OPT to AOS based EAD
I am currently on OPT which expires in Jan 2026, and eligible for STEM OPT.
I currently have a pending I485 and I765
I have done my biometrics already and waiting for decision.
I am thinking of abandoning my OPT if I get my EAD pending AOS Card and use the new card.
would this be okay? or I can use both ?
A call from USCIS
I received a phone call from USCIS today. About a month ago, I submitted an expedite request for my VAWA case since it’s been three years and two months with no update. Then, just this past Sunday, I sent an email to the VAWA office following up on the request.
This morning, while I was at work, I got a call from “USCIS” — that’s exactly what appeared on my phone screen, but no number was shown. My heart dropped when I saw it. I answered, and the officer asked me to verify my name, address, my parents’ names, case number, and the date I filed my VAWA. She said they had received both my expedite request and my request for an online access code, and that the access code would be mailed to me within three days. (That part confused me.)
I immediately called my lawyer, who mentioned that USCIS usually calls only when someone requests an online access code — though I don’t recall making that request. I also asked about the parole fee and whether it applies to me as a VAWA applicant. The officer said , “If you receive payment instructions in the mail or online, follow the payment instructions and just pay.” But I’m confused because other lawyers, including mine previously, said the parole fee doesn’t apply to VAWA applicants.
Has anyone else recently received a phone call from USCIS regarding an online access code or an expedite request?

Received an email "Action taken on your case"
I-485 Approval Pending, EAD+AP combo received few months back. I received an email from USCIS saying an action taken on Oct 31st. it appears to be a AP fee notice upload. My question is it purely an admin update to upload the letter or is it because my file was picked up and system triggered as they are taking necessary actions on my I-485 application.
Email received - Oct 31st
Doc attached - Nov 1st (AP Fee Notice)
Case remains to be under processing with Interview waived off on May 9th 2025. the application is being processed in NBC. Any comments would be appreciated.

GRENEED AFTER 5 YEARS 💚💚
Today my Green Card journey finally comes to an end! The officer at RDJ consulate didn’t seem very familiar with my case, a VAWA self-petition, but everything went well, thank God!
I’m so grateful for everyone who helped me along the way. May God give you strength and may His will be done in your life, just as it was in mine.
questions ❓❓❓
so we filed another case after first was denied and appeal not responded to. I looked at my case progress today for the i-485 it states that step 3 is completed and the current step is case decision does this mean I won't have an interview? estimated time is 15 months
for the EAD. its current step is case decision with estimated time of 3 months for decision . they refused my biometrics.
my questions are:
1. will I have to attend another interview? I already had one with our first filing and
2. are the estimated times real expectation?
3. anyone who file before and had an approved EAD how long did it take to have the EAD approved on second filing if they rescued biometrics?
thank you in advance.
green card approved after hard interview!
Glory be to God! This journey has finally come to an end.
yesterday’s interview was really hard. But today Lawfully alerted me that a decision has been made and my case has been approved!
Glory be to God!
if you are going through your Vawa journey , don’t give up. I filed- Jan 2022 & - approval came November 2025, Don’t give up, trust in God! The Days are long, but we serve a God who keeps his promise.
