Hey guys,

I just came back from an InfoPass appointment at the District Office in Chicago.

Background:

We filed for my Adjustment of Status in May 2005, had my fingerprints taken July 2005 and we had our AOS

interview June 6th 2006 where the officer said that she will further review our case. We were not separated or anything and our interview went quite smooth for the most part. The only "issue" that the officer had was that we did not have the birth certificates of our children with us ( i am the step-father ).

We then never received any update in regards to the case.

So we went to the InfoPass today to see if there was any update and also to ask about my expiring EAD ( Sep. 1st). The officer said that as long as I apply before the expiration of my EAD for a renewal, I can continue working while the renewal is being processed as they will look at it that I applied for it in good faith believing that our AOS would have been decided by then.

Has anybody heard that before ?

That's a load of sh**! But, unfortunately, it seems you will have no choice but to apply to renew your EAD. Even though my husband's kids are in their 20's, we took copies of their birth certificates to the interview (never got asked for it, but you never know....). You may want to consider getting your senator involved. All the best :)
