Has anyone else received an I-693 deficiency notice? It's movement so I would assume that is a good sign.

Also, it looks like most people should by now have had their AP?

So this morning at 759am i got an email from USCIS saying there had been an update on my case. I just assumed it woud be a note saying they had recieved my evidence they had requested and were reviewing my case, but it looks like theyre actually producing my new work card!!!!!! Yay!!!
I needed some good news this week! 6 days ago my car was diagnosed with a blown head gasket and im 14hrs away from home so dont even know if ill make it back when i have to do the drive friday. Hubby may have to come rescue me. So thank goodness it wasnt all bad this week!

congrats!

its all about how you put the words together now, tell them the truth and all the reasons I guess.

I just drove around for an hour looking for a fax machine (the first 2 places i went theirs were broken) to send the cover letter, then the fax failed for over 30 mins. Great way to spend an afternoon :/

I dont have any other evidence to send so i guess thats all there is to do.

The only thing i can think of is to write a cover letter with statistics. I dont keep emails ive written to people saying ' sorry, im not working right now etc ertc" i delete them after i reply so they dont clog my inbox

I got an email today from USCIS asking me to prove how my business is being ruined by not being allowed to work for 3 months (and possibly 5 more). I called them and even the representative says they dont know how i could prove it either. So i guess that means my request has been denied.

thats great you get to talk to someone fast and they actually have some action on your EAD, hope they will approval your request!

Have to admit, it is the best time of my life - having an excuse not to work and just travel around, relax, chill, eat, sleep and play with my puppy. My partner on the other hand, works his butt off daily and very jealous of me lol.

Anyway, good luck!

THANKYOU! Me also. I love the career I built, I don't want to lose it. it's not like work for me. I'm lucky I guess.

Im actually self employed - i was here on an o1b visa and married a collegue a couple of years in. I just called USCIS and finally got through for once - I explained that i have a client based business, ive already been off work for 2 months, and although there is no financial hardship, my business of a decade could have detriments in the long term if i have to keep referring clients elsewhere for several more months. The lady on the phone agreed and put in an expidite request for me. She said i should hear in a week if they have accepted the request.
Although its been nice to have a 6 week vacation at the beach painting, i need to get back to "real life" asap

Definitely! I have read a lot of cases people try to expedite their EAD by showing proof that they have job offers and under finance hardship. Try to talk to your company's lawyer and see if your company can provide you a letter stating that you are in need of the EAD. I am not an expert, so do more research about this for sure, sorry couldnt give you more info.

And I know there are ppl in this group already got their card, but i am saying for marriage base GC in NBC(which range from 4-9 months according to uscis website), people who got their EAD some are adjust their statues via employment, so the situation are be different than most marriage base NBC folks.

Pretty sure theres someone in this thread who got their card already.

theres no way i can wait 5 more months. My career will be over and all my clients will be gone thinking ive died or something. They arlready think ive been deported or run away because ive been out of work for 2 months. Its a disaster. do you think that would be a good enough reason to apply for to be expidited?

From what Ive been reading from all the sites, EAD is processed based on PD, has nothing to do with your biometrics date. Some people may have their biometrics done last Dec, and some of us(marriage based GC in NBC) may do ours Bio this month(Feb) and it is very likely we all get the EAD around the same time because our PD are all Sept/2020.

Go to the uscis website and see the processing time. For example, our PD are all September, and right now on uscis website, NBC processing for EAD is 4-9 months, so as long as its within the 4-9 months time frame, it is still with the normal processing time (we all hate this, it sucks, I know...)

Hope this info may help some folks with their anxiety of waiting the EAD after their bio appt.
