Thank you, everyone, for sharing your experience via this medium.
In moments of sadness, anxiousness, and impatience, your words of experience somehow provide great comfort to me.
I filed in April.
It is July, 1st and I am feeling desperate.
If you have also filed in April (or better yet, March!), please share your experience. It will be extremely helpful for me.
I filed from Connecticut (YEAR 2016).
Note: I am the beneficiary. I am currently on an F-1 visa completing OPT. I have been in the US since 2006, LEGALLY... Arrived on a J-1 and switched to an F-1 in 2008. I have finished my Bachelor's and my Master's degrees in this country. I met my husband in 2009, we remained close friends until 2013 when we began our relationship as boyfriend/girlfriend. We got engaged exactly on our 2-year anniversary last year. We got married last year (2015) in November.
This is our timeline for the application:
4/6 Application sent (I prepared everything myself)
4/10 Application delivered in Chicago, IL (Priority Mail 2-Day Certified Mail, Return Receipt... I regret not having paid more money so they could have it in their hands the next day! Those 4 days of waiting for my application to arrive to destination felt like an eternity)
4/18 I received 3 text messages from USCIS ("Your case was received.") I-765 & I-130 & I-485
4/18 USCIS cashed our checks
4/20 "Check Status" online worked for the first time
4/21 I received 3 receipts in the mail
4/29 I received the biometrics appointment letter in the mail
5/10 I followed the instructions in the letter and showed up in East Hartford at the time and day specified in the letter
6/2 I noticed on the USCIS "Check Status" website, the words for my I-485 had changed to "Case is Ready to be scheduled for an interview"
There are still no changes for the I-130 or the I-485
My question is, when will I receive my EAD? When will I have the interview?
