Hi Patty, and Juno

Thanks again for your kind words.

England had a nice guy against Sweden. I think Sweden may knock Germany out of the World cup. But Germany are very strong I think they could be in the Final this year. The Germany people are getting behind the team. The germans look unstoppable at the moment.

NO LUD. Not a sausage. I didnt have an update since 18th of May. I was getting very stressed out!! The update never happened. Just the status change and the three emails. It didnt change till after 6 or 7pm. Because I checked online around that time and no joy. Then I checked later at midnite and there it was!!! :D :D :eek: :D

I will keep you guys informed!!!

Can I start working prior to my card coming????

Little Britain, I have an employer who wants to hire me since March. I do specialist work (Strength and conditioning) working with elite athletes (pro)

I got an email asking can I legally start to work for them before the card turns up? Any advice.....

Little Britain :confused:


P.S. thats odd I just got a new LUD today for 21st June for the I765. Thats strange!!!
 
hi lil birt!
congrats! let me get this straight...so in other words you got your ead approved email after 17 days from the day the uscis received your RFE and emailed you sayin that (they got rfe request and they will send you the decision by mail blah blah ....????)..???
if soo then that was fast..congrats again.
 
Yes

I never thought of it like that!!

Yes that is correct. If you minus the days of the RFE from my case I got approved in under 60 days. Which leads me to believe RFE doesnt affect things! If you reply immediately.

Thanks for the congrats.

Does anyone know if I can start working legally prior to getting the card my employer is keen for me to start???

Thanks everyone :D
 
Strictly speaking, you need to show the EAD card no later than on your third day (I think) of work. So you could start working on monday if you knew that your card would arrive on wednesday. If the card does not arrive, then they would have to terminate your employment on the third day. I guess it is really up to the employer if they want to let you keep working, but they could get in trouble if they do not follow the rules.
 
LUD i485 again today :0 woowoo.
I get warm just thinking they are touching our papers ;)
It's all so, comforting hehe.

Who let the snails out.. woot woot :)
 
Hi someitguy,
I wonder why so many LUD,looks like ur going to receive an interview letter soon(just a guess).
juno
 
I hope you're a good guesser ! :D

Do they sometimes skip over the AP/EAD and go right to an interview?

More good news

Hi there

Little Britain here,

I got another 3 emails from USCIS this morning.... I've figured their system is on West coast timing. My uscis website says the same:

The emails said "This case has been approved. On June 23, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address".

Does this mean my EAD was posted today? Could someone who knows let me know

Thanks guys,

Thanks for replying

hi there Patty,

I knew someone would come good and reply.

It is the I-765. I hope I get the card early next week. If you were in DC I would buy you a drink. You and Juno have been very helpful!!

Do you know why I havent recieved an interview letter? I reckon I wont get interviewd. Juno is in the same position.... who knows.

Thanks again!!!
 
Haha, yeah. Wish I needn't go to an interview. I would buy the whole forum a drink! :D

Speaking of which, don't you miss your good English/Irish beer, lil Brit? I used to live in Bristol once. Man, I could do with a pint of Bass or Kilkenny... :D :D
 
Little Britain, what is the LUD on your I-485? I had updates on 6/19 and 6/21, just like someitguy, so I am hoping that it means we will both get interview letters soon. Of course, approval without interview would be even better :D but I would not count on it. Check the timelines of others in your area to see if they had to wait a long time for the interview letter. Very few seem to be approved without an interview. The lack of interview letter could mean you are an exception, but it could also mean your DO is slow.
 
yeah

The american beer isnt as good as the European stuff.

I do like the Canadian beer though!!
I'm from Newcastle. Where they make Brown Ale. Thats proper beer pet :)

Keep checkin your uscis you will get the approval email in the next day or 2.

Also they work on saturdays. I had 2updates on wkends.

Good luck and hang on. I think I have been very lucky to be honest. I feel like I have jumped the Queue

lol :D that's so funny! The British just looooove their queues!! :D :D

I think that because our RFEs are different and we responded differently, it mixes up the queue a little. I hope the differences won't be too big, but I guess I won't know until I get my approval email!
:)
 
There is some really good American beer---just not from the big breweries. American beer gets a bad rep because of Budwiser, Miller, Coors, and other big breweries, but you can get some excellent beer if you know where to look. Microbreweries often have very interesting selections.
