Awesome congrats !

You should fill in your timeline 😊

When did you have your biometrics ?

I filled in my timeline on my profile page - see there for additional information  my initial biometrics appointment was scheduled fro January 24, 2018, but I completed it via early walk-in on January 16, 2018. Filed for AOS and combo card on December 19, 2017.

We have the same dates, including Biometrics appointment!  I hope we both get approved soon, like tomorrow!  ha ha!  We have travel booked for May 5th... Needless to say, we are stressing big time!

I have the same timeline with most people here. i still haven't gotten my EAD. Hopefully something comes in the mail in the next few weeks .. i just can't wait anymore.

PD; DEC 15, 2017

BIO; JAN 23

Heard nothing since then, no RFE, NO RFIE, Just pure silence from their end

Wow, about 9,5% denied at my local office, and they only received 527 on the top sheet of your link. 
Wondering what denial reasons on family based AOS are. Hard to believe that almost 10% marriages are not bona fide.

I think some may just be unsigned forms ... maybe ?  

Check out Illinois I'm like dieing reading this over 12000 applications pending in the quarter wow..

11.5 % denied    crazy

[TearsOfBabylon 1,680]

Yeah I was just wondering if "denied" means finally denied, or denied because of wrong fee, missing papers, anything that would end up in the applicant just re-submit with the correct things.
Can't imagine such a high percentage being told "finally denied - go home". You know what I mean!

Hello everybody!

 

As I am new to this forum, I am not sure if you talked about it already, so I would like to apologize if it's the case.

 

If I understood correctly, the local office doesn't deal with our EAD or travel authorisation, the National Benefit Center does. Right now, we can see online that it takes between 2.5 to 5 months to received it (the first number is the time it takes to complete 50% of cases (the median). The second number is the time it takes to complete 93% of cases.) More info here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/#mainContent

 

Today, the case inquiry date is October 30, 2017 (yesterday was October 29). Our application will only be considered as "outside normal processing time" when this date will be December 15, 2017...meaning we shouldn't worry for now (even if I am definitely getting extremely tired of the wait!). 

 

Sorry again if that was discussed already.

 

Have a great day all!

Hi All,

 

Wanted to update everyone. My fiancee finally is approved for EAD and AP as of this morning. I checked the informed delivery email and sure enough there were two envelopes from USCIS. We got lucky and the approval notice for the EAD had just enough of the first line showing through the clear window that I could read that it was approval for employment authorization. It was still a long wait to confirm I hadn't misread it. The mail man always seems to come later in the afternoon. However, we have not seen any updates on the website yet, neither through the case tracker nor the USCIS Account where there is more information. Hopefully we'll get the actual card before the end of next week!

 

For those of you wondering, our timeline is as follows:

 

Mailed AOS Package: Dec. 13, 2017 (roughly, I forget the exact Date)

USCIS Received: Dec. 15, 2017

NOA1: Dec. 19, 2017

NOA2: March 29, 2018

Days to Approval from USCIS Received: 104

Days to Approval from NOA1: 100
