I saw the processing times changed.  my husbands ead card has already expired. We’re now hanging on the extended 180 days notice. The new card hasn’t come in yet.

I would get your US Senator(s) involved. They can shake the tree for you. 

 

The Chicago field office was one of several offices to experience a system glitch, which stopped scheduling interviews for cases filed in 2017 and started scheduling cases filed in 2018. Eventually all field offices affected caught this and have since then resumed processing cases filed in 2017. 

 

I would definitely have the senator shake the tree for your I-485 interview and your EAD renewal. Your automatic 180 days extension is about to expire. 

 

All the best,

Thanks.. But my 180 day extension will expire in April. Still some months to go

Congresspersons can kick the tree. US Senators can REALLY shake it. US Senators have way more clout.

That's what I think, but I had already contacted them and dont want to contact many. I'll wait for my new renewed EAD hopefully by mid Jan, and then try to contact the Senators

I'm a little lost at this point by knowing where or who to contact. Do you all have a number or an email of whom we can reach out to?

Update (for California) from my lawyer - they're seeing interviews being scheduled now for their clients who filed in May / June 2017. The time is slowly ticking towards us filers in August / September 2017... 

 

Keep the faith! Good thoughts and wishes to us all.

Does anyone have an example of the structure of the email that they used to send out to their senator about a case? This would be really helpful. I also found that my husbands EAD renewal is out of normal processing time.

Finally got the update the card is in the mail.

Hi everyone, it seems like a lot of us still waiting for our interview notices, oh well our time is coming 🙏🏼

[ceeq 53]

I called in due to our EAD renewal was out of processing time and the next day, we received this notice. Waiting for the letter to know when the schedule is! Almost 2 years of waiting!

Seems like a few folks interview has been scheduled for 2/25. If you know a few resources of what else to bring for the interview along with Q+A's please let me know.
