2019 Newark, NJ Filers

[Japm]

The only thing that comes to my mind is that they are moving cases to different offices to speed up the process? Congrats on your interview!!!

Thank you! We are a little upset because our lawyer charges $750 more to come with us to the interview

For some reason my interview is on the Mt Laurel office which is further. Anyone know why?

Hey guys, i started my journey 2 months ago, i didn’t get ant info about my EAD yet but got an e-mail that my i-485 is ready to schedule my interview, does that mean i’ll skip the process of getting EAD? Or it will come eventually?

My timeline:

11/16/2019 - Marriage with US Citizen (New Jersey)
12/18/2019 - Documents sent to USCIS
12/23/2019 - Case was received in USCIS (Chicago, IL)
01/02/2020 - NOA in my mailbox (I-130, I-485, I-765)
01/18/2020 - Fingerprints appointment scheduled
01/28/2020 - Fingerprints done in local ASC (Hackensack, NJ)
01/30/2020 - Fingerprints were applied to my case
02/18/2020 - Ready to schedule my interview (I-485)

You may! Sometimes you can have the status “ready to be scheduled for an interview” for months before your interview is scheduled! With Newark office, I’m guessing you will first get the EAD! But one never knows. Maybe you’ll have a super fast case and skip the whole EAD thing. It took 6.5 months for my EAD to arrive. Still waiting for an interview to be scheduled! Good Luck!

Am sickened looking at your timeline. You filed many months before me & your still waiting! Smh

I am unable to understand why it's happening to me and I can't do much about it. I'm tired of all this. All left in my life is frustration, depression and desperation. Yesterday, I raised SR for "outside normal processing time" but I don't think I'm going to get any reply before March 13th (as mentioned in SR response).

[CuriousKat]

Nothing at all. I'm at day 209. I will submit a SR for outside processing time tomorrow.

Did you get your EAD Card? It’s been a total of 127 days since I filed everything,
60 days since “case is ready for interview” &
88 days since “fingerprint review completed”: maybe by 90 days I will hear something but I truly hate this process now..

Yes, I have my EAD since January 16th.. got my EAD on day 192! NBC is super slow! I hate this process too - you’re not alone

[Amyz]

Anybody has any good news? ????

Can I ask what status were you adjusting from? Wonder if that makes any difference!

I came through the VWP and overstayed

[Ires]

I’m waiting for the notice in the mail. It’s so surreal!

Thank you everyone, I hope your cases eventually keep going sooner than later
