LOL I know the stinking font came out huge!! hahahah anyway, thank you guys for the prompt responses!!!

In FLORIDA I know that with a recent i-130 NOA or i-485 NOA (with A#) you can get Driver's License and ID with no problem, but will be valid for 2 yrs.

What about ALABAMA?

Got another email from CRIS today, green card is on the way..

Finally, 45 days after a sucessful interview but approval pending due to delay in security clearence, we got email from CRIS.. welcome letter on the way 6/9.....Welcome letter arrives 6/12

When do I get my green card??? any ideas???

Congrats.. the same thing happened to me. Our interview back in April 26 went smoothly but we didint get approved/stamped right there because of the security clearence/name check issue. She told us it could be 3 months to a year! .. After waiting for 45 days now, I got an email from them... the welcome letter is on the way!... so I can tell you, relax, sit back and enjoy the ride.. forget about all this and check back in 45 days.

When would the green card arrive??

still waiting..

5 weeks now.

We had interview 4/26/06... everything went smoothly but "pending security clearence".... I cross my fingers to hear good news next week. I join the club!!!!!!!

Dont over-worry about this.. since you have a work visa.. just get married and file away i-130 & i-485. You may want to file for work permit too since your work visa will expire soon and you are never sure how long the AOS will take. (it depends on the state/city ) better be prepared.

Ukrainian embassy can only extend it to the date I travel to Ukraine, but then I still have to get a new one there, because without it I can't come back to US. So basically at some point I still will have to go to Ukraine for a month or so to get it renewed.

Don't pay attention to NOBODY here... people think they know.. but they don't really know.

Since you're married to an American citizen you're forgiven for any tourist visa stay and overstay. I personally know people who has gone through what you may go trough (if you choose).. and everything worked out just fine. Just make sure you get a lawyer (not an expensive one but a competent one) and prepare well for interview since they will want to know how come you didnt want to go through the other K3 stuff or K1. Remember it is your right as the wife of an American citizen to claim residency.

It's up to you.

AWESOME!

Congrats!! our interview will be at Fern St on APRIL 26 we're very excited and at the same time nervous hehehe Don't worry about the FBI check, give it a few weeks.

I am nervous

I GOT IT IN MY HANDS!! I am sooooooooo happy!! I am going to the SSA in a while.

Approved 1/11/06 valid until 1/10/07

Ahh can't wait!! well--most jobs require to have a SS in the job application. So I gotta wait a little more!!

My husband is sooo happy for me..... he said "you got your new passport! can you travel overseas now?" ...... I said "baby, baby.... not yet.. I wish!"

if in CT don't even think about it.. they are very strict.

I live in FL, I got my ID with NOAS (i-485 especially), passport (expired), i-94 & $3.00. I also brought marriage certificate just in case. I got my ID in the mail about 15 business days later.

EAD approved today. 8 days after FPs.

how many days until I get the EAD card???

ND for i-485/i-765= 11/09/05

i-485 = 61 days after filing, appt for 1/31/06 (got both fps done, lucky me)

i-765= 88 days after filing, appt for 2/25/06 (just got it, still have to go according to lawyer.)

Well, today is Feb 7th.. no new movements in my i-765 I am desperate! so far it's been 5 business days.

I got my FP done Jan 31.. I was told I would get something by Feb 8 I am crossing my fingers but so far no new LUD in my i-765 case since Jan 31.

DONE!! went into the ASC building and they took my appt notice for i-485 & NOA for i-765. I was out in 15 mins. My case for both was updated today! I was nervous for a while because I never saw that people doing something in the computer about my i-765-- but hey! they did it!!

happy happy joy joy!

I couldn't sleep last nite thinking about it.. ahh we'll see what happens.

Ohh OK, I will do that then.. I really hope it works
