December 2009 family based filers, post here

dec09filer, thanks for researching the "2" that I had on my interview notice. I read on another site, that in Baltimore, Stroke cases are generally on a certain floor. Our interview notice doesn't direct us to that floor.

Anyone else have a "2" on their interview notice after the address of the local office?
 
Just curious: Why some are getting IL and not EAD's and some EAD and not IL's.

I believe there is no sequence of approvals other than GC at the last.

Is it true that sometimes EAD is not issued as immigrant has interview date very soon.

Kops,

I wouldnt worry about it Kops. We have EAD's which means we can get drivers license, ssn number and a job. Remember we had RFE"S. While we were getting the notices these guys were having their files transferred to local offices for interview appts. The files have to be inthe local office a certain number of days (19 ish) before the interview so they can examine it. So we are a little behind schedule but the officers were nice enough to get our EADS going. What difference will it make if we get our ILs maybe two-three weeks later than we should have. It lets us read about the interview experiences of those in our batch. As you notice in the november filers practically all of them have done their interviews and are gettin their green cards (even the ones with RFEs)...so its okay dont feel bad. If one of us gets it then the other is on its way. Plus maybe INS pulled some strings and we might get IL this week. Lol. Smile we are the ones that got EADs first so it only serves us right.....

At what point does the file get transfered to the local office... Anybody??
 
Update:

I-131 and I-175 have been touched!!
I got also an email saying that it was ordered the Card production of my EAD!!
I'm praying and waiting for AP. I really need to be able to go back to my country! My grandmother is really sick and I feel very frustrated I can't go see her. She might pass away at any moment and I'm stuck here!! That's very bad!
 
I hope i get my EAD soon

dhlunar, Our notice has "5" under the local office/Interview location address. I guess, it could be location # or so.

lol. that is funny :)
i got 2 notices as well. i think everyone gets them.
I got my ead about 4-5 days after i got the second notice.
From the forum, we figured the first one is where they order the production, and the second notice is when they mail it to you.
You should receive it early next week :):)
 
Personal check not OK?

Hi aaren, I realized you said your application was initially rejected for incorrect payment method. As far as I know, personal checks are a perfectly fine form of payment. Can you clarify what the problem was? Thank you very much for the info.
 
Good for you! I still don't have any response in email or whatever yet....cross my fingers!!

Thanks Naas...that clears the mystery my wise friend:)

I know how some of us are very frustrated with issues such as relatives being sick and financial issues since we cant work without the EAD and then other who are finally seeing the finish line after years....so i was just trying to add humour. Its really funny cause our whole post office (200 employees) knows we are waiting for that interview letter. I know it will probably get to my hubby the second it hits their post office...:D....So it does help to sleep with the mailman...i wouldnt recommend it though if your not married to them:p.

Hope you will get them soon. If you need EAD /AP faster you can call the Customer service and they will collect all the information and then send search quest.
I called them 2 days ago. I was under the impression that they would be sending EAD first and then IL. But now it looks like we will be getting EAD just a week or 10 days before the Interview.
