San Jose Field Office I-20 expired in early August; ended up using EAD to continue to work. did not apply for OPT. Thanks!

Congratulations! what is your block number - MSCXXXXXX (first 6 numbers after the 3 letters)?

@late bloomer were you on day1 cpt if you didn’t apply for opt and how were you able to work before you got your ead?

@Timmy O thanks! block no: MSC239031

@olu mikk I was working as a research associate on my F-1 until August. after that chose to use approved GC EAD for employment until AOS decision

congratulations 🎊, I submitted my i485 June 22 2022 😃

for how long your cas was pending before approval (CRP) ? @late bloomer.

@Black Matter I did not have a case remains pending status whatsoever. it was showing fingerprint added to case since March and luckily got approved within a couple days after PD became current

thanks @BC G & @Green Green

did you send your medical exams with the I485 package? My timeline is pretty similar to yours and same office and close block, but I’m still waiting to send the medical.

even my PD is June 2022, and I also got I140 approved in the end of November

@Li S yes I did send the medical exams with the AOS package. hoping your case gets approved soon 🤞🏽

so you filed AOS but it was not current?

@Art K when I filed AOS ( March 23 ), it was current but became non current in April. luckily September visa bulletin made it current again and subsequent approval early September

@Li S I have the same timeline as you and I am waiting for RFE to submit medicals

@Bhagirath Ghimire I’m waiting as well. Hope we have this step done soon 🙏🙏🙏
