Longer adjudicating process
Beginning of March, all spouses of LPR with approved i130 will be eligible to file their 485/131/765 petition (knowing that the F2A date has been moved from 1 Nov 2016 to Apr 2017). This means adding a huge workload to NBC center. I wish NBC has any plan to hire new people for this, otherwise I guess the EAD adjudication process would increase to 6-8 months!!

Concurrent AUGUST Filer--Nothing
08/18/2017: We received your 1-765, 1-130

09/28/2017: We received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status. Our National Benefits Center office is working on your case again.

01/10/2018: your request to correct an error on your document or notice, referral number T1F2441705121MSC, was completed.

02/6/18: SR intiated, never answered.
I have called customer service many, many times and they told me once "the first SR is never answered submit another". Every time I call they tell me something new and different.

Sometime in Feb: Congressman contacted, no answer

2/13/2018: Ombudsman inquiry initated

2/21/2018: Ombudsman reaching out to USCIS

Still No card. What should I expect form here? It has been so long my husband is going crazy from waiting. We are losing out on so many job opportunities. Is anyone else in a similar situation or has used Ombudsman and how long does it take to hear after they reach out to USCIS?
Thank you!

VSC EAD A17 category - first application
Dear all,
since following silently the many stories shared on this forum really gave me hope (and often more info than USCIS), now is my turn to share my experience:

Application received: 10/23/17
First service request: 01/10/18 - in line to be processed
Second service request: 01/24/18 - copy paste from the previous one
Contacted Ombudsman: 01/24/18 - online form
Contacted Congressman: 01/25/18 - online form
Ombudsman contacted me: 01/25/18 - they accepted to do an inquiry on my behalf
Congressman contacted me: 02/07/18 - they called me and since I had a job offer they tried to expedite. The motion has been denied because according to USCIS a job offer does not suffice: you gotta be broke showing you have almost $0 on your bank account and you cannot pay your dues.
Third service request: 02/13/18 - file under review by an officer
Approval notice in mail: 02/20/18
Card in hand: 02/22/18

Online status STILL "Received"

In addition to that, the times I spoke and chatted with USCIS are countless (I do believe they blacklisted me at the end cz I didn't have anymore the option for customer service by phone).

Personal takeaway - Anyway, just to conclude this long and annoying post, I would just like to share my disappointment and frustration towards USCIS whose luck of communication and biblical processing time made me feel so useless, powerless and scared of losing the job I found, during these months of wait. I do not know if they do it on purpose to slow down the immigration flow or not, but for how I felt, after living here for two years and jumping from a visa to another one, I would really like to say that this became "the home of the scared", and next time I hear someone praising "the land of the free, home of the brave" I will just tell him to talk about kim kardashian and tacos which are far more current.

Good luck to all of you still waiting and keep calling and annoying them: make'em earn those salaries!

L2 EAD VSC Renewal
Since I've been a regular visitor to this forum and thanks to the USCIS, lot of anxiety and frustration to pass around, I would post so that folks might get some idea on their situation..

My wife applied for a L2 renewal (A18) category with following dates (she sent everything they asked for incl. the stub for the renewal)

Recd@Vermont Service Center 9/13/2017
Raised two SRs @75 and 90 days respectively and got canned response and letters in the mail (did not contact ombudsman, congressman etc.)
Approval notice in the mail on 2/20/2018 with an approval date of 2/15/2018
EAD card arrived 2/22/2018 (after ~160 days)

For what its worth, the status online still says application recd. 9/13.

So stay strong and be patient and I think the old 90 day EAD card commitment is now 180 days..
