Hello guys.

Quick update I received EAD card on Saturday..

Very happy..

Now waiting..

Can anyone tell me that when they are going to give me interview notice?

Edit: nevermind. Just saw the reply above. I didn’t go until the last page. 

 

Congrats! 120 days are ok. Most of my friends waited 6-7 months.

The interview notice won’t be until sometime next year possibly imo. Interview is still based on priority date and the workload of your local office.

Congratulations Bhumi!!! 

 

I have noticed that February and March were advancing and being approved. I knew one of us was going to be approved soon, congratulations Bhumi. The normal is not 120 now, its 145 by the estimates here on Visa Journey.

Congratulations @Bhumi 

 

And i have some good news of my own, my husband just called me from work to tell me that my status changed to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview"!!!! I just did my fingerprints on Friday, i'm freaking out! is this supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing???? So when should i expect the interview and book an appointment for the medical exam? i checked the processing times of my filed office, it says 9.5 to 21 months, which i don't mind since i my i130 is still pending, my PD is May 18, 2017

@Holly-ando great! I expected you would get the status change soon. Do not expect interview notice anytime this year. Based on things I’ve read some persons have had that status for over a year and some. It depends on your local office and the visa bulletin so be prepared for the possibility of still a long wait. I’d hold off on the medical for awhile.

Thank you @Bfree3 for the quick reply, that's reassuring. Did you get the 'Case is ready for interview" status??

Congrats! I think you submitted your paperwork a week before me. So I’m hoping that my status will change in a couple of a weeks as well. I’m more focused on my work permit right now but that would be a nice to have

Yea I’m pretty sure all of us have it besides the newer folks and qaf2a who already had interview. I think one person had “fingerprints review is done” or something like that... it seems it’s different for certain people but sadly we still have to wait 🤷🏽‍♀️ Have a great day! I’m hoping we all get our ead soon so we can pass the time while working🤗

Actually no i just submitted on mid July @thepanda here i put my signature in case you need the details

I can't wait for EAD as well, as Bfree3 said, it's the best way to pass time and feel we're leading a normal life!

I was on my phone therefore I couldn't see you signature before. Now I see it. Don't get tooooo excited. :) Mine changed to "Case is ready to be Scheduled for an Interview" one day after my biometrics and after one month it changed to "Fingerprint Review Was Completed". 

If it stays this for you,  I am course happy for you! :)

Hi all, so happy to hear all the good news! We are just back from a long long vacation(before we left, I was checking online status too much everyday and was starting to lose my mind). So we did a vacation with little internet access, which felt really good. 

 

When we came back, there was the approval notice of I-131 in the mail(good news but no use.) Then online status of EAD changed to card is being produced a few days ago(but no actual card yet). We waited almost 160 days since filing in the beginning of March.

Hope we receive the card soon! And hope everybody get what they want soon!

[Bfree3 132]

Awesome @QAF2A glad to hear that and also really glad you were able to get away and enjoy time with your loved one. Seems like it takes about a week to get the card from the status change. Be sure to update your signature and timeline. Much thanks

We got a notification today saying that the I-765 card is in production.  It has been around 160 days since we submitted in early March. I assume the card mentioned is the combo card with both 131 and 765.  Good luck to all!
