August 2017 AOS Filers, Part II

[mushroomspore 3,044]

BTW, am I the only August filer who still hasn't gotten their combo card? Sad!

[GoodVibesOnly 206]

I am updating my case status:

 

We just received a one page “Call in Letter” (Form G-56) requesting us to come for an interview next month and it is also signed by the field director. This letter is very different from our first “interview appointment” letter that later on got cancelled.

 

Does anyone know about this Call in Letter format? 

 

More details:

- Office location: address

- Date: date and time

- Ask for: (some initials here)

- Reason for appointment: I-485/I-130 interview 

- Bring with you: alien resident card and/or state issued photo ID. 

 

Also, the first time we got an interview letter it said to bring WAY MORE things such as photos, certificates, evidence, bank statement, bills, etc. and now it just says to bring ID (we will bring everything anyways).

 

Our guess is that it may just be the same interview request but in a different format :/

I just received my approval letters today.  I am sure the main card will be here in a couple days. P/D August 28. Been a long time coming. Don't have to drive dirty any more lol. Good luck on all those awaiting EAD

How weird! I've never heard of this before.

It’s been indeed a long time for some us. Finally this part of the process is over for you and you will have your EAD soon. Congrats!

I was right, just checked my informed  delivery and I see a package is expected from USCIS Corbin. Expected Mar 21

Woohoo!!

Seriously, I consider every combo card that comes in now to be a victory if it's been more than five months. A paralegal has informed me that he typically sees EAD approval about a month after RFE responses are received (this info's for all lurkers and regular posters here who have gotten a late RFE and are waiting on their combo cards still). <3 you guys and stay strong.

Omgsh!!! Thank you everyone specially@Hamilton you’ve been a huge help!!! Finally got the card in production update. The case tracker didn’t update. It was that other log in that sent me an email saying we took action on your case.

Hello,

 

I need advice on whether or not to cancel/reschedule my wedding celebration in France (!!!) that is supposed to take place at the end of May. My husband and I booked plane tickets months ago and are supposed to leave the US on May 10th. I still do not have my EAD/AP...

 

 

@spazkles! Any updates on your case? You should be getting the card in production notification any day now...

Thank you for checking in Hamilton! Nothing new, except that they DID confirm receipt at last (my case was updated on my uscis account, but not on the website.) So we'll see...

I'm hoping for the same lol. ugh finally, I'm pretty sure the ombudsman helped.

Did you do an account with https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/  it might help. that's where I saw my update.

Yes, that is where I saw that they received my RFE reply. I check there every day.

okay good, and they send email when there's an update as well. They just say we have taken an action on your case. when you sign it you'll see what it is. you should hear something soon. and I don't know if you contacted the ombudsman as well, they are a great help.
