Thank you!

 

It did show up, today ! I only get informed delivery on the day that the letters arrive, so this morning I did get the notification about my approval notice. In the afternoon I got an email with the tracking for a first class “package” from Lees Summit that is supposed to be here by Wednesday. Until today I didn’t get anything even though the notice seemed to have mailed on 1/2. 

 

I am not K1. I’m adjusting from VWP (ESTA). It seems like most K1 people got theirs first, so I’m happy that mine finally made it ! What visa are you adjusting from?

I am on h1b visa. My spouse is a LPR.

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good!

Just booked my medical exam appointment for next Monday and it's gonna cost me $350. Lab tests not included ugh.

Anyways, my interview is coming up next Friday. I know the results might not be done in 3 days but I absolutely can't get to a doctor earlier than Monday so... might get a RFE at the interview.

Already freaking out - 11 days to go!

what's the medical exam for, if you don't mind? Did they require you for your interview?

Just called USCIS and my EAD was approved on Jan 5th!!  Although I have not received the physical notice, still feel like the happiest person. Thought my experience is worth sharing.

 

NOA date: Aug 25th

(I know!!! it took awfully long, looks like the 90 days processing time no longer exists, as our attorney told us in the beginning, now be prepared of 4-5 months, if you get an RFE, it will be another story) 

RFIE: Sept 25th 

RFIE Received Oct 19th

EAD Approval: Jan 5th

 

Very interesting story: I contacted the congressional representative in late November as I was expecting a job offer, the lady has been very helpful and beyond. However, her liaison at the NBC sent her a SECOND RFE for my case arguing that my case was pending due to a second RFE. Neither me nor my attorney has received any SECOND RFE. My attorney insisted that this was an error. Since it's sent from the congressional representative, I can't ignore it. I sent our first RFIE responses to the congress office, she was so kind that she let her supervisor reviewed for me and they both agree that it should suffice. Then they escalated the inquiry to a supervisor in the NBC one week ago and got immediate response saying that this is their internal error, and I got approved in about a week.

 

I have also sent one SR myself on Dec 5th and got a rather generic response that is currently pending. Since that whenever I called they told me to wait. I figured tier two officers have WAY more knowledge than the representatives..you should all speak with a tier two if your case is out of processing time, which is now 4+ months. Good luck to everyone, you will all get approved soon!

Happy Monday October Filers!

 

We just received our interview notice from the San Jose office this weekend. It was a lot faster than expected as a lot of people who filed in October are still waiting for their EAD/AP. Here's our timeline:

 

10/18/17 - NOA for AOS and EAD

11/13/17 - Biometrics

11/24/17 - NOA for AP (We sent out our AP application after EAD but still received the combo card)

12/14/17 - EAD Approved

12/22/17 - EAD/AP Approved

12/30/17 - Received social security card (applied as part of AOS)

01/06/18 - Received Interview Notice for 02/02/18

 

For those who have not received their EAD/AP, hang in there. Should be any day now. Goodluck to all!

Did you already had a SSN?

Yes, you need form I693 for AOS. Since I didn't send it with my initial package, I'm supposed to bring it to the interview.

She did not already have her SSN. We requested one as part of her application. It arrived shortly after the EAD/AP approval.

I tried again today. It was 4 mins only waiting at 8 am in the morning. but was on hold for 30 mins and then I had a meeting to dropped the phone. Called them back and scheduled the call.. but still they have not called me back.

[EvieMN 105]

I woke up to 4 texts from USCIS today. That's the first time I have gotten text updates since the NOA1s.

They were all for the I-765 and on the website it says "Card was mailed to me" dated January 4th.

 

I'm obviously very happy but my interview is in 10 days. Do I have to take the card back to them? What if it doesn't get here in time?
