That's a great suggestion!  i will wait until September/October.  He understands that these things change and while he would love to go it is possible that we can't.  So we will see.  He hates feeling like a prisoner in this country.  I could understand him.  thanks again  

Try to do some weekend road trips or depending on money/your holiday maybe somewhere else? This country is huuugeeee and a lot of stuff to see and experience. If you have the time and budget I would go and see the country since after he starts to work will be hard to travel. And if you are going to use up all your holidays just to fly back to Spain (as lot of immigrants do in their holiday (not judging, just that's my experience) then he/you will be missing out of a lot.

Just a bit bored, so want to ask anyone here, do you have any hobby while waiting for EAD, AP and AOS? Mine is doing craft! How about you guys? 

 

Also I was thinking to sign up for some ESL classes.... It's a longer commitment because you need to stay for like 6 months or so.... and I am not sure what If I will get a work permit and start working and won't be able to attend class?

At least here they offer classes from beginner to advanced....

 

Btw does anybody has experience with ESL classes?

Hello guys, 

 

I just sent my AOS package in July 18th and USCIS received in July 20th. I did not receive any notification yet.

Should I be worried about it?

I feel better now. How long do you think I should wait until reach out to them? I am just asking  because the processing times for my location says 15 days for NOA1 and I am almost there. :S

I would wait 20 to 30 days. USCIS has been taking way much longer currently. There are lots of people here on VJ that applied before and still waiting for their notices. Unfortunately USCIS process has backed logged and that is the reason.....meanwhile visit AOS forums, read some other participants feedback so you get used to the process and let me know if you have any questions.

Alright! I'll keep an eye on this forum! Thank you so much!

Hi. What are the requirements for Biometric. I plan to renew my passport right after sending out AOS packet. Will they need my passport for Biometric? I worry I don't have other ID to present. Thank you

Hi, 

 

I do think you need a valid passport (none expired). 

 

You will be required to bring a photo identification. Typically, acceptable documents include:

 

Passport or national photo identification issued by your home country

Driver’s license

Military photo identification

State-issued photo identification card

Good afternoon to all July filers, did mines on the 27/7/18 , got married on the 15/7. Definitely happy right now and just gonna wait until things start to occur. Enrolling into School in the meanwhile.

Looking forward to my Biometrics appointment next week on the 8th! Hopefully we're all smooth sailors after the horrors of the K1 process.

Hello,

 

I got a courtesy letter yesterday. Does it mean I will be ready to be scheduled for an interview soon?

Thanks,

Hey Emylady, I just saw that you are also in Portland. Would you mind to share how long took to receive a notification (email or NOA1) after you sent your package?

Congratulations! School is a good idea to keep our mind busy during this waiting process!

I think it two just over 2 weeks. They sent my I-765 back so I’m still waiting for that NOA1 after I sent it again. The emails came about 4 days before the letter and I got the emails before they cashed my check. :)
