I-765 delay after RFIE
Hi all,

I am applying concurrently for a marriage based I-485, I-130, I-765 and I-131.

PD 06/01/2016
Biometrics done second week of July.
Request for Initial Evidence on I-485 08/04/2016
Response on RFE Received by USCIS 8/26/2016

My case status for the I-765, I-130 and I-131 still showing up as case received, and case has already been pending for 129 days. On 09/22/2016 I raised a service request, as the case was pending for 113 days, more than the 90 days regulatory limit and just above 90 days if I subtracted from it the 22 days between the date of the RFE request and the date the USCIS received my response.

The response I got from them the next morning was that the case is still within the regulatory time frame, as there was a request for initial evidence on my concurrently filed I-485 form, and that they would process my case within 90 days from the date of response (26 Aug).

I am wondering if anyone is in a similar situation, and if I will really have to wait that long. I am trying to be patient, but I was originally supposed to have started with my prospective employer at the beginning of September, and if I have to wait the full 90 days from the response to RFE date, it will be almost December already.

My case is at the National Benefits Center, and start with MSC.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

i-765, No response from USCIS
Hi All,

I have applied for EAD. I am here on L2 VISA.

My timeline,

>> USCIS Received i-765 on 28th July 2016.
>> USCIS receipt on 1st October 2016.

It has been 70 days now, and still there is no update online beside “received your application”. I have also called USCIS but they said me to wait till 75 days, since application received.

I am here on leave from my office in India and they are ready to offer me a job here. But they are asking for EAD card for any further progress in joining formalities. I need the card before 1st Nov 2016 or else I have return to India and join there.

Can anyone suggest me what to do, so that I can have the EAD.

Thanks.

Do I need to update SSN after receiving EAD/AP?
Hi there,
I obtained my SSN when I was F1. Do I need to update the immigration status with SSA since F1 status is expired?

Thanks a lot

No notification?
Hi guys,
My husband and I sent g-1185 with I485, I130, and I765 to the Chicago Lockbox on Wednesday 09/29.
According to USPS, the package was delivered on Friday 09/23.
Today is Saturday 10/01 and we still haven't received any text or email notification.
Is this normal? Most people seem to receive electronic notification within a couple of days.
We are worried.
Best,
F

Received RFIE on August 18th 2016 " it was about the affidavite of support"
Sent My response on August 23rd 2016
They updated online they received my response on August 26th 2016

On September 12th 2016 my case status changed to case is ready for interview.

I did a SERVICE REQUEST for my EAD after 75 days and they said it is under review and I should hear something shortly.

Until now, my EAD and AP show case was received on July 5th 2016.its almost 90 days

Once again,my local office is Houston.Does that have something to do with my case since Houston office is really slow.
Any Input is appreciated.

OPT for M-1 - Extension
Hello everybody,

I am having a lots of problems with my OPT, my case has been transferred back and forward to same places a few times, I've been waiting for 140 days and I already lots 3 months of my working time and I am starting to loose all my work opportunities.

M-1 has only around 6-5 months to work, loosing all this time it makes me able to work for around 3-2 months, is there a way to extend this time since it is not my fault?

I heard F-1 can extend for around 24 months, is there something we could do as an M-1 student?

Bests all!
