May 2011 Filers

Thanks asj234! No, I was actually referring to eerobert about the same date (May 5th)...I think I accidentally entered the same reply a million times!
 
Well congrats regardless. I sent mine on the 20th so hopefully mine should be getting along soon and hope that rfe didnt slow me down that much...
 
Update: no interview, no EAD. From what I was told an RFE will slow down your I-485, but not your I-765. I have seen plenty of cases where people were still able to get their EAD within 2-2.5 months of them applying, despite having an RFE for their I-485.
 
I filed my forms (I-485, I-130, I-131, and I-765) in May as well and none of the applications have made it past the 'initial review' phase. Seems like most of the people on the thread have heard at least something back. The longer this takes the more frustrated I am getting.

Of all the things submitted I really need the EAD card to be processed as soon as as possible. I have a job offer and was supposed to start this Monday, but seems like that will not happen. I contacted the Service Center last week to expedite my I-765 application and they took the request and told me to expect a call from my local office (Missouri) this week. I have not heard anything back and had to call them numerous times again and they still didn't have an answer. The last person that I talked to said that it was strange that they have not contacted me yet and submitted another request to expedite and told me to expect a call by Wednesday next week.

Is anybody else having the same problem? Or am I a special case here?

Any and all guidance will help.

I think getting a count of people that have filed in the month of May and have heard something back from USCIS will help this thread.

People that have heard back from USCIS, can you please let us know where your case stands and what you have heard from USCIS. This will help us people who have not heard anything and are left in complete darkness.
 
Damn

Lildgt190 I send mine on 11th May did my bio on 8th June nothing as yet too I think you should give it more two weeks which seems approx from other post

7/10/11

Hello everyone, any news yet? For those who have applied between 5/3/2011 - 5/15/2011, have you heard anything back concerning your EAD??

Good luck to everyone. Praying for good news today!
 
No EAD - I just called and they say 75 days ... today is 55 days - so 20 more days - but my interview is 15 days from today .... i think about it a lot - anybody know if it is true that early in the morning appointments are better, because they have less time to interrogate you? Anybody else have an interview scheduled in Chicago on July 27th?

Here is my timeline:
5/17/11 - Sent Package
5/18/11 - Received Package
5/24/11 - Received e-mail notification for I-485, I-130, I-765
5/24/11 - Checks cashed
5/25/11 - Last activity on account based on online tool
5/28/11 - Biometrics appointment letter (for 6/20/11)
6/20/11 - Biometrics Done (they were very nice)
6/24/11 - Text indicating Activity online (at 7:30 am) in morning - I jumped up so fast to get to the computer!
6/24/11 - Notice stating that interview will be on July 27 - no EAD action though
 
I applied on May 20th and I have nothing so far and it looks like I'll be waiting awhile if the early May filers have not received any EAD notifications yet....sigh....

They will interrogate you until they are able to make a decision. Time of the day is irrelevant.

Well if you ace the interview, you might never need that EAD :). You got your work cut out for you.

Congrats Polar!! I applied 5/5/2011 and it was received on 5/6/2011 so Im hoping mine is approved this week as well! You have certainly given me hope tho! Looks like they are finally getting around to May..whew!

Questions:

1. What time did they send you the notification?
2. Did they touch your I-765 application before they approved it? If so, when?
3. Did you send in a service request or anything?
