June Submissions - Concurrent Application (I-130,I-485, I-131, I-765, I-864)

[Glorias]

Hi Guys...

hope someone could answer me. I am confused whether to use I864 EZ or I864... which of these two forms did u use?

also, the form from the uscis website says the forms expired july 2017.. does this date matter?

Pls read i864EZ instructions. There's some conditions you need to meet, and only you yourself know, and it is stated clearly in the instructions.
I think most people just use 864. No harm to use the longer version.

Interview done

Just finished my interview. It went quite smooth. No difficult questions. Mainly Questions from the forms you submitted. I submitted i693 at the interview. The officer didn't open it. I guess he needs to review afterwards. I didn't get approval on the spot. Hopefully there's no need to wait for too long.

The interview appointment is 10:00 but we probably waited until 10:40 to get called.

Questions I can remember:

1. To me: husband's dob, where he work, last job, how long has he been in this job, last job. in-laws names, ages.
2. To him: wife's dob, where she work, last job, when did she come to the US, in-laws names, ages.
3. How we met each other. How did the relationship progress. When did we decide to get married. Have we traveled together and where. And some other questions along the conversation.
4. Joint documents together. Showed pictures etc to the officer.
5. A checklist of yes/no questions for me to answer.

All questions are not tricky, but my husband doesnt remember how long I worked at last job and doesn't know my parents names and ages.. I think it's not a big deal though. It is difficult for him to remember even if he tries to. We didn't prepare anything and we presented to be super honest and not prepared. Lol. But it is what it is. The officer didn't ask for my husband's pay stub and letter from employer as requested on the interview notice, so I didn't voluntarily give it to him. We always prefer to give the minimum sufficient information.

Here's my timeline for reference:

Married to USC
AOS from F1
Base in California
Mail to Chicago lockbox (i130, i485, i765 etc)

5/31/17 mailed out all documents (except 693)

6/23/17 RFIE
7/3/17: Biometrics done
7/05/17: RFIE response mailed (about my birth certificate)
7/11/17: notice about i693 missing, but submission is required upon further instructions or at interview
9/18/17: i485 online status change: interview scheduled on October 19
10/5/17: EAD approved (Also submitted SR this day without any info about the approval)
10/10/17: Received in mail about EAD being approved (no e-notification)
10/12/17: Received EAD card in mail (still no e-notification)
10/17/17: i765 online status change telling me the EAD card has been mailed!! (I have already had EAD)

I-765 changed status from “Case received” to “New card is being produced”

So after ages of waiting my I-765 online status finally changed. I was planning to go to the congressman’s office tomorrow “if” I still don’t hear from them this week and yet they changed the status online TODAY. lol. Having said, should I still go to the congressman’s office or just wait for the actual mail? How accurate is the online status update? Helpppp.

Hi and congrats! My case changed for 765 to "card being produced" as well. Does anyone have info on how long to expect card in mail after the status changes online?

My status did not change after I got my card. First I got the approval receipts I believe it was Monday. Tuesday I received the actual card. And that evening, I started getting texts that my case status changed. I also received my interview letter 10/10 for 11/8. It is out of order but now I just need to prepare papers for the interview. Good luck!

[omoiyakaso]

It sure is. USCIS has been bombarding me with texts about my case updates. Got like 8 text messages.

Waoo at last

No change in status for my I-485

My priority date is june 13,2017
since July 20 it is showing that the case is ready for an interview but no further notice.

I am worried that I am travelling in Dec mid till feb, what if I get a notice while I wasn't in US.

Can I expedite my I-485. I can see even July filers have got interview notice
I am not getting interview notice
worried

[rolandohernandez]

Hey! I have a very similar PD like yours! How did you know your case was ready for an interview? I got an RFIE as well and I summited to them one month after like you did and my status has stay the same "USCIS has received evidence requested " and what stated are you in? Btw I have no EAD yet or even Aproved...

Hi and congrats! My case changed for 765 to "card being produced" as well. Does anyone have info on how long to expect card in mail after the status changes online?

Hello, thank you! Same to you Have you received your card yet? My online status just updated today that on October 24th, the card was mailed to me. Hoping to get it reallyyyy soon!!

Oh and I also got the actual approval letter of EAD and AP on 10/24.

On the other hand, my I-485 still says "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" it's been like that since September 18th..... Anyone have the same situation?

SR about I-765 taking too long

Hi everyone!

So my PD is June 29th
Haven't had any updates about my work authorization since we submitted the application. I submitted an online inquiry about status of my EAD on October 25th.

Case history states now:

Oct 25th inquiry been assigned to an officer for response
Oct25th we SENT a response to your inquiry about the status of your EAD
Oct 25th your inquiry was complete

Does this mean they sent an actual EAD? The status of my i765 still says they received the application... It's been 5 days since I submitted the inquiry. Anyone had the same experience? Any suggestions on what to do next?
