Ahaha Same here ! I really cannot wait !

I received a notification  for my service request today "Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of action shortly".

I received this same message 2 weeks ago for my 1st service request and nothing happened lol. Sometimes, I'm wondering if they do realize that we actually paid for that process 

Hey A+S how are you? I have an update!! My case's status has just been updated to 'Card is Being Produced' 

 

i765 application based on i485 - received on April 10

RFE for i485

i765 approved after 115 days

 

Keep me posted on your case! You will get an update soon!!!

Hey earnhaaart,

 

After seeing your post I called to see if I could get my tracking number, and the tier 2 officer said the same thing had happened with my card. She was really nice, but she said sometimes they just sit waiting to actually get mailed for a few days. She recommended that I call back every day until they have a tracking number. I explained that I was really hoping to travel next week and that I had been expecting the card to arrive this week, but she said there was nothing she could do to speed up the delivery. I totally lost it when I got off the phone because I really wanted to fly on Monday! I'm feeling so disappointed. I don't think there's any chance of that now but let's hope they hurry up and actually mail them to us pronto! 

They shouldn't be updating our status to 'card was mailed' if its actually not mailed yet. It doesn't make any sense. 🙄 Anyway I still believe that both our cards were mailed and we should be expecting it this weekend. I've seen most of the timeline here that after the status update of card was mailed, they received it within 2-3 days so hopefully ours will be the same. I'm keeping my hopes up! Let me know if you get any update😊

Oh look, where one awesome thing happens, another situation appears. I am planning on going to my brother's wedding in Cyprus, and my ticket is booked for the 30th of August, through the 13th of September. I'm currently an L1A visa holder, and was going to use that to come back in the country.

 

Cool, right? Well, I just found out my L1A expires on September 4th, and I doubt my current employer is going to extend it. I have my EAD, but it is not a combo card, because my lawyer didn't do a concurrent filing with the I-131. My I-131 was filed on May 11th. And on top of everything, my grandmother's health is getting bad, and this is looking like the last time I'll get to see her.

 

I'm thinking I have to book an infopass appointment, and explain the situation: that I originally requested the advance parole for my brother's wedding, but now that my grandmother is ill, the situation is a bit more distressing.

Fingers crossed for you! It's terrible how they keep people waiting with no information. To delay someone so long for their biometrics is not human! When all else fails, you can try asking for help from your congresswoman/congressman.

Yeah even the IOs on the phone are being super sympathetic and apologize, but they tell me to wait still haha Brutal. I am going to the Seattle Office on Tuesday so i am very determined to get something out of them:)

I went on an infopass last May 19th to physically ask an IO about my document being returned to the post office because they couldn't deliver it. We recently moved and I changed my address online but for some reason the documents were still mailed to our old address. So the IO had it fixed and he saw that i had my bio appt scheduled on May 11th which already passed so he scheduled my appointment that day. There were a lot of people scheduled for their bio appt that day but he saw that we live 3 hours away from the office so he made it possible. Just bring your noa's and passport, whatever documents you can bring and just tell them your situation and I'm sure they will do your biometrics. 

Thank you! Very useful info! I am hoping my case will move on faster from InfoPass.

this is why i hate lawyers... why would you not submit something if its free to submit along with the i-485 package? its coz the lawyer is lazy and doesn't want to do the extra paperwork... there is absolutely no excuse for such behavior from lawyers... mine wanted to charge me 2700 dollars for just filing my paperwork and he didn't even know some of the things that other people have taught me on here... i decided to do it by myself and did a lot of research before submitting my forms and as God was on my side i got approved for my GC in exactly 70 days(after being out of status for nearly 2 years(or cud say overstay))... I do think that i got lucky but still that's 2700 dollars i saved... that's almost 2 weeks salary for my wife... LOL...

What sucks the most, is the lawyers are friends, and did it for free. On top of it all, I just found out that my grandmother has cancer, so I might request an expedite of the advance parole because of that reason.

Aw I'm so so sorry to hear that. I think you can definitely request an expedite based on those grounds, just bear in mind that they'll probably ask for evidence. You have some time before the 30th Aug so hopefully they'll be able to get it done for you! Best of luck 🍀
