Oh great! Ours also changed yesterday evening, I looked on the r/USCIS subreddit and I guess a ton of people who got approved in early March all had their status change yesterday. Glad it finally happened for you all!

Hope it works out for you all, so frustrating to feel like we’re finally done with the waiting only to be hit with this. She doesn’t, her GC got approved before EAD/AP.

Yeah we had heard that as well. I’ve seen estimates from 3-4 weeks all the way to 30 days for welcome packet + 30 days for GC arriving (60 days total). My wife has some job interviews soon and we’re hoping this delay won’t cause issues if she ends up getting an offer. Best of luck to you and everyone else waiting right now 🤞

Same situation, status still on approved and no GC yet 😕

Yep that’s what we figured. Do you know if the 30 days to send in an E-Request is from approval date or date you physically receive the I-797?

No status on Case Tracker still just shows “Case Approved”

We did concurrently file for EAD, but that is still pending (I would assume they’ll cancel/dismiss that application now). It seems like some people are getting their GC approved before EAD/AP.

Hey everyone, about how long should it take once the I-485 is approved to actually receive the greencard? My wife's I-485 was approved on 3/3, but the status hasn't changed since then, and the only thing we've received was the approval notice (I-797) on 3/14.

Hi all, My wife’s I-485 was approved on 3/3 but we haven’t had any updates since then other than receiving the approval notice via mail yesterday. She’s been browsing jobs and found a few that look really appealing but the application windows will close soon. Is it possible/legal for her to apply for jobs with just the approval notice but no Greencard on hand yet? Can she say that she’s legally allowed to work in the US? I saw in another thread that apparently printing green cards is delayed right now, just want to make sure we do everything by the book but also don’t waste any possible employment opportunities! Thanks in advance!

Hi All, My wife's GC was approved yesterday! 🥳 I guess our interview was waived and it totally came out of the blue, we hadn't had EAD/AP approved yet. Best of luck to all those still waiting that you get approved soon!

Hi all, My wife and I just moved and registered the change of address with USCIS through their website. We received an email confirmation that the change was successful however when my wife goes on her USCIS online account she can see the following under her I-131 application: We're a bit confused, do we also need to follow these directions as well to register the address change with I-131? Or is this not relevant to us? Thanks in advance for the help!

My fiancé and I are putting together the packet to send to the Frankfurt consulate for the K-1 visa interview. As part of it, we are trying to register the document delivery address on US Travel Docs, but following the instructions in P3 and on the US Travel Docs website we are lead to a page where we have to select the visa type and there is no K1 option (New Application/Schedule appointment > Immigrant Visa > Immigrant Visa Delivery Registration). Wondering if others have encountered this and how they resolved it? This is more or less a duplication of this post below but it looks like they never got an answer, wasn't sure if resurrecting that post was the right thing to do or not. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
