February 2018 submission- i-130, i-485, i-765 - concurrent filing

[MissTz1982]

Today marks day 92. PD 2/20/2018. Received my EAD but patiently waiting on my green card interview. Just ready to get it all over with. Started my first job with my EAD on Monday. Process went through smoothly. Not too many questions asked. Guess I was issued my EAD because the grenn card interview is going to take a while.

How long is your EAD valid for? You are the one that had to expedite it right due to job offer right? Congratulations on starting your new job. I hope it will be the same for me too. Tired of sitting at home. 😩

Congratulations! That's really exciting news. Mine still shows "user-defined error" unfortunately. I called several times (level 1 officer) and had been told that my I-485 is still in the National Benefit Center under background review and has not even been transferred to the local Boston field office yet... I am feeling so anxious waiting since it's been 107 days since my PD (2/5/2018).

On the other hand, last week (5/17/2018) I called level 1 officer to request for expediting my I-765 case (for EAD card) and got a confirmation #. Nothing has happened yet. No update so far... crossing my fingers coz my current EAD (from F-1 visa) is about to expire in two months and I'm working a full-time job now.

Would really appreciate if anyone else filed the same type of family-based I-130, I-485, I-765 could share their timeline/case status!

Mine is marriage based AOS filing from ATlanta.

PD date 2/22/2018
On 4/18 status changed for i485 to a blank page. Called Uscis and has to speak with level 2 officer the next day who told me my current status is ?case is ready to be scheduled for interview?. Status for i765 is still at ?fingerprints received and case is being processed?. I?m 90 days in bow.

Call USCIS back and ask to speak to level 2 officer. They tend to have more info than level 1 officer.

Hello,

I?m from Boston too. My PD is 2/28/2018. Biometric is 3/27/2018. My 485 status changed to ? we are ready to schedule an interview for you?.

Hey guys, so I finally got a hold of the level 2 officer and boy was I disappointed. She told me that my applications are still pending (i-485 and i-765)... so technically noone has touched my cases yet. And she told me to keep on waiting.
I've been waiting since Feb 12, and it sucks to know that I waited this long only to find out that noone even touched my case yet. Noone's even working on my EAD. What is the Buffalo office doing for crying out loud?!
How much longer can a person wait? Starting to lose faith in this... if after all these months of waiting, they send me an RFE out of the blue, I will be so pissed.
I dont know what else to do. I mean i can't contact the ombudsman just yet, right?


PD: 02/12/2018

Great

You can call USPS but I would just walk over to your post office.
Call USCIS customer service. Any level 1 will have access to your interview date and time.

Okay cool I?ll probably give it just some more days and if nothing I?ll call

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

Yes I remember you were the one telling me this previously

[Jay D Destin]

Is there a specific number?

You could ask your post office to hold any USCIS mail for you. USPS informed delivery may or may not scan your interview notice. It's happened recently that some notices have not been scanned. You can also call USCIS and get your interview date and time.

Sign up for Informed Delivery

I?ve been here waiting for my letter also with the interview date I receive the notification today makes 5 days now just waiting for the letter don?t know how long it takes to deliver but I just hope we?re home when it comes

You can sign up here with USPS: https://informeddelivery.usps.com/bo...o/start.action

This will allow you see beforehand (in the morning), which all mails you can expect during the day and you can plan your day accordingly.

I knew in the morning that USCIS mail would be arriving because USPS upload the scanned images of the mails on Informed Delivery.

[Jay D Destin]

Awesome

Yesterday, letter confirming the interview arrived. My interview is scheduled for 6/20. All my other 3 cases ( I-130, I-131 and I-765) are still showing Case Is Received. From what I have been reading around the forum, USCIS is scheduling GC interviews even before issuing any EADs since there is already a big backlog to clear for EADs. Wishing everyone the best in their journey.
