Miami Filer

I got married in 2015 however my spouse just got citizenship this year so I waited until after the citizenship to file for GC and EAD.

I filed my I-130 back in March 2016


I did all my forms myself (no lawyer)

Nov. 3rd 2017: I filed I-485, I-765 and I-864
Nov. 6th, 2017: Received in Chicago Office
Nov. 15th 2017: Email and text that case accepted NBC Center
Nov. 24th 2017: Received Biometrics Letter for 12/08/2017 Appointment
Nov. 24, 2017: Biometrics Walk in and got done in 10 mins


No updates when I check the receipt numbers still saying Fingerprint fee was accepted and your case was received.
So the wait begins

I got no RFE, I have been in the states for over 16 years so I am pretty sure they have performed a background check on me. Even for DACA I had to provide a criminal record report. The earliest you can get the EAD is 90 days but it can take longer.

Like I said, every case is different.

Background check is valid for 1 year. I agree it is case to case. But that number is there for a reason.

[Walbrzyszanka21]

Like i said from the site, it is 90 days. I am assuming normal processing. It can take longer due to other factors like RFE, background check finger print and and name check is taking longer like if your name is common and you resulted in a record, etc.

But if everything checks out, hopefully you'll get it within that timeframe.

That differs from case to case. Just look at my schedule down below. I got my GC the Friday after Thanksgiving so over 5 months for the entire process.

From the site, it says within 90 days from filing for the ead

Hi everyone,

I filed for GC through my husband who is a USC. Here's my timeline. I filed everything on my own (no lawyer). From Dallas, TX

Package sent 11/07/2017 (Mailed via USPS to Chicago Lockbox)
Package delivered 11/10/2017 (Package was sent to National Benefits Center)
Package received 11/13/2017
Email Receipt 11/19/2017
Letter of receipt 11/26/2017
Biometric Letter Recived 12/01/2017
Biometric appt 12/12/2017

Anyone know how long to receive EAD after biometrics? I'm currently a DACA holder and my work permit is about to expire in March

From the site, it says within 90 days from filing for the ead

Hi Guys,
My attorney submitted my file (i485,i131,i765) to the USCIS, Nebraska center on November 15th.
We have not heard back from USCIS, no email, no text, money orders has not cahsed yet!.
My attorney claims that it is normal to take couple of weeks without any update!
Is he right?

I appreciate your helps/comments.
