October 2012 AOS Filers

[chrismanilyn 4]

Congratulations chrismanilyn! I put in a request with my senator's office last week, so I hope that will get results for us too. Did you see a change in your status online, or did the letter come out of the blue? (Just curious because I check the online status obsessively.)

no text, no email...just happened to check online like i did every day (sometimes 2 x daily!)...the letter came within 4 days and the cards another 3 days

I checked the online case status today (which since February had been stuck on "Testing and Interview"), and lo and behold we'd skipped straight to "Card/Document Production"! I almost fell out of my chair.

Hi all!

I just found this forum...I wish I would have seen it months ago. From what it looks like, we might be the last people waiting!

We filed for AOS October 1, 2012. We received the EAD and AP in November of 2012. We received a request for additional evidence in August of 2013 from the Milwaukee office and send in our evidence at the end of August 2013. It has now been over a year and we have still not received the green card and at the end of November, my husband's work permit and AP will expire. I am afraid we are going to have to file for the EAD extension asap!! Does anyone else have any experience with the Milwaukee office? Should I be calling the USCIS as there are also no updates posted for our case on the website nor automated case status? Any help or advice is appreciated!! Thanks.

Reapply for a combo card, which you can do for free.

Call USCIS and talk to a Tier2 to put in a service request. I would go further and make an info pass and inquire directly at the office.

Just wanted to share some news for anyone still waiting. We mailed our AOS packet October 21 2012 and had a receive date of November 1, 2012. Did the biometrics and got the EAD Card on 12-26-12 (did not apply for AP card because we hoped to get the GC before the summer, needless to say that didnt happen). On July 10, 2013 we received an RFE in the mail (no text or email) and mailed it back on August 20th (again no text or email to confirm they received), After waiting the 60 days after responding to the RFE and having no news, we called and spoke to a Tier 2 who put in a service request for us. One week later we received an email that our case was still being processed. Finally, an email came in last night that the card has been sent to production. Weirdly enough our status went back to "decision" today and we received the email that my status had been updated to permanent resident. So all in all 1 year and two weeks later, our case has been approved. Good luck to anyone still waiting!

Great news, we are still waiting as well.
