Been waiting for 120 days since the fingerprint fee was received...put in a request before and the response was meaningless. Today I asked Emma if I should put in another request, she told me I can't until it's another 30 days after the response...seriously?

For those who did their biometrics already, how long did you have to wait to get your EAD or Combo card? My PD is July 10th, I did my biometrics today and I am a Brooklyn filer. Thanks a lot

Yes married to USC. Field office Tustin, CA. I don't know what I can do...

Turns out my PERM went through and my employer filed I-140 a few days ago with premium processing, requesting to link it to the I-485 I had already submitted. Hoping this will speed up the process.

Congratulations, how long did it take for your perm to get approved?

Thank you. The PERM took a long time, over 6 months, and that was why my employer encouraged me to go the marriage route while waiting for it. I believe they submitted all the paperwork in either January or February (recruitment was around November last year) and we only got notice of approval in October.

Update :

Got the Bio done yesterday, late night I485 and I765 Status Updated [Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken]. However as expected my spouse's Bio was ONLY done for 765 and the status is also not yet updated.

This is frustrating and will see how things move forward.

If it's any consolation, I'm on the 136th day...2 service requests - no response to either of them...

They don't send different bios for 765 and 485. It is the same. Once you have your bio taken, they will apply to both 485 and 765.

I did my BIO today, question for you, did they hold the document that you entered your name and race or they gave it back to you?

They gave it back us.

[reesh1900]

They gave it back us.

Also, nothing updated in I131 ... just wondering what does that mean.

I think the service request won't do a thing...If you don't mind me asking, what's your field office?

Is anyone been able to get through to human phone or chat representative recently? (in last 1-2 weeks). I used to be able to get through to humans on both channels, but recently they seem to have changed things and I can't get through. They just keep regurgitating useless menu options.

Select case status when you call. Enter all your details and at some point you will her the option to expedite your request. From there you will be connected and talk to someone
