My husband got his EAD card today. He got the notification letter on Saturday. He tried to take the notification letter to SS office today but they denied it. Then when he got home the card was there :) . Thank goodness. He’s so excited to finally be able to work and drive. 

 

 

BIG congratulations!:)

I called USCIS today to check up on the status of my I-485 case. When I was in the process of expediting my combo card, the Tier 2 officer said my case was "ready to be scheduled for an interview" on October 5th, but it never got updated on the online tracking system. He said that if it didn't update in January (this month), to just call back and request for them to take a look. During my initial call, the call center person did not want to connect me to a Tier 2 officer and basically told me to "be patient and await my turn".. I called back a little while later and the next person immediately put my request in and I got a callback after 3 hours. The Tier 2 officer was very friendly, looked at my case, and told me that my case was still pending, nothing changed, but that the current processing time at my field office (Washington DC) for family based adjustment was "45 days from now", and that I would be hearing something from USCIS by mail very soon. I am not sure if she meant that I will get a letter in ~45 days, or that I will have my interview in ~45 days. In my excitement I forgot to ask for clarification, but oh well.. that's good news to me! Hopefully this gives others here some hope as well :)!!

Thanks for the information, I'm from DC too. PD Aug 23 AoS from B2, case is ready to be scheduled for an interview since Nov 16. I guess I will get information within 30-40 days after you. I will start calling USCIS in Feb if there is no update from them.

Waah congrats! I wish we would just get the interview notice too. I want this <insert bad word here> business to be over. Let us know how it goes!

 

Btw everyone, I called on Tues and the level 1 rep was really reluctant to let me speak to a level 2 person. She set up a general inquiry SR (and also for someone to call back im a few days, which I don't know what to think of) and now it shows that it was assigned to an officer. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody calls me back and/or they send a copy-paste email saying that our case is still under review blah blah. 😧

Oh man, I feel for the guy but those kinds of cases are outliers, not the norm. It's alarming but I think the chance of this happening to most of us is low.

I did a live chat on USCIS website to check for any update on my case, as my case has been "case to be scheduled for an interview" since October, and they said that the Chicago office is still working on cases from January 2017. Does that mean it can take another 6 months to reach August filers?

Not necessarily....look at my case and go to the USCIS processing times looking for Milwaukee Office. From there it says processing cases from Feb but I just received an update in my case for the interview date. It all depends and there is no exact answer unfortunately.

My husband called USCIS yesterday to check on his EAD. He was told that our inquiry in December was never assigned someone to look at it. Then, they told him we couldn't speak to a Tier 2 officer until 2 requests went unresolved.
