Awesome - congrats! Still waiting (im)patiently on EAD/AP my side. The DHS site suddenly this morning shows the interview being ready to be scheduled for the 485 - the update was dated May 29th but only showed up this morning for the first time. I know they were doing system maintenance last night so hopefully that pushed something along!

Employment authorization and social security cards received in the mail today. Still waiting for separate advanced parole letter.

Are you a k-1 AOS applicant? Did you mean "between the NBC (National Benefits Center) and the local office"? All of that sounds like a Tier 1 rep guessing what's going on with your case. It really is way too early for your case to be moved to the field office. That does not happen until the field office requests your file to be physically transferred there. Once your case reaches the "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" stage, do not get uber excited. You will be at that stage for a long time while under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Field Office. That's just the reality of it.

Most cases under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Field Office are taking 14 months, by the way; unless of course, you have a complicated case or your background check is taking a long time because you've lived in 15 countries.

Next time you call, do not waste your time with Tier 1 reps. They can see the same information that you have access to. Ask to be transferred to Tier 2 "because you keep getting conflicting information and you would like them to take a look at your EAD/AP"
In the mean time, you can start applying for jobs. With a job offer in hand, you would be able to place a request to expedite your EAD/AP.

All the best,

USCFFS

We filed marriage based, came as a tourist, not fianc?e. And we still not received any updates on the USCIS site from 4/27/18 up for today. I received courtesy letter about medical and no updates that fingerprints done or case is ready for interview - just nothing. Also no EAD or AP...
I'm on the stage 'We received your documents on 4/27/18" That is my biggest concern...
We are very waiting for EAD and AP. Not sure who may give me a job offer, I'm not in IT or someone who is on demand... Don't believe that any retail places will be so interesting in me to give me the offer prior I receive EAD... This is truth about life...

Let's keep updating!

Looks like a bunch of April filers have received their EADs, which is great news!

Lets keep each other posted as soon as we hear back from USCIS - I'm sure this forum is great support for everyone waiting to hear back!

AOS Interview (Employment Based)

So my interview is scheduled for the end of the month.
I've gathered the documents listed on the I-797 (the ones that i have) and made copies of the originals.
Should I bother involving the attorney at this point? They're asking for stupid amounts of money simply to "prep" me for the interview and review my documents.

1. I come from a "low-risk" country and have no run-ins with the law.
2. I've not fallen out of status at any point during my residence in the US
3. Taxes and all paid...

Hi,

We sent our I-485,130,765,131 applications together.
04/05/2018 - PD
04/12/2018 - Notice of Action
05/04/2018 - Biometrics done
06/24/2018 - Fingerprint Review was Completed
07/17/2018 - We are ready to schedule for Interview
09/01/2018 - RFIE on EAD and AP applications
09/04/2018 - Interview was Scheduled

Does anyone have this experience where the 485 moves along but the EAD and AP gets RFE'd? I made extra copies for evidence that is in my 485 stack for each of my EAD and AP applications. I also sent in pictures separately for each application. Any speculations of what it could be? I am still waiting on the RFE in the mail. It is odd that I have not gotten it yet but mail here has been odd lately. (Our distribution and "main PO" is actually in a different state and our local PO is just a satellite for services).

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and feedback for my sanity

Marriage based AOS
PD - April 27
Biometrics appointment - May 17
Notification that interview has been schedule - July 21
Interview - August 30 (approved at end of interview)
Received green card - Sept 7 😊😊

I applied for a combo card along with my package and never received during my process but shocked at how quickly things moved when I figured it would be 6 months - 1 years before an interview date

Hi, my PD is 03/04, done biometrics in April, since then nothing.

Filed from Florida, according to zip code my field office is Montgomery, AL.

My friend down in Boca Raton, Florida got her EAD with AP on her 150th day, so fingers crossed (she filed in January).

If the field office processing your case is the National Benefits Center, you should inquire about your case since it is now outside normal processing time. The date is at 09/03/18. You're before that date, if you're being processed at NBC. Check processing times at https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
