My husband and I were married in August 2002, after which time, I immiediately filed my I-485, EAD, and AP applications. My receipt date is 8/26/02. My AP and EAD were issued in October 2002. I was fingerprinted in the beginning of December and my husband and I were interviewed in Chicago in mid-December. We were told at the end of the interview that our case was approvable, but due to increased security clearance, my passport could not be stamped that day and my case could not be fully processed. Apparently, the INS officers were not able to approve cases after November 20, 2002. I was told this was nationwide. I suspect it has something to do with the creation of the BCIS. Nearly 4 months have passed since then and I can't seem to get any answers from the national line and the local office won't return calls. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing. Best luck to all and thanks!
