It does seem that F2A is slower than other categories. I am in the same boat. I wonder why USCIS does this differentiation

I am F2B so I guess my wait will be even longer :( ....

Hi Guys,    So happy to say, I received my NOA2s approvals for both my EAD and AP today!!! Two separate letters for each, although the EAD letter did say that my card will also show that I a

I don't think for EAD, the categories you belong matters. Only God knows the dysfunctional criteria they are using. I'm a K1 applicant for AOS. My petition date is 10/06/17, no RFE; 88 days now and still no EAD despite repeated calls and raising SR.   It is so frustrating!!!

I am trying to speculate because no one was issued EAD under F2A category on this forum, so I can guess is that they put us behind in the Queue vs. K filers, but I could be wrong, only God knows what happens at USCIS

Just wanted to share my (happy) timeline since I've been quietly watching everyone elses for about 2 months:

 

09/29/17 - Shipped paperwork via UPS to Chicago

10/03/17 - tracking shows Delivered (also the official received date on the 797 notices we received in the mail on 10/14)

10/10/17 - text & E-mail from USCIS (technically it was 10/11 at 12:25AM)

10/12/17 - Check cashed

10/14/17 - 3 797s received in the mail (AOS, EAD, AP)

10/27/17 - Biometrics appt notice received

11/09/17 - Biometrics appt completed at Baltimore office (as scheduled)

12/21/17 - EAD/APP approval letters received (2 letters/Approval date: 12/15)

12/23/17 - EAD/AP combo card received via USPS Priority Mail

 

A few related notes:

 

The EAD/AP paperwork was filed along with AOS based on a K-1 Visa - after the marriage date now, of course.

 

No AOS interview letter received as yet. But the EAD was the main thing we were waiting for.

 

As everyone else is reporting - nothing was updated on our online case status beyond "Case was received".

But thanks to this forum, I wasn't as stressed about that - because I knew that any given day good news could arrive in the mail.

 

The biggest wait with no news/change was between the Biometrics appt and the approval letters. (42 days)

 

Total days from Paperwork received date by USCIS to EAD/APP card in hand: 81 days

 

A big thanks to everyone in this forum who recommended "Informed Delivery". I signed up last month and it was very cool

seeing the scanned approval letters (just the front of the envelopes, of course) the morning of arrival - before they were in my mailbox.

 

I was also able to use Informed Delivery to know the EAD/AP card was on the way. As others have mentioned, with ID you can track packages

before arrival. (via the USPS website) This was awesome because I knew on 12/21 that the actual card was already on the way. The card arrived in a "slightly bigger than envelope size" USPS Priority mail

envelope but was still counted as a package by Informed Delivery.

 

Good Luck to everyone and I hope this info proves helpful to my fellow October filers...

The SR is raised but not assigned so no update whatsoever..

After how many days did you call them and they told you that the SR hasn't been assigned to anyone? Did they tell you anything else...like call or you will hear something in x amount of days?

Please let us know what they say. I will be calling them January 15th if I don't hear anything from them before then. They told me to wait for 15-30 days to hear something when I called to put in an SR.
