Hello everyone. I am applying for my EAD renewal and I was wondering for Part 2 Question 25. "Your Current Immigration Status of Category (for example B-2 visitor, F-1 Student, parolee, deferred action, or no status or category) what I should put. I originally came into America on an E-3 (which is the uniquely Australian version of a H1-B) and met my husband while I was working on that visa. I have already had my EAD approved and because stuff is taking SO LONG I need to apply for my renewal. Should I put "E-3" or Adjustment of Status" on my form?

 

Thanks!

@DWolf How did your SO come here? I assume it wasn't a K1? I wonder if that somehow changes the policy as all the posts I have seen about the two year rule seem to be K1 maybe just a coincidence.

No.  She was an Au Pair and had a J1. Came here in 2017.

Anyways - some new news.  The immigration officer CALLED my wife on Friday 10/16 and said he just approved our Case. YAY!

However - We have seen NO Case Status change since then, it's still "Interview is Complete but my Case is Under Review" (which was what he switched it to while we sent in the new Medical Exam results).

When we had our interview on 9/27, our I-130 Online status was updated that afternoon and moved to "Approved".

Anyone experience this before?  Any advice if it doesn't update any time soon?

If you have a I-485 Pending you can put in "I-485 Pending" in that section.  That should mean your change of status is spousal which is the (c)(9) category.

We put "I-485 Pending" in for my wife's application.

My green card just got approved! No interview. 

 

EB3. Interview was supposed to be in April but cancelled. Not really heard anything. In May it was transferred again and silence since. In USPS informed delivery this morning I saw two letters from USCIS NBC to wife and I so been waiting for the postman. Opened the letters and is the 797 notice saying permanent residence approved! USCIS portal still showing transferred to a new office so no idea what's going on there.

 

Letter says physical card with be with us within three weeks so let's see how that goes

I just received my notice to appear for interview today. We were “ready to be scheduled for an interview” since late December.  Finally!!! It’s been a long wait for us.

Hey guys, I just recieved my EAD card with my surname spelled wrong. I've put the e-request on USCIS website and I have to send the card back to the Benefits Center. Has anyone experienced the same thing? My biggest question is : Can I start applying for jobs while my card is there and the error is being fixed? I'm so sad it happened and I'd like to start applying for jobs as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for your help, guys

Thanks.. Mine is July 2019 (EB3 as well) but I filed my I-485 in late January, done biometrics, got EAD and replied to a couple of RFE's but no other news..

Based on your timeline, I'm just wondering if I can expect any news soon in the next weeks or if I am looking at December..
