Approved Done and done... Finally!

One more update! I-130 just got approved (finally?) Now there should not be any more hurdles left for the approval of I-485... Come on NYC field office I am counting on you!

Still here! Hi everyone! Just wanted to keep everyone posted on what's been happening. I had my interview on November 9th but they couldn't adjudicate my file since I also have a pending employment application. I sent a letter to CIS the next day asking them to withdraw my other case and...

Thank you asj, I'll let everyone know how the interview goes. Although I am the last one to post here, I'm posting with the hopes that the future applicants can use this information.

Interview I'm happy to report that my interview date is finally set: November 9th. Wish me luck!!!

Yeah I'm still annoyed at myself for not selecting Newark :)

You may be in it for some time... Some get their interviews right away but regular processing time at NYC office is about 3 months behind what USCIS tries to achieve. I've been waiting since end of May!

I have a concurrent pending employment based application, and NBC is waiting on TSC to send that file to NBC... I don't know how long it will take but it looks like, I spoke with an officer yesterday and they said there isn't anything else they can do about it. So I'm waiting for a little...

Awesome! You should've pulled out the photo book and said "speaking of nude photos..." :)

Jacko answered your main question but I'll add my two cents too as a Turk. I recently renewed my Turkish ID card as well (which is the equivalent of a birth certificate anyway), and it doesn't take nearly as long as the consulate states it to take. Mine came back in just a month, and I sent...

I got my EAD & AP approved today. Slow but steady!

I'm still pending! I haven't even received an EAD :) Time to schedule an InfoPass me thinks...

Still no updates on my front... This is going to be a looooong ride. At least I'm eligible for an interim EAD now.

Ok definitely another immigrant heavy city. I'm hoping that my letter comes soon too! Best of luck at your interview :cool:

Hi eerobert what is your current location? I applied at the end of May and haven't heard anything yet maybe our locations are similar?? Or you may be in another immigrant-heavy city?

Your entry is not guaranteed with a visa either. A visa is a mere proof that you are "eligible" to enter into the country, but it's still up to the entry point inspector to decide whether you'll be allowed in. It's practically the same amount of risk. One caveat with AP is that it should be used...

Awesome! Did you get an email/status update or did you check the status yourself? I received an AP yesterday connected to my employment based application yet the AP status still shows initial review. It goes to show that a pending status doesn't necessarily mean that the case is pending :)

Thanks sfbay! I'll wait until I'm outside the processing time before calling USCIS, which is another 20 or so days... I'll keep everyone posted on how things are going though if an update comes through.

My case is still on hold... Another 20 days and I'll be eligible for the interim EAD! I guess I got caught on the wrong side of the immigration queue. I wonder if NSC is still waiting on my employment based file to be transferred from TSC...

It's starting to sound like my application is lagging behind :(
