February 2018 submission- i-130, i-485, i-765 - concurrent filing

[MissTz1982]

Ohhh I see. Thank you! I prematurely didn't file for Advance Parole thinking I would receive my green card interview within a couple months. I didn't do the research. Can I for it now?

Yes. I think you can file for AP even after you have received your EAD. Not sure though.

Did you call them ask what they meant by your case not being severe enough? When is your PD?

No, I haven't. Should I clarify with them? I guess severe is subjective from person to person. My PD is 2/21/2018. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Sr

My pd is 2/13, i call the customer care to complain about my inability to access my receipt directly on uscis website and ask for update on all my cases. She did attended beautifully well but at the end of the day she ask if i need to raise SR on my EAD because all the cases are on processing, which i said yes, this result in a long number to be kept . The waiting game is crazy

Oh ok. I?m guessing it?s because you hadn?t reached the 90 days processing time when you requested for the EAD to be expedited and they probably felt that you were not in severe need for the EAD.

I see. I guess I will try it again after 90 days.

EAD delayed

As I read other threads, I just concluded that this time around the office is so overwhelmed with applications and run behind mostly. I for one raised SR on EAD, but I figured that delays things ever worse. I've already been schedule for the interview, I guess I'll wait that.

I'm on the movement (I guess not yet) on no EAD and straight to GC, with shorter time.😎

The EAD and AP, by definition, is supposed to let you able to work and travel while the long wait of your gc. It is to make up the mistake that USCIS being way too slow on processing AOS. Now they are also slow on the EAD and AP. I really don't know what else of excuse they have now. I paid for the thousand dollar application fee. I should get some kind of progress.

I'm also on day 86 but I have received my EAD and social security card. It's weird. It's like the people who have EADs are waiting on interviews. People who have received their interviews don't have EADs. I would have preferred the interview to get everything over but I am thankful for what I do have. It's a lot of people waiting way longer.

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

So, question? I have my EAD and my social security card now. I haven't been scheduled for an interview yet but I would love to go visit my mother for her birthday in July. Before getting married and filing for my green card I was here on a B2 travel visa. Overstayed. Now that I have my EAD, can I travel to Jamaica to visit my mother?

how long did is your overstay?

If it's the question I am thinking of, we entered "I-485 pending". After several immihelp/google searches, that's what made the most sense. My spouse was out of status already at that point.

8 months before I got married. I should have returned November of 2016 but was married in July of 2017.

Hey guys,

I had my green card interview yesterday and I wanted to share my experience. I live in Chicago and went to the Chicago Field office. Waited for about 20 minutes until the fire alarm went off and everyone had to leave the building. We got back in about 20 minutes later. Was called in for the interview about 2 hours after we had initially arrived. We had a brand new IO, and in the room was another IO who was observing. The IO asked for our birth certificates, ID's, passports, etc. Then he proceeded to ask me (applicant) questions about I-485. What's your full name? Where were you born? What's your current address? When last did you enter the country? How did you come to the country? What's my current job? What's my father's name? And then he went on to ask me the Yes/No questions on the I-485. He then asked my husband questions on his I-130. Where was he born? What does he do? What's his address? Do we have recent tax returns? (We had filed jointly for the first time this year). He then asked about his mother who was the joint sponsor. Then he asked for any other supporting evidence. And finally asked how we met and who proposed. We then chatted about people submitting outdated medical forms, and he said that our file looked pretty good, and that a decision will be made at the end of this week. Both officers then explained that I had to keep an eye out for when my GC would expire because I need to apply for a new one 90 days before it expires. They made it seem like everything was good and that we should get approved soon. Fingers crossed we have a decision by Friday. I'm an F-1 student and my OPT expires on June 14th so I really hope that I will have it before then. Oh! I also asked about the EAD and the observing officer said that that office was running very behind and that things that take 2.5 are now taking 6 months and that I would get my GC before my EAD. I keep frantically checking my email and my case status online for a decision. Let's hope all goes well.

Thanks!

Congratulations! I think it all went very well for you. You will get an update soon enough.

Best.
