No move for me either. This is making me sad

Don’t be sad. Should be our turn next week. Cheers

is that a good a thing to be interviewed first?

When you have a green card you don't need an EAD/AP, it's a resident status so it's better in terms of what you show your employer to get a job.

The EAD/AP is to travel outside of the country and to work, have a social security number and all the benefits that come with it. These are included in the green card, so it is a good thing. Plus applying for EAD/AP is free when applying for AOS. It used to be faster to get your EAD/AP but lately the green card has been faster 🤷‍♀️

Anyone else waiting for a response on RFE? Mine currently sitting at 22 days since they received it, hope to hear something soon getting impatient. Local office Boston.

Waiting 28 days since received. We are out of Chicago though and they are notoriously long.

Mine has been received 16 days ago so it's a bit reassuring to see I'm not the only one waiting... I hope you will both get news very soon ! Have you tried calling USCIS ? It worked for some people to make their case move !

Since we are not outside of normal processing times they won’t tell us much if anything. As far as making their cases move, I really feel it is more coincidental than actually a result of calling in. I could be wrong. The wait is hard, but worth it in the end.

Just woke up to a status change on the new website (not old). Interview scheduled. No date yet, but hopefully mail will arrive soon. Timeline attached.

Hi! I’m hoping someone can clarify what I believe to be true, I did post a while ago with the information directly from the I-485 instructions.

 

K-1 holders who had a medical in their home country are not required to attend the interview with a I-693 right?

Hi

I think you do not need the I-693 if you did the medical less than a year ago;

Otherwise, USICS would have asked you to take with you that document to the interview.

Also, it is important to focus on gathering documents that probe your marriage is bonafide

An update: 

 

USCIS App just notified me that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview as of October 31 2019.

 

Finally they updated the website.

Hi Cata,

 

did you call USCIS to check on your case status?

 

and if you did, where did you call?

I believe no one has theirs yet and many are getting green card interviews first

Ideally , EAD/AP would come earlier than interview so you can keep up with your life lol, but later on  I've seen that let's say your GC was scheduled for Jan 1st . You would be getting EAD days before interview or not at all, causeyou already have temporal GC
