July & August Tracker!!!!!!With no reciept yet

Well guys, this is the reason I will be going into business for myself when this is settled with USCIS. I am very good at getting to the right person on the phone and getting my way about 87% of the time, I will even break out in tears (LOL). Maybe is my American Accent I was forced to get in eight grade, who knows. I was able to talk my way in with an actual IO. He was very nice to me. I updated all my info once again and even my attorney's info, my husband's I-130 which the other customer service people would not let me do. My attorney was supposed to do this back on September 5 and to date have not done it. I also asked about my EAD and he said in about 5 days I should receive something it (I'll wait to see that one first). He also verified my e-mail so they can send confirmation to the update we discussed. I thanked him for his time and told him my attorney needed to pay me for work done today. He chuckled and said yes, since you seem to be doing his job. I hope I receive an e-mail in the next few days.


Good for you Trinigirl... you sound like a real go-getter. You should just fire ur lawyer and sue him in small claims court to get ur money back.
We were going back n forth and finally filed ourselves. When we got an RFE we thought we made a bad choice but after reading these forums, its probably better to trust ourselves than go with lawyers...
Anyhoo... good luck!
 
My spouse took FP yesterday, then there is an email update
saying EAD/AP are approved. Does this mean the FP is fine
and no worry about second FP?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I believe so. Enjoy the card!:)
BTW, is this a family based application?If so the response time is just amazing.
 
Ok guys the only LUD that I see on my portforlio is for my fp date which I have already done. Before then I couldnt check my status. Is it normal that i havent seen any lud since my fp?
 
Just to let you guys who have RFE know, do not despair. The RFE letter always says apparently that you will have to wait 90 days after they receive it to get EAD. But its not always true.

Check my timeline for details.

Today I got the EAD approval notice, so I think I should get the EAD in mail by Friday at the latest, but I think I should get it Thursday.
 
heyy guys I went to the USCIS website to check my I765 Receipt # and it showed CARD PRODUCTION ORDERED..I AM SO HAPPY, but i didnt get an email and i signed up to get updates through email so my advice is to check thorugh the uscis website and not to wait for an email!!
 
Hi guys, I am applying also by myself since I had very bad experience with the lawyer before. It took my lawyer 6 months from hiring and paying her before she aplied for me with USCIS. All that time they were lying to us that they had already mailed everything to uscis and are waiting for their response. She let my visa expire with this action. Then when I saw my aplications I found there many big mistakes. She did not know what she was doing at all. I think I would do it much better on my own. And only time when we could see her or talk to her was the first time when we had paid to her! From that time she was always unavailable for us. And ofcourse my all aplications were denied and because of that I have been "out of status" scared of deportation till now. I tried to report her to the State Bar of Texas. I did not win but at least made her worry and do something. B.tch! I am sorry for that word. I would never hire a lawyer for filing applications again. You can get great information from forums like this!
Thanks to everyone! Good luck!

Wow...sorry to hear that....it sucks but i seems like a lot of people are dissapointed with their lawyers...they don't do s#%&T!!!!!!but the money is huge...I had lawyer at the beginnig too -it was my real state lawyer's lawyer he knew...he thought he was good so he hooked me up...well...I am thinking he knows more than me right?so I have to trust him...BS!!!the very first thing he did what i didn't like -he made me wait like a month after we got married to file my pappers....so the USCIC don't think we are so sure about it????what????????I am sure and i should be....i was like ok but i am loosing my time now...I wanna go home I'm thinking!
then I knew we have to file all the forms together...he said we have to send just two of them i think I-485 and g-325A and then they are gonna let us know what else they need...I am thinking this is gonna take forever!!!!!!!!and he send them to wrong address....dear lord!!
I was so mad at him-didn't pay him anything and did my staff on myown...I am not gonna pay somebody to ruin my life!!!!!!!!!

sorry it's so long but I makes me so mad when I see how they(lawyers) treat people!

stay focus and don't let anybody mess with you future!!!!!I am so hgappy I found this forum so we can all be smarter:)

Congrtz for eceryone with EAD...:)
 
FP done...

Today I completed my biometric fingerprint appointment. Process went very smooth and from what I have read from this forum, I was looking for such things as the score, any alerts, etc. I asked the technician about the significance of the score and she replied that it was a measure of how well the imprint was taken. Then I asked what was a good score and she replied normally there is no definite rule to that even though the higher the score the better the imprints but generally they wanna see the indicator show green which tells them that the imprint was successfully taken.
However most of my scores were from high seventies to mid eighties. She had to repeat the one for my right thumb when she had a score of sixty-eight. The repeat then showed seventy-eight and she accepted that. Then took my photograph, asked me to look at it and see if i liked it or not.
The photograph was so good everyone was asking me if they could make copies so they could paste on their walls - they thought I was a super star..(lol..just kidding...actually not)
 
I got CRIS email on 10/16/07 I-765 Card production ordered
and on 10/20/07 I-765 Approval notice sent

So far haven’t received card. Today I picked mail and surprise surprise my wife’s EAD was in it. No CRIS emails and online status is 10/20/2007, I-765 Approval notice sent. Her card also says No finger print available.

Wait a minute.. Are you through I-140 or I-130.... B/C I know for I-130 you need FP to get your EAD.... Only applicants for I-140 get their EAD w/o FP....
 
IRS transcripts a requirement?

Do you guys know anything about copies of tax statements not being accepted anymore and a new REQUIREMENT being to submit transcripts from IRS to show sponser income?
We sent copies of last 3 years and got an RFE for supporting documents(W2,1099 etc) which we responded to... do we also need to request and send an IRS transcript?

We also sent joint property ,shared CCs and other bank statements.

Any information \experiences you can share on this will be aprpeciated.

Thanks.
 
I don't know the answer but when we sent in all our forms we also included the transcripts when we did it. It only takes a couple days to get the transcripts once you request them, so maybe it would be a good thing to have.
 
Please Update ...EAD card Production Ordered

I completed my biometrics today and wasn't expecting to see any updates until tomorrow or Monday but to my surprise I saw an LUD late at night. I had been checking through the day and when I didn't see any updates by close of business day, I wasn't disappointed but was hoping it will be there tomorrow. Surprisingly, I decided to check again before going to bed and alas, there was the LUD stating the card (EAD) production had been ordered on October 25. I was so happy. Now I can begin to get my life together in this country.
Another interesting thing was that my I-485 receipt number which never worked on the online status check, worked tonight and there was an LUD for it too. I remember a customer support agent had told me that the number should start working after my FP - I guess she was right. I just wanted to let those people who still have their receipt numbers showing up as invalid to take a cue from my experience.
Finally, to the rest of the people waiting for their EADs, APs, etc I pray that the wind of good tidings bring forth some good news for you people. For those who believe in God, I remember you in my prayers and for those who don't I remember you in my thoughts. I look forward to hearing some good news from all of you...
