Congrats Kadidja........around 5-7 business days since 'Card has been Ordered' status.

We have no update on our EAD application yet. I also filed our application on the say day as you, Aug 1....and our interview is scheduled for next friday, Oct 7th.......Am certain, even if approved today or tomorrow, we won't receive the EAD card until after our interview.

Thank you falcyon for taking time to give people advices and reassuring them. I wish you and your family all the best for the interview and for the future.

The reason that there is a delay with the EAD card I think it's because you had a walk in for the fingerprints, you have gained couple of days for the interview but on the regular timing as the august filers for the rest. You will probably have a good news in a day or two even if you will not physically have the card on the interview day, it will be approved.
My uscis case update was on initial review and the next day jumped to card being processed.
thank u
 
You're right kadidja.....just received email that

My father's case is still not entered in USCIS's database. It is interesting that my mother's case number is higher, and her case showed up online. I also checked a few case either immediately before or after my father's case and none showed up online. I guess the situation is not unique for his case.

My parent's non immigration visa is due to expire on 10/27. I wonder shall I apply for I-539 (extension of non immigration status) for them. I still haven't receive biometric notice for either of them yet, and it's less likely their case will be approved before 10/27. I heard about the grace period from USCIS that allows an applicant to be out of status whiling waiting for I-485 approval. Any advice onI -539 application? Thanks


August 10, 2011 Applications for parents sent to Chicago lockbox
August 12, 2011 UPS packages delivered
August 24, Checks cashed
August 28, NOA received. Mom's case shows up online, however dad's case can't be located online.

If it is a visitor's visa they will most likely deny the extension due to the pending i-485, so no you don't have to apply for an extension. If you want you can call but when I received my NOA's for my documents, all of them appeared online except for the i-130, it was never found in the system and I have my greencard already, so I wouldn't worry about it, if you receive nothing for your father before 10/27, like biometrics appt, or the checks being cashed for his petition, then I would call and inquire about it.
 
Hey guys, this is a belated entry by me but better late than never I guess. I have filed for my wife recently and here are the timelines. I will update here as and when anything new happens. Good luck to all for your applications.

July 28th - Package recieved by USCIS
Aug 15 - NOA text message recieved
Aug 17 - Recieved returned check, rejection letter(because I had overpaid, sending check for EAD when I didn't need to)
Aug 19th - Recieved NOAs in the mail, wife calmed down :)
Sep 2nd - Recieved biometrics appointment for Sep 26th
Sep 12th - Successful walk in for biometrics.

Just checked the case status online and saw that EAD card production is ordered. An important milestone crossed, now waiting for GC interview letter!
