I have high hopes that it’s probably your AP card along with the RFIE response. “Sorry it took us this long” 

 

here’s to good news!!

It's definitely not... I checked the dates more closely and:

 

Jan 24 - The dates on these two letters (receiving them today); same date as my expedite request was denied

Jan 29 - Date of RFIE

 

So I think one letter must be "sorry we denied your expedite request" -- but  I already got a letter dated Jan 24 that said that. Not sure why they'd be sending it again? Unless its now new RFIEs on the EAD and AP applications....

 

Now to wait all day for USPS..... IM SO FED UP OF WAITING.

When is the cancelled interview - this week, right?

 

 

No, it is next week.  

 

I wonder if we are the only thread (August filers) with people still waiting for EAD/APs. I haven’t seen much action lately in earlier threads.

So you’ll know today, right? Oh man hopefully it’s just something good showing at least some progress.

Since it's dated before I got the RFIE (Jan 29), there's no way it's good news. But hopefully it's not BAD news. Hopefully it's just them saying something generic like "still within processing times".

I see now. Yeah hopefully something generic. Weird it’s dated that earlier though. So it’s probably about the expedite you made, their formal response.

Oh my god, I just checked USPS Informed Delivery, and we have TWO MORE letters from USCIS being delivered today, with the date Jan 24 (same date as my original RFIE). 

 

Now I'm freaking out that they sent us multiple letters with different types of RFIEs and we only responded to one letter (the one we got)......

Guess what...i think it's good news...you will receive two approval mails...one for AP and EAD.... am going to congratulate in advance

It's dated the same day as they closed the expedite though... Ah I'm so confused. Not sure why they'd send me TWO letters about denying my expedite.

 

And on Jan 29, the Tier 2 officer said that our EAD/AP was frozen because the entire file was frozen because of the RFIE.

one thing I can tell you is...i did hear and read that if anyone gets a RFIE then EAD/AP timeline will restart. But as soon as the day after they received my RFIE documents my AP/EAD was approved.

Could be now, could be a couple more hours. I'll update when I get them.

[Hamilton 511]

Well, it's 5pm and still no mail because USPS has a sick sense of humor.

Okay, so we got ONE letter from USCIS - for some reason it's showing as two letters in Informed Delivery, but I think it's just a duplicate of the same letter. 

 

It just says "your expedite request was serious but not an emergency".

 

edit: Also something weird - the envelope was open! It had been stapled closed with one staple. Wonder what happened there?!?
