how does this "name check" happen? Does it also apply for k1 adjusting their status? What if I have my nbi clearance back home from phils (got expired already last feb1 past 1 year) will they still check me? And lastly, how do we avoid it?

I hope somebody can clarify this to me. Thank you very much.

what about police clearance?

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, did not get transferred to the CSC, and it took 3 months for me to get my EAD (just received it today! ). I had my AOS interview yesterday... so if everything goes well, I should be getting my Green Card in a couple of weeks.

Was the EAD application worth it? Well... if I'd known the exact dates of everything beforehand, no. But no one knows for certain what will happen with your applications, so applying for AP/EAD can set your mind at ease somewhat until you get your Green Card.

I live in the Bay Area too, and my case isn't forwarded anywhere... I got an interview date for AOS this MArch.. So I'm guessing we'll have the same timeframe. At least now I know when to expect my EAD.. which is kinda not worth it eh...

My 2 friends, (one from Tennessee the other from kentucky) their cases were forwarded to CA. The first one already got her Greencard in a span of 1MONTH AND A HALF!! The one from kentucky, well, i'm assuming she'll undergo the same thing. But I, on the other hand, didn't receive any notice that my case is being forwarded to anywhere. Instead, I got a notice for interview this march. I live in Cali by the way. So I guess, to each his own?

Hi everyone! I just had my biometrics for EAD and AOS last tuesday. I was wondering when can I start working legally and what proof should I submit to the employer? Thanks.

Hi everyone! I just received my receipt for I-797C for AOS and EAD. I tried checking my MSCxxxxxxxxxx case number but it doesn't show up? Why is this?

Thanks!! At least somethin's moving ayt hanster?

ohh that's true. it is sad, but ever since i mailed my application, i would check my bank account online everyday to see if they have been cashed. i guess once i get the NOS, i will be checking my case online on the USCIS website.

good luck to both of us djcess

That's exactly what you're gonna be doin'... i did too.. and it's addictive i tell ya! And oh, you'll be refreshing / clicking "view new posts" here in VJ for quite some time good luck and never give up!

I was all alone on 2006 because obviously dj and I still had the long distance thing. I was just trying to let each day pass and hoped soon we'll be together again.. which we did by september! But now I realized, it was not just a good year, actually very good because I had my family, my bestfriend, my shih tsu poo MATET and the whole time I was surrounded with love. I just wished I treasured every moment of it. Oh, and I love my bestfriend (right there below at the most bottom) so much we've been friends since fourth grade and she came with me in the US for my wedding and now it's only 2 months left she has to go back home.. I guess the world is fair isn't it? It gives you what you want, but you have to give the world something back.... sucks big time.

Thanks!! At least somethin's moving ayt hanster?

Wooohhooo!! Our cheques for the AOS and EAD has been cashed today! whew.. after all the holidays i thought they'd never get it. Cant wait to work!

There! just want to get it out of my system!!

sooo happy for you!!

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!! i didnt. cz everything was all ready but the boss wasnt there, i've been delaying this AOS thing and i had enough of it.

Alll my friends that are going under AOS didnt submit an employer's letter though and they all were approved.. i just hope I won't get an RFE..

Thanks for the replies.

Problem solved after calling about 15 civil surgeons we found one who is willing to do it for 25$

Good! Encountered same problem @ redwood city so i searched more civil surgeons and I found one in SFO who made me pay 60 (expensive yes because of location) but didnt make me do everything again but just copied what I had.) . I cant imagine paying $165 for nothing... not to mention the pain is crazy!

I'm about to send out my Adjustment of status but i'm not sure if I need to submit an employer's letter of my husband. Is it necessary? We're sending out his latest ITR, w2 and letter of no 3 year ITR (he just got here after college). I appreciate your help.

ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS TO PERMANENT LEGAL RESIDENT IMPORTANT THINGS YOU MUST KNOW :

"There is no "90 day" adjustment filing requirement. One must marry before the I-94/K1 Visa expires, but the adjustment of status package can be submitted well after the I-94 Expires without any problem with USCIS.The downside of filing late, however is that the immigrant status is only "PENDING" with no particular legal rights. But he/she will not be deported for a LATE FILING." START OF AOS : First thing is get married within 90 days of your arrival in the US, if came here using K1 Visa .

Thanks! I appreciate your answer rhia.

help.... anyone?

Hi all

I just checked the USCIS tracking on our Fiance' Visa it said

Appication type: 1765 application employment authorization

on Oct 2 noticE was sent for approval of your application for employment

I just went back there a few minutes ago now it's saying I129F Petition For Fiance

Which is correct

Is this normal procedure we didn't apply for a work application

Thanks Allie

I wish that was my I-765 being approved hahaha! Sorry, i havent encountered that problem yet. Someone might give a better answer.

How's everyone doing today?

Anyway, I have a quick question. Is it really necessary to apply for AOS before the expiration date of your I-94? I got married within the 90days though. Thanks!

Have you applied for an SSN yet?

Yeah, I applied 3 days since I got here.. i know too soon , that's why I got it soo late like around a month after would you believe that? it's best to get it 2 weeks prior to your arrival. Now I have to go back because I need to change my name since I'm married... wish I didnt get one in the first place. LOL.

...but pork is good! Pork barbecue, pork sinigang, ground pork used in siomai chinese dimsum, LECHON! "dirt is part of the ingredients." i guess that's why it's yummy...?

Thanks jan and karencee.. I think I will have to send out an EAD (EXPENSIVE WAAAHHH ) but it's risky without it; I might get stuck. I want to get the AP also karencee, do they accept installments?!

Thanks for all your replies. They are very helpful.. It is quite tricky that they approve your EAD in 3 months but some get their AOS approval in just 4 months. Such a waste of $$$. But if they get approved in 2 years time, then I guess the $180 is worth it.. but who would want to be approved that long?!!

Hi! I came here on a fiance visa. I am so confused with all the information i'm receiving with adjustment of status. Correct me if I'm wrong in these areas:

a) I prepared all the paperworks for AOS in this forum. With all of my readings from the past I assume that the AOS approval would take almost 2 years, you first need to be interviewed and submit all supporting documents that you're a couple, and then you will receive your greencard. That's why we need to submit the I-765 EAD inorder to work legally in the US (cause ithe EAD will be approved earlier 2-3 months?) That way, while waiting for your AOS to be approved, you can get a job.

B) From other sources as well, EAD is an option. If I submit my AOS it would be approved in 3-4 months and NOT 2 years? By then, I would get my greencard in 4 months. SO If i want to work within the 4 months of waiting, I should file EAD and pay $180.

* Which of the above is correct? a or b?

* Assuming B is correct, what happens after i get my greencard?

-What will the future interview for?

-How will I know that I will have an interview coming? Will they give me another case number?

*What will my current status be?

I do hope somebody can help me out, my mind is so messed up right now and any advice from you guys would be highly appreciated.

Awwwww, that video made me all teary. Congrats!

Thanks.. So how is your new job? I desperately need a job too.. I wish there was no more AOS after you get married hehehe!

woohooo! I wanna get one of those soon!
