Sorry in advance if this is the wrong forum. I sent my AOS packet the first week of september and it was rejected because I didn't specify under which category I was applying, and I sent it back with corrections and I got the txt and emals on sept 29th. On oct 15th I had my biometrics taken and all until now I havent heard anything back yet. For all I know people by now would've gotten a RFE or something but I am just hanging in the air and it is kinda driving me crazy. I also submitted a form I-765 for work authorization and I'd like to know if the time frame is still good for this. My husbands I-130 i still under nitial review as well as the I-765 and the I-485 is under acceptance. I am married to a US born citizen.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, my husband is also in the US Army but when we sent the AOS he was working at allstate. IS there anything that I can do to update his status?

Thanks!!

That is fast, I got my biometrics take the same date and it still says initial review.. But well good luck!! And on the interview it is normal!!

Most likely you will need a blood test but not always and pay a fee and that's it. I got married in idaho so I just needed to take in my passport and my husbands birth certificate, we payed $30 for the marriage license. We had it instantly! We got some sort of counseling cause we got married religiously. Is your fiancée a US Citizen?!

Hey, I came to the states on a F-1 visa as well. My husband and I got married in June and we filed the AOS by the end of september. I recommend not going back to your country after married cause you may not be able to return. I was really dumb and went home for two weeks without husband and I almost didnt make it through the airport! SO just send you papers after you get married (I-130, I-485, I-693, I-864, I-765 and I-130) I know I know its a lot of forms! take your time! If your boyfriend/fiance is a USC you can send your papers as soon as you have them all ready, (no priority date to follow) After your submit your papers you will receive your receipt and that will be now your "permission to be in the country". I have a 5 year student visa but if you drop out of school you'd lose your I-20 so this receipt from the USCIS would be your new pending status. I can walk you throught the process its hard but definetely worth it!

Good Luck!

Shouldnt be a big deal. They might just ask you to take it ASAP. Which visa are you coming in with?

Thank you all! VEry helpful!

You won't get a work permit because you didnt file a I-765. You may do so sending a copy of your NOA along with the application and you wont need to pay the fee, you may do the same with the I-131. If your Green Card interview is coming up dont worry about filing for EAD cause your GC will be your work permit also. LEss Hassle.

Hope this helps.

I need to fly to see my hubby graduate from basic training in the army and I wanna know if I will be fine and not held!!

YES! I am married to a US Army Active duty PV and I just came back from the ID place and I got my ID card with the insurance and all benefits. You will have to renew it periodically every 90 days until you get your PR Status. After you're married he will need to process you or send you the papers so you can go to the closest DEERS/ID Place to get yours.

Hang in there! It will take a while..

If she travels while AOS is in process she will considered as abandoning the process and may be banned to re enter the country. Just to be safe apply for the I -131.

They rejected the whole application because I forgot to mark the application type

Its been quite a while since I filed the concurrent AOS. I was so pissed today and I called the USCIS Helpline (hell-line) it took 4 hours on hold to get transferred. Anyway, I spoke to a really nice Latino Lady and she typed up all my husbands and my information and She said - "Oh I see whats going on, your husbands I-130 has been rejected" #######? However, they gave me a eceipt # foe my I-485 and it starts with a MSC..

What to do?

Yes, you certainly can. You need to fill out the I - 131 with supporting evidence and attach a copy of your I - 797 Notico of Action that shows that you're in the AOS process and that you already payed all the fees, this info can also be found under the I - 485 instructions!!

What do I need to do to expedite my case? My husband is military personnel. Is there any special form? And also, when the interview time comes, he most likely won't be able to make it cause he will be in training; is that going to be an issue?!

Experience on this topic will be greatly appreciated.

It is SOO stressful!!!!!!

So after like 3 months of stressing over paperwork, we finally filed my AOS to the Chicago Lockbox, we did this last Monday sept 9th and still no receipt. Should I start freaking out?! HELP ME!!!

It clearly says in the instructions that it needs to be an original signature. Photocopies, or typewritten signatures won't be accepted!!!

My mom was denied her visa whe we applied for her to come two my wedding. They want it to be formal. Our mothers have way too strong bonds in the US and the agents can't allow for them to even have the chance to stay. I have a long way until I can petition her. Only thing left to do I have faith and wait.

I need advice on this as well

Just recently did mine. Get your shots, either skin test or blood draw for tb test and blood draw for syphilis; if it turns out positive maybe HIV. Also a physical, he will look through your body and look for sores in genitals. And ask you about drug or stuff like that. Pretty easy.

Good fr a whole year, so hurry up October is just around the corner!!!

He can get a travelers check! Or he can go to bcp and wire the money to your account. I once had some us entity wire me money straight to my Peruvian account.

I've met several people that entered the country without being paroled and got married and got through all the process and now are US Citizens

In some cases they ask to provide I-94 if available. It. Doesn't matter if she entered legally or illegally, she married you a us citizen so that makes a visa number inmediately available for your relative. Go ahead and file the AOS.
