looks like june filers got a alot of approvals ha?

congrats to all!!!

still waiting.....no news is better than bad news

8/07 Met on myspace.

5/7/08 Married in Indonesia.

6/4/08 Sent I-130

6/11/08 I-130 received by Vermont service Center.

6/11/10 Received NOA from Vermont.

12/17/08 Touched and placed on hold. (Request For Evidence)

1/12/09 mailed requested evidence 2 Vermont

1/28/09 I-130 APPROVED!

2/9/09 AOS bill received and payed on line the same day.

Never received I-864 package (they don't mail them out anymore I had to take it all from NVC website)

2/20/09 completed and mailed DS-3032

((Some time lapsed because of wrong addresses and documents lost in the mail)) ARRRHG! :-(

3/13/09 Return completed I-864.

3/21/09 Received IV Bill.

3/22/09 Paid IV Bill $400.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USCIS is unnecessary and a complete freaking waste of everybody's time. What did they do other than waste 7 months of our time and take money?-- because I now have to resubmit the exact same damn information(plus some) to NVC. Apparently there is no connection between USCIS and NVC so USCIS cant simply send our documents to NVC. I was happy to get approved by USCIS but now the process starts all over again only with more complications. Maybe someday I can meet these people in person and thank them face to face for f**ing up almost everything so far. Addresses incorrectly copied, email address repeatedly typed in wrong, names misspelled, ECT, ECT, ECT.

Hows about mandatory drug testing for all who are employed at NVC? All in favor?

Rin and the children received their EAD cards in the mail yesterday. They were issued on 8/19; the form they were affixed to was dated 8/23.

We never received an e-mail notification. Not suprising as today I checked the case status online and it still had all four EAD's shown as last action on 7/16 (biometrics) and the application still pending. Guess they aren't real great at getting everything on the website updated.

Nothing good has happened for us. We did get an RFE in July, which we replied to quickly. We also received an acknowledgement of our change of address early this month. So I'm guessing those are the reasons our case is delaying. My wife really needs that EAD and AP like last month.

I still haven't figured out what this AOS process is all about. Why in the world would they permit her to come here, but not allow her to leave the country or work? How does that help the U.S. at all? They just feel like making people suffer a bit more than is necessary?

USCIS is trying to make sure your "fiance"/ spouse is here permanently, thats why you filed for an AOS or adjustment of status to the US... Know what you are geting yourself if you want to complain. If people go back and forth without proper visas, entry permits, then anyone would find ways to "fake" a document. Everything has to be documented properly as visas are limited or the US would be just as populated as China... and have more "terrorist" wandering around the US... Yes its lots of red tape, but Ill take that red tape if it means to be more "safe" in the US.

I'm not sure I agree with your theory, or see if it applies to the EAD. People with work visas are able to start right away, so why not K visas? They have already gone through security checks and an interview and a lot of red tape to get to the AOS stage. I agree that it seems unnecessary. I'm fine with the gov't taking time to issue the actual greencard and having waiting limitations for citizenship -- there they are making sure that the immigrant does indeed have a permanent intent. But for the K, I don't see any rational reason to make the person wait on working and travelling.
