AOS - March 2009 Thread.

[sasaqlain 24]

You should be receiving your EAD soon. Apply for SSN the very same day. Start off with the Learners permit as well. Get a copy from the DMV office or visit the online DMV site from your State and go through the online tests.

Hi

I just received the Advance Parole (I-512L, Authorization for Parole of an Alien Into the United States).

I am still unable to see something on the USCIS Case Online.

I have a question regarding the I-512L paper itself: on the right lower corner should be any stamp? I do not have any. I have that dry stamp (that type of stamp that has no ink; it just leaves marks on the paper) but it's on my picture.

Can somebody describe me how other papers are?

Are there any risks getting in/out of US using it? I did not overstay; my I-94 expiry was March 19, 2009 and i sent the papers on March 2nd.

Thanks

Congrats Dracosa on the AP. I didnt apply for an AP as i had a overstay. But then I dnt really know how it affects.............personally through my research, you shd nt have any trouble getting back with the AP unless you have a overstay. I wd expect some more imputs here.

So your AP came almost 1 month 16 days after your biometrics. Hope my EAD comes this week.

i just received the letter for initial interview on June 10th. Kind of scrared when it is so fast.

My timetable:

03/27/09 NOA for I-485, I 131, I 130 and I765.

04/18/09 Biometrix done

04/30/09 NOA for initial interview... Scared and nervous now

Congrats Tommy&Emma! You are indeed lucky. Just be prepared and dont sweat too much about it. Too much pressure, leads you to making silly mistakes. Curious to know, if you were here on a K visa or?......

dracoasa: You probably received two AP letters just as I did. The stamp box remains empty untill you plan on traveling and the Immigration officer will stamp them when you are leaving the port of exit. He will retain one copy and give you the other one. Even I don't have an overstay, but from what I have read, my conclusion is to wait it out and not use the AP unless its absolutely necessary. They can create problems on your re-entry if they want to. Apparently, having an AP doesn't give us the RIGHT to be allowed back in. Hope that helped:)

I just got my interview letter too!!! Is on June 25 2009. I am so excited and nervous too. I am not sure what papers I should bring with me either.

[christera22 8]

wow congrats Tuchy ..... you got it in like 20 days after ur biometrics..... U r really lucky ....... I am waiting for the postman everyday for something.... EAD or Interview letter or may be both together. It has been 1 month 3 days after biometrics.

Thank you, yours must be on the way too; as we see, is like no logic in this AOS process. I was thinking being from Vermont , being a small state they moved faster, but also in San Diego and Phoenix, they moved fast too. So who knows why.

Thanks! Everyone! I did not expect it would move so fast either. I did not even have my EAD and AP yet.

What gets me nervous is that Tommy and I are normally not living together. He started his business in China after we got married and I am still studying for my degrees in US. He comes to see me several times a year. We do have joint tax return, joint accounts. I do not know what else I can provide to say: we are real married. We ahve been married for 4 years now.

Anybody have good idea about that? Thanks! God bless us!

Ever since I filed my paperwork, I've been avoiding to check my cases online because a lot of people haven't been able to and been really worried about it. Case Status Online is not very accurate. They don't update it very often at all. But I couldn't resist the urge to check it (even though I knew my cases wouldn't show up), so I've been checking it almost everyday for a while. Just now, I checked it again, thinking that my cases wouldn't show up. To my surprise, it showed that my EAD card production was ordered yesterday! Yay! I-485 or I-130 is still not online. Well, at least I know I'll receive my EAD card in the mail soon. I am so glad because my current one will expire on the 22nd of this month! Phew. I'm so relieved.

After reading Anslesis post at midnight, i went and checked my online status and saw the I-765 case showing online and Card production ordered. Yayyyy !!! I-130 & I-485 is as usual not available onbline. Anslesis you must be lucky for me .... Now any idea how long it takes to reach you after you see the online status of the EAD ??

Hopefully i will get the interview letter soon too !! Thank God !!

I got the e-mail from USCIS saying that my EAD card is on the way too. I am so relieved too. It seems like it goes really fast for everyone, which is a good thing!

Hi Tommy&Emma, so after seeing my status online i went and registered in the USCIS profile area and updated with my receipt number. So do they send you an email after u have registered online ? Thanks

Yes, i did register for e-mail notice and I got an e-mail from them comfirming it. I also jsut found out they approved my AP and sent it out three days ago. I bet yours is coming on the way too.

Wish all of us good luck!

First time posting, but I've been lurking for a while.

My wife just got our interview notice: June 8 in San Diego. USCIS received our packet on 3/29 (NOA1 4/3) and my wife's biometrics appointment was on 4/23. Can't believe our interview is only a month away! This is happening so fast!
