Hello everyone, 

 

Please help! 

 

I got a notification today that says USCIS ordered a new card under my EAD application but AP status still the same "Application Received". 

 

Am I going to get my AP card/approved later or it will come together? I really want my AP approved. 

 

Thank you, guys. 

I got same notifications last week but I received my card after 5days as combo ead/ap, nothing to worry ☺️ congrats!

Hey guys, 

 

i havent been on here for MONTHS, im a July I-485 filer, no time to read three as I’m working full time , have a toddler, and I’m pregnant with twins. 

 

I need some peace of mind . I received my update August 13th that our interview is ready to be scheduled and they’d send a letter..... I’m still waiting 3 months later. My sister got hers 2 weeks after her update.... ( she filed I-485 May 2018) 

 

am I missing something here? 

 

Obv USCIS customer service reps don’t know anything, my husband doesn’t speak fluent English, they won’t talk to me, they just tell him that the update says they WILL send the interview notice and it’s not time specific and our case is still within normal processing time. Our twins our due January - February and I’m kinda stressing out from everything .

 

Is is there anything we can do ?

 

please and thank you 🙏🏼 

 

Ps: We did just get work permit for him end of October.  

 

You need to relax and stop stressing. When the interview is scheduled u will get the letter in the mail, so all u can do is wait, Your case is different from your sisters so hang in there

Hey guys,

 

Decided to check to see if i have any update via the old website which is more up to date anyway and it says my case approved for EAD/AP 11/15/18 and new card is been produced. I thank God and i'm so happy right now and can now work finally. Just have to wait to receive the notice. Goodluck to the rest of you waiting, hopefully soon

Maybe this could help ease some minds of those who are  waiting for an EAD and got an  RFE.  

 

We got an RFE  and we took over one full month to  return  the requested evidence (we had to wait for a document). I  know they say this will slow down your EAD by at least a month; our lawyer  said it would slow it  down 2-3 months. However, yesterday,  we received a notification that our card is being processed and shipped to our address.  

 

In conclusion,  I don't  think  an  RFE  impacts EAD processing time. 

 

Good luck to those still waiting!

Congrats! Could you tell us, was it a RFE or a RFIE?

As far as I know, it will depend in background checks and how long they take. It's not guaranteed to be the same timeframe for everyone so there isn't much you can do except wait. Also depends on the wait time at your local office (if different to your sisters). Sorry

same office. we live in same neighborhood..  why would background check take longer?  does it depend on the country they are from?

thanks for your help!

Mine updated to "Case is Ready to be Scheduled" on August 27th. Still haven't heard anything from them, but I don't think there's anything to worry about. 🙂

 

Personally, I would just love to have my EAD already. So close yet so far. Not working is driving me nuts. LOL

you will get it soon. we received on 10/22.  yours is coming.

Hello guys.. how’s is everyone doing? Hope all is well. 

So this is my AOS transition since I came in the US.

May 16, 2018: Arrived in the State of Minnesota, in the City of Saint Paul with ZIPCODE 55105. 

Waited for few days for my I-94 Form information to be available online. It is needed to get SSN(it depends, some states don’t)

June 01, 2018: SSN arrived with my maiden name.
June 05, 2018: Got Married
June 25, 2018: submitted AOS with EAD & AP
July 05, 2018: Received rejection notice, packet got returned. The reason is I filled up an old form. Resubmitted corrected packet the next day.
July 12, 2018: NOA1 for AOS EAD AP and Biometrics schedule arrived.

Service Center: NBC (National Benefits Center)
July 30, 2018: Biometrics done
July 31, 2018: Biometrics review was completed
August 06, 2018: Case is Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview 
Nov 07, 2018: New Card is Being Produced
Nov 08, 2018: AED & AP got Approved 
Nov 09, 2018: Card Was Mailed to me
Nov 13, 2018: NOA2 for AED, AP and new SSN  (same number but in my married name) came.
Nov 14, 2018: EAD-AP Combo Card came in the mail.

 

Now waiting for international schedule 

 

To be continued...

Okay- for clarification, there are typically two statuses in regards to interviews 1) "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" or 2) "interview is scheduled?"
those are two very different things.

 

The first one means NBC is done with your case- they see no need for RFEs and case will go to your local office. How quickly your local office gives you an interview depends on their backlog which can be days to a year.

So if this is the case for you, then you are FINE. They're not sending you anything yet. Your sister (if you guys have the same local office) is lucky. 

The second status actually means that your local office has scheduled your interview.

If this applies to you, then yes- there's a problem. Because you should get the notice in roughly 2 weeks or less from when you got the notification.

 

However, based on what you said, am more likely to lean to the first one.
take a deep breath. Take care of yourself and your local office will get to you eventually. 
congrats on the upcoming baby!

Gn&Ln is correct

IF you mailed EAD/AP at the same time and none of them were rejected, then you get a combo card.

AP from my understanding, will most likely not update.

 

Congratulations on the EAD/AP approval!!

Today it hit home. We are so ready to get his EAD and move forward to Indiana. I'm burnt out at work and this constantly weighs on us. I hope we get good news soon.

When are you and Andy moving?
and is your move DEPENDENT on when you get EAD??

Ok, thanks. For what I read, it seems that EAD/AP processing time doesn't get as affected by and RFE than it can by a RFIE, at least in some cases. I got a RFIE a while ago, so we'll see.

Thank you guys for the help. This morning, the status changed to approved. Hopefully, the card will be here next week.

March. We would have moved sooner, but we just bought concert tickets. We had hoped to move in February, so we still have time, but we're getting uneasy. There's a difference between having it and knowing we can move and moving while we wait. You know?
