Application for I-130/485 & 765 Approval and wait time

[JeRo13 0]

Category: 201 B INA PARENT of USC

Mailed AOS Package Application: July 25 (USCIS)

Form I-797/I-130 & I-765 Received - August 4 (USCIS OFFICE : NBC Lee Summit, MO)

Priority Date: July 31, 2017

Biometrics: August 25, 2017

Called 9/22 - says still processing. Online not updating either.

Contacted our Senator for Assistance to expedite issuance of EAD- 10/3

Office of the Senate contacted USCIS - 10/4

USCIS replied - Oct. 11- that my application is still within their current processing time. And continue to say: Your priority date for your I-765 is July 31, 2017, the National Benefits Center is currently processing cases with priority dates of April 2017.

 

Now, we have been waiting for almost 75 days which is this Saturday Oct. 14th, God knows how slow the processing takes place since they're only processing April to this date. April is 6 months away on top of the 75 days we have already been waiting, by that time it becomes current, it would have been outside their acceptable timeline of 75-90 days.

Can someone tell me if the same scenario has happened to you?

 

I just hang up with a USCIS Rep. and he too couldn't give me an answer, Only told me to call again after 75 days and get ready to be told to call again after 90 days. This is ridiculous!

What is the reason for the expedite???? You know expedites are only given out if there is an actual job offer right? As of right now the EAD is about 120 days, so you still have almost 2 months. Also AOS is processing about 9-12 months right now so you still have time as well. I don't know why you are trying to rush everything when you only filed in August.

 

Edit. Please fill out your timeline as well, it will help everyone be able to help you better.

The wait for AP and EAD is about 4 months on average right now. You can submit a service request after 75 days, but it won't speed up the process.

 

Was the expedite approved?

@geowrian- I'm not sure if they change their processing times because I got my EAD  within 2 weeks after Biometrics. Same thing with my Dad. But my Mom's seem to be so different as far as wait time is concerned. I guess we'll just have to wait :/, thanks.

When was this?

@cyberfx1024 - she got a job offer yes. But when we contacted the Senator in her area, she didn't request for the expedite, she just requested for an assistance. Im asking this questions because My dad and I didn't experience this type of a long wait., that's all.It seem to me that their processing has changed since July 31st 2017. Thanks for your reply.

That's you put up above so yes you did ask for an expedite then, but usually expedites for EAD are only given out if there was a official job offer. The AOS timeline right now is about 9-12 months and has been for a little while now. That is why I asked when did you do your biometrics and get your EAD because the timeline has stayed the same for a while now.

 

I am not trying to be harsh on you at all but when we are asking questions and you on only give it piecemeal and your timeline isn't filled out at all it's frustrating on our part.

@geowrian- the recent one was my Dad's which was last year. He did his Biometrics on April 20, 2016 and received his EAD on May 3, 2016

It was taking much less time back in 2016. As of right now, around 4 months (from I-765 filing) is typical.

@cyberfx1024 - Initially she requested that her case be looked at and see the reason for the delay of the issuance of the EAD, because she has a job offer and don't want to miss out on the chance, she didn't even know that there is such thing as Expedite application. The office of the Senate must have use that as a reason to expedite because that is what it contained on their reply to her If that was her initial purpose she should have provided documentation to back it up.

Thank you for that information. Yes, it is taking longer now due to increased filings since the election. People are trying to adjust status, remove conditions, and naturalize so it all increases the time it takes to complete things.

The timeline helps us know where you are in the whole process. You can change it when you go to your profile. It frustrates people because you kept piece mealing things out and expect a full response, and btw No I won't.
