I-765 finally updated to “new card is being produced” after almost 9 months of waiting
hey everyone, I just got notified that my EAD card is being produced finally, and I thought it may help those of you that are in a similar position. I filed I-765 concurrently with my family based I-485 in December 2020, and while I’m still waiting for an interview date to be scheduled for my I-485, I’m excited that my EAD finally got approved today. I’m not sure if the 765 is processed in the local office or not, but my local office is in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

@Frank really? that’s amazing!! my 485 timeline last updated on March 31st for “ready to be scheduled for interview”, but I kinda predicted that I’ll hear from them around September or October. how long did it take for your interview to get scheduled from the “ready to be scheduled” date?
A kAug 24, 2021

@sara is your interview scheduled ?
s
sara r.Sep 28, 2021
nope, still says interview ready to be scheduled since March 31st
Samar AkramSep 28, 2021
how long does the entire process take when permenant resident file for spouse?
s
sara r.Sep 28, 2021
@Samar, I don’t know, my mom filed for me, so I’m in the category of unmarried child under 21. it seems to me that they’re prioritizing employment based cases as opposed to family based ones
Samar AkramSep 28, 2021
true that..i am done with my interview its been 3 months.. case still in review
s
sara r.Sep 28, 2021
that’s unnerving, I hope you get some good news soon!

@sara is your interview has been scheduled now ? as i seen some movement for Minneapolis FO
s
sara r.Oct 14, 2021
@N V, yes! i recently got the notice for my interview date, it’s on November 8th early in the morning
N
N VOct 14, 2021
@sara Great!! Congratulations!! when your status change from ready to schedule to actually scheduled?
s
sara r.Oct 14, 2021
@N V online it changed on October 1st, but the notice mailing date was the 27th of September. it had been on “ready to be scheduled” since March 31st, so it took almost exactly 7 months for them to schedule it.
Samar AkramNov 9, 2021
@sara : How was your IV?
s
sara r.Nov 9, 2021
@Samar it was pretty standard, but the interviewer was stern and VERY thorough (compared to last time when i got an interviewer that was more relaxed). he just went over the 485 form with me. in the end, this time I had not left the country while application was pending, so everything was in order, but he said he needs to review whether i belong to the F2A category or not (which I calculated yesterday too, and my USCIS age is 20 years 5 months and I’ve applied for 485 2 months after I-130 was approved so he’s probably gonna realize that too and approve this case). my lawyer said we should be getting an approval within a week or so, but as of now my online status says “interview has been completed and case must be reviewed”. although I’m positive he will approve, the waiting for the decision is the worst part of this
Samar AkramNov 9, 2021

Samar AkramNov 9, 2021
