Hi there! I've noticed that no one opened a discussion for July 2018 AOS filers, so I decided to do it. Since we're all going to be anxious, why not share and experience the anxiety with the onli

Hey @Emaillo! Welcome!

 

 'Ready to be scheduled for interview' means that your case is in a queue waiting for an interview appointment at your field office. How long it takes from here really depends on the backlog at the local office; in some cases you might be looking at 6 - 12 months or even more, others might only be weeks.

 

You should get another USCIS notification: "Interview was scheduled" when your interview notice is in the mail (although the trackers aren't always 100% reliable).

 

Based on current EAD adjudication history on VJ, your EAD will take a few more months to process - they're taking roughly 4.5 - 5.5 months at present

 

Fingers crossed that you get your interview date soon! 🤞

Thank you @alol !

So then, maybe I will not receive any news in a few months right? 
The status for the EAD is "Case was received" it has not changed since the begining. Is this normal? What is supposed to be the next status for that?

Yeah! Fingers crossed haha

Sadly yes, it could be a little while before there is more news, but keeping on the bright side, quite a few people seem to get interviews quickly, so there's always a chance!

 

I think the 'normal' next step in the i-765 is to have its status change to "Fingerprint review was completed" and then when the card is going to be shipped "Card is being produced". Given the delays to EADs at the moment, I don't think it's at all abnormal for the EAD to be stuck on "Case was received". 

 

As is evidenced by @GreyhoundMom88's case, the i-765 and i-485 cases are processed independently and (especially with the recent slowing of EADs) it's not uncommon for people to have their green card in hand before any action is taken on their EAD application!

Completed my biometrics yesterday.....and now we wait! 

 

I woke up to a text and email from USCIS saying case is ready to  be scheduled for an interview just one day after my biometrics was completed. I’m hoping the Detroit field office moves quickly. 

 

Any other July filers get their updates?

Hey everyone! Just did my fingerprints today!

 

Met a girl who married on B visa, she did her interview today. She said it took her 3 years to get her interview at our HI field office! She blames it on her brother who came to the states before her 😂. She brought her son to the interview and they took her passport. She didn’t get a “congratulations you’re getting your green card”. I don’t know they can take your passport at the interview.

 

Hope you all get your updates soon!

A USA citizenship applicant who was born in Taiwan may indicate Taiwan as the country of birth on their Form N-400 if he or she shows supporting evidence. Such applicants’ Certificates of Citizenship are issued showing Taiwan as country of birth. USCIS does not issue certificates showing “Taiwan, PRC,” “Taiwan, China,” “Taiwan, Republic of China,” or “Taiwan, ROC.” People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the country name used for applicants born in the PRC.

I cannot comment on your message because I don't know what "EAD" is...
