[Khagen88 1]

hi, came here on a K1 VISA, got married filed AOS OCTOBER 15, biometrics November 7, what's next? I believe they should send a letter of when the interview will be right? how about the work card permit and travel authorization? when do i expect it to be? Thank you to anyone who replies.

AP and EAD take on average 6 months if filed together with the I-485

Did you fill out I-131/765 forms along with your I-485 ?. They are supposed to process in 90 categories but USCIS has no rules

i filed all in one with the adjustment of status, included in there is the Work permit and travel authorization. so 6 months altogether? will the interview come first or the work permit can come first?

interview is for 485 only. they can issue EAD/AP without the interview

i never checked this yet. where do i get my case number?

You can find the case number on the NOA paperwork sent to you or the text messages.  It’s the number on top of the paper. Mine started with MSC.

yes i finally saw it wooohoo. anyway, i checked it in the uscis case status online- it says " CASE is ready to be scheduled for an interview", also case was updated to show fingerprints were taken.

It takes longer than 90 days. A rule change in 2017 eliminated the 90-day timeframe: https://www.uscis.gov/archive/archive-news/uscis-publishes-final-rule-certain-employment-based-immigrant-and-nonimmigrant-visa-programs "Eliminate the regulatory provision that requires USCIS to adjudicate the Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, within 90 days of filing and that authorizes interim EADs in cases where such adjudications are not conducted within the 90-day timeframe."

 

If you get a job offer letter you can at least try an expedite.

You can go to USCIS.gov and look up processing times for the I-485 for your local field offices.  Many are averaging about a year to get an interview.
