Funny thing is, the Case Tracker didn’t alert me either about change in status regarding my husband’s EAD. I check my Informed Delivery email every morning and that’s when I saw the approval notice dated 11/29 lol. I was shocked. so happy for your approval! Hopefully the GC is approved and produced just as quickly.

Hey Kristina, did you see updates on your AP as well? I know some people that have received the combo card. we didn’t apply for AP though because we didn’t think we’d need it between now and the time that we receive the GC. Many ppl have been receiving their GC within a few months, but then again I know someone who has been waiting two years for his 😓

Where are you located?

UPDATE: EAD Card received 12/8

To add onto what you said, calling the DMV is pointless as hell. Lines always busy and you rarely get through to anyone regarding the AB-60. What sped things up was me doing the online chat with DMV. They ask for the DL application number and a phone number, then they call you instead. Received paperwork in the mail stating to bring that to the DMV office to receive the printed permit, then you’re told to wait 24hrs after holding the permit to be able to schedule the behind-the-wheel exam. Again, this is CALIFORNIA processing only.

I think that depends on the office. After my husband did biometrics on 11/27, it said an estimate of 2 weeks for EAD Decision. His EAD card arrived in the mail this evening.

Well I guess that’s a personal preference, but me being the U.S. Citizen, what mattered was us having proof of a bonafide marriage by having a joint account. My bank account is Citi, but Wells Fargo (last choice because I actually hate them) is whom approved us. Adding that new joint account for direct deposit at my job was fairly easy as well; so I have my paycheck going to both accounts. it doesn’t take months for AB-60. Apply with the required documents to prove that you have residence in California, take the vision and knowledge test. Receive permit, then you can schedule behind-the-wheel test after having held the permit for 24hrs… I know someone that applied with their AOS NOA1 (mail)… my husband brought his marriage certificate, passport, and medical paperwork because he has medical insurance through me.

You don’t have to wait to create a bank account. Actually our joint bank account statement was part of the proof we included in the AOS packet.. no luck at BOFA or Chase, but luck at Wells Fargo…. as far as the DL goes, would you happen to be in California? Because you can get a license as an undocumented person. My husband got his AB60 license because his I94 expired at the end of July.

I485+I765 mailed 11/4 via FedEx 2Day Air NOA1 - 11/6 Biometrics scheduled 11/10 USCIS Online Access Code received 11/18 Biometrics Appt 11/27 Status changed to Actively Reviewed 11/28 Estimated Decision on I485 - 4 months Estimated Decision on I765 - 2 weeks I765 APPROVED - 11/29 Card Produced - 12/6

Checking your credit account and waiting for the mail…. Are you signed up for USPS Informed Delivery?

There’s an option for change of address on myUSCIS also you should be in and out of biometrics in about 30min.. print the documents for the biometrics appt and take it with you because it needs to be scanned.

Okay the 30th is in two days

Did you submit the G-1145 for e-notification?

RFE’s are nothing to be scared of. Most RFE’s I’ve seen for AOS have been minor, such as medicals or marriage certificate.

Congratulations!

My husband just completed his biometrics. His appointment was 11am in Los Angeles about 6min away from my house. We got there at 10:52a and there were 4 people ahead of us. Numbers given, similar to the DMV, for processing. It was 11:13a when his number was called. He was done with photo and fingerprints by 11:16a. Pretty efficient for only one workstation.

Do you have informed delivery?

Wow San Diego is fast!

Good news…

The letter should arrive in the mail by the end of the week. Nothing to stress about.

That’s actually a good thing. That means they reviewed and once you return whatever is missing, should be processed shortly after… most ppl get an RFE for medicals or marriage certificate from what I’ve noticed.

Awesome!

Yes Case Tracker is how I found out biometrics was scheduled… then I saw the appointment online with the access code

If there’s no other notification, she doesn’t need to do biometrics.

I sent the paperwork to Chicago and I’m in Los Angeles, CA….. did the status of your wife’s file update to biometrics scheduled?
