June 2020 filings

All what you need are the ID and the letter, they will take a photo for you and probably this one will be used for the green card not the one you sent .
The petitioner doesn’t need to be present for the biometric appointment and I think she will not be allowed inside due to COVID restrictions.

what proof did you use to expedite your I765

[atl2020]

mamad2100 They're still working on processing your expedited EAD request. I think it's just a coincidence that your I485 moved into "Ready for Interview" at the same time.

Update:

6/30/2020 PD
01/05/2021 Biometric
01/11/2021 Request to Expedite EAD/I765
01/13/2021 I485 ready to be scheduled for interview

Question:
I called to expedite EAD but instead they changed my status of I485 to be scheduled for interview. I heard it can take months for interview, I really need my EAD. I'm worried they don't send EAD till I485 interview. Is this normal? ever happened to anyone?

I can’t even believe it , my husband’s I-485 case changed into new card is being produced. I’m overjoyed

[Gcapplicant2019]

Finally got my bio metric appointment for January 5! after filing 2 E-request and many calls.
Question: what do I need to take with me beside the letter and ID? My wife needs to be there too? (marriage based). Do they take pictures and use those pictures for future cards?

Could you tell me whats the reasoning you gave to USCIS for expediting EAD card and why did they reject your request to expedite? Are you in healthcare industry or did you show any other kind of severe financial personal/business loss? And how?

I have a job offer that I need to join by 7 December and haven’t had my biometrics done or EAD approved yet.

Looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

Wasn't sure if I replied to this yet. I am in the tourism industry - i have both a small business and a full time job. i lost my job but had a new job offer. i also listed long term effects, but i think the rejection of the request came mostly from the fact that i didnt have biometric appointment at the time i requested to expedite.

Where are you now in the process? did you get a biometrics appointment yet?

[atl2020]

Hi I filled a day after you.. Did u hear from them since u filed ??

Did you get biometrics appointment yet? i just finished mine. was wondering how long before they issue EAD

[atl2020]

Did they respond to your E-request today?
I filled on OCT 30th still no response

Got my biometrics appointment a few weeks ago, and completed finger printing on 12/11. They updated my I765 and I485 application the following day - "fingerprint received". Now waiting for next update. fingers crossed.
