AOS Package sent (Chicago Lockbox): 2/13

Package delivered: 2/15

Credit card charged: 2/22

Text messages received: 2/22

Bio: 3/20 (walked in 3/6 port Chester)

EAD approved : 3/6

EAD received : ?

 

EAD card has “being produced” since the 6th just wondering is this normal and how long does it normally take for the card to arrive after the approval letter pdf is available online on USCIS (have yet to receive it in mail)

 

Mine as well has been "being produced" since 3/9 so only 4 days. Some people on reddit are saying they haven't been getting their green cards since late Feb so not sure if they're backed up for ead too? Either way please update if there's anything new and I will do the same...

To everyone, what is a common RFE or what is a RFE you missed and could have avoided the first time of submission. 
I am in the process of filling out my applications for my husband. And I need all the help I can get . Thanks in advance for all who give me some guidance.

Filed 1/5/23. Work permit arrived 2/4/23. Got an RFE today for I-693. Guess the medical in Manila last year wasn’t enough. Updates to follow.

What!? The instructions literally say the exam is valid for one year... did you submit the DS-3025 proof of vaccines from the exam?

Mine updated last night to “card was produced” so hopefully won’t be too long until it shows up in the letter box

Nope, but I uploaded it into MyUSCIS today.

Ughh mine has been sitting at "card is being produced" since March 9 and I don't know what the hold up is... I'm so thankful it's been approved so quickly but I have trust issues with USCIS...I sometimes get scared that the card will just never show.. you never know with them

Joining the January filers for AOS + EAD + AP

 

AOS Package sent (Chicago Lockbox): 01/23

Package delivered: 01/25

Credit card charged: 01/27

I-797C notices dates: 01/27

Biometrics scheduled (notice): 02/04

Biometrics appointment: 02/23

RFE (I-864 missing petitioning sponsor's proof of citizenship): 02/10 --> responded via myUSCIS on 02/11

 

I am considering if it is worth it to try and do an early walk-in next week for my biometrics, or if it is better to just wait for the appointment.

Update:
Biometrics were done on 02/14
RFE marked as received on 02/21
Submitted an expedite request via senate office (they submitted the request as well as the info) on 02/24

Still haven't received anything new. I figure that one of the reasons I did not get my EAD approved right after the biometrics was the RFE, as I feared. Anyone have experience recently on how long it takes them to respond to the expedite request? I heard people mention 2 months for the full process?
Another worry I have is how the senate staffer submitted the request, as she was quite pessimistic from the start, saying that under K1 you cannot ensure you get expedited. I am not sure she called, I rather think she might have submitted it via email or fax.

We received another RFE for I-693 now. We had only included DS-3025 in the initial filing, I thought it was enough.

Has anyone tried to go in for their biometrics appointment early with a printed version of the appointment letter from the USCIS account, or do they need the original letter?

I had the actual letter already, but as long as they can find the info they need, I don't see why they would be difficult about it. I guess if your field office allows early walk-ins, you should be fine.

Did either of you receive your card yet? Fingers crossed for you both!
