March 2017 Submission (I-130 sent fist *got accepted*) I-485 & I-765 Concurrent

[RalphCat]

I'm sorry. Stay strong, it will be approved soon for you!

@RalphCat I received an update from USPS that something was shipped from the USCIS center:

[ATTACH]808[/ATTACH]

Was it the same for you when you received the notification letter or will I now really receive my EAD card on Saturday?

The notification you posted was my actual EAD card. I got the notification letters a day before - they came in regular mail and were not tracked. Did you get your EAD notice yet?

No I didn't get the notice yet, but it might be in the mail today. The EAD card is already in San Francisco and will be delivered tomorrow.

RalphCat, I did not get ONE but TWO notifications today. One for the EAD and one for the AP!!! It was approved on the 12th of June as well.

It seems that the online system is not the most reliable one. Looking forward to my combo card tomorrow!

So in total 86 days from PD to the delivery of the combo card (tomorrow, according to USPS). That's actually quite fast.

When did you filed?

When did you file?

Filed I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131: 03/22/2017
PD: 03/23/2017
Checks cashed: 03/31/2017
Biometrics received: 04/14/2017
Biometrics walk-in: 04/17/2017
Filed SR (for I-765 via phone): 06/07/2017 (day 76)
SR completed (for i-765, didn't get an email notification, but saw it online, on the case): 06/09/2017
New card ordered (I-765): 06/12/2017
Notification of Action I-797 for both EAD & AP: 06/16/2017
Combo Card (EAD & AP) arrived: 06/17/2017 (day 86)

In the end both I-765 & I-131 were approved on 06/12/2017 and the combo card arrives today. The status for the AP just didn't update online.

I also called them to file a service request for my I-131 one day after the I-765 was approved, but they told me, that the two are not connected, that it's still within normal processing time and that I will get a separate paper for the AP. They probably saw the same information in their system that I did online and not the internal processing status.

And I really got the combo card today! I'm so happy and can't wait to share the news with my family in my home country.

CONGRATS! This is great news! Im glad you got your combo card - so much unnecessary stress tho with the online system not updating properly.

I am still perplexed tho - the approval of SR is so haphazard and makes it so hard to determine when you will get your approvals.

Thank you so much! Yes, unnecessary stress and waiting. Yeah, the approval of the SR is completely random and probably depends on what the person had for breakfast :-D

We included one check for a total of $1,760.00 (I-130, I-131, I-486, I-765 and Biometrics).

I sent two checks from my checking account. One for $535 and the other for $1225. They were cashed pretty fast and at least I have proof that they cashed them and when they cashed them.
