CR-1 Medical Exam, AOS, Interview...etc

[rwilson3 2]

Good day to all! I have some questions about the timeline or how long it will take to get your interview notice. Here’s some information and timeline for your reference

 

11/12/2019: I-485 receipt date, as of today the status says " will schedule for interview" - it's been like that since Jan.2020

12/09/2019: Biometrics

2/19/2020:  EAD and AP card received

09/11/2020: I-765 ( Employment Authorization application), receipt date for EAD/AP renewal

1/29/2021:   per USCIS case status online check: "Case is already scheduled for interview". As of January 21, 2020, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC2090*****, for an interview. It's been like since last year.

 

 

** for my social security card, They didn’t send it to me yet ( almost a year now). I called the SSA office several times, put on hold for several hours and had no luck, until  this month (January) a good guy finally accommodated me and scheduled an appointment for me to apply it at the local social security office in person next month (2/17/21). He said my ss number has already been provided but the card was not processed yet. 

 

So here's some of my questions and hopefully someone can help me here:

          1.    For EAD card, have you got your interview before your EAD expires? My EAD will expire 2/19/21 but we submitted the renewal already.

                 I have friend (cr-1) who got his GC right before the EAD expires or before he receive the renewed EAD card and without interview.

          2.   For medical exam, as per my lawyer advise I will submit only the medical exam results once we get the date for interview. Did you do the same or submitted them before the interview date?

          3.   I don't know the status of my applications except looking at the  USCIS case status online. Where else can you check your status? like the I-485 and EAD card renewal?

Thank you All and Be safe at all times.

1. It depends on the individual's case. Some cases take a really long time, so sometimes, people do need to renew their EAD. CR-1 is not the same as AOS. If you do CR-1, you do not get an EAD at all and the only interview you do is the embassy/consulate interview before getting the CR-1 visa. After you enter with CR-1 visa, you get the GC. Totally different process than AOS.

2. Yeah, I advise waiting until you know the interview date. Get the medical exam done, take it to the interview and give it to them then.

3. USCIS website or phone call is the only way to know your case status. If there was any way to know more details about your case, that info would be blasted everywhere and everyone would be talking about it.
