I just found out that my GC has been approved! I found the approval notice in the document tab and it’s dated 03/14. Hoping for a fast approval for everyone 🤞🏻

I heard of people knowing from a live agent, but this is a much safer bet! Hoping for good news soon🤞🏻

Oh wow, that’s a relief!😊 how did you find out?

That’s great news, congratulations 😁

My I-131 never updated either after biometrics. I’m sure the status will catch up eventually! Thank you, I did sign up for it when I first moved here exactly for this reason!

Okay, same here! Hopefully we’ll get a tracking number soon

Congrats on your approval!🎊 Did you see a status update at all? My status is stuck on review and I can’t manage to talk to an agent to check if the card was produced at all or if there’s a tracking number available

Thank you, congratulations to you too!🎊 I wonder what’s the criteria for combo card vs EAD, hopefully they’ll approve your AP soon🤞🏻

After noticing yesterday that they closed my AP case, today I found a combo approval notice in my documents! Great way to start the weekend🙏🏻 Hope for good news for everybody soon🤞🏻

@fellaamazing You may want to contact the lockbox. You are eligible after 30 days.

Just a quick update on my cases: Biometrics appointment notification: 12/16/2023 NOA1 received via mail: 12/18/2023 Online Access Code via mail: 12/19/2023 Biometrics appointment via mail: 12/22/2023 Biometrics appointment: 01/04/2024 Case is being Actively Reviewed: 01/04/2024 Also, @Bri and Carlos I believe you can email the Chicago lockbox in a week or so at lockboxsupport@uscis.dhs.gov but hopefully you’ll hear something back sooner

I’d say it’s pretty normal! I noticed it was quicker with the K-1 too, probably because the lockbox receives more petitions and the holidays don’t help My CC was charged after 3 days and NOA1s (in the mail) were received after 11 days

That’s great to hear, looking forward to our turn!

EADs are pretty fast now, the majority of cases I've seen take just a couple of months. I'm glad at least that's faster

I haven't seen a lot of stand alone AP approvals so I'm not sure! Most people seem to just receive the GC

Yes, wasn't really looking forward to the wait but things seem to have sped up a bit🤞

My husband and I filed in December for my Adjustment of Status, EAD, and AP. So far my timeline looks like this: Packet sent: 12/04 (with UPS) Packet delivered: 12/07 Credit Card charged: 12/11 Text with case numbers received: 12/12 ("On December 7, 2023, we received your form...") Waiting for NOA1 in the mail Hoping for a smooth and fast process for everyone🤞

Mine turned to “Issued” the day after my post! I don’t think it’s been used a lot before but seems quite normal. I was extremely confused and worried too, but I’m sure everything is fine and you’ll see changes soon.

Hello everyone, just wanted to give a quick update! I had my medical and interview this week and got approved. Medical: 09/04 Interview:09/05 CEAC status: -Application Received:09/05 -Approved: 09/06 -Issued: 09/07 VOH: 09/08 Will be leaving next month to finally be with my fiancé🎉 I can't you guys enough for the support and infos, I wish you all the best of luck and to be with our loved ones once and for all😊

Fingers crossed yours will turn into Issued very soon!🤞

Thank you! It was just a status I haven’t seen often and there’s not much online about it, so I wanted to see if anyone had some infos about it. Today the status changed to “Issued” and, in hindsight, I get why my question was probably very stupid.

Hello everyone! I had my interview on September 5th 2023 and was verbally approved. The same day CEAC status changed to "Application Received" and today it switched to "Approved" with the below text: "the consular officer has approved your application subject to final processing by the consular section that is necessary to issue your visa. When that processing is complete, the status will change to "Issued". However, a final screening step must still be completed prior to issuance that could lead a consular officer to conclude that you are not eligible for a visa. If that occurs, the consular officer will notify you that your application has been denied and your status will change to "Refused". Does anybody know what it means? I found little to no information about this CEAC status update, unfortunately, and I'm very worried it doesn't seem to happen often at all. Thank you 🙏

I am incredibly grateful! I really hope it speeds up for you guys, it's been a long time coming and it shouldn't take this long to book an interview! Let us know when you get an update🤞

Congratulations🤞 I also scheduled my interview and medical today, we are very close now!

Just checked the CEAC status and our case is now "Ready"!
