Miami Filer

Guys my PD is Oct 17
Done my Bio on 08/11
My status still reads " Fee received "
File is in NBC
Any idea what i can expect ???????
Got a courtesy letter dated 11.07 for medical

I'm at NBC as well. You can keep waiting or make a service request over the phone after 75 or 90 days...it's up to you. As well as contact your congressman after 90 days and in the event you have a job offer you can request an expedite. The thing is none of these options guarantees a quick result.

Hello!

I'm applying from Orlando. On a B2 Visa as Canadian Citizen.
I unfortunately couldn't track my case online. All of my four receipts for I485, I130, i131 and I765 displays validation error so i'm kind of in a blind spot.

Here's my full timeline.

10/26/2017: Priority Date

11/02/2017: SMS/Email Confirmatio

11/07/2017: 4 NOA's received in Mail

11/17/2017: Received Biometrics Appointment Letter

11/22/2017: Received Courtesy Letter

11/29/2017: Biometrics Appointment

12/21/2017: EAD/AP Approval in 56 Days

Thank you so much and congrats! Is the courtesy letter that you received for medical? Since you didn’t submit i693 with the originals? Thanks!

Thank you dear! I'm adjusting from B2 visa and to add from your previous question which i missed, case is at NBC/MSC and case tracker is stuck on fingerprint fee received and case received. So the approval notice was a welcomed surprise.

Ok, well hopefully we don't get any RFE's!!

I have done the Biometrics since November 10 but right now it is still "Biometrics fee were receive". Is there anything wrong?

Ead card in hand

EAD CARD IN HAND! Good luck everyone who is still waiting. January will be your month, continue praying and having faith that the GC or EAD will come in short time.

Looks like the Status in the Case tracker isn’t updating for anyone (including the ones that have got their EADs).

My full GC through marriage experience

Hello everyone! My GC came in mail today and I’m super happy! I know i have posted about my interview coming up but I wanted to wait till it’s all settled to share my experience. So first of all, this is my timeline:

Green Card timeline


December 13th, 2016- got married
Feb 1st- sent out paperwork
Feb 2nd- paperwork received
Feb 10th- text i-797 confirmation, check cashed
Feb 25th- biometrics apt notice received for March 8th.
Mar 8th- biometrics apt. Took 30mins
May 9th- "the case is ready to be scheduled for interview."
May 1st- "new card is being produced."
May 8th- received EAD card in mail (valid till 4/30/18)
November 21st- Interview notice received (December 21st)
December 21st- Interview at Orlando Field office
December 29th- I-130 and I-485 APPROVED!!!!
December 30th- CARD RECEIVED IN MAIL!

Thank God!!! The interview itself was VERY straight forward. We were lucky to have gotten a very laid back officer who didn’t get into much detail about anything. At first he asked us names, dates of birth, where we were born and names of our parents etc because he was making sure that it’s all correct in the paperwork that was already submitted. I would have imagined he would ask me my husband’s info and vice versa bet he asked us our own info. Then he asked to elaborate on where we met, how our relationship established and how my husband proposed in detail. It was very casual as we were explaining everything he said he sees my husband and i get along really well. I think that was the breaking point because as nervous as we were we stayed casual and cracked a couple jokes.
Towards the end of the interview he asked me (the applicant) about 20 “NO” questions. For example, if I’m planning to overthrow the government, if I’m planning on being a spy and kidnapping people. So that was very formal.
After that he asked if we have more evidence to give him along with what was already submitted and 3 to 5 pictures. We had a whole album but he only wanted a few pics to keep. We also gave him my pay stubs, copies of my I-20 forms since I have held multiple F-1 student visas in the past. And also he wanted just the first page of out joint bank account statements (where both of our names are) stating that he “doesn’t need to see our finances” just a proof that we have comingling funds. So for the rest of you, don’t worry if you don’t have much money in your account (because I’ve seen people being worried about that on posts I’ve read.)
We only had oiginals of my pay stubs so we all walked to the copy room and he made copies. I felt bad for not having the copies but he didn’t seem AT ALL that it was hassle for him go do it himself. But I would definitely recommend having copies of everything!


On our way out he didn’t approve me on the spot but just mentioned that he doesn’t see any shortcomings coming our way.


Good luck to everyone still waiting, be patient and things workout eventually! )

PD: October 12,2017
Fingerprints done:November 9
Center working on application:NBC
I haven’t heard anything since then.
I have a question,if someone may help and share any experience.I am still on F1 status and i am doing AOS based on marriage. My DSO advised me to apply for OPT as well,just as a back -up plan (i finished my program this month).Has anyone applied for EAD-OPT and EAD (through AOS) at the same time?
Thank you and best of luck to all of you

Interesting... I am not sure of what is an EAD-OPT. Would love to get more details.

I have applied for EAD through OPT once I have finished my education -- it was before I got married. It took me aroung $200.00 and a couple of weeks to submit papers and I had to wait for it for a couple of months. Since you have already applied forEAD through AOS, I do not see big of advantage appling for EAD through OPT. Sounds like extra work and money with not that big of advantage. This is just my opinion.

You’re not alone. Today is exactly day 90 for me. I did fingerprint on Nov. 6. Not heard anything again. Hoping we receive something in the mail this Friday. I realize I always get the mail on fridays.
