I also got an email on December 10th. I'll attach a picture of it below. 

 

@C90 was your email like that as well? 

Yes it was! I know that most people get them (the ones who requested to be informed by email) I was just a little surprised that all through September and partially October I got this email like every week and then they completely stopped. All of the sudden I had one again in my inbox this morning, so I assumed it was just another automatic thing, but it's nice to think they're actually getting close to my case lol. I wait patiently

Hi folks, just wanted to chime in that we got the EAD "card ordered for production" e-notice last night. Early Sept (timeline in profile) - filed together with AP/131, but will need to wait and see if it's indeed a combo card or not.

Wow nice, congrats! So they started touching September! Hopefully the other officers aren't too slow and the September boxes start flying off the shelves!

Just got our AP approval in the post! (of course it came a day after we called asking about it, haha!) Best of luck to you September filers! x

Idk if I'm just blind, but does anyone know if there's a way to see if someone expedited their EAD? I see some people (I think I counted about 4 or 5 already) from middle September being approved already but I can't find any info about expediting on their timeline tho. Just wondering if there's one very hardworking officer at USCIS lol

No. VJ doesnt have an option to disclose that on the timeline. Kinda sucks because I have read ppl in other months starting rumors that Oct and Nov have started receiving EAD approvals even when I fact they are expedited and the poster doesn't disclose it. I'm going to report my post here and make a suggestion to the admins.

It would be a lot better if people could disclose that. Would take away a lot of frustration and question marks. Keep us updated!

It would. And the ppl who receive expedited approvals don't realize that either. A lot of disheartened fellow filers for no reason. 

I'll let you know if anyone messages me back.

Hey fellow filers. I haven’t posted on this forum but I’ve been following since September, when I also filed my husband’s paper work. Our AOS application was received August 31st 2018 and NOA September 7th, filed along with EAD and AP applications. We did my husband’s fingerprinting the first week of October and even tried expediting AP to see his father who had a stroke the week before his fingerprinting, but were unsuccessful. After hearing nothing for two more months, we received notice in January regarding his medical examination form not being sent, so we completed that the following week. On January 27th 2019 we received an interview date in the mail. So his interview is on February 27th 2019. Overall September 7th to February 27th, I believe we’re very fortunate. Six months of time when I thought it would take a year or two before an interview. Though my husband and I had hoped to receive his EAD/AP combo card to travel to see his family this month, we’ll have to plan on March instead.

 

Our local office is Portland.

 

I hope many others on this discussion form will also receive some good news or combo cards soon! Best wishes!

Hi all! I’ve been following this forum since September and I post here for the first time.

I got the status change last night that my AP and EAD were approved! It has been almost 5 months from NOA1.

Package sent on Aug 29th, Received NOA1 on Sep 5th, Biometric on Oct 4th.

Hope you are getting AP/EAD approval soon as well!
