AOS March 2016 Filers

[faithua 0]

We checked hubby's case status, and on the updates, at last it says on June 7, your referral inquiry # blah blah was assigned to an officer for response. Then it says a response was sent. Then another update says it was completed.

Now we wonder what that meant. Are they sending us the card now?

I had the same, they've just sent a letter stating my request and told in the letter to contact them if curd is not received in 30 days. I cannot say enough how frustrating this situation with getting physical card after the approval!!!

I got an updated saying thay my ead was mailed to me. 6/7/16 i wonder how long it takes..

when was your card approved?

[Aguas 1]

i was approved on 4/27/16

[SanneW 30]

Oh definitely! I asked the immigration officer what to do if this situation came up, and he said that I could use my EAD until my GC came but once my GC came then to throw out my AP papers and my EAD card.

Thats more odd lol... since i had EAD/AP approved may 4th, and my GC approved 14th (found out it was 14 instead of 16) the tier 2 told me i wont ever see the ead since it wont be valid lol but it got solved for me with a stamp now so im happy either way uscis is just super odd ><

You only change your name if you want to.

Do you know the form if I want to change last name to my husband name?

There is no form. Your marriage certificates works as proof of name change. If you wanted to have you documents in your married name, you should've applied for them with the new name. I believe now it's too late to change it on the forms, but you could give uscis a call and clarify this situation.

I got an updated saying thay my ead was mailed to me. 6/7/16 i wonder how long it takes..

Did you receive a tracking number?

There is no form. Your marriage certificates works as proof of name change. If you wanted to have you documents in your married name, you should've applied for them with the new name. I believe now it's too late to change it on the forms, but you could give uscis a call and clarify this situation.

At your interview you can request the name change and they will do a legal name change for you and print your GC in your married name even if you filed wth your maiden name of you choose to do so... I had read that previously somewhere and my lawyer aswell as the person doing my biometrics told me the same thing when they asked if this was my married or maiden name and if I was going to take his name

That's good. I hope the person who was asking read this. She will have 2 opportunities to do so, even after sending the forms in her maiden name.

I got the most ignorant rep when I rang uscis, she was refusing to connect me to an iso took me asking her 6 times, politely but firmly (how I didn't curse at her was a miracle). Waiting on a call back now.

She repeated the mantra 60 days from approval to get the card and an Iso can't give me any further information. Her name was Joanne.

At last hubby's case tracker just got updated to Card was mailed!

i read a few also got theirs updated, mostly those who had the same fate with EADs getting messed up last week of April.

Not bad since it still is within timeframe, not yet past 90 days.

Good luck to all!
