October 2007 Filers

I hope it comes in a week.Just got final notice on my 1-130 and I-485
Today saying approval notice has been sent, but its only a 2 yr notice

that is great. congratulations to you again. I went to infopass today and they told me my files are being transferred to local office, also found out my name check is pending. anyway, I keep my finger crossed ans wish the name check is clear soon.
 
Did anyone receive the EAD approval notice? or everybody just got the EAD card in the mail, My lawyer got the approval notice but I still havent received the EAD card and it's almost a month since I received the first Card Production Ordered email. And is anybody else using a lawyer, maybe that's why is taking longer

Call the USCIS hotline. EAD application is processed in 11 weeks according to USCIS.
 
Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On January 11, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you.

good luck tomorrow and please keep us updated when you are back.

Thanks for the well wishes. The interview was short and the only question asked was to my wife that how we met. I was only asked to fill I-864A and no other document was seen.

:) :D :cool:

The interviewing person asked me that I've to fill a I-864A as I didn't. I told him that I read the instructions and since I don't have any dependants, I didn't. But he gave me the form and I filled it out.

Yes, the passport is stamped.

Congratulations mfghazi.

My interview was also on the 15th and also got approved. The interview was about 20 minutes long but it was mainly the IO going over documents and comparing them to the application, hardly any questions at all.

OK, finally I got the interview call today so the wait is over. I pray all others who are waiting get their interview letters asap.

Just a bit concerned like others as the letter says 'initial interview'. Am wondering there will be more??? May be someone who has taken the interview can answer that.

I don't think you can call FBI and get some status on the 'name check'. However, you can call FBI to check on the fingerprinting status and they would tell you if they have already sent the results to USCIS.

Yes, the passport is stamped.

Could you please tell me if your interview letter said 'initial' interview? Mine said so and I am concerned if this is the first one I am going to have...

RustyNail74,

I would not worry about whether the Interview Letter says Initial Interview or not. This is the only interview you are expected to attend unless the IO decides you need another.

My letter also said Initial Interview.
