Hi GC wait are you also from Newark?

and when did you file?

Same here. October 2020 filer, Texas service center. it’s been a year already 😩

I heard texas is taking a long time...

has anyone of you tried talking to your districts congressman?

@avid gamer Same for me but I’m fb. Filed October 2020 and I still don’t have EAD or interview scheduled 😭. My senator did contact them on my behalf but they still haven’t processed my application.

@ker and what did the senator told you about why was the case taking long?

@ker and what is your local field office?

Field office is fort Myers Florida and uscis told my senator that my i485 was undergoing case creation and front end processing and cannot be adjudicated or expedited until that process has been completed. Apparently all the cases go through this and once it’s done you receive that “case is ready to be scheduled for an interview” update. Unfortunately for me I have no idea how long this process will take and I don’t think my case will be updated with that message since I have an ioe receipt number. The ioe cases usually go straight to “interview scheduled” from “actively being reviewed”

I recommend contacting your senator. Uscis usually responds to them pretty quickly and I’ve seen a lot of people get approved after their congressperson intervenes

@ker If every case goes through the steps you have mentioned then why is that other cases are getting final decisions and yours is still pending... try contacting via your senator a second time if you don't get the interview date.

I have contacted the Senator and she is yet to respond.

Same here. Oct 29, 2020 filer. Dropped off medicals in FO, Jax, FL. No further updates on the case.

october 5, 2020 eb3 filer. MSC office. no approval. waiting waiting and waiting

evr denis you are waiting for longer than all of us here on this thread... didn't you contact your Senator?

same here ,we filled on oct 23 2020.Got biometrics in January, got EAD in February. But havent got anything further from February. People from our city Phoenix who applied a day before us got there GC exactly after 14 days his date got current. I contacted senator a month ago and they responded immediately. i contacted them yesterday again as my daughter won a huge scholarship in her school and said they need GC for her to enjoy the scholarship, but senator didnt respond yet(its been 36 hrs and first time with an hour they responded us) i wonder EB 2 works faster

@avid gamer all cases go through the preliminary checks that’s what I meant. Unfortunately some cases just take longer than others based on a number of factors. My goal is not to get an interview date as my priority date is not yet current, I just want the EAD. So honestly there’s nothing else for me to do but wait

any luck anyone?

Nope

No
