Hi All,

Anybody heard anything else - I am obsessively checking online! I couldn't do the walk-in, but I get to do the biometrics on Monday, June 20th. How long after your biometrics did any of you see any action either online or via the mail. And generally how long before you heard about the date of the interview? My husband wants to go to Brazil in September, but there is no way I will leave the country (even with Advanced Parole), just too freaked out about all the stories I heard - about people not being allowed back in. I think that might be a trip he will have to take alone - would that be a problem for the immigration officers? Also, I was curious about the I-130 when/how do you hear if that was approved?

Also I forgot my I-693 Medical form on the package...I want to send it but customer rep wants me to wait for the notice...Its currently on NVC...Any suggestions...

Just received an email notification saying that my interview date is set for 07/20. I haven't received any updates on EAD or AP though. I was under the impression that I would hear about EAD/AP before the interview
 
@forjose: did your USCIS online case status got updated as well regarding receiving your interview letter? congratulations, btw!
 
Yes, the online status is updated to "Testing and Interview" stage. The email just says the date of the interview. I guess I'll have to wait for the actual letter in mail to see the time and other info.

wow frjose congrats!! I did my biometrics yesterday...didnt try to do a walk in bc its too far from where I live....by then received a RFE for current tax return papers which i had already sent but oh well I'll be sending that this week....
 
thanks! and hope you get the RFE taken care of soon. I have one month for the interview, but every single day feels like a whole month with all the wait and the anxiety!

looks like a majority of the folks get their EADs around the 50-60 day mark whether or not they did walk-in biometrics earlier...going by that time frame, you should hear soon about EAD polar :)

ugh...i want my EAD already!!! come on!!! :p
 
I sent out my application and USCIS got it on may 10th,2011 (I-765, I-130, I-485, g28 and etc..)
completed biometrics on june 8th, 2011 and now i'm still waiting for a response...

How long do i have to wait for an interview and the working CARD???
 
Hey All,

Good start to my weekend!!! I got this notice on the USCIS website, still waiting for the letter: "On June 24, 2011, we mailed you an appointment notice for an interview for July 27, 2011, at NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER. Please follow the instructions on the notice."

No info on EAD yet though - is this normal? To hear about interview before EAD?

Also, Chicago777 did you have your interview yet? Details please :) How did it go? Where was it? I am also from Chicago.
