Hi guys,
just wanted to tell you all that I got approved on 8/18/2014!
I received my approval letter 8/21 and my EAD on 8/25
not RFE bc I sent all my transcripts from 4th grade to my most recent college semester.
I was afraid they would deny me bc of my juvinile record but they didn't.. it did take a long time compared to others though...
BTW I applied 1/12/2014
went to my bio-metricts on 2/19/2014
did my first e request on 7/28 and received an email saying this:
We have received your inquiry stating that you believe your case is beyond our projected processing times. USCIS makes every effort to process cases within the projected timeframes and in the order in which they were received; however, your case has not cleared all required security checks at this time. We cannot provide a specific date on which a final decision will be made on your case. We hope this information is helpful and appreciate your continued patience.

then I was approved on 8/18/2014!!!
