July 30th case status changed from case received to RFE sent
August 2nd fingerprint done
August 9th fingerprint review completed
RFE sent sometime in September (affidavit was signed at the part so they sent for a new one)
No more updates until
October 24th interview date has been scheduled and will mail notice. (Even tho there was no update on EAD)
October 25th card was being produced ( thanked the lord so many times)

EAD wait time
Hi guys, I just wanted to see how is everyone is able to request an expedited process if your case is still in the normal processing time? 4-6 months based on NBC.
My PD is july 2nd.
Biometrics done August 1st
Since then nothing. My case has been at "fingerprint review was completed". I am literally losing my mind waiting for my EAD. I called USCIS several times but the answer I got was basically the same as online. The lady told me I can go online and request an expedite service if I want but when i do the only option to pick from is "case outside normal processing time" which I am worried mine is not and will get rejected.
I did contact my congressman and asked them to request an expedite last week and still waiting to hear.

Any input is appreciated.

After 6 months EAD approved
Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my timeline for people who are in the same situation or are going to be in this situation. After 6 months, I finally have my card being produced.

I received an RFIE ( initial ) after 4,5 months of filling so very late in the process.

I tried to expedite 2 times but dit not work because of the RFIE. And try to reach 2 senators but no help!

Filling I-765, i-131 , i-485 , AOS from k1 visa
PD 02 May 2018
Fingerprint appointment : 06/04/18
Fingerprint review : 06/25/18
RFIE : 09/19/18
RFIE received in mail : 09/22/18
Response to RFIE received by USCIS : 09/27/18
Case is ready to be schedule an interview : 10/15/18
Interview scheduled for AOS : 10/22/18
Interview notice for AOS received by mail: 10/26/18
New car being produced EAD : 10/29/18
And now I am waiting to have my GC by the end of November.

I just want to clarify some points :

1- when you receive an RFIE 4 months or so after filing don’t panick, it will NOT reset your clock!! I was afraid because I read that somewhere. For me it just took an extra month and everything went smoothly.

2. When USCIS received your response to RFIE they have 60 days to make a decision and issued your EAD Generally it took 1 month. Again this 60 days notice is only if you received an RFIE late in the process.

3. Don’t try to expedite when you have an RFiE pending it will not get through. Just wait at least an update on your I-485 : case is ready to be scheduled.

I can finally breathe again and look for job thanks my guardian angel 🙌🏽🙏🏽

This forum helped me a lot and I wanted to say keep sharing your timeline even if you got your card, I kept hope based on your experiences, sothank you !

 I know how frustrating and overwhelming this proceeds is , so best of luck to everyone!

If you have questions don’t hesitate I’ll be happy to help.

New Card Is Being Produced!
Hi,
I just got a new update.
married to USC
pd: 7/16/2018
07/31/2018: Biometric appointment
08/02/2018 : received RFE
08/08/2018 : we received your response and your case is no more on hold
08/15/2018 : case is ready to be scheduled for an inteview.
10/26/2018: Called USCIS costumer service. I asked the lady if there is any way to make the EAD process faster.. She said that i can expedite it if I have an emergency or job offer or financial loss. I told her that my wife is a full time student and she’s not making enough money and that i really need to work.
she said that she requested an expedite and that they will send me an email within a week to send them proof of financial loss.
This morning, 10/29/2018, my status changed to New Card Is Being Produced and i received an email after says: Your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, was approved on 10/29/2018. Your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and approval notice will be mailed to the address on file
 I didn’t send any evidence and i didn’t even receive an email from uscis that asks for proof!
By the way, how long it takes to receive the EAD and the SSN please?
if you guys have any question, please feel free to ask!
and for those who are waiting for EAD, just call them and request for expedite event if you don’t have proof because sometimes it works!

Any early July filer already with EAD approved?
Hello guys! I have been a silent reader until now. Filed for AOS, C09 based, to NBC.

PD: July 5th
FP review completed: 8/9/2018 (last update)

No news until now... Please, is there any other filer from early July that has been already updated to "New Card is being Produced?". Because it looks that many late June filers have been updated recently. Another question: is it relevant if there is still no update to "Interview ready to be scheduled" in order have the i-765 approved in the regular time? Thank you!
