Ho hum. 

in my case my progress went from longer than expected to now 1 week for my I765, I don't have high expectations lol 

I indeed requested an expedite a month ago and yesterday I called costumer service and she said that a tier2 agent will call me back to make sure they'll handle the decision. She told me that usually the NBC takes between 7-10 to adjudicate expedite request, I wonder what's going on there lol I didn't even see the acceptance on the status of the case, I just see my referral code in my inbox. 

I am afraid I'll have to ask for an expedite for the AP too, because my grandma is in the hospital and probably she's not going to make it. 

all this process is extremely dumb and unfair, I don't understand how there are people getting the GC in 2 months and other people waiting 5+ months just for the EAD. I also don't understand how if all the EAD/AP are processed at the NBC but the majority of cali/chicago applicants get approved the same day of biometrics or a couple of days later, meanwhile I know some people form NC who are waiting since months and also here in Dallas, I know 2 more people who have Dallas as a local field office the are still waiting since months and one just got the EAD approved after almost 4 months

Congrats on obtaining your Green Card all. Quick question, did your Green Card arrive before your advance Parole application had been approved? I am due to be filing for AOS within next day or so, however weighing up whether to pay the additional $630.00 for advance parole (in light of new filing fees as of April 1st 2024), considering green card may arrive prior to advance parole approval?

We just got our GC approved and I never had any update on the EAD/AP. 

Good luck everyone 🍀

Very cool. Congrats!

 

The USCIS updated on Sunday, or you hadn’t checked in a while?

I got a text message on the 11th saying that USCIS took actions on my case and the status changed on the 12th and on that date i also saw the approval notice in the doc tab. 

I hope to get it in the mail in the next two weeks cause i'll not be home from the end of the month to the start of May

Approval notice - maybe. But don't miss the GC! It takes 3-6 weeks to get it in the mail after approval. If I was you and the trip wasn't urgent - I'd postpone it.

The problem is that my husband is going on this 9 days long work trip, i don't want to be alone in the house and i can't drive by myself yet (learner permit plus we are in a small town that doesn't have public transport) so i am going to stay with my in-laws who live 2h from us. 

I can try to ask to my MIL to take me to my house to grab it, technically I should get a tracking code to monitor the shipping. 

I don't really feel comfortable contacting USPS because they just did damages in the past 5 months and now it should be all good. If it takes more or around 3 weeks then is all good!

In my case took about 2 weeks after receiving approval letter in the mail. But the approval letter itself takes up to 4-6 weeks
