Day 132,still no response or letters from them.The last time they sent me a letter about a month before they sent the old EAD.

Just got an update saying my EAD is being produced! I waited for 6 months......

Expedite through congressman John Lewis. Anyone?

So I recently contacted congressman John Lewis(Atlanta) to assist me to expedite my EAD. I would like to know if anyone here has had any contact with his office in the past.

After sending him the documents on the 29th of August, I got an almost instant feedback that they did forward my expedite request to NBC . However, up until now I haven?t heard anything from him. Has he helped anyone of you guys .

Please how long does it take the Atlanta field office to adjudicate a spouse sponsored i485

I have not contacted any congressmen. However, from my understanding, the EAD and AP are handled by the National Benefit Center (NBC) and not your local field office. Hopefully Mr. Lewis can help you get your EAD a little faster. Let us know. We received the EAD after about 5-6 months.

As for the 485 (adjustment of status) to get a green card, it is taking about 12 months+ for people to get their interviews. My PD is 12/17 and have not received any interview notices yet.

status is unavailable, still waiting for renwal of i765, i131 sent in July 2018

i485, 765, 131, 130 filed in Oct 2017 for Atlanta Office. Got combo EAD by Dec2017. few months later the status was "interview is being scheduled" but after that it says "At this time USCIS cannot provide you with information for your case. Please contact the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 for additional information"
When I called them, the person told me your case is in normal process. My EAD is goin to expire in Dec18. as USCIS recommends to apply renewal 180 days prior to expiration so I applied for renewal and received receipt notices. I'm still waiting for my combo card.
is there anyone to tell me about such kind of status saying cannot provide.... I'm really stressed...

Go to your Senator and the Ombudsman. They should know about the "system glitch" and hopefully, call USCIS out on it. The system simply stopped scheduling interviews for cases filed in 2017 and proceeded to schedule cases filed in 2018 - all while 2017 filers were and are still waiting.

Just google it. You'll read posts of people reporting they had been scheduled for employment based AOS interviews but they had filed for family based AOS. A LOT OF PEOPLE got green cards within 90 days. Granted they now have to deal with removal of conditions BUT they got their green cards. Their luck came at a price to others who had already been waiting for a long time for their interviews.

I am pretty sure the glitch is still happening, and people aren't posting about it.

Here you go. Please spend time reading through the links contained in this thread. https://www.immihelp.com/forum/showt...interview-tips
Putting together is a tried and true method. In your case, you will need a notarized affidavit of residence from your father in-law, you should author one too and your wife, as well. Your driver's license should also show your address. Look at user Tezza's evidence. It's #4 on the list.

Pictures carry the least weight, by the way. Focus on CONCRETE evidence of bona fide marriage. This does not mean that you should only show evidence since the date of your marriage. Focus on longevity. Start with the date that you met. Dig up receipts + text messages + pictures, etc. Evidence of bona fide marriage refers to your good faith intentions, so that starts when you met and started dating. If you filed right after getting married, you do not want USCIS thinking you met on Monday, married on Tuesday and filed on Wednesday.

All the best,

USCFFS
