Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed
I had my I-485 interview today. My case was employment-based. The officer was not very friendly and worked very slowly. The interview took about 1 hr and he went over every single questions on the form. Everything was fine but at the end he gave me a white sheet and told me that we cannot approve my case at the spot and further review is necessary. I asked him how long the review takes on average and he said unfortunately he is going for a travel and does not come back until end of July. When I returned home, my case was updated to "Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed".

I wonder if anyone has a similar experience and if yes how long it took for you to get the final approval. Please tell me! I feel really bad and am very low and disappointed.

EAD - New Card Is Being Produced
Hi, everyone.

Finally, it's my time to share my timeline. I have been checking this forum multiple times in a day for the last several months to draw some hope and strength to wait some more for the EAD.

PD: Nov. 16, 2018 (EB2-NIW, semi-concurrent)

RD for I-485, I-765, I-131: Dec. 7, 2018

Service Center for I-485, I-765, I-131: NBC

Bio: Jan. 9, 2019

New Card Is Being Produced: June 20, 2019

For those who have already received their EAD's, what happens next now? Does the online case status give you a tracking number when the card has been mailed? How long did you have to wait to receive the actual card? Thanks a lot!

May God bless us and our families throughout our immigration journeys!

Expedite request through lawyer
Hello,
Has anyone used a lawyer to expedite the EAD?
I see that most people either do it alone or through the congressman/senator but not through lawyers.

Any experience?

Interview done in Chicago Employment
My appointment was at 8am and I only got called in at 1030. I guess there was some sort of confusion as to who was gonna interview me. You can imagine the anxiety during the wait. The IO apologized for the long wait. He approved me at the same spot and gave me some white sheet of paper. He said they have to do some background check but he doesn’t see any issue with my case/.
