After a lot of hand wringing I finally got my EAD yesterday! (FYI, I had called for an expedite and wasn't asked for evidence of financial hardship either)
So now I'm in preparation for my interview. I found a cheap immigration lawyer and will be assembling my paperwork and evidence.
Good luck...
Thanks you guys, it was just my nerves talking. I've been stalking my mail box lately :)
Hi javis123, I went with my DL and letter. I would call the embassy and see how to renew her passport. (The sooner the better).
@TonyGman glad you're feeling better.
Congratulations ctraquair!
Congrats...
@Gelia Has this happened to you? It seems that I have gone a step even further back. Now my status has moved from Card/ Document Production back to to Post Decision Activity. It went from the 4th, to the 7th and now the 11th...
"On April 11, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved...
Oh wow, I hope you're right thomkip! That would be FANTASTIC because I was bracing for another week or two and this job offer might disappear by then.
@Gelia, glad I'm not the only one. Looks like it might be great news after all!
Congratulations, Induz! I can't wait to make the same announcement at some pont. Please write your account of your experience soon, I know Im dying to know what you were asked, etc.
@TonyGman I wouldn't take it personally that people might not have responded to you sometimes. People don't...
Oh now we're talking :)
"Card/ Document Production.
On April 4, 2011, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. "
I'm guessing it'll take a week or two to get the EAD?
Thanks @thompkin.
I got my interview letter today! I'm so excited (yet slightly nervous :)
I'm so glad to see some movement.
I called USCIS and put in an EAD expedite request 3 days ago and will see what comes of that. I literally have a job offer waiting. This is waiting process TORTURE.
Did you require the package be signed? I didn't and still eventually received my texts.
I wouldn't freak out yet, especially because there was a gov't holiday.
@dunee88 Thanks for the tip! I'm going tomorrow morning.
Anyone else successfully got in on a walkin?
Biometrics notice finally! It's sooo far away though. I called USCIS customer svc. and asked if I could do a walk in - they said they stopped doing walkins there, even on Wednesdays.
I'm gonna try anyway. What is the best time to try, in the morning or afternoon?
FYI: I used the A# on the OPT...
Got 2 NOAs! Postage stamp on envelopes is Feb 9th. Wonder why they took so long to get here...
They are only for I-765 and I-485, though. The others are probably en route *sigh*
I'm in MD.
I got an attorney to quickly look over my paperwork before I sent it in. Nothing in-depth because it was a favor. Will probably have one for the interview. Are you using one?
STILL haven't gotten my NOA or Biometrics appointment letters. Hoping for tomorrow....:confused:
I was wondering if doing a walk-in, for biometrics, speeds up the process?
Need an EAD like yesterday.
I read somewhere that you need to have waited about 90 days to get help from your congressman.....
Filed I-130, I-485, I-765
Anyone filing from the DC, MD or VA area?
02-Feb-11 Application sent to Chicago, IL - Day 1
04-Feb-11 USCIS Received Application - Day 3
09-Feb-11 Notice of Action Received - Day 8
10-Feb-11 Check Cashed - Day 9
oops, missed your posts to me.
@ ctraquair Looks like you're a day ahead of me.... but I'm not worried..... :)
@immiresearch Thanks, mine is online too - under initial review, yay
This process is really a lesson in patience, phew.
