September 2018 filers

I would look through people's timelines to get an idea of what is next.

Thank you! I did and looks like everyone's timeline is different but basically should I just wait for an update? I'm just a little concerned because it's been almost a week since I got my bio appointment and my case status still hasn't been updated

The update does not always happen right away. You're fine.

I just had my bio appointment last Wednesday (21st) but there has been no update on my online case statuses, should I be worried? What's the next step?
Thank you,

Same for me - I had my bio apptmt last Wednesday and status hasn't changed. Somebody told me their status never changed until they received their EAD, so...

PS: That would be helpful for us if you put your timeline is your signature!

What's your field office?

[nana.p]

What's your field office?

It's Seattle, WA, thank you for the reminder! I just added it, hopefully it'll show soon

I did it 4 weeks ago and no updates so far.

yeah I just wish there was a cut off of how long the wait for update after bio appointment should be until it becomes abnormally long but looks like everyone is different

EAD Validity?

Finally I have the EAD in hand. Picked it up from USPS this morning. The SSN shows on Informed Delivery and will be delivered to my mailbox today. I am at work already, first day! The whole EAD shenanigans were a nightmare, I am so glad it is over.

Note to others: do not celebrate until you have your EAD in hand. So many things can go south, especially when it involves the USPS.

Congrats! What is the validity of the EAD? Is it 1 year?

Hey everyone, I got the approval!

I will write more in detail but I have the FE exam this Saturday so I don't have time right now

I didn't get any updates yet, hoping to get one soon

For anyone about to go to the interview, I highly recommend this link and good luck! :

Congrats! That's the fastest green card approval we've seen here! 73 days from PD to approval! Clearly, Jacksonville, FL is the place to be.

Yes.

Wanted to share a small piece of info. When you will receive your EADs and SSNs, be prepared for a nightmare of paperwork, calls, emails and faxes. So far, I have called 3 banks (ones I have been banking with since before I got the SSN) to have them add my SSN to the credit cards, called my my car financial services to update my SSN on the lease, sent 4 faxes, 2 emails, and mailed one letter. It has been an exhausting 4 days since Monday. I am still not done. Bank of America (absolute worst bank ever for me, had billions of issues with them, and the only reason I am not dumping them is because my oldest credit card is with them), is STILL having difficulties linking my account to the SSN.

So be prepared for that, if you had any financial profiles before having an SSN. Make sure you make a comprehensive list of where updates need to be made.

Did you have SSN prior to this? Like through OPT or H1B? cause I heard your SSN doesn't change, they just give you a new card
