Hello!  

 

We sent off our AOS package on Friday and FedEx tracking says it will arrive tomorrow morning (Monday October 2nd) So thought I'd start a new thread for anyone else filing in October! 😊 

 

I entered on a K1 Visa on August 11th , and we married 3 weeks later! I've filed for EAD/AP also. I've blogged about my entire immigration journey so far and the link is down below! Good luck to everyone , fingers crossed our wait isn't too long ❤️

Hi my husband submitted his mother's AOS yesterday to the Chicago Lockbox, it was delievered this morning.... I prepared all the documents so I'm really hoping everything goes smoothly. We filed I-130, I-485, I-765, she wasn't interested in the AP, so we didn't file one. Does anyone know if they cash both checks at the same time?
