March 2011 Filers

has any March Filer recieved their EAD or even an email saying their card has gone into productiion? and also has anyone recieved IL? i did my walk in FP on April 14 and i still have not heard anything.
 
Hi guys,

A little update for my case.
EAD card received May 6 th ( on my B-day :)))
I have to admit that that was the best tangible present :)
It is valid for one year. on the top it says EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION CARD and on the bottom
Serves as I-512 Advance PArole so I guess I can travel on this card right???
No interview scheduled yet, but I guess there is a long line for that.
Anyway guys be patient I am sure everyone will see a progress soon.


ASC Washington, DC
DO: Alexandria, VA
03/03 Applications I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765 send to Chicago
03/10 Email notification of received applications stated that they received all documentation on march 6
03/10 checks cashed
03/17 NOA1 for all 4 forms
03/18 Status online for all 4 notifications initial review
03/25 Appointment notice for biometrics received in the mail (scheduled for 04/18)
04/07 Awesome walk in biometrics done. Alexandria, VA
04/27 email from USCIS about my EAD card production and Post-Decision for I-131 Travel Document
05/06 EAD card received in mail
 
Some updates on my case: I called USCIS today and was told they received my package and some notifications were sent out at the end of last week.
 
@sexybaby..I have not received anything since the biometrics. Hoping to hear something this week.
 
@Anet...congrats and happy belated bday to you! My son's Travel Document came today but I haven't received anything on my EAD card as yet. Since his Advance Parole was approved and received I take it mine will be here soon. I am assuming the erason I haven't received mine is because of the EAD which may take a bit longer. I am hoping this week for sure. The IL will probably be the longest wait for us in this area.
 
31 days and nothing yet guys! DO you really think it will be sent back the 4th time? I'm calling the bank to see if the check was cashed.
 
Hello!

I'm sorry that I'm "jumping into" your thread, but I was hoping that somebody could answer my question. I've tried to ask this question on April 2011 Filers, but nobody answered, so I'm hoping for more luck here. Please, help me guys. I will really appreciate that!
So, to make my story short - my husband is going to have his interview for citizenship on May 19. We are hoping that soon after that he'll get his naturalization certificate (I've heard that it's taking not longer than a week to have oath ceremony where we live, but we'll see). I'm currently on F1 visa and of course I would like to send my papers for green card as soon as I can. My question for you is - do we have to include a copy of my husband's passport with I-130 form? Obviously, he doesn't have his American passport yet and I know it will take a long time to wait for his passport. I spoke with 2 people who got their green cards sometime in the past and they said that we don't have to send copy of a passport and that naturalization certificate is enough. In the instructions for I-130 I'm getting different information (or maybe I'm not getting it correctly). Can you, please, help me with this one? Thank you in advance and I'm really hoping for the answer!

Yes, your friends are correct - the naturalization certificate should be sufficient to prove citizenship. You don't have to include every document mentioned in the I-130 instructions. Any one document which proves it will suffice.
Good luck!

Thank you so much for your answer! I just wanted to make sure, since my friends got their green cards couple years ago and I thought that things might change. So I decided to ask here, because you guys have the most current information and experience about the whole process.
Thanks again and good luck to everyone!!!
 
Update:
Got an RFE (not Good). Its regarding my birth certificate (not good at all)...:(. I submitted a certificate from a revenue officer in my country verifying my date of birth through my school records. However I am guessing USCIS wont accept that they might need a non-availability certificate. However it will take a while and lot of work to get it from my country. I am too stressed out after getting this. I am from India and I need to talk to my parents regarding this and see how it goes...
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

Hey maverick,

I am from India too, my birth certificate had a problem, my name was spelled the Indian way as opposed to how I had been spelling it all my life.

The BC officer said they could not do anything abt it back in India so I went to the Indian Embassy in Houston and they issued a letter (sort of a BC) stating my details & my parents names and I submitted that and I did not receive any RFE's regarding that so far.

I suggest you try that....worked for me.

All the best pal!
 
UPDATE: EAD RECEIVED TODAY WITHOUT A NOTIFICATION THAT IT WAS IN PRODUCTION...i am not complaining..only including this to help any one else who may be curious about the notification part.
 
Hey Andypual,

A quick update, I got my IL today in the mail :D

16 days from when I got my EAD...not bad!!!!

All the best to you for your next step buddy, very close to this being the last thing we will do as far as this long awesome journey goes....
 
I'm an outsider...but this forum helped me a lot.

From my experience... if you submitted I-131 and I-765 your case will be dragging like a snail.

3/21/11 AOS sent in Chicago I-485, I-130
3/23/11 AOS Received and got a text msg...all checks cashed
4/02/11 Bio letter
4/19/11 Bio done
5/2/11 IL for 6/7/11

thanks for the update...i have been checking the status online and it still shows the same thing...but with you getting yours, i hope mine should be here any minute as our timeline seems to be very similar, actually i am like a week after you in regards to timeline. you should get your IL soon. congrats on the EAD one more time
 
@Noella:
Can you provide me a little more details of how you approached the consulate. Cause right now I work in TN but I am from Houston and my wife is in Houston. I sent her all the copies. Can she go to the embassy and get a letter like BC or I need to be there and originals are required. How long this will take and does she need to make an appoinment? Please give a detailed description.

Thanks
