It might just be a computer glitch if it says invalid. But I like the positive thought!

Ours is the same. We have the hard copies in hand. I don't think it means its not being processed, its likely just a computer glitch or someone probably has been able to enter them as of yet.

Same here, can't track EAD either. 

😀 Yes , it might be glitch or so. I tracked 500 cases using the USCIS case tracker there are lots of invalid codes, for sure its all  EAD cases

I'm confused about the length of time it will take until my wife (married on 5/24/17 on a k1 visa, applied for AoS in July) can become a US citizen. I've read most places that it is 3 years after she receives her green card. But others say it is technically 2 years and 9 months after the date we got married. If she has to wait until she gets her green card that could add on another year until she can become a US citizen.

 

Anyone know the correct answer with valid sources sited?

 

Hello @Nowrya! I remember you from K1 November 2016 filers thread. The answer to your question is 3 years since the date of your marriage. It's explaind on USCIS site https://www.uscis.gov/n-400. Look at Naturalization Eligibility Worksheet.

Hi there, yeah I'm back! And thanks so much for the source! I looked over the Naturalization Eligibility Worksheet and see it is 3 years since the marriage.

But even better "naturalization applicants may file their applications 90 days before they have satisfied the 'continuous residence' requirement". So I guess it is 2 years and 9 months.

Thank you so much, you're the best!!

Hi Guys,

My sister and his american bf got married in our country. Is K3 application is better and faster than CR1? 

 

thanks

K3 is obsolete, for all intents and purposes it no longer exists. CR1 is the option they want. Even if they applied for K3, it would get denied and automatically converted to a CR1.

Hi July AOS filers,

I decided to file AOS myself and have some open questions. Is there anyone that is going through the process and want to work together? Please send me a note on salshil.shilpi@gmail - It will get easier if I can work with other on the same boat. Anybody who already went through the process and is willing to help will be much appreciated. Thanks all!

I wouldn't worry too much, it's just the first step. I know my local Baltimore office is known to take 9-12 months to process the AOS to green card approval. Your local office might process in a third of the time. Everyone's time line will change dramatically during the process :)

Oh my I'm sorry! It will be alright, they might have just told you to call back in 4 weeks but it'll be processed faster than that, I don't think they would want to give you a definite date. Good luck!

So some news. My biometrics letter was sent out two days ago. I know this because I called USCIS and spoke to a tier two officer to see what would happen in the instance that I was away during the appointment date (we're on vacation in California for two weeks in August). We're in the Outerbanks right now but the letter should be there when we get home, and I can just do a walk in. Failing that I have an infopass appointment set up for the 2nd August at the Philadelphia field office which also acts as an Application Support Center.
