Might be this week, but could be next just keep your eye out for it  but it should arrive soon! 

 

I've heard that can happen, you wont need EAD now anyway if they've scheduled your GC interview. 

Do you think the interview date will be in August 2018?

I honestly don't know. Depends on your local office and when they have availability. Best just to wait for the letter

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case.

Your Case Status: Testing and Interview 

As of July 31, 2018, we are ready to schedule your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number MSC**** for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. 

If your case status indicates that you are currently in this step, you have either been scheduled for an interview or are in line to be scheduled for an interview. The amount of time your application will remain in this step will vary by office and is largely determined by the number of cases ahead of yours. The interview notice will have specifics about time, location and anything you will need to bring to your interview.

my case status changed to this in november 2017 and just this month (july 2018) changed to "interview has been scheduled"! so it could take a while to get the interview date. or it could be any day now.

 Good Evening Yaztalksalot 

I have a quick question if you don’t mind. 

When yousubmitted for EAD renewal application , the fees are waived. 

Is the Biometrics fee waived as well ($85)? Or the only form of payment is mailing the application off? 

 

Thank You!

Good Evening! 

 

Yes the fees are wavied including the biometircs too. The only expense is sending the application off itself, is correct just make sure you put a copy of your NOA1 for AOS in the packet and I stated that it was a renewal due to AOS still pending on my cover letter too!! Had no issues 😊 good luck!! Hope you hear from your GC soon and the renewal isn't necessary! 

[Visitor User 253]

The new USCIS account site did not update but the original one did. Would that be a concern?

No, that's fine.

I just received the email and text message of my EAD renewal application. It says 7-10 days for the NOA. Thank god. I was worried because I included exactly what the instructions said, I did not include a copy of the I-485 NOA neither the cover letter nor the previous EAD NOA. Just the listed things.

Could you give me the list of requirements as advised by USCIS?

[Limonata 46]

@Yaztalksalot i have been waiting for your blogpost on what you would be bringing to the interview 😊 

 

would you also be bringing your own employment documents? Such as W-4, i-9 submission, paystubs, health plan, insurance, etc

[cepero1988 7]

I advise the copies of the NOAs and the cover letter explaining, I just didn't know. I put in the envelope "I-765 RENEWAL" to avoid any confusion by their side.

 

No fee for renewal of C9 is required.
