Julieyann and Raeesha this is great news, mashallah. May your family have a wonderful reunion.

Saeedeh I am so sorry to hear what the embassy told you and I truly can relate to the frustration of this processing. Try and stay strong and I am still praying for everyone on here and checking in daily or every other day for more success stories.

Mary

My EAD was approved by the USCIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, this is wierd. No emails from the USCIS. Just went into my portfolio, and it doesnt even say that I was approved. Just says card production was ordered! Me happy! Start to a wonderful day! lalalalala!

:) Congrats this was great to hear! Did you file your I-130 at the same time as the I-765? We did the same as we had to refile our I-130 as per our lawyer's advice.

It has been a long time since I've posted in this thread. I've been over in EAD/AOS. No progress or movement on anything whatsoever. sigh...

I-485 , I-765, I-130: NOA1 : 1/23/2006

Biometrics 2/23/2006

Temporary EAD given for 1 month ONLY b/c of Infopass appt: 5/1/2006

Went back to renew EAD through Infopass: EAD card was not given "due to reasons we can't disclose"

5/3/2007: Confirmation that EAD is delayed due to background checks. (started to use the senator, ombudsman and was just a royal pain in the neck)

5/30/2007: EAD production ordered (after over 400 days of waiting!!! woo hoo!)

AOS Interview: 5/12/2008!!! FINALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7/29/2008: card production ordered...918 days..can't wait to see that card!

Salam everyone... I just wanted to know if anyone is waiting for an interview date from Islamabad. Im a United states citizen and i filed a petition for my husband in DEC 2005.. his case was recieved by the Islamabad consulate jan 10,2007. My husband submitted his "packet 3.5" on feb 15... through the American express and they told him they would call him within 3 weeks.. and hello its almost 3 weeks and still nothing.. i called them and they said "The embassy is very busy and we MIGHT recieve a letter from them MID march"... I e-mailed the embassy and asked when we can expect an interview date..... they e-mailed me back and said "we recieved your packet 3.5, you can expect an interview in JUNE..."!!!! JUNE!!!!! I MEAN COME ON..... IS THIS NORMAL????????? IS IT NORMAL TO WAIT THIS LONG FOR AN IR1 INTERVIEW DATE???!!! ITS LIKE 4 MONTHSSSSSS.. and who knows maybe MORE!!???? ANYONE IF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PLSSSS HELP MEEEEEE... I havnt seen my husband for 1 1/2 years.. we have a 11 month old daughter... she will will be ONE in march.. i thought he would be here by her birthday..!!! the embassy says ONCE U SUBMIT PACKET 3.5 WE WILL SCHEDULE AN INTERVIEW DATE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WORKING BUSINESS DAYS!!!!! CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE... im about to go crazy...

`Ayk shaam ati hai teri yaad le kar, Ayk sham jati hai teri yaad le kar, Muje us sham ka intezar hai jo aye tumain apne sath le kar ...`(Insha'Allah, Ameen)
