AOS Filers October 2009

[simbafuzz 0]

Their averages are:

Transfer to AOS approval: 43 days (7 approvals)

NOA to AOS approval: 64 days (11 approvals which includes 4 approvals after interviews)

Tomorrow, 11/30/09, is 45 days since 10/16/09, the date that HeatDeath and jokalu were transferred to CSC (the first Oct filers transferred). The next four transferred on 10/21 (including you). It does seem that CSC has slowed down a little.

Greg

Thank you! It is so awesome to see some sanity in here from ppl like you Greg! ... I am closely watching HeatDeath and Jokalu... come on guys!! Praying for all of us...

should i be worried..there are no touches for my AP and EAD...

and i had my bio last nov 18 but no more updates anymore and i can see in the timeliness from others, they have their EAD and AP already..how sad

Hey mhaze, You shouldn't be worried. i did my biometrics on nov 13 and still now i haven't got my EAD card. were almost in the same situation. waiting and waiting.... Lets just hope this week will be good to us.

yeah i hope so.. we dont have any choice but just to wait...

Same sentiments had my walk-in FP Nov3rd Nothing in the mail today... will see what happens this week. the waiting is making me anxious.

Guys check this out -- I called USCIS and before I got to talk to a representative, the automated machine said that they mailed out something to me on novermber 27, 2009 but it was undeliverable so it was sent back to the post office. So then i got transferred to a representative and he asked for my I485 receipt number so then I gave it to him. Then i asked what it is that mailed out to me on Nov 27, 2009.. so he said okay and puts me on hold.. He got back on the phone and said "okay sir we haven't sent anything to you since your biometric letter and i know you've already done your biometric appointment so you don't need to worry. next thing you will receive is your EAD card which you will get in the mail, THE LATEST IS JANUARY."

hhmmm. really? I didn't wanna ask why January because I didn't wanna look like i'm in a hurry. Sucks for me I have to wait another month to receive the EAD card. hopefully I get the approval soon though.

Btw, on my case status online, the last update was Nov 16, 2009 which was 3 days after my biometric appointment.

you should call back and give your receipt number for i765 the employment. When I called about my biometrics they asked for my 485 receipt number and said that they had not sent anything to me (at the time I was waiting for biometrics) I then called back and this time gave my I 765 receipt number and was told my biometrics was mailed out. Just a thought.

I got an update for 485 but nothing for EAD/AP.

Well I did give them a call back and they told me the same thing.. I will receive my EAD throughout January.

I am hoping they just gave you an "estimated" date to play it safe. Honestly speaking being in the dark till january feels like eternity. I have interviews scheduled in january as I anticipated by then will have my EAD in hand and get my DL renewed. This news is a wake up call!!

Hakuna, Yes thats what I was thinking as well. They just told me that because that is the estimated time for EAD. I am not worrying much at all. I was just surpsised when they told me that.

Djohn, hopefully you will get it soon. I had my bio on 19th and had one touch the 20th. Praying for good news for everyone

Seems a lot of us are waiting for touches/letters/updates. At least we are not waiting alone!

Thanks simbafuzz! We're all waiting....I guess each of us deal with it in our own way. Not much news today. But I expect lots of updates during the week.

Good luck everyone!

[Kevin&Leilei 1]

Lots of touches for us lately. Maybe they're actually doing something.

[minnew 4]

Another touch on 485 today!! Fifth one since transfer to CSC!!

Would really like to see touches on EAD too!!
