I haven't been active on here but just thought I'd give an update. 

 San Diego /  NBC

Timeline: 

October 20 - package sent via Fedex

October 23 - package received

November 9 - Check cashed

November 12 - text message received for I-485, I-131 & I-765

November 17 - receipt for I-485, I-131 & I-765 by mail

Jan 6 - biometrics done

March 11 - Case is ready for be scheduled an interview

July 19 - received my combo card

 

It took about a week to receive the EAD after getting the notification that it was approved. First I received a notice in the mail, and a couple days later, the card.

Late May I had reached out to a congressman, who reached USCIS, they said I should receive my interview notice within 30-60 days. It's been about 60 days and nothing yet. Happy I finally got my EAD though.!

Quick question for those who have received the combo card already. My case is ready to be scheduled for an interview, and I understand that when I see "interview scheduled" is when I should be expecting the letter with the date but... what about the combo card with the EAD and SSN, does the case status change to approved before receiving it, or it doesn't change at all? 

 

Thanks in advance!

I don't think so... Many people have gotten their interviews schedule but never got EAD. 

The green card is processed by your field office, and EAD is processed by the service center. If you happen to get the GC before EAD then you wouldn't need EAD at all

Yes of course, it would be useless but, my interview being ready to be scheduled doesn't mean I'll get it right away, it could be 1 month, it could be 20, but on the other hand, if I don't receive the EAD by August 20, I will be eligible to submit an official enquiry on the i765 because I will be over their processing times for my office (NBC), so I wanted to know if somebody had a change on their "765" status before receiving the combo card. Right now it only says fingerprints were taken.

 

Thanks again!!

I'm sorry, I think that I misread your question! The 765 status does change. I think the orders were: "new card is being produced" to "case was approved" to "card was picked up by the post office" to "card was delivered to me by the post office".  The I-131 just changed to case was approved. 

 

Also, my interview just got scheduled today!!

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. Hopefully I get it soon. My wife is expecting and it would be great to start working soon. 

 

Good luck everyone!

Hi October friends! 

Update on my case, after I received my combo card, I requested on the USCIS chat for my i-485 to be expedited for humanitarian reason, explaining that a member of my family is in the hospital (it's ok, no one is dead, just a surgery), and it got approved the next day,.

My interview is scheduled for September 1st! Wohoo

Hello!

 

We just got our biometrics done last Friday after waiting a looooong time. Is anyone else on same boat?

 

I think our field office is just really backed up or something.

 

Hopefully the rest will go faster! 🤞

Hi friends,

 

Thought I would update you on my cas.

We went for our interview on September 1st in San Antonio, our officer was definitely a tough cookie, no scary questions, just the usual, but she definitely scared us a bit, asked for my additional documents to prove our marriage, questions on birthdates and parents name + where were we born, pretty much it.

 

10 minutes later, my lawfully app updated me that "New card is being produced" for my I-485, still showing "Itw was completed and my case must be reviewed" for I-130. Next day, everything turned to "Case was approved".

 

My dates in my signature

Relieved that this long journey is close to being over!

Hello again!

 

We just got our EAD approved but no change in ready to be scheduled part.

 

But I heard EAD expiration date for recent ones are 2 years so hopefully that's the case!

 

Have a great weekend guys!
