June 2018 AOS Filers

[Swissmiss82 1,618]

i almost fell out last night when i received another update on the status of EAD 

where it says "picked up by the USPS" annnnd to top that: they give me a tracking number

i mean, from going from K1 visa still "case received" to getting a tracking number - it's been a journey!

 

so EAD will be delivered by monday

I don't know about everybody else but I was seriously starting to go stir crazy waiting on this EAD to progress- how many times can I get coffee, go to the gym and play on my PlayStation. Lol. Also having to contend with my father in law who immigrated 30 years ago and was so optimistic and yet out of touch with today's immigration reality who said "don't worry you will get your green card in 2 months, it's easy, 1 2 3" lol  he sure kept me laughing. My wife and I would almost eye roll in unison lol.

 

Very happy to say yesterday I checked my status and EAD card is in production and approval letters arrived for EAD/AP combo- I can finally stop being a bum. Lol. Well almost but it's on it's way soon. I filed in early June so for the rest of you waiting, its any day now!

First off: congratulations to all of you for having taken the first step to becoming part of this great nation! 

I have petitioned for my wife on June 11th, she has gone for her fingerprints, but so far I see nothing

No updates to our case whatsoever. I understand we are within the time frame, but it is a little discouraging when i check and it's stuck in the same: "your case has been received".

It's going to be 4 months and nothing . I hope to share good news to you guys soon.

small little update:

 

1) i got my EAD yesterday!!!! only issue: "country of birth" unknown! 

so i called USCIS and a tier 2 called me back today, saying they will contact the office and inform them to update to Switzerland,

and they will inform me if I get a new card or if they will just keep it this way!

 

2) I got an email yesterday after getting my EAD card, for a telephone interview

With that said - I had it today and it went so well that they invited me over for a face-to-face interview next Tuesday

 

3) most important: DRIVING LICENCE!

sooo.. as I went to get my DL (temporary) in my first week of being here, I got my DL which was vaild for 90 days as the K1.

Today I went back to the DMV and I was able to get the DL that is valid for the time as shown on the EAD!!!! Meaning:

Once you have your EAD go to the DMV and bring:

-Passport

-Marriage Licence

-I-797C (NOA1 for Greencard)

-EAD Card

-Birth Certificate (just in case...)

Please note that this may be different in different states. I didn't bring my NOA1 for GC, and they made me go home get it,

although I had it in my email and would have been able to forward to her or print out! but they wanted the original!

 

So temporary licence is in my wallet (valid 45 days) which is a paperprint out, and the card will be shipped shortly!

 

So overall, it has been a terrific day!!!

 

Crossing fingers for the rest of you guys waiting on EAD (or invite to GC Interview)... STAY POSITIVE! remember the uncertain days

of waiting for the K1 approval? Well, at least we are all with our loved ones now ❤️

Please help. In my husband AOS interview letter it says to bring the vaccination paper in a sealed envelope. My husband vaccination is not sealed. They gave it back to him at interview cause it wasn't required for k1. We send a copy with the AOS package. So my question is , should I go to a civil doctor to have another vaccination or should I just bring what I have even if it's not sealed. For Those of you that have been to interview, have you been in this situation.
