2019 New York i485 filers

[subrina&fahad 3]

Hello everyone! I saw there was a similar thread for 2018 but I couldn't find one for 2019. Would you be interested in following the progress of other New York filers? Let’s share each other’s timeline, experiences, EAD,AP experiences. As it’s a long journey for New Yorkers than other states, I think it will help to relief some stress. Anyway I am August,2019 filer. Still didn’t receive any EAD/AP up until December 3rd. i485 online status is ready to be scheduled for interview since November. Anyway share your experiences guys!

Yes, I have used my AP during Covid in April to get in the US. It was fairly easy and no questions asked from the custom and border people. Good luck with your process!
