AUGUST 2017 AOS Fillers (merged)

[TiruRiru09 49]

Any luck with EADs? I am getting really anxious waiting. I am on day 102.

[Throwaway1515 2]

Just got our Notice for approval EAD/AP , which was on Day 102. 

The website was never updated. We had to call USCIS to find out.

 

Hang in there!

I got my combo card in the mail today.  Now I can start looking for a job and get a driver's license.

 

I am surprised on how fast the card arrived.  Now I can wait in peace for my green card interview

Got your approval notice in mail or just via phone call with USCIS?

[minemar 96]

Btw my case never updated from "Received" So I suggest you to keep stalking your mailbox and hope for the best

Both,  called them and they said it was approved, the notice in mail arrived same day.  But going off the approve date in the letter.  102 days from NOA

 

Sounds like the website is not the most reliable

Did you talk to a Tier 2 officer when you called?  Because I've been hearing more and more people say that their online status never updated.  I thought for sure 99% of people would get the "APPROVED" or "CARD IN PRODUCTION" status.  What's the point of having the online status system if it's going to be this unreliable?!  Maybe the officers are being told to push as many applications as possible before the holidays and aren't taking the time to update online. I'm imagining papers flying everywhere as they rush around to get it all done.

The website has been having issues and isn't the most reliable source especially for this year, unfortunately the best way to see if you are approved is through snail mail. We just received our approval notice for ead/ap yesterday.

So, I called USCIS yesterday and they stated that my EAD was approved. However, it has not updated on the website. I am hoping the officer I talked to gave me the correct information.

This is good right? I guess you just need to figure it out if it is really approved, I would try to call USCIS at least three times and make sure they all state the same, just because all this is so confusing.

How do you call them whenever I call this it's long series of automated question

Congats. We received my wife’s approval notice in the mail today for ead/ap. Just waiting now for the combo card. 

 

So you got your combo card in 4 days after receiving the approval notice? I hope we receive the combo card that fast too. 

 

Good luck! Now on to job hunting. 😊

We received my wife’s combo card today. We are not home so I can’t wait to open the mail later. On to job hunting later. 😊

 

Good luck to all of us.
