EAD (WorkPermit)

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I received a letter stating that my case in under review and that I should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly. They responded to my service request on March 3rd, which is kinda odd because it was on Saturday. But I'm grateful they responded anyway.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back from them?

On March 8, 2018, we denied your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, Receipt Number Yxxxxxxx. We mailed you a decision notice that explains why we denied your case and your options. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your denial notice by March 23, 2018, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. is there any other way to reopen the case.

Hi guys,

I want to share my journey with you guys

Hello Peace-Keepers,

Service Center: MSC/NBS

I have been silently and patiently watching this form for a few months now. I was hoping to keep silent until I get good news and share me experience with everyone. Alas, the unexpected has occurred.

I will keep the little details out this post, as I am in the midst of freaking-out phase, and I will come back to share the final experience when it is completed...

After waiting for 130 days, and as I was randomly checking all my cases statuses, I saw an update on my I-485 application! It said

"On March 6, 2018, we mailed a request for initial evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC189015 YYYY . The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires....etc"

I freaked out, and I am still freaking out, as I am not sure what it is for and whether or not it will affect my I-765. So I have a few concerns:

1) I know that I did not send my medical examination, because it mentioned on the USCIS website it is not required to be filled right away.. etc. Do you think this RFIE might be for the medical examination?
2) If so, does this affect the processing of my I-765?
3) In any case, would this RFIE reset the clock on my I-765?

Thank you for making it this far, I greatly appreciate it! Any help is good and appreciated!

Last Friday I got an email from USCIS saying my case was under review and I should expect a decision or other action shortly. I was thrilled about the email and had a good weekend because I saw many people had their status changed after they received such response from USCIS, however, until now I've heard nothing further and my online case status remains the same, no exciting mail coming in either. I start to lose hope again and called customer service this afternoon, and of course there is no decision made yet and they pretty much told me whatever I can see on my online profile.

I'd like to know if any similar experience do you guys have and how much longer I will have to wait. I had a trip planned at the end of this month going back to my country, and a combo card is in need. Please help. Thanks

Two days after my card was being produced , ombudsman sent me an email to let me know that uscis took a decision about my case. They needs my feedback.
So, ombudsman is really hepfull guys!
Thanks ombudsman!

My happy day is here. This forum gave me hope and kept me going in my hard times so here is my timeline

Case received on 5th October 2017
6 SR's and 3 calls to USCIS customer care were utterly useless.
Contacted ombudsman of 24th Feb 2017
Contacted senator and congressman on 24th Feb 2017
7th March 2017 got a reply from senator as well as ombusdman that they inquired and recommended my case and I should receive a decision in 10 days.
8th march -> new card being produced.

My suggestion is don't keep waiting, do your best to get in contact with senators of your state and congressman of your area. Contact ombudsman and keep following up with everyone.

I hope you all get your card soon.

So I got this in response to contacting the ombudsman...what does it mean by "under active review"?

In response to our inquiry, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) indicated that your case is under active review. However, USCIS is unable to provide a specific timeframe for resolution of the case.

Does it mean the officer is looking at it?

Hello Everyone,
I just recently joined this discussion forum after reading everyone's experiences with hope to get some help
I am looking to get some suggestions to contact USCIS as its been almost 140 days and have not received any responses on SRs and no Case updates online.

Anyone in same boat and tried anything to contact USCIS please share your actions and outcomes
The wait everyday seems endless
My Timeline
AOS married to LPR
Priority Date: July 2016
PD: OCT 19/17 for I765 (C09) and I-131
PD: OCT 30/17 for I485 AOS
Biometrics completed: Nov 22/17 and 12/17
Raised 1 SR online: January/2018 No Response
Called Customer Service and they raised 2nd SR No Response in Feb 2018
Raised another SR online: March 2018 No Response

Case Status: Not Changed after receiving case and currently it is not assigned for processing.

I contacted my lawyer and they just mentioned that contacting Ombudsman is of no use as your application is within timeframe of processing as NBC is currently processing Before and October 1st 2017 applications.
I am not sure if I should go ahead and contact Ombudsman as I am concerned if it will push my application in pending requests queue further delaying the process.

Thanks
