Marriage based green card
I was a silent reader this is my experience. I when for my interview last Wednesday. On the same number that told me that me interview was scheduled ots now saying that new card is processing but I still dont know if its the EAD r the Green card. My question is can you get Green card without EAD?

EAD approved?
Has anyone seen their status of the Employment authorization changed from received to "My fingerprint review was completed" and below it says: "As of July 23, 2019, we completed our review of your fingerprints and are working on your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization"

This was exactly the message I saw when my advance parole (form I-131) was approved. Yes, it was approved separately from the EAD.

Does that mean my EAD was finally approved? Anyone had the same experience?

My timeline: PD December 3rd for all forms except I-765 because it was rejected and I sent a new one which was received on December 19th, 2018.
Biometrics: January 3rd, 2019
Case scheduled for interview: May 31st, 2019.
Expedited over the phone on June 21st. Submitted fax with evidence on June 27th. Did not hear anything back since then regarding expeditious requested.
Form I-131 approved on July 4th (same message as abovementioned)

Let's see if this means EAD was also approved.

Ead
Timeline for my EAD.
Marriage based, NBC center, NYC field office.

PD: 10/31/2018 for I-765, I-131, 1-130, I-485
Biometrics: 11/30/2018
3/14/2019: I-485 “case ready to be scheduled for an interview”

6/27/2019: after 8.5 months of radio silence, went to congress to expedite for job offer. I also raised 2SRs for i765 and I131.

(I went almost everyday to congressional office and made her follow up. Each time we got a different answer. Some officers claimed they have all the documents they need some claimed they never received the required docs for expedition. It was a disaster. One officer said my application was under extended review. One said ead should be any day. )

7/17/2019: “new card being produced” for i765
7/19/2019: received notices for i131 and i765
7/19/2019: “card mailed to me”
7/23/2019: card in hand FINALLY

Btw all this while case status for i131 still says case received.

Bottom line don’t believe anything anyone says. If you are expediting you need to go full force. You are your only chance. Be persistent be annoying do what you need to do do to get it done. Don’t leave it up to anyone. Everyone is overwhelmed and we are just names on a piece of paper. So you have to be very proactive in the process.

Hope this helps. Good luck everyone.

Waiting for my EAD
Hello Everyone,
Firs of all it is so nice to have a place to write/discuss about this. I have been alone and looking for info all over the internet.

I am a spouse of J1 visa holder- which makes me a J2.
I applied for EAD renewal March 28th, and I am still waiting for it to be renewed.
since my card expired on July 5th,2019 I had to quit my job.
The financial loss due to lack of income is really putting me in a difficult situation.

The USCIS website says that they received my application and it is being process.

is there any way I can
1) expedite it?
2) find out the progress of where it is?
3) how long is ok to wait ( it has been 4 months now).

Thank you to all you kind people out there.
