For those who have gotten interviews etc, did this account (https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov) ever reflect those changes? My i130 and my i765 just say "we received your case" and my i485 timeline shows that it was received, that they sent the RFIE, show my biometrics, and show that they received the response to the RFIE.

After what day can I request a SR or if I make an appointment at my local office, what am I supposed to ask? Just "why is this taking so long?" lol

Mines is the same as well it doesn?t say anything about shceduled interviews it just says we received it and the biometrics. I just did mines a couple of mins ago. I still haven?t gotten an approval notice and it wasn?t updated on either website even tho the officer said he would recommend it for approval. Im starting to get worried..

FO is San Francisco. Wife is Singaporean, I'm a USC. Married last year while she was on F1 OPT. She left upon her OPT completion in September and re-entered the US with ESTA in December.
Filed on Jan 19.
Feb 9 biometrics.
Interview date was 4/25.

Went yesterday, got sworn in and we couldn't contain ourselves and asked why was the interview scheduled so quick, as we were braced for the long haul. She said they're doing them a lot quicker these days and begun going through the application. Asked all of the questions about terrorism, crimes etc etc. Then she asked for financial documents.

We provided:
1. joint ownership via deed of the house,

2. most recent joint bank account statement. We had submitted the 1st joint statement since 2014 and the last in Jan when we filed.

3. 3 AmEx card statements where wife is the primary and I'm the authorized user. We had submitted 1st statement of each card after I was added and the January one when we filed. AmEx is great for this because unlike other cards they will separate the purchases in the statement by card user and give the name of the user in the statement as well.

4. car insurance statement from 2015 with both our names and cars as well as the most recent one.

She then asked about how we met. I told the story. My wife supplemented it. She asked about wedding date. We told her that we've had 2 ceremonies, one in Monterrey on the beach which was the legal one, and the customary ceremony in Shanghai with her family. She asked about trips together, we pointed to the photo album (which we already submitted with the application) with pics all over the US, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Mexico and China. We wanted to give her a few more from our recent trip to DC, she said not necessary as she has plenty already. She asked whether I had met her parents before the wedding, told her that I've first met them in 2013 at their home in Shanghai then again in 2015 when they came to visit us in the US.
She said she had plenty of information, she would approve the i-130 then gave us the paper with the "under review" checked.

We thanked her and she showed us out.

Nothing happened since then... we kept hoping and checking the case status page in the https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ as well as the regular case status webpage https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do
And then there was this morning...
I had registered at the DHS site and this morning I saw an email had come in at 3 AM noting a change. I quickly logged in to see "card being produced" WHOHOOOOOO Woke up my wife to tell her the good news!
Also, later on today, I checked the Android app to see that both i-130 and i-485 had changed status to "approved"
A bit strange that one system says card produced, and the other says approved... but who cares! All good!

Hi guys guys just wanted to share my process with you hopefully this gives someone hope. Me and my husband just came from our interview a day ago 04/24/2017. A lil background info, I?m a USC and he?s Jamaican. we got married 11/17/2017, PD date is 01/19/2018, biometrics was 02/20/2018 and we got notice for scheduled interview 03/24/2018 for 04/24/2018. Prior he did not receive an EAD OR AP. our process went really quick our officer told us that he is going to recommend our case for aproval. We are just waiting for GC now. My lawyer advice us to make a copy of EVERYTHING and put in order with the originals. She also made us make a table of contents for every pile just so it can be very organize for the officer and give them little work as possible. Our officer was pretty nice and asked us basic questions about our wedding, why our family didn?t attend and what each other likes to eat. And also why it was a short engagement, and what we planned on doing for the summer in which I told him we wanted to go to Haiti if everything went right, he did inform us that we?ll receive the GC in about a month and that we were going to get approved. He didn?t ask us for no additional documents I guess because he figure there isn?t really much we could?ve done in just 3 months without jobs. We did managed to get a joint bank account, a notorized letter from my in laws saying that?s we reside with them, an insurance policy with my hubby as a beneficiary, same phone acct letter and a lot of junk letters putting us at our address just Incase. Everything had it?s own copies and we had three piles a HIM, a ME, and a US. The officer did ask for some pictures in which we gave him a pile with dates and descriptions on the back he picked a couple that he wanted to keep and that was it. I do suggest you and spouse go over some questions and be on the same page just in case you have one of those separation interview which we were very grateful we didn?t have but if we did we would?ve been great because we were prepared for the worst of the worst. but good luck and DONT BE NERVOUS YOU GUYS GOT THIS. KEEP PRAYING AND I WILL KEEP PRAYING FOR THIS FORM AS WELL GOOD LUCK GUYS

Thanks for sharing! Let us know when u receive the card please!😇

Did you get any online notification that your EAD is produced? If so, which online account are you using (old or new)? Or did you just get a letter?

I've been using that system for a while and that it still showing: We received your biometrics fee and are reviewing your case
That was at 02/05

[krlosrb]

Did you try the new website? https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/

Note: You have to create a new account and add the case number again.

What does it say about your status? DId it change to "ready to interview" on 3/29?

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.

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?

No I didn?t have EAD before.

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.

Thank you 👍
