Did you receive a notice in the mail after you see the " We scheduled an Interview" part?

I ask because I have received the notice but I dont have a formal letter that shows the date of the interview.

It took about a week (maybe 8/9 days) for me to get the letter with an interview date in the mail.

We got the EAD card on April 2, 2021. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the Social Security Card after this? Is there a way to track the status of the SS? Is there a way to find out what the SS number is before the card arrives?

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question. I received an RFIE for form I-693 which I completed and sent back on Wednesday. Case status is "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received". Does anyone have any idea if this means my interview is waived? and in case it is waived, how far am I from getting my case approved?

Thanks a lot.

Mike

I had my interview a few weeks ago and just got notice that a new card is being produced.

The interview was really straight forward. I took my I-693, our passports/birth certificates & notice letter. We had some extra photos on hand but none of it was needed. Nothing was asked about finances etc.

Asked really simple questions:

"How did you meet?"
"What's your spouses parents names"
"What's your spouses date of birth"

And then ran through the questions you have already completed on the I-485. (Are you a criminal etc.?)

Took exactly 3 weeks to get notification that it was successful.

Dario Alessandro Idrovo Idrovo;n757851]So our interview is end of April, and the letter asks for a bunch of documents, 90% of them we already sent with the application, do we need to print everything again and bring it?

-they asked for bona fide proof like pictures, etc... we sent about 100 with the application
-they asked also for my birth certificate, I am the petitioner and born in a foreign country, there’s no consulate in my city for my country, idk what to do to obtain this.
-they asked for my bank statements and tax records, again we sent this as well with the application
-Medical records with form which we scheduled for next week
-All travel documents for my spouse, we sent this we the application, they specified copies otherwise they will need to keep the originals
-they asked for my pay stubs for last 12 months, why? Idk but I did originally send them for the previous 6 months

most of everything seems to be around finances, though between the both of us, we both being engineers working for tech companies we both make a lot, so not sure why all the requests for this.

anyways, any advice on my birth certificate, I don’t understand why wouldn’t they ask for my passport which proves my citizenship? It’s going to be tough to obtain a modern copy of my birth certificate, my current one is hand written by my country’s government lol

there is also a line that says “Bring copies of all documents and forms sent with the original application” why? And does this mean we have to print and assemble our whole 300 page application packet?

@ Dario Alessandro Idrovo - I think it must just be a standard letter because we got the EXACT same one.

In all honesty we arent going to take all of the things already submitted either. Its such a hhuge waste of paper.

We are taking just the things from the submittion date forward - which to be fair there isnt a lot of. Due to covid we didnt see family at xmas and its too cold in chicago to do much outside over winter - and i was away all of Jan too.

It dosent say you HAVE to bring all the original things again, it just says if you dont then to be aware theyre going to keep everything you originally sent.

You mention you guys are engineers - we are business owners and aso make good $. Im wondering i thats the reason our applications were processed so quickly. That would be sad if it was true, but i feel its likely.

Damm, ours was scheduled for April 30th, you might need to fly back for yours.

yeah, i am, it sucks. Mine is also on the 30th in chicago. thats where yours is right? what a crazy coincedence.

I was meant to be in oregon for a month mid april to mid may but now im flying back for that one day. We decided to drive from chicago to CO to visit his mum right after (as we havnt seen her for a while due to covid and now we are all vaccinated) the interview then ill fly back to oregon from CO. We were going to do that trip at the end of May when i got back but bumped it forward,

We werent expecting the interview til at least november so were stunned when it was scheduled so soon!

09/17/2020: Sent I-485, I-765 and I-131
10/17/2020: I-765 "Case was updated that fingerprint was taken".

Still that status is same.

Does anybody have received the EAD or approval? I appreciate it.

I got my biometrics taken on March 31 and today my status changed to "Your case is ready for an interview". This means no files are missing and I'm now preparing for the final step I guess.
Does anybody have any idea how long it might take for the interview to be scheduled. I did some research and it says it can take up to 24 months, which I really don't hope is the case.
I'm applying in the Dallas, TX office.

Right now Dallas is interviewing people who filed in February 2020. It seems it's taking a little over a year to schedule an interview since the time of application.
