Hi Monsoon,

Thanks for the greetings but I wanted to let you know that I have not yet received my EAD..... I saw that in your october update. After the FP, the only thing I have is IL not online updates, no EAD, no AP......
 
Thanks Monsoon, looks like your just days ahead of me. If all goes well, we'll have green cards of the same vintage.

12/15/2009 EAD approved and ordered

navsam7: it looks like we have a very similar timecourse. I also have seen no updates online and received IL prior to EAD, which I only now just have received the approval for. All in all, still a pretty smooth course I would say. Good luck.

Things are going really slow for me.

No change in my status except that the AP application was touched on 12/15.
USCIS told me wait upto 90 days ( Feb 12 , 2010 )and then call back.

USCIS have cashed my I-130 and I-765 Checks but not the I-485, is this bad?

I-130/I-485/I-765 sent on 12/05/2009
Delivery Confirmation 12/07/2009
I-130 cashed check 12/10/2009
I-765 cashed check 12/14/2009

Nothing in the mail yet

Is something wrong here?
 
First of all let me thanks to all of you guys and the administration of this helpful forum that allow us to follow and get prepare in every detail of our immigration process.

I'm thankfully finishing my green card immigration process base on the petition of my wife (US citizen). Below you will see how has been the schedules of the process:

10/20/2009: Mailed package (Day 0)
10/22/2009: Package delivered (Day 2)
10/28/2009: Check cleared (Day 8)
10/31/2009: Receipts in mail (I-130, I-485, I-765) (Day 11)
11/05/2009: Biometrics apt notice (Day 16)
11/23/2009: Biometrics Appointment taken (Day 34)
12/11/2009: Email update (EAD production ordered) (Day 42)
12/11/2009: Interview letter (Day 42)
12/17/2009: 2nd Email update (EAD production ordered) (Day 48)

My wife and I are getting our self ready and all the paper works together for the interview.

We are a little concern because since I arrive to US (2008 with B2 visa) I have been working in the same job without permit.

Our concern is if they ask me if I have been working without permit and all the other questions related to the same topic what we should say and if that could be a problem?

Thanks for your time, I really appreciate your advice.

Tony
 
No luck for me. Its been over a month since my wife did her biometrics.

Only the application for AP is being updated
I-485 last updated on 11/16
I-765 last updated on 11/16
AP last updated on 12/16

Called USCIS. Told to wait till 90th day which is like Feb 12.

At least EAD would have been good for Christmas

Tony, We asked our lawyer the same question since my wife has been working without a permit for several years and we were worried what it would mean for our process and for her employer. He has been doing this for 30 years and said the only problem is if you lie about what you have been doing. If you are honest it does not hurt your application and they do not go after the employer. However if you lie about it and they find out it could be bad for the application.

We went ahead and put her work experience on the application but since we have not had our interview yet I can't tell you how it went. I would be honest about it and if you didn't put the work on your application I would be upfront about it if they ask in the interview. I think USCIS understands that many people work without a permit and they are more concerned with honesty than anything else. Just my opinion - I hope everything goes well.
 
question???

@tonylt: im just wondering if you are working under w2 or 1099 (self employed) i believed we fall under the same category. i am currently on spousal petition and has been working since i got here in the U.S.:D and got my visits expired (I94) my employer is sending my hours to the payroll system so i have no choice but to file taxes. my lawyer said i am not supposed to be working but based on my knowledge once we filed for adjustment of status through marriage everything will be pardoned....:)

Eniweys somebody just correct me if im wrong....

Congratulations, ap51672!
You may be one of those who finished everything within less than 3 months!
Anything to share for your interview?

The interviewer was very nice, but my wife was extremely nervous in answering the questions. We were asked to provide all documentation and were asked the basic questions. After seeing all the proof of paystubs, bank statements, proof of my wife being added to home ownership, etc, the officer told us that the Green Card was approved. The whole interview lasted about 20 to 25 mins.
