We are in the same boat. I also did biometrics the day before the offices closed in TN. No update since   the status still says "Your case was received". Sometimes I think the whole process is meant to make us the most patient people in the world  hope both of us will see some progress going on soon!

We had our biometrics too march 17 and status is fingerprints taken. Hopefully, next up is interview!

 

Keep safe people!

Trump just announced he will sign an executive order banning all immigration. I’m speechless.

This morning our I-485 updated to “Ready to be scheduled for interview”!!! 

 

Not sure what happens now, given the pandemic situation, but still so happy to be moving forward!

What does it mean to people who are already here and just waiting on documentation? I can’t believe I will have to stay longer without a job..

It just means that we have to wait a bit longer.  Claudia is anxious to start working too.    She has been doing English classes online and working on our garden.

tell me about it. I feel like we are drowning over here without a dual income and two kids. I’m not even concerned with the GC - just let me work, and thus, pay taxes!!

Agreed! Extremely frustrating to see that the EAD processing time just gets extended and extended again. I have a son too, expenses to pay, and a job lined up. But without work authorization approval in the horizon that job will probably go to someone else. I hope the administration realizes that this will affect a lot of USCs as well!

Whoa wait! You have a job lined up? Submit the job offer for an expedite. It will likely get approved! As for waiting any longer, I feel like I’m seriously hanging in by a thread here!

Tried it. They won't process an expedite before I have had my biometrics done...

"Refugees and asylum seekers would not be affected by the order, nor would spouses and children of U.S. citizens or permanent residents."

from this bloomberg news, it says family-based immigrants would not be affected.

I hope we can all get our combo card and green card soon.

I saw many people here who has done their biometrics before mar 18 are already ready for interview.

but my biometrics was scheduled in Mar 18, and was cancelled...

how unlucky I am ><

If they schedule me one day earlier, or if I have done walk-in ....

 

although it seems difficult to find a job now,

but I really want to work TT

Same boat for us. We missed biometrics by one day as well. So brutal. Let’s see what this executive order looks like. A lot of people are about to feel a lot of pain from this. Thoughts and prayers are with everyone suffering even more during this already crushing time. If family-based AOS is exempt from this, we should be very grateful and hope for the best. We might actually move faster through the system, but let’s see what happens. Could not be more with you!

I appreciate this post soooooo much. I really do feel like people are freaking out without all the info. I’m sorry to hear that you bios got cancelled - hopefully it will resume quickly for you.

Nevermind. I just saw the executive order. It’s directed at green cards. And family based as well. Another two months plus added onto an already brutal process. Hang in there, everyone. It was already an insanely trying process. We can handle this thrown at us as well. Thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by this needless power move when there already is so much hurt and suffering from all of this right now.

Where did you see it? It's not signed yet, so I guess and hope that it can still change. Let's all sign this petition and see if we can induce an exception:
