shakti lenkaFeb 16, 2022
thank you everyone
Buzz KingFeb 16, 2022
cool. mine is 8 Sep and Chicago. hope I hear some good news this week
Buzz KingFeb 16, 2022
who can contact tier 1 officer? the beneficiary? or the sponsor?
s
shakti lenkaFeb 16, 2022
for i485 i765 and advanced parole , beneficiary can contact
E
E SFeb 25, 2022
I tried contacting USCIS on the phone and could only get the machine and when I chatted with someone, they weren't helpful. Just kept telling me to check the processing time chart. I submitted on September 8th so was hoping to hear back soon after you, but still nothing. How did you contact or ask for the ticket? @shakti lenka ?
E
E SFeb 25, 2022
@Buzz King have you heard anything?
Buzz KingFeb 25, 2022
no
Buzz KingFeb 25, 2022
as per lawfully statistics, around 37% people who applied in our time frame got approved. I guess a lot more people ahead of us
s
shakti lenkaFeb 25, 2022
I chatted and for ead the tier 1 officer said he cannot do anything but he did raise a out of processing time for i485 as it was more than 2 months for rfe response received by them, but it's been more than 2 weeks for that ticket no response , but I did get my EAD approved 3 days after I raised ticket got i485, not sure what happened, and hope for yours to get approved soon
E
E SFeb 25, 2022
Thank you both for responding! Yeah I chatted with someone today but they didn't mention anything about raising a ticket (I also got an RFE and responded to it Nov 4). Wasn't sure if the 2 month thing for the rfe was an official thing. I hope so too!
E
E SFeb 25, 2022
Also did you also apply for the AP (I-131)?
s
shakti lenkaFeb 25, 2022
yeah i applied for ap but they gave me just ead I was surprised I thought I will get combo, also yes 60 days is a official timeline to respond after they received rfe response , check the date on the uscis website the date from there
s
shakti lenkaFeb 25, 2022
but the ticket didnt help me , may be it was just coincidence but they gave me ead
s
shakti lenkaFeb 25, 2022
and no response for the ticket I raised for i485
K
K PFeb 25, 2022
congratulation
E
E SFeb 25, 2022
Thank you! Sorry don't mean to bug you too much. So you haven't heard from the AP yet?
s
shakti lenkaFeb 25, 2022
no worries we are here to help each other
E
E SFeb 26, 2022
shatki lenka. apparently they have 30 days to respond to your ticket so there’s still hope that you could hear back soon!
Buzz KingFeb 28, 2022
@E S, my I-765 status changed to card being produced today
s
shakti lenkaFeb 28, 2022
congratulations
E
E SFeb 28, 2022
congratulations! I hope mine comes out soon but also with the decoupling of the EAD and AP I hope they both get approved
E
E SFeb 28, 2022
@shatki lenka Any word on your service request? I submitted mine today
Buzz KingFeb 28, 2022
apparently, USCIS has reduced priority on 131
E
E SFeb 28, 2022
yeah I’ve heard. did you apply to it?
E
E SFeb 28, 2022
@Buzz King did your expedite or talk to anyone?
Buzz KingFeb 28, 2022
I called USCIS on Friday asking for EAD. they said they cannot predict when it will be approved. But, created an expedite ticket.
Buzz KingFeb 28, 2022
I did apply for AP, but no change in status
E
E SFeb 28, 2022
ok. hope you hear back about it soon. when I asked about creating an expedite request they told me it could actually make it worst
E
E SFeb 28, 2022
how did you manage to talk to someone. I just get the machine
Buzz KingFeb 28, 2022
I tried the online Emma chat.. I typed, 'live agent' and finally it gave me an option to chat with live agent.

shakti lenkaFeb 28, 2022
@E S I got it yesterday, the letter says my i485 is pending review and apology for the delay 🙁
E
E SMar 1, 2022
that’s annoying @shakti
E
E SMar 3, 2022
@Buzz King. did you hear anything about your expedite request before you were approved?
Buzz KingMar 4, 2022
@E S, I doubt if they had seen the expedite request. The ticket was raised on Friday afternoon and my EAD was approved on Sunday midnight. I just received EAD. Now, have to wait for AP or the interview

Buzz KingMar 14, 2022

E
E SMar 14, 2022
