May 2018 filers

[NADUS]

We were approved on the spot! It was nice and smooth. The IO was so pleasant and friendly. We were scheduled for 8:15 and arrived there 7:55. He just asked for pictures and original documents then asked information that?s already on the forms. He also asked when and how we met. I felt so relieved that the IO was so nice. It gave me a good feeling while talking to him. All in all. From May 11 that I sent out my application, it was a total of 3 months. I didn?t get any EAD but I got an interview right away. Good luck to everyone. Just be patient and as long as everything is legal and real, be confident.

Congratulation !!!!

does anyone know?

hi everyone,

i had an EAD under different category. but it is expiring in January 2019. when i applied for AOS in May 2018, i didn't include i-765 application. so the question is, since i gave my fingerprint for the AOS application. do i still have to give another fingerprint for EAD renewal? any advice or experience would be really helpful.

thanks

Hello everyone,

I filed back in May (PD is 05/03), and got my fingerprints taken 06/06. Since then, I have got no news. For my I-130 and I-765, I've only been informed that my case has been received; for my I-485, the last notice is that the fingerprints fee has been received. What is next? Should I be receiving an update before receiving my EAD?

Also, I did not include an I-131 with my application as I do not intend to leave the country during the process. Will this affect the timing for my EAD?

In case it matters, I live in NJ and my center is Newark, NJ, which I think is one of the slowest.

Thank you!

i dont think 1-131 will effect your EAD. i think you can call USCIS and expedite your EAD. for ex, work offer letter or financial issues and etc

My case seems completely stuck. I filed on 5/1 and did my biometrics on 5/30. I have not received any updates ever since. Both of the online trackers show "We received your biometrics fee and are reviewing your case" for the I-485, and "We received your case" for all the other forms (last tracker updates were on 5/7).

Is there anything I can do to know what's happening with my case? Should I contact my local senator?

I am in the same situation. My PD is 5/3, biometrics appointment 6/6 and I have received no updates (your case was received for everything expect fingerprint was received for i485). I am in Central Jersey.

NJsamesex,

It sounds like you do not have online access to your cases. I would recommend creating an account on each of these two sites.

https://egov.uscis.gov. (Sign up)
https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov (add a paper filed case - use your receipt)

The two sites are updated as adjudicators take actions on your cases. Each site displays different updates so it?s best to have both.

I am new to this forum - My timeline is listed below. I find that the processing times listed on the USCIS might not be quite accurate based on the research I have done so far on this forum. Last update shows that the Finger prints done in end of june

nope no EAD yet, update says: "As of July 2, 2018, we completed our review of your fingerprints and are working on your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, Receipt Number ....." initially my file was received on May 14th,

I just notice this update today when I created a new account on the https://my.uscis.gov/account website. The other website (https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus) does not have any updates - it just shows case received on all the applications. Is this normal? How long does it take to schedule an interview?

Usually, 2 weeks after you get that update then the interview itself is after 3 weeks. You can take a look at my timeline if you want. But I?m not sure if I just got lucky to have my Green Card in 3months after filing.
