After reading through the forums and talking to our lawyer we decided to bring our 23 month toddler with us as we don?t have any other option. In the interview letter it says you don?t need to bring your child whereas we need to as we don?t have any other choice. Additionally our lawyer said that it is helpful for the IO to show your marriage is Bona fide. Regarding my documents I am reading most of the posts with different scenarios and I will post mine as soon as I draft it. I will need your support and comments as some of the documents seem really irrelevant for us. All the best for now.
Omg! Congratulations! So happy for you!
Wish mine is the same, but I?m located in SanFrancisco that takes about 12-18mos.
I still have long ways to go.
I got an update on the app saying I?m getting scheduled for interview, but who knows when my interview date is. My PD is 3/30. So I guess I need to wait for a year.
Did you get your EAD/Ap yet? If not, then you won?t need it by the time you?re finished with your interview.
Best wishes on your interview and please keep us updated.
Thank you for your best wishes. Same wishes go back to you. Keep your hopes high and believe. It will come sooner. Again as of today no EAD or AP. Hopefully if we get the approval at the interview, I will ask for a I-551 stamp. All the best.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this was discussed already but USCIS updated their processing times and EAD is officially taking 4 to 6 months to process now. They even updated the inquiry date to a previous date. It's infuriating, I cannot even go food shopping without my husband since I cannot apply for a DL without SSN.
Yesterday I asked my husband to relocate to my country (contrary to what USCIS may believe, I was doing great back home and wouldn't have stayed here but for my husband). He agreed to it but not until January, which seems like a very long time right now but its better than nothing. I thought I would be okay with not being able to work or drive for a while but its driving me nuts. The fact that now I don't know when to expect my EAD and SSN definitely doesn't help at all.
I did request to expedite my Advance Parole document and faxed them the evidence on Tuesday. At least I hope to get that quickly so I can start looking for a job back home.
I went from being an independent professional woman to feeling completely useless. Sorry for the rant, I'm just so upset.

Why don't you look for a job and expedite your EAD?
Look at it this way, you can say I get to enjoy 4 to 6 months break or you can be miserable because you are not what you were. Either you wait for USCIS. Plus you knew what you were getting into with the GC process. So why the frustration now?
So stop making crazy moves like going back to home country just because it is hard for a few months in a long life. After you have EAD or GC your outlook will change dramatically. Wishing you all the best with your wait.

Never apologize for ranting! We all have the right to rant. I would strongly recommend that you consider kd2008's suggestion. You are a professional. Then, you should be able to secure a job, and have your EAD expedited on the basis of a job offer. If USCIS declines it, and they might, you restate your request, and/or run to your Senator at that point.
