09/30 Sent our packet (AOS, EAD, AP) via USPS

10/02 Mark as delivered by USPS 

10/05 Payment reflected as pending on my husband’s account 

10/06 Received three texts from USCIS containing case numbers 

PD: 10/03

State: Maryland

Lockbox: Elgin Lockbox

 

I’ll update once I get my NOA1 in the mail. Hoping I get at least my EAD soon!

Some good news I got before 2022 ended re: my EAD/AP. 

 

10/03/2022 - Priority Date

10/26/2022 - Biometrics Done
11/01/2022 - Expedite Request for EAD via Ask EMMA (Reason for expedite is financial loss to a company and person; my former employer of 8 years wanted me back ASAP) 
12/14/2022 - Received an e-mail they need additional information about the Expedite Request
12/16/2022 - Faxed docs requested 
12/23/2022 - Resent docs because of no response
12/30/2022 - Resent docs again
12/30/2022 - Card is Being Produced (Combo Card) 

 

I’ll edit the post for other updates. Hoping others get approved soon too! 🙏🏻

So my EAD expedite request was finally approved on December 28th and I received the combo card on January 6th. So glad I can now work and travel. All the best to everyone still waiting for their EAD

Thank you 😊 

Try to expedite the EAD. I've been seeing combo card approvals lately after EAD expedite

I did expedite over a month ago. Sent evidence late December and waiting 👍

Hey guys!

did anyone receive an interview date yet? I heard there is a new rule that skips interviews and sends green cards without scheduling an interview. Is that true?

No interview but RFE to resend a copy of our marriage certificate to the local USCIS office (Portland, OR). 🤞

Hi, I just received an email to submit evidence for expedite, I am a healthcare professional and have a pending offer of employment which I can provide proof for - is there anything else that you submitted to ensure it would be accepted?

I submitted the following - although note this was my previous employer so it might not apply to you:

- Cover Letter explaining my situation

- Signed Job Offer Letter

- Copy of the USCIS e-mail

- Letter from my Employer explaining the request and why they want me back ASAP

- Work History in the Company

 

Since you’re a healthcare worker, I believe you can also add the USCIS announcement for expediting healthworkers. Should be the alert in this link: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/how-to-make-an-expedite-request

 

Just explain it in the cover letter and attach a copy! Wishing you luck!

Hello everyone. For those who got their combo card or EAD. How long did it take to get your social security card?

This whole journey is very frustrating. They probably lost or misplaced it. You'll have to do it again and that means spending more money but it's a good sign that your case will be approved soon.
