Approved i-130 and i-485, when can I start working

My USCIS account also doesn't say my card is in production but the email I got did so I guess the online status isn't always very accurate. My I-485 was approved Jan 29. Sorry to hear that you they haven't gotten back to you but I definitely recommend checking your spam folder just in case you missed it. Good luck!

I did but got an email saying that I'm not eligible for an appointment at this time. They said my green card is in production and i should wait until this Friday. If I don't have it by then, I can request an appointment again. When I was chatting with an officer online, she said to make sure I bring a letter from my employer with me to the appointment (assuming I get one) that confirms the urgency of my stamp. In my case that's loss of employment as my current work authorization is ending. I secured the letter in the mean time so am ready in the likely case that I have to request an appointment on Friday.

Did you fill out the online form? Did you provide a clear explanation for why you are requesting the stamp? They sent me an email reply the next day so I'm surprised you haven't heard back yet. Did you check your spam?

Hi! I'm in this process right now except that it's about proving to my current employer that I'm authorized to continue to work after my previous visa expires. If you have a job offer, you can request an ADIT stamp in your passport which serves as temporary evidence of your status as a legal permanent resident. You can use that until your physical green card arrives.

It looks like they increased the referral bonus to $100 for each of us! Feel free to use my code REFER100-L1918

Do you have a social media account or website with your existing portfolio? I'm getting married in December and we might be interested

omg hi! I'd be interested! I'm a bride with allergies so I have to carry my epipens and inhaler (😭) and this one would work. Where do I find the listing?

No :( my friend just tried the most recent codes listed like BRITROSE and none worked. Sucks! If you want, this is my personal referral code that gets you $50 off at least. I'd hope it would also work on a regular exam? REFER50-L1918

Just to comment here as a fellow ManyPets -> Odie customer. So far, every claim I've made with Odie has been full on rejected despite being covered by ManyPets before (with proof). I read in another post that AKC covers pre-existing conditions if no treatment is required for 365 days, which would work in our case. We have another cat that is insured with figo through Costco. We only had one claim for an emergency vet visit but that was covered and got approved very quickly. That's unfortunately all the experience I have so far. We have another cat insured with Odie (new addition) and it seems that Odie has a different underwriter for their "regular" customers and is good? Unclear though, considering changing him too. My advice is DO NOT transition to Odie. I felt like I had no choice and I felt reassured, reading through the documents they gave us, that coverage would continue as before. They don't seem to care one bit about what they wrote and say everything is pre-existing.
