Thank you so much!! Funny thing is yesterday I was looking through my old updates and txt msgs from uscis. Next thing I know, they sent me an update. It was so unexpected.

Tried that one after reading your message
We'll have to keep on trying
Best wishes on the interview and come back to share how it went.
Cheers.

I’m in Seattle, filed family-baed in September 2018, EAD combo receive November 2018 and since then it’s been in “Ready to be scheduled” phase until 07/23 when it again “updated” but to the same status. Any idea what the update means since it still shows “ready to schedule”?

Also, I’m sending the EAD renewal package this week. Do they grant an automatic 180 day extension or do I have to wait for the new card to be approved in 4-6 months?

The 180-day extension for the EAD is indicated in the Notice of Action that they will send you in receipt of the renewal package.
We just got our interview notice on a PD of March 2018, you will need to exercise some patience, your turn will come for the interview schedule, the USCIS system regularly sends out email updates but until the update says they have "taken action" on your case, you better believe your processing status has changed.
Anyways keep your tail up.
Cheers.

Thanks! I honestly don’t even think about the interview or the process as a whole. I know it’s gonna be at least another 6 months until maybe we’ll get the interview so I don’t sweat it at all. Whenever it happens, so be it. ????????♀️

Hi Seattle filers,

I am waiting for my AOS interview with PD May, 2018. Still no update yet. Following your timeline, hopefully I will get a notice this Oct.

Now I am renewing EAD & AP which will expire next month. I have some questions can anyone help?


1. I don't need application fee for either EAD or AP right?

2.Do I need to send copy of birth certificate with I-765 and I-131 ?

3. Which way of shipping are accepted for USPS, Fedex etc. ?

Thank you so much and good luck!

Thanks for the heads up.
Are you ready for your interview? Or are you rescheduling due to your move?
Good luck as always.

We were planning to move by end of September. Since we own a property here we’re still planning to leave this address as our lawyer confirmed that although they canceled the first interview (July) they were planning to reschedule. It seems she had other clients with similar issues. We are still moving by end of September and might not need to change anything because our interview is the first week of September

Hey! When I was filling for my renewal work permit , I followed instructions on USCIS web site. No payment is needed, and I didn’t include my birth certificate. Make sure to file application correctly, include copies of your current work permit, passport, ID, American visa. I shipped with FEDEX.
Here is the link with instructions.
