Is it possible to do so? Im at the 95 day mark, so Im still within "normal processing times". I dont have a job offer to prove "financial" loss (nor am I in the red)... do they normally ask for proof?

What other reason for expediting can I give?

Well see if you can get a job offer issued by a potential employer (even if you may not work for them in the future). Use that job offer and whatever bills/mortgages/debts you are paying as evidence to try and expedite your Combo card. Otherwise...You won't be able to submit a service request until you get to the 6.5 months mark (or however the processing timeline goes).

Is it just me or does it seem like the February/March filers were getting green card interviews faster than the April filers? Some of them already have their green cards, but a lot of us here are "ready to be scheduled" and have been sitting there since May.

I hope so! Its just so sad seeing all these interviews go well then have to tell the employer that you have to deal with immigration and expediting... then they dont want you anymore. So hard to get that solid job offer.

That is part of their process. You request something, they will email you an notification saying that they are working on.....just be patient.

I didn't make any request at all! That's why I thought this update was so weird and made no sense to me! lol

 

Thank you tho... being patient is the only thing we can control in this process, right?

Are you signed up for https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ ? I thought people who are signed up there get those updates every 3 weeks. You need to go to settings and then and edit something called ''case inactivity notifications'' if you don't want to get those.

I'm signed up for that, but this is the first time I ever got this message. Thank you so much for your help. I don't wanna receive updates saying there are no updates! lol

Yup, that is the only thing we can do.......unfortunately USCIS has A LOT to improve and I mean in many different areas.....you are not the first to receive weird notifications without having requested anything.....

For me those updates were helping me not to check the account every day until...I found out a couple of days ago that somebody got the update about no updates (  ) and they checked and they had a major update there about their interview!!! Who wrote that program ...

Ha ha honestly...it's hard not to go a bit crazy with all of that. Wish things were simpler, faster and more predictable...and out of these I would settle on faster!

I'd say that is #1, and being able to laugh when they're being silly like right now is my close second

yep, already got the license, good for one year. they took a couple weeks to give me the learner's permit initially because they needed to snail mail DHS asking if I was a good little immigrant or not, and then they gave me the permit (thankfully I could take the knowledge test before that, or I would have forgotten everything I crammed the day before). what was really surprising was that, for once, not being a citizen made me pay LESS, not more (like $10 less) for the permit. granted, if I had to keep renewing this every year in the end it would cost way more...

Hi! I'm just curious - I'm from Pennsylvania too, and I paid $35.50 in Allentown PennDOT office. There was no discount for me as an immigrant. What was your discount for? Did they tell you about the discount in the office? Because I haven't seen any info on this on their website. Thank you!

p.s. Funny, they hadn't let me take my test before they cleared me with DHS. Was the road test hard for you?

I also want to ask to you'all if someone have try to get their Driver Licence in texas?

 

I had one in 2016, it says: LIMITED TERM DRIVER LICENCE. its expire with my I-94 in the middle of 2016 (was valid for only 6 months) I still have it with me. 

 

I was wondering if with my notices of action (I-797 C) I have already 5 of those ones. I can go an get/renew my driver licence? I do have all the documents to prove that had done Biometrics, and also my married certificate to prove name change, and proof of residence as the lease apartment with my name on it. 

 

Someone have tried this in Texas During AOS process?
