GC approved, NBC, Mount Laurel NJ FO
Hi all,
Finally got approved yesterday. It took pretty much exactly 9months, which was the “middle of the curve” when looking at the probability bars of the I-485 for NBC, so no surprises, neither pleasant nor unpleasant.
Some additional points:
- I got my EAD about 3 months ago, without AP, no combo card.
- I got a “notice of intent to deny” as we had not submitted the bona fide evidence as we expected to bring that to the interview.
So we sent it, very quickly after that (a few days) we got the RFE for the medical exam. When I sent the medical I-693, its receipt was confirmed the same day as it was delivered by UPS to USCIS.
- Two days later the case was approved. (Interview waived.) Mount Laurel NJ Field Office. (My case must have gotten transferred from Newark FO.)
- I never inquired or asked to expedite my case or talked to Emma.
- AP still pending, so I wouldn’t count on getting it before the GC, but I read about some people on here who are getting combo cards, but was not the case for me.
For me, it helped to focus on the dailiy activities and not think about it every day and to not check this app all the time.
Hold tight everyone and wishing you the best!

Can I apply for OPT while pending I-765 based on I-485?
Hi, I applied for a work permit through a marriage-based green card on November 28th, 2022, and I just now realized that it might take 15 months to get approved (compared to the 4-6 months I initially thought).
I am graduating in May and am interviewing for jobs right now. I am terrified of staying off I-20 status, and not being able to work (+ not being able to drive). Can I apply for an OPT (4-week estimated wait time) while I have a pending I-765 based on marriage?
I read somewhere that it could give confusing/opposing intent as one is an immigrant while the other is a non-immigrant, but I also read that the worst case would be the denial of OPT but no effect on the green card process whatsoever. Some have even said they have done so successfully. Your thoughts???
Thank you!!!! I am so stressed right now...

I765 c9, EAD Extension
can someone share any thoughts or experiences about how long did it take for you receive EAD extension approval under c9? Is getting approval for extension faster than getting the first EAD?
I see processing times at immigration centers which spans 11.5 to 18.5 months depending on which centers, but there is no category to choose c9 extension.
thank you #I765 #EAD
Received Notice Stating I am eligible for EAD extension
Hi everyone, as the title states, I filed for EAD for the first time with concurrently filed TPS application on February 2nd. Received biometrics appt for 10 March and before my biometrics I received an email saying I’m eligible to work with or without the card and a notice will be sent to me before 13 March week.
I received the notice on 9th March and I’m confused bc it says “automatic extension for EAD” but this is my first time applying for EAD. Could the notice be a mistake they sent to me? #EAD #TPS
I-360 VAWA finally approved after 9 years journey, need advice
My journey started in 2014. Fast forward to early 2020 when I decided to apply for VAWA because things didn't work out as it should.
I had my EAD every year renewed while I was waiting. However, due to COVID the extension renewal didn't come in time last year so I got laid off and unemployeed since Aug 2022. Reached out to congresswomen and filing for expedite didn't help either.
__________________________________
Today my I-360 after 3 years, finally got approved! With that, the approval letter says that my EAD will be sent to me seperately.
I am not celebrating yet because I don't have the green card in my hands yet.
The whole point of this post is to ask others who are in similar position: What's next? How long is the waiting time for the actual interview? And how difficult is the interview process?

I130 approved..I485 pending
Hi everyone!
I applied for AOS through marriage in September 2022. I filled I130 and I485 concurrently. Yesterday, I received a notification that my I130 was approved. I haven't received any updates regarding I485 nor the interview, yet. Today I received an RFE for the Medical Exam to be completed before May. Has anyone had a situation like this? I have always thought that I would need to take my Medical Exam form to the interview, and that I130 is approved only after the interview. Thanks In advance. #i485 #i130 #ead
