February 2021 - AOS Filers

[Gatekeeper 35]

I finally received my bio appointment! Woohoo!

well, our lawyer received it. The original hasn’t reached our mailbox yet (that’s one advantage of using a lawyer for filing AOS: as the lawyer receives a copy of all notices too, you’re sure not to miss any).

Wow good, how much usually lawyers charge?

It varies a lot depending on the law firm, what you file for, how complex your case is.

I had my biometrics on Thursday. Requested to expedite my EAD/AP via Emma on Friday morning. My status changed on my I-485 last night to ‘case is ready to be scheduled for an interview’. Nothing on my I-765, I-130, or I-131 has changed. What next for me? An interview for GC?

It makes sense sometimes you don't  get a EAD or AP first. They approve your GC first!

Youre good , you don’t need your EAD since you get your GC next month

Lol I just got an i-693 deficiency notice on the mail,  as you can imagine when I saw th USCIS envelope I got supper excited thinking that it was finally my Bio appointment letter,  turns out the USCIS people have 0 coordination skills and they sent out that polite notice, and I don't even know when my interview is, I mean like. 

hey, just got this letter too. What is your priority date? Would be amazing if you could share your timeline so far <3

 my understanding is that the expedite request triggers the biometrics, for instance my expedite request is still in process, but it triggered my bios, I've got my appointment on 19th this month. a lot of people get their request rejected and they still get the bio appointment  3 o 4 days later, the agent is like 'oh this person PD was like 3-4 months ago, why he/she hasn't gotten  their FP appointment yet, send the letter!!!' (my theory of what happens) 

Also, when you requested to expedite your EAD, did they ask you for a proof of employment? What questions did they ask?

Said financial loss. They didn’t ask for a reason. I have however received a job offer. Was told I was hear back in a week and that they may reach out to me via email or phone for evidence. My App was updated this morning saying they received my expedite request.
