I got texts and emails that there was a change on my i-485 application. I went to see what it was, the status changed to "We are now ready to schedule your interview". The processing time for my field office is 9 to 17 months so I'm not really holding my breath for a faster interview date. If it comes, good, if not, I'm fine with my EAD card whenever it arrives.

There was someone from OK who got hit by the employment based interview glitch. The interview was scheduled really fast. Who knows...?

So at exactly 5 months, they were printing your ead?

Congratulations. I?m hoping I get mine too. Do you think the SR you raised helped? I?m 93 days in so far from my PD date and I was thinking of raising SR online? Did you do it online or over the phone? I have overstayed so it?s hard to collect financial evidence of bonafide marriage with my husband. I hope I get the EAD before the interview. And where are you filing from?

Although the SR still shows that it's unassigned, I personally think raising that SR made them look at my application and see what was going on with it. I raised the SR after about 4 months, though so... I can't say for sure if it was just normal processing time.

I am adjusting from F-1.

I know right. They wait exactly to approve the ead. I am still waiting for my new ead. Almost 4 months.

Did you just get your ead today?

I am not sure if your question is for me. But I'll answer it, just in case. My spouse was on F-1 visa, graduated, and approved for OPT through STEM. Spouse fell out of status after not securing a job within 90 days of receiving the EAD.

Hi UScitizenFillingforspouse, i am F1 too but my opt expires soon in June 27. If i stop working do i fall out-of-status? I am still waiting for my new EAD and I485 interview. July 1 should be exactly 5 months. Thank you so much.

[Hluu67]

whoever is dealing with my case is going slow on purpose lol. They approved my work permit exactly at the 5 months. Now the waiting game begins to see when they schedule my interview.

Hey dear field office

OKCfiler!

Your kind words are appreciated. I am just paying it forward. Have been blessed in many ways, and believe in sharing the wealth. Congratulations on your I-765 approval! Since you didn't file for your EAD to be expedited, I am pretty sure you will get the combo card. Your Social Security card should also arrive within a few weeks - usually three weeks.

All the best!

Congrats! Finally!

January 2018 filer here. I have spent the past 4 months worrying AF. The silence and wait was killing but finally, I got email that they approved my EAD and the card is being produced. Now I can buzz off and not bother about checking when they decide to schedule the interview. I'll have a job hopefully soon to keep myself busy. Now is the time to keep gathering evidence of bonafide marriage. I can't wait for this to be over. I applied for AP too but nothing yet on that front. I don't know if I'll get the combo card, I'll have to wait and see, I guess.

PS. UScitizenfilingforspouse, whoever you are, you're a very amazing person and you're appreciated. I have read countless posts from you (I don't stalk, I promise lol) and it's unbelievable the length you go to to help people with information. I just thought I should type some words of encouragement to you.
