AOS sent January 30th. Tried expediting EAD with job offer in begining April and got denied for lack of biometrics. Biometrics on May 3rd and second expedite request on May 5th. Got an RFE asking for more financial evidence for I485 on June 1st, so my expedite request was placed on hold with my complete case. Response to RFE package sent July 7th, now waiting for my expedite request to be granted while the rest of my adjustment of status is processed. No clue about time frame, I've had job offers since beginning of March, yet here we are.

 

But I feel for you that haven't even gotten biometrics letter. I would say to contact your rep and put pressure through them.

Update in case my experience can be of someone's use:

 

Waited a week after status changed to show my RFE response package was received. Started trying Emma and calling to get a response regarding my EAD expedite request that was put on hold until I responded to the RFE (I had already faxed evidence and never got any other updates). Finally, I was able to get an agent that didnt just slammed the door on me with the ''you just have to wait'', and actually told me that in their system the expedite request didnt appear, so odd!. I even sent a screenshot of my case status and dates when I and the rep contacted them with my request's evidence. Anyways, she told me to just go ahead and make another expedite request (my third one), so I explained the financial loss/job offer situation and how ive had 2 months with my last expedite request not being processed despite all evidence already sent. Two day later (today) I check my case status and it had changed to ''New Card is being produced''.

 

Honestly, so many times I thought that was the end, that Im still so distrustful and expecting something to go wrong, so.... YAY! but also waiting for the card in my hands to be like OKAY NOW YAAAY. Because who knows how long it will be till I get, a week, a month, 6 months.... nothing surprises me anymore.

My parents just now finally got their letter for the biometrics appointment which is on August 10th. Here is the weird part... 

Online status changed to "initial evidence requested and letter sent" this was on like July 15th, so they were awaiting a letter telling them what kind of evidence is need but instead my dad got his biometrics appointment letter today August 24. 

Anyone had the same happen? 

Do they ever consider bio taken as initial evidence? Or maybe there will be another letter coming? It's strange.. But still happy it's moving somewhere!

July 23: work authorization approved, travel permit approved and interview ready to be scheduled (I485). Today received the deficiency letter asking to bring the medical exam results to the interview.

 

Now waiting for 1797 notice for action for EAD/AP card and interview appointment letter.

@myperfectflaw SSN is not required to your spouse to your health insurance. Most insurance companies use a placeholder number (111-22-3333). 

The easiest way to expedite would be for him to get a job offer - any job will do. 

 

Alternatively, you can reach out to your US senator or US congressperson and ask them to speak to USCIS on your behalf and place a request to expedite his EAD/AP. (If you are asking for one, you may as well as for the other).

 

Hope it all works out. 

Thanks for the info! I had tried initially and it wouldn't go past the ssn part. I tried again after your comment and it finally let me get past it. Medical covered for the time being!

No movement here, not even biometrics. 

 

Best wishes for your health, and for your husband being a good match as a donor. ❤️ 

Thank you so much for the well wishes, fingers crossed it goes well!

So, on a positive note, we received this. So some movement is happening! 

 

But I also saw this and don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions?

Congratulations! From the second email, it looks like they tried to deliver a notice about your AP but failed. Have you moved recently?

My dad I485 was approved yesterday, and green card is in production, without interview.

Waiting on mom now, I130 was approved two weeks ago
