My feelings exactly! Are you POSITIVE there's not a workaround? Texas is way more angry about immigrants than like, any other state.

I have been in like 3-4 offices. I can get a license on my K1 and I-94 which would expire when my I-94 would. Which is today

They didn't care about the NOA for the I-485, because it does not grant any legal status....

I tried to explain the SAVE database and what is in Texas, but she said never heard about being verified by them and getting a letter from the department of public safety....

Maybe I should try with an expired I-94 instead ?

Ohh yeah...

My husband went to renew his license yesterday and he asked about my situation. The lady he spoke with said sure he can, it i will be available for a year, but he need a valid I-94. Mine expires today, So he called me, I rushed home,  I did online mock tests for an hour and half, went to a testing facility, did the written/vision/driving tests, gladly I passed, went to the license office, and they took my papers, etc then when I got to verify the stuff on the computer I see my license expiration is for today.... I tell the lady, she is like waaaaat, then she checks the date, and calls a supervisor I think, the person calls in i think a central number and explain the situation to somebody on the phone. I can hear her talking about me and what papers I have and then she comes back and tell the other lady that I need to have an ead or greencard or student status..... For sure the lady my husband talked with earlier was not there, so I didn't get a license

 

At least the proof of passing is valid for one year So when my EAD or green card comes I just need to go and get the license.....

 

About moving faster, I don' know. Can't find anybody from here who had his interview this years.... The only thing is the document you shared and there the numbers didn't look too bad.....

There you go
U said you can't get it withOUT an EAD
U just said you can. So yea
I would think EVERY state should let one get a license with EAD. That's pretty standard
Conveys to them that DHS thinks you're here legally and permanently.

yeah, its a circus as every state is different...even the evaluation by the personnel in that particular DMV office may be different.

 

We were able to extend from the i94 expiration date - North Carolina ID/License - with the i485 Biometrics NOA - DMV extended from the Notice date another 6 months.

But, several supervisors had to chat about the whole affair before figuring out which of the (4) i797's i presented to extend from and what the new date of expiration would be.

You got to just take it one issue at a time....

It took me 8 days from faxing the docs to being approved. Another 10 days from approval to receipt of the combo card. Hope it helps! 

Thank you, tomorrow will be 8 days for me from Faxing documents so I hope im as lucky as you were. The congressman received the standard email they send out to everyone on Monday so im trying to stay patient.

@emekus94  would you know if having a RFE for I-864 puts your AP\EAD on hold also?

Unfortunately, it's like technically a "yes"
That's because the people that process EAD/AP, i.e. NBC also looks at the initial packet for AOS.

So if something is wrong with ANY of them, they have to pause the whole thing till they get it back.

 

The good news is I don't think you lose your place in line. U're just paused so you don't start over as someone that applied when you give back the RFE.
hence my need to tell everyone- get that RFE response back to them ASAP. The sooner you give it back, the sooner the resume button hits. 

But unless you're like MONTHS late in getting RFE back to them, a couple weeks doesn't really do anything
Most RFEs go out in the first 2 months of a case and EADs are taking like 4 months. so mathematically speaking, I wouldn't worry about a "pause" too much.

Okay I got back with all necessary info ASAP, just curious if I lost my place in line...

Hello, my husband is a US citizen. We applied July 20 to the Chicago office and they received it July 23. I did the biometrics on August 22.  We live in Seattle and are looking to move to another apartment in Seattle.

 

There are some reports I’ve read on google of it slowing down their application or causing them to miss mail.

 

Will updating our address, slow down or otherwise harm our application?

Has anyone had experience with this before?

 

Thank you

That's amazing. Can you let me know how is it after your interview later on? 

Hello . So like I promised . I had my interview today at Charlotte NC . It was very fast , first after the security you have to wait in the information office there they give us our number for the appointment and they directed us to the appointment waiting room .

The officer was very nice and kind

She asked first for our passports and my husband (citizen) ID. 

1-She asked to my husband where and when we met .

2- she asked when and where we get married

3- when we arrived in the USA with the k1 visa and k2 and where

4-she asked my husband if he knows my father and my mother names

5- she asked my hubby my city of birth and citizenship

6- if he knows my daughter (k2) birthday

7-she asked our address here in the USA

8- she asked to my daughter my husband Full name

And after it was just security questions

She asked if I had more docs to add to our case

I just brought wedding pictures she looks at them and kept one( she said she loves my dress 😉)

She took our pictures and fingerprints

And said she going to review all the docs and make her decision.🤝

She was very friendly I was very blessed.

On my way home 30mn after I checked on the app and surpriiiiiiiiiiiise

And my status changed to

"  new card is being processed...."

Very blessed day thank Jesus 

My miracle .🙏🏿

Thank you

It depends--
If you move and don't update ur address correctly, you DEFINITELY will miss mail, which is not good to do with USCIS
Because for instance, EAD's cost like $400? to replace/send back to you... and getting them to send stuff back to you is an absolute headache. 

The people that complain about slow down/harming...
IF you move from an otherwise fast office to a slow one, then yes. U are kind of screwed because ur local office has jurisdiction over your case.

If, in ur case, it sounds like you're just moving a block and will stay in the same "Seattle" office, then you got nothing to worry about.

As a note- moving really doesn't negatively affect a case-- unless you don't do it in a timely manner then you have a headache of some sorts.

Have copy and original of every docs in case that you submitted . And if you already submitted the medical report exam it's ok you don't need it for the appointment it's only if you didn't. Join bank account statement , insurance etc......jeans /blouse and heels
