Hey! We're hoping to get it all done this month - entering the U.S, marriage and AOS/EAD/AP filing. So, I'm going to go ahead and join this group. Lots planned for February! :dancing: If we slip, our filing will be later than planned and I'll slide on into the March group. :rolleyes:

Understandable I was going to have my AOS done in January right after we got married but then reality that after reading people's reviews and comments on how to fill out the AOS and what we need plus the AOS money was needed on a emergency so we had to wait till he got his next paycheque

Sometimes life hits ya but eventually u will get it done maybe not this month but I do hope it is if you can cause the more you wait the longer you have to wait to have it done ;)

You're so right about that! If it's not done this month, we may have to wait until later in March to file. That's our incentive to keep it moving. I think we have most of what we'll need gathered...I've even already obtained the marriage license. Still, you never know what might pop up.

Hello, fellow February 2016 AOS filers! My fiance arrived from Taiwan yesterday (2/1/2016), thankfully making it before the snowstorm hitting the Midwest today. We're getting married on Saturday (!!!) and hope to file AOS by the end of the month. I will be changing my last name and need to take care of getting new passport, driver's license, and SS card so can include copies with the AOS documents. I'm assuming that will be necessary, since we filed the I-129F under my maiden name.

Thoughts??

Hi, wanted to join the community as I see many of us go through the usual anxiety period--I keep on looking into USPS tracking system and waiting for any possible acknowledgement from USCIS.

I sent my package certified mail on Tuesday, 26 January, last information I got from USPS was that it was ready for pick up at Chicago Lockbox, on January 31. After this date I have nothing...???

I was hoping to receive something, but I guess it will be next week.

You have such patients, I just sent mine off yesterday and I am already impatient , according to my tracker it says that it should be there by tomorrow...from what I hear the second they cash the money is follow up about the biometrics as they sometimes they forget to mail the paper and if you miss the appointment they will not be responsible for it and you will be denied from what I hear, so definitely fllw up with ur case, they should have picked urs up by now

Don't stress...I say the same to myself ?

Mine was delivered at 11:30 pm on Sunday, 31 January and I haven't heard anything yet. I think that the first thing they do is cash the checks..so check your bank first, it would be a good sign if they do!

USPS is not good at updating its website. Best alternative is to request status updates through texts, this one is more reliable, although I received all text updates late.
