Can you not try a brick and mortar bank ? I opened with Wells Fargo, like your experience they wont let me open online for a non resident but it told me to apply in branch so I went with my documents (i had a SS number) and they opened a checking account no problem, just needed $25 to deposit into the account.

So strange that these banks seem to follow different protocols but no, we did not try a brick and mortar bank.   The primary reason is that she did not get the GC or the Combo card and we could not get the SSN anyway.   I think most banks, including WF would require at minimum the SSN.   She just got that now this week.  Tomorrow is the second I-485 meeting....which we don't understand....but are hopeful the GC is on the way after that meeting, and all will be good in our world.

You surely answered my question though.......it IS possible to get an account without the GC at some banks.   I wanted to know so I was fully informed for this interview tomorrow, as I've documented why we could not add her to my existing accounts.   I'm better prepared now if they ask why we didn't go to a brick and mortar bank.

Many thanks for your reply !!

So are you saying that your EAD is coming before the interview?

[Javier Mera 217]

Our interview will be on February 11th. On the items that we need to bring it says birth certificate of petitioner. Since I'm a naturalized citizen, do I need to bring my foreign certificate along with a translation?

 

Thanks in advance!

I just received a message that my EAD card is being produced! I am so happy! I actually have a job interview today at a really great company and I was nervous about not getting my EAD on time... God's plans are perfect.

I think so.. My husband is a naturalized citizen as well and we did submit his foreign BC and the official translation in our AOS file

They received my second request for evidence for my 485 just over a week ago, my 765 is still at expedite request information received which was 24 days ago. Was suppose to start work today if I was to receive EAD which I submitted expedite request well over a month ago, work start date has been pushed back to the 21st January and I don’t think they will push it back anymore than this and I will lose the position. Do you think it’s worth calling USCIS sometime this week and following up on this? Thanks.

We had our interview yesterday and we got approved on the spot! Crazy that it only took 4.5 months from start to finish 😄 wishing everyone on here luck!

When you go through the options and then someone answer the phone, just ask to speak with a tier 2 and they will schedule the call (they usually have hours pf waiting so they call you back)

I don’t remember the exact numbers I dialed to get to a representative. I’m sorry I can’t help you with that. 
When I spoke to a Tier 2, they told me that my case was fine and not to trust the online case tracker because they don’t update those on all cases, which is unbelievable

Still waiting...
