Mine too =) High five! Can you legally work with the EAD approval notice or must we wait another 30 effing days for the card to arrive in the mail before job searching? This is especially touchy be

Well here we go!

I just sent my application through USPS after having worked my butt off to make sure every document and form is in there.

I haven't hired an immigration lawyer to do it... Sort of expensive. But I think -- hope -- I got it right.

I thought it would be a relief to finally send it, since there is not much one can do once it's in the mail. But it'll still be hard not to worry!!

Good luck to all of you!! :)

Our Timeline:

08/01/2009: Both Marc and I arrived in Seattle, WA. (Anaïs on a J-1 Visa until March 20th, 2010.)

08/13/2009: We arrived in Berkeley, CA and moved in our current apartment.

09/25/2009: After 5 years together, we get married!

02/07/2010: Marc gets a big promotion and his salary is doubled: this is too big of a career opportunity for him: we decide to stay in the US.

02/08/2010: We start to work on getting a AOS application together.

03/07/2010: We send the application via USPS to the Chicago Lockbox.

03/10/2010: Application delivered in Chicago, 1:50 pm.

03/17/2010: Series of USCIS notification of acceptance e-mails received.

03/18/2010: Checks cashed this morning.

03/22/2010: All 4 NOA-1 received!

04/12/2010: Biometrics appointment at 12.00 at the Oakland, CA support center today. Everything went smoothly.

04/30/2010: Interview letter received in the mail! We had had no news and no touch since April 13th so the letter was unexpected!

05/14/2010: AOS and I-130 touched.

05/17/2010: AOS, I-130, I-131, and I-765 touched.

05/17/2010: Two confirmation e-mails received: AP and EAP approved!

06/01/2010: EAD card received today in the mail!

06/02/2010: AOS interview in San Francisco.

06/04/2010: AOS confirmation e-mail received!! Card production ordered!

I sent my AOS application on Feb 28th and it was delivered to the Chicago Lockbox on March 1st. So I guess that technically makes me a March AOS filer. My checks haven't been cashed yet, but I'm hoping I'll receive the NOA's in a day or two.... fingers crossed :)

Good luck everyone :thumbs:

I've always wondered, how do you find out when your NOA1 date is other than getting it in the mail?

My father asked me why I didn't use a lawyer. I told him. "i'm not paying someone to fill out forms for me that I can eventually figure out how to do on my own." I don't understand having the lawyers either. However with out this site we may have had to. But to have this site really makes for no need for the lawyer when you can gain so much insight and tips on this entire process from people who have actually gone through it.
