November 2021 - AOS Filers

[Iris2013 5]

Hi, my EAD was approved on February 9th, new card was received in the post. However I didn’t receive a combo card, just wondering if anyone has had any experience of the I-131 being approved after the EAD? 
Thank you 🙏🏻

Great!! I hope to get my combo soon.

Hi,

 

Congrats to everyone getting their EADs. Just wondering if you all expedited your request? I'm a bit confused as the processing times on USCIS website suggests this for I765's filed through AOS :

 

20 Months to 21.5 Months

Based on a pending I-485 adjustment application [(c)(9)]

I read they are doing the Ap separated I'm not sure if it's true or not. 

My husband received yesterday his Ss card

I was looking at the case numbers (about 100) around me and almost all minus about 4 say, "Case is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS". Ours says "Case was Received and a Receipt Notice was Sent" still... Just curious about anyone on the forum in November AOS experience with these two statuses??

Ahh ok so it changed after biometrics? It seems our field office, San Antonio takes awhile to schedule biometrics so maybe that’s why. Also yes, on i-485.

Hi everyone, 

 

Biometrics were completed on February 16 and since then the case shows as being actively reviewed. 

From you experience how soon can i expect to have EAD approval? Is it a month after biometrics or more? What's the normal timeline on this. 

 

Thank you:)

HI congrats on your approval!! Would you mind sharing if you expedited your case as some September filers are still waiting for their interview date and yours seemed to move very quickly. Thanks.

Hey! No, we did not expedite our case, so I am also surprised by how quickly it was processed. We didn’t apply for advance parole, so not sure if that made any difference in the processing time.

I think it depends on location... for some of them process is really fast, for others it may take years....

I am also in California and since biometrics (Dec 28) nothing changed.

Thanks for the reply! I believe it might be because of the local offices as EvaT pointed out, the AP should have helped too, one less document to process I'm guessing.
