Call your Senate. Call your Congressman. They have the ability to back you on this and push it. Call anyone. I’m seriously outraged. 

Done that, they have inquired but they cannot push for specific outcomes for constituents. They can only request information (which they have done twice).

Ok. Let’s regroup. 
start applying for other jobs now. It takes about 2-3 weeks to start a job anyways. On your resume state that you are looking for a July 1st start date. That’ll buy you some time and by then you should have your card. 
 

I’m totally assuming here - but, maybe it’s a good idea to find something different. I mean, to have a company be so unwilling and unsympathetic is horrible. Maybe this is happening to so you can find employment with a great employer. 
 

That is 100% what I would do - start from ground zero, start over!

Hello everyone, I am a Jan 2020 AOS filer, I was wondering what the USCIS number is to reach out to them to follow up my case? What number are you guys calling? 
Thank you

oh, I dont believe this! I faxed the proof for my expedited EAD this morning, and got the approval and "card is being produced" notice now this afternoon! I had a job offer, and wrote a very honest letter where I also informed them that my husband was back at work after being furloughed for a while. I also included their own green card processing information  from where I live which says 21-44 months, and that all I wanted was to start working, paying bills and taxes. I added a copy of our lease too. 

one question, The emails and the login page only shows the approval for the I-765, nothing about the I-131. Thats normal or what? Do they automatically include the AP?

 

I cant thank this group enough for inspiration to give it a try!

 

hope everybody gets good news soon!🤗

If you received NOA1, you've got your case # and can check your case status online. Note that there's a very good chance there's just no new news for you.

 

If you filed in Jan and have not received a paper NOA1 or texts/emails, contact lockbox support, especially if your check was cashed or credit card was charged.

I have an interview with Amazon coming up and they ask me to answer the following question in an email (I was referred):

 

*Are you a US citizen or national; permanent resident; applicant for legalization or amnesty, asylee (i.e. a person granted asylum) or a refugee? 

 

To make life easy, I tend to select that I am a permanent resident (which I am not yet). I assume that they are trying to figure out if I am legally authorized to work, and I hate to explain to EAD/K1 concept and confuse people...

thank you. I‘ve got my NOA1 and did the biometrics in February. I’m waiting for EAD.

Now my "Expedite Request Approved" date has changed in the USCIS case status system from 5/14 to 5/29...anyone have any idea what is going on? Hopefully this does not reset the clock.

Oh wow. I can’t see why they’d restart the clock. I am thinking approval for you is gonna be today or Monday. That is my hope.

Haha. Not always. I promise. I was trying to show you want my status page looks like but it won’t let me DM you a photo.

Weird, you could scrub out the receipt numbers in  MS Paint and post here?
