Congrats!!!! That's awesome!

Nothing new as of yet.

Seems to be super quiet on all fronts!

Yes...it does vary widely. Got my card through NBC (well MSC now part of NBC)...approved within ~2.5 month on my end, with card in hand just shy of 3 months. It will happen, hopefully very soon for you!

I received a new Social Security card. Same name, same number, same details on card as my old one. Just a new date. I did check off to send me a card just in case the info was different, but it's all the same info. Another document to check off my list

I think padding the vaccine waiver on religious grounds with affidavit letters and a strong personal statement goes a long way. And as you said, a genuine belief is what they are after. The more supporting documentation, the better the conviction. The interviewer didn't press to hard on her waiver; it was a brief conversation. I'm not sure about timeline for others without waivers. I think COVID stalled a lot of people out with limited appointments.

She filed I-601 for vaccine waiver, along with documents to support extreme hardship and a statement of discretion. Her green card application was during COVID so that may have impacted the timeline. She filed May 2020 and got her green card May 2021. Her I-601 was approved with her I-485/I-130 three days after her interview, and she received her green card one week after the interview. They asked her a few question about her beliefs and documents she submitted during the interview, but didn't focus too much time on that form. I think the key to her getting her I-601 approved was LOTS of documentation: years worth of vaccine waivers, affidavit letters from others, a strong personal statement, and medical records.

Thanks! I imagine they will all be approved at the same time (though I have heard of others having I-485 and I-130 being approved at different times). My daughter's I-601/I-485/I-130 were approved together. Hoping mine will both be approved along with my I-130 quickly! Finally received my EAD yesterday! No mistakes on info which is great.

My latest update: I-765 - Case approved (dated 9/30/24). No card yet in hand. No updates on the other forms.

You'd think it wouldn't be that hard. My daughter got her first US passport....her last name has only 3 letters and they still spelled it wrong. Crazy!!!

Just saw today that my USCIS account updated to show my EAD is being produced as of 9/27/24. Finally a baby step!

Congrats on your EAD! A step in the right direction.
