ilyes

So, after forgetting my passport at work the day prior to the interview, the train not running the next morning, we mad it to the interview.I read somewhere IO at the Federal Plaza were not pleasant at all, but not mine, We had a good time, interview was too quick (I expected more after all that wait lol), we were in and out quickly in 20 minutes, interview was shorter than 10 minutes. Again, IO was really friendly and I got approved the same day. Now I'm just chillin and feeling great all day as I'm not illegal anymore.

Good luck to all

Interview on Wednesday, I can feel the pressure build up. Hopefully it is my last weekend as an out of status immigrant (sounds big when you put it that way).

Status online went to Card Production I hope the EAD will get there soon, no email though.

Stil waiting for mine too, I've been out of work for too long (3 months )

Jeez, I thought my case was going pretty fast but you are literally flying to the interview.

Just received the interview letter today for March 19th. Still waiting on the EAD, might come next week.

I-485 changed to Testing and Interview

Got biometric letter yesterday, did a walk in couple of hours later in Brooklyn

Went in Thursday around 11am, I was in and out in 10 mins.

Same here, I sent my package with I-130, I-485 and I-765. While the I-130 and I-765 status shows "Initial Review", the I-485 is still showing "Acceptance".

Both checks got cashed, so I don't know what to think about it. Anyone has any experience in the same situation?

What a start, I sent the AOS Monday morning from NYC, got to NJ the next day and Friday went to PA. I was expecting to see the tracking showing it was delivered to Chicago today, why the heck did it move from a NJ sorting facility to a PA sorting facility blows my mind and nerves. I just need to vent my frustration, and it's only the beginning of this long journey.

Yep, I filled it up as accurately as a swiss watch mechanism. If they want to dig, they are welcome. I just hope they won't give any problems to my previous employer. Even though we were both breaking the law, they permitted me to survive.

I worked off the book for a while, one of my job made me fill a W4, and I kept a copy but I didn't feel any I-9.

We just got married on Friday, and it was such a wonderful day. I never thought I would be this happy in my life.

We receive the tax transcript and everything is ready to go, next stop USPS on Monday morning.

Hello,

I'm Ilyes, French guy in love with a beautiful and amazing PA girl. We are getting married soon and will send the AOS Package right after the JOP is done.

We bought the guide for AOS from Nolo, which is very helpful, but also a bit confusing from time to time.

Let me tell you a bit about me, which should help you figuring what I'm doing and why.

I came in the US 4 years ago as an au pair (J-1 visa not subject to the 2 year rule). Stayed legal for a year and a half then visa got canceled when I left the program. Lived on my own for about 2 years than met my fiance (gosh I love saying that word). Instant love basically, 3 dates later, we were sleeping at each others place everyday of the week. A month and a half later, we moved in (7 months ago), it is just getting better every single day.

-I'm gonna submit the AOS soon, though we are still waiting on her tax transcript from last year. I am not sure it will come in time, should I send the packet anway with a letter stating the transcript is on its way or wait until I get it.

-We live in NYC and it seems the processing time is quite long from start to finish, any experience for the same situation.

-The Nolo guide implied we would have to submit many copies of the same forms, but when download the form online, I only get a copy of each (I-130, I-485, I-765, I-864EZ, G-325A). Except for the G-325A that has a copy for each application, do I need multiple copies of the others?

Here is the packet as I'm going to send it:
