I wonder if the couples which filed the AOS in the beginning of November have already their EAD cards approved???

Anyone???

I filed my AOS after my I-94 was expired. We got married Sept 4 and my J1 visa expired Sept 13. I had 1 month tourist extension till Oct 13 and we filed the papers Nov 19... so 36 days after the last day of my legal stay in USA. I already got my Boimetrics appointment letter which means that they didn't notice any delay. I am not 100% sure how it works with K1 visas but the case with overstaying the visa must be similar for all the visas!

Hey there! Im a little curious... what does your lawyer mean by the 'real' one? lol In your first letter, which forms did it state? I ask b/c I received 2 letters also, the first was only for I485 & I765. It wasnt until I completed the walk in appointment did the 2nd one come in the mail for Advance parole. But while I was at the ASC they went ahead an issued me another letter ahead of time for the advance parole and did all 3 at 1 time

Both letters are for the same case numbers (I-485 and I-765) and the second one is just for rescheduling the appointment. The EAD&AP is combo card and I think they don't need two different Biometrics for that. I haven't received letter for the I-130 case...

Hey everybody,

I just got second letter for the Boimetrics appointment. The first one was for Dec 24 and the new one is Dec 26. My lawyer also receives all the mail so she said the second date is the real one. Does anybody know if they have any other days off than the official federal holidays?

I am also a Nov filer in NOLA and received my biometrics appt letter on Friday. From all that I've read, the Metairie office does not regularly allow walk-ins, and I absolutely HATE Metairie so I don't want to waste a journey there when I could just wait 2 weeks. But if you go, let me know what they say! Good luck everyone!

Hi kittylondon

I talked this morning with my lawyer and she just told me to forget about walk-in in New Orleans. She has a lot of people with bad experience and wasted time and money trying to do the Boimetrics earlier. Its 3 hours driving from where I am and I am not sure it is worth it to go. Still some of my friends are excited just to visit there and if we go I will let you know.

There is a little trick that you can use probably ... just tell them that you have plans for the Christmas holidays and show them some proof for that. Its Christmas!!! I hope they will be more cooperative at this time of the year or they will be too busy and will just tell you to come at your appointment date!

Hey I just got in the post my Boimetrics appointment letter dated Nov 27. My appointment is Dec 24 and of course i don't want to wait more than 3 weeks from now to do that so I am thinking about walk in there next week some day. I still don't know if they will allow me to... if there is someone with the same experience from New Orleans please share

I just received all 3 NOA for I-485, I-765 and I-130 in the mail!!!!! Finally something is happening

Waiting for the Biometrics appointment notice now! Does anybody know if they accept walk-ins everywhere? I will have to go in New Orleans I think.

So here is a little correction in my timeline! Apparently our lawyer didn't send the AOS package Nov 9 as she said. She sent it Nov 14 and they just got it there Nov 19 ... the big waiting starts again At least I saw the delivery confirmation already and I am sure it was there Nov 19! I hope Christmas holidays won't delay our cases too much

Nothing yet for me!!! Everybody who filed Nov 9 has already something back, but not me!!! Still waiting for the paper mail...

Hi Novembers ,

My package was sent Nov 9. I have already posted a question about the e-mail and text notifications and got really quick response. Thank you tru_loves_journey and Jason & Anna!!! I am not sure I have this specific form for the notifications in my paperwork so I guess just waiting for the paper mail to come one day

Thank you for the link!

I just filled the registration form but I need the receipt number for any actual updates. How long do you think will take for the receipt to come back in the mail?

Hi everybody,

Our lawyer just sent the AOS package last week Nov 9 and I was wondering how am I supposed to receive any e-mail or text notifications? I don't remember him to put our phone numbers and e-mails in the forms. He has it because we were talking on the phone and sending e-mails with the information before he sent our papers but maybe I have to register somewhere in order to get notifications...
