Case Approved

Feeling so so blessed! Don’t lose faith! Today was my day, tomorrow will be yours! Mine is based on I-485 and I am F2A priority wise. Now I did expedite, but on USCIS website there is no tracking of my expedite journey, so no idea if it worked. Sharing in details in case this helps: -Expedited on December 8th, 2021, through EMMA. Operator asked if I wanted to provide a reason for the Expedite and I said “I have a job and will lose it, and I am working on a very important project for the company” - so financial loss to me and company. I think this might have helped not to shut down the expedite. -On January 7th, 2022, received an email asking for evidence. -On January 7th I sent: — A nice letter explaining my situation: I will lose my salary and health insurance, and that the company would delay a project it had promised to investors — A letter proving employment, with my salary there — A screenshot of my monthly expenses tracking on a bank website, to show I need my salary to cover for things — A copy of my Health Insurance policy — A letter from my manager explaining that I was running this important project and asking USCIS to expedite my request -On January 18th I realized UPS had faxed to the wrong number (despair!!!), so I sent everything again -On January 24th status changed to “card is being produced” Again, the expedite request was never tracked or updated through USCIS website, so no idea if that did the trick (but might as well have, because according to Visa Journey they are just starting July). Hope this helps! Also, I learned my lesson: next time I’ll file 6 months before card expiration (I had filed with 3 months thinking that was enough, but I was SO STRESSED OUT because I was on the verge of losing my work authorization even with the 180 days extension). Happy to answer any questions!

EAD Approved Nebraska Service Center

so I applied on May 7th 2021. EAD expired on July 11th and extension expired on January 6th. there was no activity on my case till December 20th. I contacted USCIS 3 times for an expedited request and worked with Emma and called the contact center once a day for 2 weeks. I don’t know how or why the case was processed fast, but case status changed within 30 days. went from received to actively reviewing and card is produced within a few weeks. best of luck everyone and if anyone has questions please let me know!

How long does it take for me to receive my SSN after receiving my Green Card?

How long does it take for me to receive my SSN after receiving my Green Card? Is there any way I can get this number by going somewhere without having to wait?

AOS undder 3 months! (H1B to Marriage Based GC)

First of all as a long time lurker I just want to thank everyone for all the input and replies whenever I needed them. Our status updates to case approved for I485 today and I cannot be more excited to get the GC in mail in the next week or two! Thank you to all the SFV field office officers and staff for being fair and treating us amazingly. tip: Sponsor and Beneficiary both registered for USCIS online account and it was SO HELPFUL. Everytime there was an update on the case we got a text + email, therefore we were able to reply to RFE promptly (we did this on the online portal as well instead of mailing) and next day the officer downloaded all the RFE docs and requested interview for us. Most of the notices became immediately available on the portal once mailed and you can download them. (excluding the interview notice but it arrived regardless) And BRING EVERYTHING you can to the interview. The officer was friendly but she did ask for ALL the evidence we had for bona fide marriage and kept all of them.

Marriage based AOS approved!

This went by so fast! I was expecting to wait up to a year! My husband is from Canada, and we live in LA. It seems like the LA office is going really fast at the moment. Questions for the interview were pretty straightforward, and it felt a lot like a pop quiz about our relationship. I got some years wrong, but the officer understood that these past few years are a blur, haha. It was a smooth process for us so far!
