Hi Shady,
Same story here. I had my AOS interview on July 7th and got a RFE hand delivered for a new medical exam.
I mailed the sealed envelope to the addres indicated on the letter and it was received on July 14. I haven't received any update so far.
I suggest you to follow the instructions on the letter.
Thanks,
Angie.

you have a simple situation: go to Infopass and get a stamp and you can work and you are legal here... you are so fine. i don't know why you are worrying more then you have to.
drive your car to Infopass/imigration building.. tell them you are waiting on the green card an want your 551 stamp.. they will stamp you asap.
no need to stress out.

once you get your stamp go to the SSN office and from there you can show your work the receipt and you can start monday.

if you have an SSN you can work asap, very simple. No need to stress you are a LPR and can work immediately.
You don't need all that! they have you in the system.. they are going to look t your passport, plug in your name and stamp your passport.. that is all you need is your passport.. don't complicate things.

You can get a 551 stamp at any time if you are a permanent resident.
So if your GC was approved then you are a perm resident regardless of if you have the card in your hands or not. You do not need proof of your status when you go and ask for the stamp- you just need identity proof, they will check your status and issue you a stamp if you desire one because you do not have the card in hand.
However to get an infopass appt to get the stamp is going to take some time. My point was by the time you get there and get the stamp-- well it wont be much longer till the card arrives at the new address. So Im not sure how much use youre going to get out of the stamp. I dont know if you have a job offer yet or are just looking but most places will give you some time after you apply and are interviewed to present them work doc auths and stuff. You shouldnt necessarily need the card to apply and interview.
Also you should not be so so so concerned about e-verify. The employer will deal with that. If theres a problem they cant resolve feel free to post back and someone will have suggestions depending on what the issue is. But right now there is no issue besides you not being able to self verify which can be because Im assuming you changed your name due to marriage.
One last thing - you were approved in 74 days for your GREENCARD. That is a fantastic timeline for a k1. Some people are still waiting on their EAD. (disclaimer- if you are mistaken and this is your EAD combo card that got sent to the wrong address then you can NOT get a 551 stamp. you will just have to wait for the card to arrive. There is no alternate form of proof in that situation besides the actual card which the employer will need to complete the hiring process)

Hi,
It's fantastic that your sister got a visitor visa.
To be blunt, here are some answers to your questions.
Your sister got grilled because they thought she might do the same thing you did; come on a B-2 visa to marry and immigrate.
Your father did not get grilled because it's much harder for an older man to find a US lady than it does for a young lady to find a US man.
The CO has no obligation to look at any paperwork that the applicant may bring. None of it can be checked for their validity in the time it takes for a visitor visa interview. COs hate getting papers shoved at them.
Hope your sister enjoy her time in the US.

This is the 3rd I want to go home home thread I read just this evening.
I was also an immigrant and frankly can not relate to any of it.
Marriage is about commitment not feelings. It is about making a life together.
If cars, jobs, friends and family mean more to you than your husband then do him a favor and move back
and divorce so he can find happiness with someone who makes him a first priority.
It is normal to 'feel' homesick to some degree but this is about being an adult and not summer camp.
I just don't get it.
That's a little harsh don't you think. Marriage is about commitment but also about love which is a "feeling" Let's help each other along this path not make them "feel" worse.

You're homesick and its pretty normal. Sometimes it lasts months, sometimes it lasts years. This is your new home and 6 months really isnt enough time to have made yourself a life. You've had a drivers license for a month. Relax! Start your own business here.
