September 2018 filers

[divemaster]

Any Sep filers got their EAD yet ?

Nothing here either ... interesting fact: I have a job lined up but they won’t give me an offer letter until I have the EAD.
I went to the Congressman office the other day and they called USCIS in front of me. Apparently the USCIS person told them that if I have a job offer they are ready to expedite and it’ll take about a week to complete ... so frustrating!!!

Anyway, we should be almost there ....

Hang in there! I filed mid-August and still haven't received any news on the EAD.

Early August started receiving theirs about a week ago so you should be getting news any second now. I'm early September. I hope they get to us soon.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum and it has been super helpful.

I've my timeline below, I am married to a USC (military). I've spoken to two USCIS officers in person and they both said to bring the medical exam to the green card interview, like it's no issue and I don't need to mail it in advance. Do you think that might slow anything down? I haven't had any updates on the website since 'fingerprint fee was received'. No RFEs, no courtesy letter for the i-693 medical form, nothing.

Also, anyone had any luck expediting their EADs? I'm interviewing and would be so sad if I couldn't work the job because I'm still waiting on the EAD....

Thanks! Trying to stay positive!

I can confirm it is not an issue to bring the medical exam results to the interview. If the medical papers are found to be in good order, then it will not slow down the process.

Nope. Some filers got theirs with expedition. I think they haven’t even touched the batches filed the mid/late August.

Thank you, hopefully will hear good news soon.

I wonder if anyone received their EAD without expediting the process? have you guys seen anyone from Sep ?

Thanks. It shouldn’t be a problem if the startdate for the job is not on 01/14 which is only 6 working days away. I may have to ask the company to give me a bit more time. It’s just devastating to have an offer hanging for 2 and a half months and saving account is getting slimmer and slimmer. It took me 3 months to get this job. I’ve read somwhere people got their job rescinded after waiting for 2 months.
Urgh.

Good luck, stay positive! I understand how hard it is at times though. Two of my friends were waiting their EAD as they found a job and both places waited for them up to 3 months.

Thank you for the details! What a wait ugh. Good luck with that. It's also probably the worst time of the year...things move so slow around the holidays it's like the country is on pause. I'm sure your case will shortly move forward!

It was actually an RFIE. It didn’t happen until I made a request for expedition on 11/07. Not sure how long I had to wait should I didn’t put in the request. Right after I made the call, the status of the I485 switched to “we sent you an RFIE”.
Turned out it was the RFIE for the form I864. My spouse didn’t make more than 125% income requirement, so I had to use my income as well. I’ve been working on campus under F1 visa for almost 3 years. They wanted to make sure my income was legally obtained.
This made me so mad because it wasn’t mentioned in the instruction for filing the form. Even worse, in the pink slip provided, it asked for proof of some specific visas that allows non-immigrant to work (like J, H, O...) but left out F1. As an F1 student, on-campus is granted without a fomal EAD. This ate up one month because I need to ask for a whole bunch of document from school’s HR and the International student office.
After submitting the repsonse, I made another request for expedition and still waiting...
Sigh
