Woohoooooo!!! Party time I'd say!!!

Hahahaha yeaaaaaaah boi!!!!! Mine said the card was mailed yesterday too! It's all happening! Congrats!

*waves.

Ty. We are excited about the baby.

Not too excited about the AOS sitch. We actually just did an inquiry. Our first. And received a form letter stating that our application is pending and to expect a response

in 210 !!!! days. My husband lost it. We have just sent in the renewal EAD app, as his expires mid December. I am expecting the RFE for his medical bc it expired back in July, but so far no news on that front.

As for tips, I have none. It is random who gets approved and when. I have ceased attempting to figure it out. :/

best of luck and I hope yours comes through soon.

Also, not sure about posting other links here in this forum, but we found an awesome Aussie Bakery out of Georgia that delivers if you are missing any of the foods. My husband loves the meat pies. It is called the Australian Bakery Cafe.

What are the odds...the day after I posted, after so many months, the status changed to "New Card Being Produced". So yay!!

I will say that my EAD is expiring on the 22nd, so they magically approved it precisely 1 week before then? Seems like perhaps they were arbitrarily holding onto it until then? I wonder if anyone else had that happen?

RE medical, you shouldn't have to do it again since it was valid when you applied. I know my K-1 visa was issued March 2014 (so that means it expires March 2015?) and I didn't get any RFE to renew it.

That Aussie Bakery looks great! I may occasionally have to do business trips to Atlanta (my company has an office there) so perhaps I'll have to take advantage at those times. We also found on our honeymoon in Portland if you ever happen to be there, there's a meat pie shop owned by an Australian there too. It's called Pacific Pie Co. Boy was it good!

Best of luck for you now! I wonder if it'll magically get approved a week before your mid December EAD expiry? No idea, maybe that was just coincidental for me.

Hi all,

My wife and I are still waiting on AOS as well! On our third service request and no reply as of yet.

Any tips other than being patient?

Thanks,

Hi everyone, this is a great thread! And it's nice to see another Aussie in it too. Congrats on the kid on the way!

I'm in a similar situation with AOS it seems. Filed July 2014. Interview waiver letter end of December. On my third service request now in September 2015 - the first two didn't get any response.

I guess the name of the game is that we just keep waiting and have patience? Any other tips or tricks?

Cheers,

My AOS, filing accepted July 24th, 2014 and with the Nebraska Service Center, is still pending as well!

Interview Waiver Letter stating 6 month delay expected received December 30, 2014. Stated to call and submit service request after that (June 30th, 2015).

No further official correspondence.

Service request submitted start of July - no response.

Service request submitted start of August - no response.

Service request submitted start of September - no response so far. Obviously hasn't been 30 days yet.

I've sent in my EAD renewal too. It hasn't been approved yet but it's still within normal processing time.

It's good to hear I'm not the only one!

Hi everyone,

I've been looking through Visa Journey a lot over the last couple years though this is my first time posting.

I came to the US on a K-1 fiance visa and my wife and I got married early July of 2014.

AOS and EAD filed soon after, accepted July 24th, 2014. Biometrics request soon after. Completed as scheduled time.

I've since received the EAD and we've been happily living and working here in MN.

My AOS, which is with the Nebraska Service Center, is still pending though! I'm wondering if anyone else who applied for AOS around July 2014 still hasn't received their green card?

I'd be interested to hear if others are still in the same position as me. It looks like the original poster received theirs only last month so that at least gives me hope I'm not a complete statistical outlier in this scenario.

Thanks,
