After 115 days 
Update: my EAD went from “show to fingerprints taken” to “new card is being produced” 😍

 

 

I-485 stuck on “ready to be scheduled for an interview”

Hey, friends, just wanted to pop in to say that I got emails this morning from USCIS telling me they've closed my EAD and AP cases because I got my green card already (and I did, so I was waiting for them to close these).

 

Hopefully the fact they finally pulled my EAD/AP file to work on in the first place means a batch of other files are getting looked at and we see some more good news in this and the Jan 2020 thread though!

So we just learned our paperwork is being processed by the National Benefit Center, not California (not sure where we got that from). They are only just now processing EAD/AP paperwork from September 2019. We filed our paperwork at the end of December. I noticed many of you are applying for jobs, getting jobs, and using those offers to expedite the process. We are wondering should we do the same. This whole time we were counting on my husband working at least by June, but at this rate he won’t be working until September and our baby is due in October. This delay has also messed up the timeline for his social security number and his ITIN appointment was cancelled because of corona, so I cannot file my taxes. That being said, we are looking for any type of advice you all may have. Our congressman said they cannot do anything until the USCIS website has our case behind schedule. 😔

Where did you learn that they are only processing September 2019 cases? That’s absolutely not accurate. They are in fact working on December now. 
 

I applied late Jan, took a job offer mid May, applied to expedite, and I should be all done by June 10th (according to the tier 2 phone call I had yesterday).

I went to the USCIS website and put the form type and “National Benefits Center” for the Place. It says “September 28, 2019.” My husband also talked to the immigration department within our congressman’s office and they pulled up his information. They were the ones who corrected us on the location of where the paperwork was being processed. The K1 was processed through California so we made the assumption it was the same without paying attention to his notification 🤦🏾‍♀️. 
 

Is the information you have for the National Benefits Center? Every center is different. If so, we will be glad if everyone is telling us something wrong. We were sure it would be sometime in the next two weeks until today.

 

Also, since you expedited it, it makes sense for it to be processed in June. We are trying to figure out if we should try for the same.

The website is not accurate. And yes, I am talking about the NBC. EADs/APs are always processed through the NBC. Actual GCs are processed by your local field office - however since COVID, the NBC has been granting then without an interview. When did you do your bios?

I def think you should try for an expedite. Your best bet for approval is if you submit it with a job offer. Still, nothing is guaranteed as far as them approving an expedite - totally worth a try though.

This is what the September 28, 2019 date refers to:

 

We have posted a “Receipt date for a case inquiry" in the table below to show when you can inquire about your case. If your receipt date is before the “Receipt date for a case inquiry", you can submit an “outside normal processing time” service request online.

 

The current estimated time range for EAD is 6-8 months. According to USCIS, this means 50% are processed by 6 months and 93% by 8 months.
