February 2018 AOS Filers

[txkangaroo 91]

It's weird but on facebook group I saw a lot of people case status went to March 2018: case is ready to be scheduled an interview on the myaccount.uscis site these two days. Just checked mine and it updated to March 21 ready to be scheduled. Not sure if it's a glitch.

Same here. But it says "as of April 9". Seems like a glitch.

Our dates seem more accurate than those updated to March 14-15, since there were a lot of them (PD ranged from Feb 2017 through Feb 2018). I tend to believe they updated the phrase for this ready status in new system, so all were at "scheduling" before changed to "ready for schedule" on March 14-15. Our cases were submitted and responded to RFE later, thus it got ready status whenever USCIS updated it. Like I responded March 8 and got a courtesy letter on March 21. It was ready since March 22.

Hi everyone!

 

We had our interview on Tuesday, 14th August 2018.

 

Concurrent filing of I-130/I-485/I-765 & I-131 sent: 01/20/2018

Notice date of case received: 02/02/2018

Biometrics: 02/26/2018

RFIE: 02/22/2018

RFIE response received: 04/04/2018

EAD/AP approved: 06/26/2018

EAD/AP received: 06/30/2018

SSN received: 07/03/2018

Interview scheduled: 07/03/2018

Interview Date: 08/14/2018

 

We were called in for our appointment about 45 minutes late.  The officer was friendly, yet professional.  He introduced himself and shook our hands and then took us down the corridor to his office.  We both took a seat and the officer checked our IDs before asking us to stand and swear to tell the truth.  He then looked through our file and started asking questions: full name/previous name/date of birth/place of birth - to each of us in turn.  As the officer looked through our file, he would ask us a random question - looking at whoever he wanted to answer that question (such as: date we wed, where we married, date proposed, how my husband proposed, names of each of our parents, who was at our wedding, etc.).  The officer asked if we had any photos of our wedding, to which we produced an album.  He flicked through them and asked who various guests were in the photos, what has happening, etc. and took a couple of photos for the file.  He also took the I-693 and went through that.  He asked a majority, if not all, of the I-485 yes or no questions.  He asked how we met, where we went when we met in person, etc.  We took a tote bag full of evidence, including another photo album and a large envelope full of correspondence which he didn't look at.  He asked if we had any other evidence we wanted to add to our file.  As we had only sent a very small amount with our initial application, we had a bunch of stuff to give him:

 

1)      Joint bank account

2)      Joint auto insurance

3)      Clubhouse gym and facilities residence cards showing photo and address

4)      Joint health insurance

5)      Joint store cards

6)      AAA

7)      Notarized affidavit from husband's parents also advising that we currently live with them

8        Joint 2017 tax return

9)      Family phone plan

 

The officer spent some time organizing our file with all the evidence and then said he needed to check something with his supervisor.  He came back after a few minutes and asked to see my passport.  He then asked about previous visits to the US - for how long and who I was visiting.  After that he said he was recommending us for approval and handed us two slips to sign regarding the removal of conditions.  The interview took around 45 minutes in total and felt fast paced. 

 

The egov and dhs sites have been updating randomly and out of sync.  We received the I-797 for the I-130 a few days after the interview, on the 21st our status on the gov website changed to Card in Production (dhs one has not updated for I-485) and we received the I-797 on 25th.  Every day I check USPS in the hope the card is on its way!  No sign of it yet!  Hope it arrives soon!

I haven't received my EAD yet..

 

The only update I see on the my.uscis.gov website is that the case was received on 2/22. The receipt isn't recognized on the egov.uscis.gov either.

 

Anyone else not getting updates about their EAD? Last time I called (two weeks ago), they said they were processing 1/26 PD, but I know a lot of the Feb filers have received theirs already.

Today, my I-765 status changed to "New Card is Being Produced.  We ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSC*******, and will mail it to the address you gave us. "

Hoping to finally get my combo card next week so I can start working!

Try to do e-Request to follow up on your account --->    https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayONPTForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=onpt  

I did mine last 08.29.2018 and I got an update today that my EAD card is being produced.
