Hello,

My husband and I planned to file in January, and then February...but we finally made it now in March!

Married Jan. 2018

AOS packet mailed USPS Feb. 26 2018

AOS packet delivered March 1 2018

Looking forward to hearing from fellow March filers. Let's hope March is good month!

thread title says March 2017 ;) But, my wife and I married 14th Feb. Wanted to file in Feb, but we are sending our package of tomorrow!

 

I'm worried about the EAD form, apparently expired as of yesterday, but no new forms posted so I'm assuming it's ok to still use the one that's up right now?

Good luck! Yeah, we were anxious as it seemed and felt like our package hadn't been received or anything. The email/texts last night was relaxing, now officially we are on for the waiting game.

We are March 2018 AOS filers.  Our package was delivered on March 1 at noon. Today is March 16 and no word at all. No check has been cashed. I called USCIS, but they don't even have my spouse's name in their system. I am so worried.  The guy on the phone said it sounded like perhaps we just submitted a lot of documents and it is taking a long time for them to scan. Does this sound right?  Is there anyone else who had their package delivered in March who has received the e-notification or NOA one yet?
