As I was telling someone how worried I was to not have a decision yet, I looked online and it said new card being produced! Anyone know generally how long it'll take for it to get here? 

Ours took 7 days 

 

Jan 22: New Card is being produced 

Jan 23: Card was approved for both EAD and AP

Jan 24: Card was mailed to me

Jan 27: Card was picked up by the USCIS

Jan 29: Card was delivered to my by the post office 

Jan 30: SSN received

A question to the folk who have already received their EAD's...(Apart from @May531 answer 😛) 

How long did it take for you to receive your EAD card after your case switched to "card is being produced"? Also, if you asked to be given an SSN alongside of it, did that arrive at the same time or did that arrive later? 

To anyone who answers this, thank you very much in advance !

Hello

 

for us it was about a week. There were several online status updates past the “card is produced” stage. One of the updates, about a day after the “card was mailed”, had a USPS tracking number. It was delivered via priority mail so it was relatively fast (by USCIS standards).

good luck!

Card is being produced Monday, EAD card arrived on Saturday that same week. Still waiting for SSN a week later.

We had our AOS interview today in New Orleans. The interview was pleasant. They provided my wife an interpreter via phone conference. They asked her general questions verifying the answers in the application. They did ask if she has ever collected assistance from a government agency. They asked me, the petitioner, how we met. I explained how we met, my visits, and when we decided to get engaged. The only documents they asked for was my 2018 w2 and my 2018 Fed Tax Return. I know they already had it, I have seen other on here being asked for it. I think they just want to see if you followed the instructions on the notice. The last thing she asked was if there was anything else I wanted to provide to her. I provide her with the proof of relationship evidence we had brought. Pictures, utility bills, bank statements and our health plan. She told us that she saw no problems and we should be approved. If she needed more we would be notified. At 2:00pm our status went to in review. After 5:00pm status changed to card ordered. Good luck !

Did you have to ask for a translator ahead of time or did they just ask at the time of the interview?  We are waiting on approval and interview scheduled but we would like to know if we need to call when we do get an appointment to ask for an interpreter ahead of time or if we need to bring our own.  My husband would need it as he is still learning English and we want to make sure the questions and answers are understood correctly.  Thanks!

We did not ask for the interpreter, the officer decided my wife needed one and provided the service. I am not sure if this is standard practice or not. They will not let you be the interpreter. I would imagine it would depend on the officer you get as the government is not required to provide the service. I would bring an interpreter with me to be safe.

Received our appointment in the mail today. Our interview will be on Wednesday, March 11th at the San Francisco office.

We got our greencard in mail Saturday, 5 days after our appointment. 

We are very happy, things moved along pretty quick for us!

My letter states: "If you do not speak English fluently, you should bring an interpreter" in Bold

This is where you track your processing times: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

If you do not know your Field Office or Service Center. go to this link and key in your zip code: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices

 

Then go back to the first link and select Form as I-485 | Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status and then your Field Office or Service Center on the next.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello thank you for that. I just called USCIS. Apparently my case is being handled by the NBC. Their processing time is between 5-7mos. They are still currently working on July 16, 2019 cases. So frustrating. Which service center handled your case? Did you receive your EAD/AP already?

[Jennie Kim 7]

My case is being handled by the National Benefits Center. Out of all the service centers, they are the most backlogged. They are STILL currently working on July 16, 2019 cases. Their processing time for EAD is between 5-7mos. Is there anyone here with the same situation as me? I also filed my AOS last Sept 2019. Still no news regarding my AP/EAD.
