August 2014 AOS filers

[JeanF 32]

what is the number to call for updates?

I called. 1 (800) 375-5283.

The prompts are relatively easy to follow.. I went in as if I was requesting info on a specific case, put in the case number and the dude basically just reads exactly what you see when you check the status on the website. However, at the end he will say something along the lines of "If you have questions about this case and wish to speak to CS rep press blah".

You should def call. Best of luck <3

Definitely seems like a noob move.

Best of luck! You should hear something soon.

I don't think I attached my marriage license to the i765.. It looks like that's the only file that was touched so they may need it? Can't think of anything I missed really.. we went through the package like 10x each before submission.

Also, processing times for RFE don't seem to be very quick.. I'll probably talk to my manager tomorrow and start training someone to do my work.

Kinda really scared right now >.>

I'm very sorry to hear about your RFE.

Have you tried calling FBI about your fingerprints?

Consider contacting a congressperson, if local doesn't work, go for neighboring congress people. Congress reps have the power to contact the person handling your case directly. If none of these work, I can give you the number of the congress rep that helped me out.

We are here for you, try not to be scared

oh and this is what was included with my i 765:

Blue folder. Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization

- Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance

- Form I-765

- Copy of passport

- I-94

- Form I-20

But that was my first and only EAD though.

I am so happy for you. We had our Bio on the same day. We should have ours any day now. Good luck to you all

Hi everyone! Pleased to announce my husband's EAD just got approved today!

Congrats to you and to all those who have some progress. Nothing moving with my application... there's a backlog at Nebraska probably. Glad my EAD is good until March of next year but still would be happy to get the new one soon.

Congrats!!!!

I'll be calling next Monday too - That will be my 75 day mark.

I did call them today (The number listed on the website for queries). I got through really quickly, within 5 mins. I got a nice woman, who was clearly reading a script, however I told her that I realized that the 75 days was not passed yet, but that I was concerned that I hadn't had any movement whatsoever. She assured me that my file hasn't been misplaced, and that they are still processing it, and to call back after the 75 days if there is no change on the website.

So that's my next step!

I'm hoping I will get EAD and AP approval this week, to avoid the stress and worry of chasing it... My AOS is at Nebraska, and from what I've seen on VJ, I don't expect a quick turnaround - That's not so much of a bother. Although I'd like to have everything in place, I am happy and grateful to be able to be with my husband during this part of the process - I would just like my EAD so that I can get a job! Also, my mother is elderly, and my sister is in the later stages of a complicated pregnancy, and I would like the AP in place too, just in case I needed to make an emergency unplanned visit home (I know that I can appeal to the USCIS to get clearance to leave if I had to, under an emergency circumstance, and probably the same day - But I would like to just be able to go if I had to)... It's just one of those things that's in the back of my mind all the time...

Congrats to all of those that are seeing movement with their applications, and good luck to those who are still waiting!

For those that have called at the 75 day mark, did you start the 75 days from the NOA1 date or from the date they received your files?
