I got a status update on my EAD today saying, USPS delivered your card today. However, I did not receive the card in mail today. Do I need to panic or wait for a day or so? :)

I guess this does call for a little panic since USCIS updates the 'card delivered' message after a considerable amount of time (anywhere from 12-24 hours) after it is actually delivered. You might want to call their 1-800 number to check up on that.Quote:

Congrats selfcoach! Do you plan to expand your coaching services beyond yourself since you have the EAD now?;)Quote:

"I have a follow up a question. Applied for my wifes SSN and recieved it. She is moving from ITIN to SSN. During tax filing when using her SSN to efile (turbotax) asked me for last year AGI. I used the AGI from last year for both but got my filing rejected. I googled the issue and some indicate that they used $0.00 for spouse AGI and Last years AGI for self and it went through. Others indicate that they still got rejected. Does any one here attempted to e-file after switching from ITIN to SSN? How did you address this issue."
I'm actually happy that they are retrogressing the dates. Hopefully, at least then, they'll process applications of all those that are left-over in the previous months. My only question is why not retrogress the dates in April? They could have very well done that. Apparently, TSC is still processing applications from June 2011. So, when there is such a bad back-log and limited quota, I don't see a reason why they didn't move the dates in April. They recognized that the movements/approvals trend was unsustainable and yet decided to keep the dates at the existing level instead of retrogressing them.Quote:

I got my RFE. The same RFE for my husband tooo...
They asked us for BirthCertificate, Marriage certificate and Flu Vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, meningococcal vaccine and HepA.
My doctor told me that she will not give me pneumococcal vaccine as there is no need for me. But, as we said its for immigration then they are wondering why they need this?
The clinical surgeon who has prepared I693 is asking, why are they specifying all these... which are not needed and she has shown us the chart, in which it says, it's not needed for our age.
Reg: my Birth Certificate, I've the original which has been registered 2 years ago and my husband got it from the Indian consulate, so we got his birth certificate ready from India.
It's like they printed the same RFE for both of us...:confused:

Take a letter along with 693 from doctor mentioning the same reasons you mentioned... might be they didnt accept your BC's which caused them to issue RFE for other age related vaccines... my 2 cents...
i always encourage all my friends and everybody else to put 3 affidavits in all cases... it wont hurt...
Thank you Soggadu
I've included two affidavits one from my father and one from my uncle, this time I'll include the affidavit from my mother too...Quote:

Thanks. I think turbotax asked for her AGI(she is switching from ITIN to SSN). Which I used from last years agi. So the suggestion is use (0) for her Agi and I should be good to go.
I went to the local IRS office and asked them to link the ITIN to SSN but they asked me to mail the document and said they do not have access from local office to merge the two. But advised to use SSN for tax filing.

Do 485 and EAD have independent timelines? I got my FP notice and later got RFE(2 photo) for EAD. For 485 they got the finger prints and digital photo. Why should they ask for photos after they have my digital photo? So will 485 processing time get affected due to RFE on EAD?
Kanmani, Manzoorraza, Usernameisnotvalid - am able to see the status of 485 online today, it shows 'Acceptance'..you guys also pls check!

My understanding is that the two timelines are separate. Your RFE on EAD should not affect your 485 processing time.

Mine is not available but it seems it will be available soon.
BTW I was talking to my attorney today and he said it is not completely impossible that you will get your GC by Apr 30th. It seems now it is totally luck - who picks your file, how straightforward your case is etc etc.
He also said that since I applied on 1st Feb and haven't heard back from them so it implies Background check, name checks are all fine.
