Congrats for those who received the EADs and ILs... that's awesome!!
Is there anyone else from this thread (November) applying from New York?
Here's my updated timeline:

Day 0: 11/20/2010: All applications sent by FedEx to USCIS (Chicago)
Day 2: 11/22/2010: All applications received by USCIS
Day 16: 12/06/2010: Receipts issued for applications I-130, I-485, I-765, & I-131
Day 21: 12/11/2010: Notice by mail providing place/date/time biometrics appt 12/23
Day 33: 12/23/2010: Biometrics done
Day 87: 02/15/2011: patiently waiting for case updates

I didn't send form G1145 with the initial packet. But once I found out about case updates, I went to the USCIS.gov site to try and sign up for them, but it's still not recognizing my application numbers. I constantly check it every hour, and it says that my case cannot be found.... Urgh!!
 
RECIVED TODAY THE GREEN CARD IN THE MAIL!!!!!

Good luck everybody iam sure you will be getting yours soon! I hope my updates will be helpfull to you all.:)

GC is really High Tech!

Congrats to everybody. I have a quick question, is it normal to have the interview without receiving the EAD?

Thanks Bluegrass,

I was worried because without the EAD I can't get a driver's license. Without the DL I can open a bank account, or my wife can't add me to her account, no car insurance. I mean there are so many documents I will be missing in my interview is not even funny. Although we can always have the excuse that I wasn't able to get my DL and without it we couldn't do anything!
 
off topic

Hi guys first poster here, although I been reading the forums for a long time and I fall on the November filers Category , just wanted to say that this is by far the best community I seen in a long time, kudos to you all.

On topic
Seems we in the same boat ronnyi, the EAD will probably get to us to close to the interview to really do anything with it, given the fact that my IL arrived at least 3 weeksd before the EAD showed in the USCIS website as in production.
 
CONGRATS to all on the EADs, ILs and most Greencards!

My interview is in less than 2 weeks, and I am so nervous! It's been a long journey.
Can anyone please post their interview experience...especially if you fall in the f2b category. I'd like to know what type of questions to prepare for etc...

Thanks :)
 
Reporting that my mom received her SS number yesterday, exactly one week after applying. She had earlier obtained EAD card which was used to apply SSN. The SS card has "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization" phrase on it.
Now the wait is for interview on March 16th in San Francisco.

Parent of a US citizen case, Applied I-130+I-485+I-754+I-131 October 12th. FP done Jan 24th.

congrats to all

Hi everybody...

its been sometime I replied here. Good luck to LadyM and CSCC...
Well I received my I-797 receipts december 2nd week and my application number does not show any status online... its frustrating. FInally called the number displayed on teh case status page and found that my EAD and AP was approved this week. But I am wondering why I have not received any biometrics letter???? anyways I just need to wait I guess:(

Congrats to the two who received the GCs...:)

Have a good day all..
 
Good luck to Lady M and CCSC having their interview this week!! Try to relax iam sure everything will be just fine!:)..

to Sheeba2877,

honestly that is the first time i heard of someone getting an EAD and AP without fingerprints taken?Unless they have on file yours fingerprints and taken less then an year ago.But..i know for sure Biometrics are MANDATORY before issuing the GC.When you have the Biometrics taken they also make a picture of you to be used both AP and GC...I hope the guy you spoke on the phone was not such an incompetent that just look at the wrong file!!...The online updating has never been correct in my case except for the I-485....my AP and I-130 still shows "Intitial review"..but regarding that. the Biometrics not taken that is something i would look in to more if i was you,maybe calling back again untill you find out for sure,It is YOUR RIGHT!...just my two cents advice.
 
Thanks Guys,

I'm so relaxed. I know stress doesn't help in these times... GOOD LUCK for everbody!
