Thread: EB2-3 Predictions (Rather Calculations)

  1. #1326
    For folks who have received their EAD+AP combo card, is it necessary for the I-131 status to change or if just your I-765 status saying "card being produced" implies it is infact the combo card that's being produced. Asking this because I read that I-131 status when filed together with I-765 and I-485 is less reliable. Thoughts?

    Based the past experiences, the online updates are all over the place. Please wait till you receive the I765 (EAD) card to see if it has AP too. In the past I have tried to decode the online messages, however USCIS has its own ways of creating unique situations. It is not worth it to worry about this. Just have some patience. I know it is hard, I probably did the same thing that you are doing.

    As a good news, a friend of mine got a 1 year EAD+AP card approval without any online updates showing up for I-131 application.

    Thanks! I'm not worried. It was a general clarification. Guess we have been here long enough to appreciate how USCIS works in its own mysterious ways

    that is correct. USCIS updates 131 status little late after card production, you will see approval updates for both 131,765 in a day or 2, then card emailed with usps tracking on 765 in couple of days. The cards are combo with one year validity ��

    Bingo...Just now our 765/131 statuses both changed to "case was approved".

    All those who had recently filed I485 and first time EAD/AP, take a look at the EAD/AP thread so that you can prepare for the next steps. I just updated it with a renewal guide.

    Comments are welcome so that we can keep improving continuously.

    Is there anyone who filed in Oct 2020 and yet to see their checks cashed? Let alone get receipt notices?

    If you are with the same employer that you filed I485 with, then it doesn't matter if you are working on EAD or H1B. Switching to EB3 process remains the same (via new I-140 I think).
    If you switch employers, then you need to file a new Perm and I-140 and then switch to Eb3.

    Yes, waiting patiently. Submitted on October 29 and no sign of Receipt or checks. Not sure how long this is going to take and if for Receipts we have to wait for 3 months then I wonder how they are going to utilize the spillover before September 2021.

    I am in the same boat. My application was filed on 10/29 and sent to Lewisville lockbox. Learned this week from my employer that the checks are yet to be cashed. Our company immigration lawyer has told us that I-140/485s delivered to the lockbox on Oct 26/27th are yet to be opened. In fact, no filing fee checks have been cashed by the Lockbox since December 31st.

    Can't do anything but just wait and be patient.

    It would be interesting to see what the received date on the notice will be.
    If it is a January date, its reason to be quite pissed!

    Don't worry about the Received date. USCIS honors the date when it is received by lockbox.

    Be patient. I can understand it will be nervous, reciept number will be good, to calmeveryone, i see pattern that down grade applications started getting reciepts after straight applications, probably to match to I-140( i m guessing this reason). So reciepts are coming late fot downgrades. I see october 27th folks getting reciepts.. so yours should come soon.

    Onething to keep in mind last week on october too many people applied, so for sane date few people reciepts might be delayed too.. hang in there , it will come soon .. wishing everyone gets reciepts soon..

    My attorney was a bit pissed at me because she wanted to get the application in on Oct 1. She thought first that we need to submit everything but later decided that it would be better to get it in without medicals to avoid even a few days delay. By then I had decided I wanted to submit a 'complete' application with medicals and the clinic screwed up the blood draw which cost us extra days and we finally sent it out on Oct. 8 but she warned me we were playing with fire and there are going to be unimaginable delays. Tough to see a lot of people in limbo losing sleep over this for months now... hopefully they will catch up to the processing and maybe new Admin will allocate extra resources to handle the load.

    I could not see anyone from TSC. Do you know people from TSC getting RFE's? If TSC is sending RFE's then I will believe. Please remember that NSC already did one or two rounds of RFEs for all pending EB2I's till May 2010.

    Anyone knows why USCIS pulls the filing date back?? The date was kept for OCT and NOV. Ppl filed and will get EAD's, they will not get GC's till final date comes. Its not like if '1-JAN-2015' filing date is still there in Jan 2021 new ppl with 2014 date will be born and will file. Whoever wanted to file would have filed in OCT/NOV.
