Anyone file for AOS without having a SSN number?

Yep!   Docs were rec'd by USCIS on 7/22, without beneficiary SSN.   (Petitioner SSN was included obviously).   

 

We applied at SS office last week.........they said we've have a delay while they sent an inquiry on our case.  I went to Casecheck earlier this week and found the USCIS was reviewing information from SS.   Yesterday, we rec'd the following........looks like USCIS did their thing.   So hoping SS is now processing the number, and we'll have it shortly.   Then, on to the bank accounts and DMV!!

Anyone know if you can send in additional materials to add to your application or if you just wait for the interview to bring pics?

I did not see a request for pictures, other than a passport photo, in any of the instructions, nor in Celie's checklist at the beginning of this post.   If you're referring to the relationship evidence, it's my understanding that you'll present that at the interview.   Maybe that's what they are returning to you?

I-485 and associated docs rec'd by USCIS on July 22, 4pm.   No email, check not cashed.     We need to get to FL for the biometrics.   Anyone who can share how long from the time USCIS recd your documents, until your biometrics were scheduled??

Whoops, found this info...............looks like we should have a solid month.   Out of the 84 offices, we are lucky enough to have the 11th slowest office.

Here's the full list of average AOS times for all offices, sorted by Biometrics to Interview.

I have all the documents & vaccines ready but can't seem to find any doctor that wants to file the DS form for me without doing a full medical. It's so frustrating

 

Glad everyone is waiting for their package to be received!! good luck!!!

Also if the field office has a low number of cases, then one or two outlier cases on the fast or slow side can skew the average a lot.

Right...........I seriously doubt Kendall FL is actually 590 days.   If so, I feel sooooooo fortunate that we're not in Miami.   

 

Unfortunately, Orlando is based on 16 cases, so it's likely to be somewhat accurate.

I remember reading your earlier posts on this, but forgot what you mentioned.   But didn't you have to get a sealed packet of information from the medical folks in Argentina to submit to the US embassy in Argentina?   I would think they needed the DS-3025 in order to admit you to the US.   is it possible that maybe the hospital just neglected to provide you with a copy, and if so, could you contact them and have them send you one?

I did receive my copy of my DS3025 but it's blank because the doctor back in Argentina didn't give me the shot I needed because it was not available so she said that I can get that done here. So even though I have all my records from previous shots through the years, and I got the shot that I needed here yesterday, I can't find any doctor that can fill the form for me without doing the full medical. Do I submit the records of my vaccinations? I do have all the shots needed, just the DS-3025 blank. I'm so lost of what I need to do

perhaps you can send a copy of your shot performed here along with your DS3025. That might satisfy their request. If they need you to transcribe them to an I693 later, they will most  likely send that via an RFE, but it's worth the shot to send it now, I think.

That's what I was thinking but my husband kept saying that I should keep trying. I feel like we lost a lot of time trying to find a doctor that could file that for us but I'm tired of calling and explaining everything so I might give it a try. Do I send a copy of my récords back in Argentina? Even in Spanish?

Sometimes the doctors won't budge and I would hate for you to lose more time on it. Just make sure to keep your originals in case they request you to go to one of their doctors, but I personally don't see the harm in you sending it this way for now. Maybe if they send an RFE later you can present that to the clinic and show them you don't need a medical, just the transcribed vaccinations. The DS3025 shows all your vaccines were completed except the one and you have proof you have now completed it.

Yeah I think I will send my package how it is because it's getting really frustrating to us having everything ready and this is pulling us back. Thank you very much for the response, I needed some silver lighting!! 😊💕
