No worries! Thanks for providing that information here. Both of us have the same PD/NOA1 date and I haven't seen any action. I'm starting to think involving a congressman is the right move. I see you sent them a FAX. Do you have any tips on what to write and information to provide?

 

(You may also want to add your dates above to the VJ timeline system because that gives people estimated dates based on the dates you entered.)

I'm sorry that happened to you!

Thank you RandB! I confess that I was very frustrated with this situation, however as I already have the necessary documents in hand I believe this is just a simple delay, just more few days and I'll have my green card in hands (I'm praying for that lol).
Oh congratulations for your green card, I'm very happy for you!

Oh I forgot to ask did you receive the new card model?

Hello! 

 

A new week is starting. Congratulations to everyone who received good news last week. My EAD request reached 110 days 😲⏳⌛today.

 

I just opened my 2nd SR, I should expect a reply by August 11, 2017. Tomorrow I am going to call the congressman's office to check if they will help support me, since I sent 2 forms one week ago and they have not replied to me yet. Have a nice day 🙏

@Spiny, @Fairylou, do a walk in. I did my walk in last week. Thinking of putting an SR for ead next week. I think that's when we hit 90 days from noa1. Any idea how long it takes them to finish background check?

Hey guys, this is my interview experience:

 

07/27/2017 - 9am

A lady call us exactly at 9am, we went to the room and she started with the oath. Then she read the I-485 questions (yes or no questions). She asked my driver license (i gave her) and my EAD and I said that I didn't receive it yet. She asked if we had some other documents or pictures to give her and we did that. Then she asked about my parents who live in Brazil and about my previous marrige. She looked again all the documents she had in a yellow file and the asked me about my daughter's custody (she's 11). I answered that I hold her custody since ever because I got divorced couple months after she born. Then the lady asked me the document that proof I hold my daughter's custody. I explained her that I left the document in Brazil because I really don't need it as I have a good relationship with my ex-husband. The lady smiled and said "well I want that document". My attorney tried to bring an alternative to solve the issue but she didn't take it. To sum up she give us a RFE!?!?!?! She asked for my daughter's custody document and the deed of the house (that it's mine). She said she will hold our process till she receive the aditional documents.

 

I literally left the building holding my tears! I was so sad and disappointed because I never thought we could get a RFE during the interview! Especially because we sent to USCIS all the mandatory documents and all the documents the attorney asked us.

Anyway we already have the documents she asked us and we are going to send it to our attorney on Monday then we just need to wait, again

My advice: if you have kids don't forget their custody document (translated) even if that isn't mandatory! Try to bring to the interview ALL documents you have to avoid them find a way to delay or refuse your process!

 

PS: the agent made a personal comment frowning to the fact of my husband has two kids and had never being married (excuse me?)

 

My journey: 

04/10/2017 - priority date

05/08/2017 - bio done

06/21/2017 - interview scheduled (07/27/2017)

07/24/2017 - EAD production

07/27/2017 - EAD mailed

07/27/2017 - interview date

07/27/2017 - RFE custody document of my daughter

 

BTW congrats to all who got their EAD or interview date!

Its hard to have such a hold back after all this waiting but dont worry since you already have the papers..just make sure the layer sends it rightaway..

A good luck for you and us all

Basically what I sent was a cover letter explaining my situation. The HR director of my company also wrote a letter on my behalf requesting the card and also stated how valuable i am to the organization. I also included some upcoming bills (car note, renter, electricity).
