Did you pay fees for the EAD? I sent my green card application alongside the EAD, but did not pay for the EAD since my green card will be pending. Thanks
 
I applied for my green card on May and on July says fingerprints were taken till now nothing happened:/ Nebraska office so basically I am waiting for almost 5 months... i know it may take up to one year or so since the virus came everything now is super slow it used to be slow so imagine now how slow it will be :)

On the website it says about 8 months. So you may have to wait for another 3 months or so.
 
Does anyone know if Nebraska center requests finger prints or they are still applying those they have already?

U sure u signed applications, provided photos, had all documents in place and attached a cover letter? Did u separate out each application with tabs or paper? I am worried they may return ur file or something

I sure included everything. Why do you need a cover letter? The total filing fee is $1225, correct? Cuz most reason for rejection is wrong filing fees. Each application was separate. That shouldn't be a problem.

In the filing tips published by USCIS they recommend adding a cover letter, that u state what are u sending, application type, criteria, documents attached...etc I used to work at a law firm and we always did that, on bigger applications we separate them and add sticky tabs referencing documents, separate large documents into exhibits...etc, sometimes they get really picky, they once sent back an application because we didn’t divide documents in groups, and all we did is add pink papers in the middle as separators then they accepted the application. They have a mind of their own so I always go the the extreme carefulness approach to save myself any headaches

Oh wow sounds like a great idea. I did separate all the applications. I think a cover letter would have been great, to make their work easier. I never thought about it. I hope something happens this week. Thanks for all the information. From now on, I will always add a cover letter.

Did you get your green card yet? how long was the total wait ?
 
03/30/20 - I-485 package mailed.
04/03/20 - USCIS charged Credit Card for $1,225.
04/10/20 - Received 797s for I-485, I-765, & I-131.
04/10/20 - I-765 updated online to reflect fingerprints were applied to the case.
04/17/20 - I-485 updated online to reflect fingerprints were applied to the case.
04/23/20 - Received letter indicating fp were applied to both I-485 & I-765 and therefore a biometrics appointment wasn't necessary.
05/22/20 - I-693 Medical Exam was delivered to USCIS Nebraska without RFE.
06/02/20 - Received text/email notification I-765 has been denied.
06/04/20 - Received letter from USCIS denying I-765.
10/03/20 - I-131 updated online to reflect fingerprints were applied to the case. (Only received email notification, no text).

Finally some movement. I had completely forgotten I never received notification about the fingerprints being applied to the RTD application like they were to the GC and EAD applications. My guess is the initial processing officer forgot to dot it. ???? Either way, I'm hoping this means someone finally picked up my case to work on the GC application and noticed the I-131 was still pending and outside normal processing time for a travel document request. Fingers crossed.

Usually most GC cases based on asylum are processed in under a year unless you have bad criminal history or there's something very off with your identity and they can't verify it or run a full background check.
