Ok guys....here it some great news for all April 2020 AOS Filers: 

 

My wifey’s card status changed today to “New Card Being Produced”. It changed just moments ago (at about 5pm PST). Status went from “Case was updated to show Fingerprints were taken and applied to case” to “New Card Being Produced”. The advance parole application still says “Case was updated to show Fingerprints were taken”. We will wait to see if it comes as a Combo Card but I am fairly confident that it will 😄. I filed on March 28th, 2020 and USCIS Received our case (NOA date of) April 1st, 2020. Thus it looks like we are the 1st April 2020 filers to get approved without any expedite request. 
I will keep you all posted to confirm that it is indeed a combo card once we receive it. Good luck and I hope that this paves the way for April EAD/AP approvals!!

 

Yay! Congrats to you guys. You just gave me some well needed hope. We filed at the end of April and did biometrics Aug. 12. Praying we receive the same news very soon.

Hello! I came to search visajourney just for this! We are also in Columbus OH, my husband is applying for AOS from Canada and we have not heard anything about our biometrics appt and it’s so frustrating because I know the appointment is fast and they can’t possibly be THAT backlogged! We applied mid May and haven’t heard anything yet...I just want to know where Columbus is at in the process. All USCIS is saying is that we have to give them 90 days from the date the ASC opened (until OCTOBER 20) before we can really call to get an inquiry.

It’s so frustrating. I hope they can schedule us soon.

I'm not really sure if it's seriously going to take 30-36 months just for an EAD. I think that they are posting that to not have people asking too much and kind of scaring people off. If March was processed and they are finally getting to April, we should receive something soon. 

I filed on 4/23 and still waiting for my biometrics letter. Try to stay as positive as you can ... I know it's hard right now

Received an update on the APP

So, I tried calling this morning and waited for 40 minutes to talk to a representative. I asked if I could talk to a Tier 2 officer and all she told me that he/she would tell me the same thing as she did with "I will have to wait a little more since the ASC's are backed up"...

my husband has been trying to talk to a tier 2 for a full week now. They keep saying they’ll schedule a call back but that never happens.

 

Last time he talked to someone they told him that his case had a weird comment they’ve never seen before.

 

I’m just frustrated because his EAD card came without the AP, no progress has been made in his AP. And his AOS still says biometrics scheduled. It seems like they’re rushing to get through cases and I can only guess a lot of mistakes will be made along the way. Which is going to make talking to a tier 2 even tougher.

I totally understand but at least you guys have his EAD. I'm just praying that I will receive mine soon so I can at least start working here.

You guys haven't done any biometrics and got his EAD? Our ASC office is taking forever to reach out even though people who filed in July already had their appointments.

He had his biometrics taken on August 12th for both the AOS & EAD. But nothing was applied to the AOS and now it’s looking like there’s an issue.

 

We actually want the AP more than the EAD. So I’m bummed that one is at a standstill.

Anyone from April still waiting for a biometrics appointment? My PD date is 04/14 and I’m in Seattle, but getting more stressed as I see most other April filers making progress and it just feels like we are stuck.
