Hi, what documents did you provide for the expidite process?

[Vpanda85]

I got the update (via egov) that card production has been ordered for I-765.

Hi, what documents did you provide for the expidite process?

I made the request under criterion 4 - Nonprofit organization whose request is in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States - so they provided the supporting documentation.

Wondering if it is time for me to get worried or something... because my status has not been touched since Dec 19 and I haven't applied for EAD or AP....

I don't think you need to worry. Some cases take more time than others.

Have any employment based non-concurrent filers to MSC received their EADs or had their interviews scheduled?

Hello Everyone,

I just want to thank everyone on this forum. The information in this forum is simply invaluable. I couldn't have done it without.

I was approved yesterday and the process for me took about 5 months and a couple of days. Below you will find my interview.

I-130 & I-485
Adjustment of Status - Marriage based - DACA Recipient
11/16/2018 - Priority Date
12/03/2018 - Biometrics Done - Walked In
12/19/2018 - Case Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview
03/11/2019 - Interview Scheduled
04/22/2019 - Interview Done - Approved on spot
04/22/2019 - New Card Is Being Produced

We arrived at the Federal Plaza building about 45 minutes before the interview(better early than late).
We waited about 30 minutes before we were called.
Once inside the interview was straight forward.

First we were asked for our documents(passports) and then went on to ask for supporting documents which I was a bit confused about since we sent everything to them.

I had a copy of everything I sent with me on a folder, I handed them all our supporting documents(marriage license, receipts, health insurance, photos, tax returns)
Once we got past that everything was great. The interviewer was amazing. It was like having a conversation. He did ask us questions but it didn't feel as if I was being interrogated but more as if we were having a conversation which was great. I felt comfortable throughout.

We were asked basic questions for example:

How I entered country?
How we met?
What was our address?
When we got married?
If we had kids?
If we went on our honeymoon?

During this question, I answered that we didn't go on a honeymoon because we wanted to go to Greece and I couldn't go and he answered that after today we won't have any excuses. Such a relieve.

My experience was great and I don't think how it could have gone any better. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I filed from NY, Queens.
