It has been more than a month since i sent SR. Should I do one more or no? I am moving to other state in two weeks and i dont know what I should do... should I do after I move or before I leave? Of course I will change my address and do post office mailing to new address stuff since my hubby is in military i need to find the house once we get there. What if I get my EAD right after i leave here? I asked leasing office know that i might get important mail and they said they cannot check for us.. :/ Should I call the USCIS office after I move if they sent it while i am moving? Do they let you know if i call and ask? Thanks in advance!

All you can do really is file for the change of address...from my understanding you don't know yet where?

 

I found that SR are completely useless, mine has never been answered since November 31st or so...Congressional inquiry would be the way to go.

 

If you call, tier 1 officer will only be able to tell you what you see online...tier 2 officer might be able to let you know....but for that tier 1 needs to agree to transfer you...

Congratulations! 

 

Good to know the website might work! 

 

We also raised SR on the same day as you. Also contacted congressman. Got a job offer and then requested expedition about 10 days ago. Still no result...

I haven't heard a word from our congressman, so I doubt that he had any effect on the process. He's known for being a bit unhelpful...

The service request completion seems more likely, though it could just be a coincidence too. Did you make your SR online or over the phone?

 

I really hope that your approval is coming soon so you can start working.

My SR was online. Expedition request was over the phone. Before the SR was looked at by USCIS, the expedition request was made. So I guess the first one was automatically cancelled.

Not sure when exactly the status changed, but I got a text at 7:46 pm central time that there had been an update to the case and that's when I checked it.

2 different letters are appearing on the informed delivery dashboard! At first I thought they scanned the same letter twice, but then my husband pointed out some differences. 

 

One says 'Employment authorization and advanced parole are approved' but I'm wondering what the other one is? Could it be the card already? Though I thought the card was sent in different packaging. Hopefully these are actually delivered today so the stress of waiting to find out will end.

I could be wrong but I want to shout for the Approval Letter. Your card will come in a week or so.

Could be interview notice?

I considered that too, but that would be really quick considering my local office is one of the slower ones (Chicago). I would be happy if it was that though! 

 

Hopefully I won't have to wait too much longer to find out..

top one is your ead approval notice. yes i know the top one says ead and ap but it is just for your ead but it has some info about the ap maybe that's why it's written that way.

bottom one is your ap approval notice.

 

the actual card will come in a different and slightly larger envelope and will not show in the scans on Informed Delivery. It will be shown under "Packages" tab instead and will be a USPS branded priority mail envelope.

Hi all!

 

My green card got approved today!!

 

Interview: Lasted 35-40 minutes

The interviewer was great and asked a lot of questions ranging from when we met first, how did we know this was serious, how did the engagement happen, who was at the wedding, what plans for the future etc

But we also talked about some of my husband and my interest ranging from sports, beer to our favorite grocery store.

 

In the end he stamped my forms and said my card was approved. He did note that our processing times were faster than average (which I know we lucked out with)

 

 Good luck to you all! i know its not easy to hear that things will happen as and when they do but hang in there!
