Greencard arrived :-)

Yay!!!

great news

Hey guys I am joining you so we can all wait patiently together. We filed on january 22 adjusting from b1/b2 and did a walk in biometrics today,

I hope that EAD comes soon so I can apply for SSN

My case status is not available on the USCIS site. My receipt number starts with MSC does anyone else have the same problem?

Mine doesn't show on the website either.

Nop,nothing so far...but is too early,I think...I have been checking mine case online,but still says - Initial Review for my EAD...have u got your EAD?

Nope!

I just had my early biometrics yesterday!

lol

My case doesn't show on the website. I'm really anxious.

Thanks really appreciate your kind support ...

yes you are right. It costs nothing to try but i'm 2 hr away from atlanta. Anyways Thanks you dear "Mariana2012"

Today I had my early biometrics. I got the letter on Monday and I was scheduled on 02/13 at 10am. Really didn't want to wait until next week cause the day I was scheduled is my bday. lol

When we got there (2PM) it was kinda calm and the guard seems a little bit intimidating, but he was really friendly and playing a little joke and I said I had other plans on my Bday and then he asked me if I didn't want to see him on that date. Lol

I was in and out in about 15-20 min.

Great experience.

Good luck to you all.

here is my experience: they received AOS and everything on January 3rd,app for biometrics was on January 28 th...if they have took the money hehe,then u will know everything is ok...maybe they just have a lot off applicants,so they are a little bit slower...good luck!

Let me ask you something... Have you got your EAD yet?

If you can afford not to return to Brazil for at least 3 months, possible longer, and are able to get somebody to send your birth certificate to you, then AoS is an option.

You do not need an Attorney to file out forms for you, unless you also have a registered nurse wiping your buttocks when coming out of the bathroom.

The following forms are needed:

I-130 (Petition for an alien relative),

I-485 (AoS),

I-864 (Affidavit of Support),

2 x G-325a (biographic info for both of you),

I-693 (the medical),

I-765 (work permit—EAD), and

I-131 (Advance Parole—AP).

The latter two are optional but FREE when submitted concurrently with the other forms what you want to do anyway, so absolutely file them! Also needed is a check for $1,490. Personal check is okay and preferred as it allows you to trace when it was “cashed.”

After about 10 to 12 weeks you will receive a plastic card which now is a combination of work permit (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP). At about the 3 to 5 months mark, you'll have the interview. Thereafter you will receive your “conditional,” 2-year Green Card.

Thank you! I really appreciate the time you spent to write me those lines and enlight my journey.

Hi guys!

First of all I'd like to say that I'm COMPLETELY lost.

I came to the US to visit my boyfriend. I always come to visit him. I never overstayed my visa, of course.

I'm Brazilian. I hold a tourist visa.

We got married couple days ago.

Which forms should we do? My husband is American.

I'm completely lost. Hope somebody can help us.

Should we hire an attorney?

If I didn't post at the right topic, I'm sorry, just found out about this website.

Thanks in advance.
