Hi guys,

I am British and am married to my American husband .
One of our checks bounced for the payment of our I-130 and as a result our filing date for AOS was readjusted to November 5th. I know that I have to wait 90 days from that date till I get my EAD but I was wondering if it is also 90 days for the I-131 travel document ? (which I applied for with I-130).
Do you think the check bouncing may cause the wait for both EAD and I-131 to exceed 90 days?

Appreciate any advice.

Rete

You didn't apply for an EAD (I-765) or advance parole (I-131) with the I-130. Those petitions are based on the I-485. If your check was bounced and your new date is November 5, 2009 then you count from that date onward.

Have you received your notice for biometrics yet?

Hi,

I had my biometrics at the end of October last year.
Thanks for clarifying that the EAD and AP are based on I-485.

I just checked my I-485 status online actually and it said that they received the response for request for evidence December 16th and that I should receive an update/decision within 60 days.
Does that effect how soon I will receive my AP?
How long does the AP usually take? Does it necessarily come with the EAD?
I have been waiting just over 60 days for both?


My I765 and I131 are shown online to be at initial review stage but my I-485 is at the request for evidence stage.
I kind of figured they would be at the same stage since they are based on I-485???
Is the online case status even accurate?

Thanks so much

1. The EAD and the AP do not arrive together.

2. It typically takes about 60 days to get AP in hand.

3. It typically takes about 90 days to get EAD in hand.

4. If you have an RFE on your case, those processing dates can get extended.

5. The online case status is sometimes accurate, sometimes not.

Thanks,

Guess I have to just play the waiting game.
On what grounds can your AP be expedited?

Noorah101

Almost none...but...

Perhaps if you had an immediate relative who is dying, you can try bringing proof in person and ask for an expedited AP. Bring doctor's report, hospital report, letters from the doctor stating how much time he/she has left, etc.

Otherwise, for any other reason, I'd say impossible.

Ok, thanks for the info.

L_D,

Only to the extent that if the adjustment of status is approved before the advance parole is approved then the advance parole may never be approved, because it will no longer be applicable to you.

Got it.
Thanks Jeff.
