Honestly not entirely sure how accurate this status really is. I am following July filers and lots of them have been receiving their EAD this past week (no expedite request). 

Sure, from my estimate, August filers can start to expect EAD from notices from October 16th through November, without expedited request.

Will pray for that. Positivity. 🙏🏻

By my estimates, I don't expect to hear about the EAD/AP until Nov 06 at the earliest (90 days from my PD) -- and maybe not even until early December (120 day mark). Not requesting an expedite, though I may submit an SR after 90 days.

Totally will ya....specially since I don't think SR are incredibly helpful. Let's wait and cross our fingers.

Happy Monday to all my fellow August Filers!  Guys  guess what?  Our time is almost here!  Most of us should be getting our EAD Card in 3- 4 weeks (early to mid November) exactly 3 months guys. We waited, we got anxious, we got bored but we all will be working soon.....I am feeling great today guys.  Have a blessed week and please don't let anyone dampen your spirit.

Check this out Isabel:  I hope this helps you to prepare for your interview.

Questions at Interview

During the interview, it is rare that you will be separated and questioned about your marriage independently. Although, rare, the USCIS may use their discretion, and we want to prepare you for the worst case scenario. The USCIS officer may inquire into virtually all aspects of your relationship, including:

· What is your spouse’s birth date, place of birth, names of parents

· Where spouse lived and worked when you first met

· When, where and how you first met

· Where you went on your first date

· Where marriage proposal was made; who proposed

· Who bought wedding rings and where

· Number of people at wedding

· Where reception was held

· Where parties went after the wedding ceremony

· When did you first have sexual relations; when was the last time

· When was the last overnight trip together

· What was the last movie or television program you saw together

· Where and how did you spend holidays

· What gifts did you exchange for various occasions

· What time to you both go to sleep last night

· What did you both wear to bed

· What did you eat for breakfast that morning

· What was your morning routine

· How may keys do you need to go from the street into your apartment

· How may phones are in the home and where are they located

· Cell phone numbers of each other

· Whose voice is on the answering machine

· How many television sets are in the home and where

· Are there DVD or VCR’s attached to the televisions

· What is covering the living room or bedroom floor; color of rug

· How many bathrooms; whether you have a shower or shower/tub, shower curtain or door

· Draw diagram of your apartment

· Where you do your laundry, grocery shop

· Work schedules of each other

These are just some examples of the level of detail the USCIS officer may require from you both. It is impossible to predict the exact questions that each officer will require, but you should be prepared to answer to this degree of difficulty.

NOTES:

1. Submit COPIES of all documents to USCIS, not originals

Bring the originals with you to the interview: USCIS has a right to see them

1. Any document in a foreign language must be translated into English.

The marriage-based green card process can be confusion, burdensome and intimidating. It would be in your best interest to consult with a qualified immigration attorney about the process. There are many areas in which it is easy to make fatal errors. This is a critical point in your lives, and you don't want to jeopardize your new life together.

OMG! This is amazing! Thank you so much!! 😊😍

I've been looking for people who had the same field office as me! I have my interview there as well for October 13 next week! Congratulations on getting your interview scheduled.

That’s great! How was the interview? Any tips? I would love to hear how it went.

Hi!

 

So it's been 77days for me. Technically I could submit a case inquiry right? So anyway I clicked the "submit a case inquiry" button but the options don't really correspond. Is it better to call? How do people do SRs?

 

Thanks

[AlexaT 15]

eh I guess I always post too early and then I can't find the edit button

Anyway all the info I was looking for was right here: 

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/tip-sheet-employment-authorization-applications-pending-more-75-days

 

I'm not really sure what to do still as I feel like it's not outside of normal processing times.

 

Has anyone found SRs to be of any use? Basically people tell you what's up but it doesn't make the case go any faster, does it?

 

Thanks

I'm almost at day 75 myself. You could submit an SR, but then you may not be able to follow up or submit another SR for 30 days (105 days). Something to keep in mind.

Ok thanks. So does the SR have an impact on the case or is it just for us to be informed on where it is at? 

Do you think it would be better to submit an SR on day 90?

Just FYI.....my case status just changed for "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview". Hoping to receive the letter soon.
