Response to request: April 16 (Letter received that 'your case is in our normal processing time'.)

What now?

Wait until it's outside normal processing time then raise another SR. At the end of the day u knew that 90 days was the mark for it to be considered outside processing time. U can't expect USCIS just to make an exception because of a job offer. The wiser thing that u should've done was to wait until it was getting closer to the 90 day mark then send contact employers or something. The waiting sucks, I know but all u can do at this time is wait.

How did you expedite your EAD? My current EAD expires on 5/31 ...and I am slowly getting nervous. Did you have a EAD before?

For those that are getting interviews scheduled, did your case already pass through NSC National Service Center and arrive at your local USCIS office?

My case was transferred to NSC a while ago but no news after that.

Hi, I am in Pittsburgh. I cannot access to 485 since March 26th too!

Geeze, hope it is in the line for interview. I am so worried!

I cant access it since 03/29
I called to USCIS and the immigration officer level 2 told me to send a email to [email protected]
I asked about my case status and he said the interview is ready to be scheduled.

No Status Change since, the first "Case received"

It hasn't changed online. It still says case received.

Hi guys,
I'm new here, I'm Jan filler as well.
PD 01/09
Bio 02/09
Ever since, I received no online update.
I guess it might happen like Omo or perhaps not. Any PDX filler in the house?

My Timeline (married to USC)
- January 28th, sent packet to USCIS
- January 29th, USCIS received the documents / PD
- February 6th, NOAs on the receipt
- February 16th, Biometric schedule received
- February 28th, Biometrics done
- March 26th, i485 not accessible already. Never raised an SR as I read on this forum that some glitch OR after they talked to an L2 officer, they are advised that its already in line for interview. Other cases can still be accessed with the same status - ?case received?
- April 7th, Letter received for initial interview for May 7th. Notice date is April 2nd.

Total of 2 months and 9 days. To God be the Glory! FO is Chicago.

Well, if they approve the GC on the spot, or in the following days, we no longer need to wait for EAD/AP. GC satisfies both those needs.
When we go for the interview though, I will ask the officer as to why this was scheduled so quick, given today's trends.

They're probably realizing that it makes business sense to skip EAD/AP and go straight to interviews. Reallocate that manpower at the service centers to pre-adjudicate cases for field offices. It's just about the only way they will be able to keep up with the already huge backlog and the new interview requirement for all employment based AOS petitions.
