Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been on VJ. Busy making sure I have all of my stuff together and getting married lol. We got married on October 21st (over a month ago :D) but we had to wait almost a month for our certified marriage certificate copies, and for paperwork from my parents (my dad is my joint sponsor). I'm sending out our AOS package bright and early tomorrow morning, but with processing times I might end up straddling the line of a November / December filer. I'm just very glad the paperwork is going out and is going to be out of my hands. I've been paranoid about losing a tax transcript or a signature page for almost 2 months now lol.

Heyyy we sent the AOS packet for my Husband  11/22/2017

 

We both recieved email notifications overnight last night (11/27) saying it had been recieved and to wait for the receipt I 797. When should we hear about if the packet itself was accepted? These emails said the packet was accepted but I don't want to celebrate too early if that's not the ACCEPTED we should be Waiting for?

Hello Lolo, 

Your case was accepted to be processed is what they mean and when you receive the receipt I797 (aka NOA1, first notice of action) you will receive your case numbers for Adjustment of Status (AOS), Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Advanced Paroll (AP) if you sent in all three you will get three different case numbers. Your case numbers may have been in the text messages you received as well.

AOS I believe is taking about a year, Employment Authorization about 90 days and Advanced Paroll about 90 days as well for acceptance.

We each got three emails one for each application yes.  So my question is, can we use those NOAs as proof that he's legal if anything were to happen? I heard once you are in the process of AOS that is another status in itself.  My husband is just scared that since its past the date on his i94 that he's out of status and deportable

Yes, right now he is technically "out of status" if his travel document is expired but that is fine because he is legally allowed to be in the United States if he came on a K1 visa and is adjusting status from a K1. The NOA would be your proof that he is legal to be here while he's waiting for USCIS to adjust his status. 

My husband's I94 expired today I believe.
