Card Being Produced

Today I received great news. My card EAD (C09) is being produced. Is it a combo card? I don’t know because my I 131 status remains the same ‘ case was transferred to Vermont’ I must say I reached out to my local congressman office last week, they put in my request and today a representative called me stating that USCIS said my signature isn’t the same and I needed to send a copy of my passport. I did that immediately and a hour later I saw a the notification ‘New Card Is Being Produced’ God came through for me, time and again he’s there. I’m truly grateful. I can work and move around while waiting 🙌

Combo card being produced after 120 days! 🎉

Last week I called USCIS to check for status. I used Emma to place a request for more information on my case, the live chat officer refused to give me any info so I asked her to place an expedited request case for my EAD. I had already asked many times and been rejected. She placed the request and luckily this time round it was accepted, the asked for more info and documentation to prove loss of economic opportunity and I sent emails showing I’m interviewing for a new role. I sent that on Thursday and seems it worked, EAD was approved on Friday! Parole approved today! New card is being produced! 🚥

Green Card

Today I had my interview for my I-485. It went well and after a couple hours I received an uldate “New Card is being produced”. I understood that I got approved but I contacted USCIS with a question and they told me that in their end it is still pending. Should I be concerned? #DV #I-485 #GreenCard
