APRIL 2020 AOS FILERS

[Ameriaussie 49]

Happy Easter everyone. On this day, we feel especially blessed that we have each other during this difficult times (and soon to be welcoming our little one). Our hearts go out to ones who have been in the same K1 process with us, but are still kept physically apart. Good luck to you all!

if you are already married, you are not out of status. If you are ready to file, I dont see the benefits of holding off.

 

In my experience, USPS is the best.

The 131 South Dearborn address is used only if you use FedEx, DHL, UPS or a courier service. The PO Box address is used if you use USPS. I used FedEX throughout my journey, but it's basically a personal choice.

That makes sense!! I got my credit report last week thinking that would be enough evidence (because I thought it would be a letter verifying I didn’t have one) but it turns out I do have one! My husband made me an authorized user on his credit card not that long ago but I still “inherited” his credit score.... so when we found that out we had to call again and request yet ANOTHER letter lol to get my credit score (and paid $8 for it). Needless to say I didn’t know credit report and credit score were 2 separate things. But anyway now my answers on form I-944 changed so in my case, I needed to wait and get these letters 🥴. 

Oh my gosh. I'm in the exact same boat as you were! Called into TransUnion (on hold for 1.5 hours), talked to a rep who unbeknownst to me, said I actually DID have a credit report for the same reason as you, and that she was going to mail it to me. Still waiting after 10 business days. I didn't realize that a credit score would not be on the credit report. In Canada we have credit bureaus that show you everything. What the heck! 😭

 

My I-95 expires on April 22, and I'd much prefer to file AOS before this date, even though theoretically it's okay to file after. With that said, I don't have enough time to wait for another 10+ days to receive my credit score. I'm wondering if we'd be able to get away with just a credit report.

 

I guess I'll be everyone's guinea pig!

Omg I know it’s so frustrating!! 😣 in my case, I got the letters from Experian (each letter took about 7 days to arrive... we were checking the mailbox every day 🤣 the credit score was literally the only thing left for my application to be complete).

 

If you can’t wait, maybe you can check “yes” on both the credit report and credit score questions.. and make a note in the additional information sheet clarifying why you weren’t able to attach your credit score letter? Tbh, idk what they want 😂😂 but I know that having to wait to file sucks!! Especially when you can’t be sure when the letters will arrive. If you do decide to wait though, I would probably give Experian a try for the credit score. They were “fast” in my experience. Best of luck 💪🏻💪🏻 and hoping you’ll get that report in your mailbox today or as soon as possible! Keep us posted 🤗

hahaha thanks for understanding me @Flowerfame!
 

 Yeah, this form is really driving everyone bonkers.... just ridiculous! I’m glad to hear you were able to get yours in time!

 

thanks for the suggestion! I’m going to try calling Experian! Do you have their phone number? I don’t have an SSN yet, and the numbers I try to call all ask for an SSN to begin 😭

 

Thanks so much!!

Just got back from USPS. Expected to arrive at Chicago this Thursday. 

 

This is the second time we will be filing since our first application got sent back for using the outdated forms, even though they were postmarked before 2/24. Really hoping everything goes through this time. 

I am in the same boat as you. We plan on filing again this week. Did you use the error messages for the credit score/report or you have an official one.

Hey guys! I'm gonna start to get the files ready today so I'm a newbie for AOS. First question I wanna ask is, does COVID-19 situations affecting the AOS process in the beginning aka just filing? Cuz I read some news like they not doing interviews which is you gotta be there in person.

So happy that I read your post. I am petitioning for my husband and I called TransUnion (on hold 1hr23mins). He doesn't have SSN but i added him to my capital one CC last Sep/Oct and he had both score and report. One was free and paid $9 for the other. Only downside, snail mail is the only form of delivery. She said it would be 5 to 7 business days. They gave me a file number.  They were able to pull up this formation using his name and our current mailing address.
