I saw that a few July 2017 people had interviews scheduled on the July 2017 thread.

How about you October 2017 people? My wife and I are still enduring this agonizing wait.

Had my interview yesterday , my PD is 17th Oct 2017
They asked me literally nothing , I have a marriage based application .
My status shows now " Interview completed and my case must be reviewed "
One of the reasons being the interview was taken by a trainee she mentioned case is approved but needs her supervisor to approve this formally .
So hoping all will be good. However she also mentioned it might take up to 120 days.

All will be good .
Luck and hope

GC Approval after 5 months / SD Office

Hello all,

I have been an observer on this website since I started working on my K-1 visa, but I'd like to share my timeline since I just got an approval notice for my GC.

PD - 10/02/2017
10/15/2018 - Applications received by USCIS (I-130, I-765, and I-485, c(9))
10/22/2018 - Fingerprint Fee accepted
10/23/2018 - Receipts Received
10/26/2018 - Biometrics Appointment Notice received
11/08/2018 - Request For Initial Evidence was mailed
11/16/2018 - Biometrics
11/22/2018 - RFE sent to NBC
12/19/2018 - Interview ready to be scheduled
01/11/2019 - Interview was scheduled
02/25/2019 - Interview for GC (IO recommended approval)
02/25/2019 - New Card is being produced (later on the same day as the interview)
02/28/2019 - New Card was mailed
03/01/2019 - Approval Notice for I-485 received

My field office is San Diego, CA. Although I have applied for EAD and AP, the status for both is still stuck on Case was Received and I got my GC approved first.
The interview took 45 minutes and the IO said she would give recommendation for my approval. I am currently waiting to receive the actual GC in hand.

I understand how frustrating the wait is and hope that your day of approval will come soon!
Good luck y'all!!

EAD expedite experience

Good morning everybody,

I hope February will be a good month for us, October filers
I am writing this post to share my experience but mainly to ask for your opinions.

Last year an incident led me to the Emergency room. Of course, the bill was **** *nomical. After that I needed more investigation and treatment that requested a higher financial effort.
Because physically and mentally I was able to work (but not legally), me and my husband started exploring for options. So we decided to try our luck and go with the request to have the EAD expedited. Believe me that I hate cutting off people in lines, but at that moment I decided my health was more important.

After I had my biometrics taken, I applied for the expedite request. The status on the USCIS account soon changed to "On December 4, 2018, we sent a response to your request to have your case expedited, referral number T1BxxxxxxxMSC." They sent me the letter asking for proof and on December 14th I sent them the hospital bill and also a job offer that I had on behalf of a company.
After that, no update, no anything regarding this case.

I almost lost my hope on this because I know there is a huge backlog on expedite requests, and I treated myself as I could.

However, on Monday 01/28 I decided to give them a phone call just to ask them about my biometrics: are they completed? The Tier 1 officer said they don't have these information.
I said whatever...so I decided to also ask about my expedite request. The girl was surprised I hadn't received any answer to it, since it was almost 2 months, and transferred my case to a Tire 2 officer that was supposed to call me (but never did).

When I logged into my USCIS account the second day, 01/29, the history for the i765 was the following:

01/28/2019
On January 28, 2019, your request to have your case expedited, referral number T1B3xxxxxMSC, was completed.

01/28/2019
On January 28, 2019, we sent a response to your request to have your case expedited, referral number T1BxxxxxMSC.

01/28/2019
On January 28, 2019, your request to have your case expedited, referral number T1BxxxxxMSC, was assigned to an officer for response."


My question is: will I receive something in the mail? I'm not saying my expedite request was approved, because it would be ridiculous to be solved from one day to another. Also, the status for the i765 is still stuck at "we received your form".
Waiting for your opinions on this


My timeline is:
PD on 10/19/2018, i130, i485, i765, c(9)
Had my Biometrics on 11/23/2018
Received an RFE on 01/08/2019 for my i485, I delivered the response to them on the 21st of January and the app updated its status with "On January 23, 2019, we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxx. Our National Benefits Center office will begin working on your case again."
105 days since PD
No update on the biometrics.
