Thank you @Texasfiler ! So much love ❤️ 

 

As August Filers 2017 we would definitely win VisaJourney's most positive and uplifting AOS group of the year, if there was such prize.

 

131 days here and I feel we will have our EADs before Christmas. 

I'm with you.

Awesome, when you say that he got a copy of your documents, do you mean passport and AP or any additional document? Should I handle the officer anything else other than Passport and AP?

He got one of the copies of my AP document (we receive two), and the other he stamped with the parole. He said even though I have one copy now, I can leave and re-enter the States with no issue using that one document (granted, I knew this information already, but being the worried-cat I am, I asked him just to make sure hahaha)

 

At first they get only your document (your combo card, in this case) and your passport and they do some checking while you wait. I had my marriage license ready to show them in case they were wondering why my name was different on the AP document and passport but the guy said it was fine (I think I got a really nice officer, because from what I read, they always ask for the marriage certificate in such situations). Interesting though, is that when I was called to get my AP document stamped and passport back, the officer commented with me, without me mentioning it, that I was adjusting status from marriage, so they might have all of our info there once they search for our case numbers (which isnt surprising when you think about it but in the grander picture, at that time, I was like "whoah, how do you know that?!" hahaha)

 

But anyways, after my ramble above haha, yeah you should handle just the passport and AP first. If you didnt change your name, or if your passport name and AP name is the same, you should be fine with just those two documents. I also brought in the copy of my NOA's just in case, but I doubt there would be a situation in where they'd ask for that.

Good news are about to come, I know  USCIS may work in mysterious ways, we cant tell for sure when or what will happen but it will come at the right time

I just forgot to mention something hahaha, I had a little issue in Brazil though, when I was doing the check in for my flight back, they were looking for my visa and I showed them the AP and the lady wasnt familiar with the document. It was a good 10 minutes with back and forth between them, and me explaining what it means, for them to finalize the check in. So yeah, just be ready in case when you do the check in at the airline if they have no idea what that document is, but again, it should be fine all in all

@GoodVibesOnly You are welcome - just hoping that you guys hear good news very soon - without the support from this group I don't know what I would have done while i was waiting for the EAD Card. Cheers to EAD Cards for you all before Christmas.

I don't know why they are taking so long with august I filed 8-2-17 they received August 9th biometrics done 9-7-17 and I still waiting with absolutely not online updates or letters I called USCIS spoke to an officer who was very nice she told me that there is apparently no reason why I didn't have my cards already, she dent  message to Immigration I should receive my cards 2 weeks or a letter. I also contacted my local congressman. I'm on day 128. I pray to God for all of August filers receive our cards or green cards pretty soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.

@Canelita you gave so much positive energy and support to this forum - I hope that you receive your card long before two weeks.

Congrats @Jesusboy! So your online status still says "Case received" but you got the approval notices in the mail? Did you have SRs open for the EAD too? Mine are still unassigned...

[Hamilton 511]

Something happened! Update on my SR for my EAD (though not for AP or 485):

 

On December 13, 2017, your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application, referral number ------MSC, was assigned to an officer for response.

 

I really hope this means something will happen soon. It's been 127 days and this is really taking a toll on my emotional well-being...

Told you something will happen! Since you also requested SR close to when I did. And it did

 

did you receive 1 notification? In your email or myUSCiS?

Your SR has been completed though, while mine has just been assigned. I wonder how long it takes from 'assigned' to 'completed' -- do you know?

 

I didn't get a notification, it was just in myUSCIS. Any other progress on your side?

On December 12, 2017, your request to have your case expedited, referral number T1BXXXXXXXXXMSC, was assigned to an officer for response.

 

 

I did not call USCIS or even used my phone or laptop today as i was not feeling well and now while replying in the group i checked the status and it was in today's date !!!! I mean I already expedited my case in November and i already got an email from USCIS and i already faxed my offer letter now what the hell is this !!!

Maybe they just updated the status online...
