 7th and he was transferred quickly to someone on the phone who he was able to email back and forth with and who did an inquiry/request for my husband. His online EAD status changed to "New Card Being Produced" on June 15th and "Card Was Mailed to Me" on June 20th.

That's really interesting. Did you have a specific reason to call the congressman?

 

In any case, I just researched this a bit, and you are not the only one going this route. Every congressman and woman has a "Help with Federal Agencies" page on their website. However, mine makes really clear that they only help if time is of the essence or if I have been treated badly. I might wait another week or two and if I still didn't hear anything, I will try that route.

 

Thank you for the idea!

My case status just changed status from "Case ready to be scheduled for interview" to "Interview is scheduled"! My interview will take place one month from now.
