February 2019 filers

[page341]

Mine is Dallas tx, I guess it’s going to take a while ):

I think processing time is very relative. I didn’t ask to expedite i 485 but EAD and interview came first. I even thought my clock was reser because of the RFIE, And thinking about it there should be way more cases in new york compared to Texas, hang in there i know it’s frustrating but your time will come!

That's what I have been thinking! How does it go so fast in New York? I'd think there would be double the amount of people applying for green cards!

It's a mystery. A lot of people/lawyers assume things about case processing but i guess nobody really know. In reality its not fast in New York, i guess i was just blessed because there's people around waiting long time for this.

Hi,

just wanted to share my timeline (work based sponsorship – New York):

23 January – PERM approved

14 February – Date of filing (I–765, I–485 AOS, I–131)

12 March – I-140 approval

11 April – biometrics appointment

21 May - transfer to NBC



I didn't get any note after biometrics, is it ok? And still no EAD card.

Thank you

Yes, some people get EAD fast, some take 8 months or more. After biometrics, unless you get the EAD, you get RFE or they set an interview, there is nothing mailed.

Oh wow that’s long. Well atleast you have EAD, i was just hoping to get EAD and let the interview come whenever because i have a pending job offer.

[chungsobu911]

Nope, I am still waiting for the interview dates to be scheduled....

Hello all I am new here. My husband is the beneficiary. I am a US Citizen. We are in Philadelphia. I am getting nervous about our I-131 as I was told we would get it in 3-4 months but it hasnt come yet. This is our timeline:

Filed: 2/8
biometrics: 3/6

NOTHING SINCE.

The receipt numbers start with MSC so i guess that means its at the national benefits center?

We scheduled a trip to Italy in August for our Italian wedding reception --- what are our chances of going?!??!

[Scanigm]

I stopped checking my status for awhile now

lad5144 did you only apply for I-131 or I-765 also? I guess that if you asked for I-765 that will hold back the I-131 so you could get a combo card. The bad news is that is taking more than 6 months for a lot of people.

Yes we applied for both (at recommendation of lawyer)--- his job is how he got his J-1 so I'm not sure if he also needed the I-765? In any event, yes we applied for both.

I wish the lawyers would be more nuanced with that recommendation, based on the current delays with the I-765 ! Average processing time now seems to be over 7 months and growing. My husband is on F1 and also didn't need I-765 but we applied for both, based on recommendations from others who had filed under a different time... even a year ago. I-765 processing has really spiraled out of control in the meantime. We had to apply for I-131 expedite and fortunately had the documentation that was in support of USCIS criteria. Would a wedding reception comply with that criteria? I'm not so sure. Definitely talk with your lawyer. Good luck!
