Got the bio appointment letter. 6/17/19 appointment. wohoooo

Because it is a receipt for submission of the I-485, and it provides a reference number which can be queried by authorities.   The form itself does not imply status, but provides evidence that someone has applied for status. 

Since you have some time left before your I-94 expires, have you been down to the social security office and applied for your social security card yet? If you wait till after your 90 days expires you will have to wait till you get a work permit card and that would be anytime between 4-7 months. Best to get that done now and then you are good till your employment card arrives and you can start work right away. 

Oh no my friend well prayers for you and that you can beat this cancer. I've had family members with cancer so u can beat this thing. We are okay here but you how it is waiting with USCIS My wife is waiting for her biometric appointment and so after that it's another long wait. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing in your treatments. Talk to u soon my friend!

Greenbaum,  Esq. Man that has a nice ring to it. 
 
Thanks for the shout out.

Actually it was 2 money orders. One for $1,000.00 and the other $225.00. 

I haven't seen a  thread for June 2019 AOS filers but here it is for those filing their AOS applications this month. Hope everyone who filed are getting some NOA1 notices.

NinaLu have you also applied for your social security card? If you do it now you'll be able to get one before you are out of status on July 2nd. The cut off is 2 weeks before your I-94 expires so go get that taken care of now. If you don't get it done  then you can't get a social security card till after you  file your I-485 form and have your work permit card in hand. That is taking at least 5-8 months now.

You mean the Adjustment of status I-485 form? As I understand it the 2 year green card is only after you had your interview and was approved BUT you have within 2 years to file the I-751 for removal of conditions and then once approved  you will be issued a 10 year green card. It's more US immigration hoops and $$$ of course. By the way how long did you have to wait for you EAD card and interview? We just filed last week so I know we have awhile to go.

You are correct you DO NOT need a EAD card to get a social security card. My wife filed for one 2 weeks after she arrived here last September and she got her ss card a month later. Someone there is giving you some wrong information so I would definitely go to another ss office and get her application processed as soon as possible.
 

Renewing a green after 2 years is actually a process known as removing the conditions on residence. A 2-year green card cannot be renewed. Lawful permanent residents with a 10-year green uses Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent residence so, did you already file form Form I-751 removal of conditions yet? If not then getting a 2 year green card would be correct.

Nat&Amy, I agree in point with your statement regarding out of status. My wife and I recently married back in October 2018 and her 90 day expiration date was December 16th. My wife has pretty much laid low since that time and just last week we filed our I-485 forms, Advance Parole,  EAD, and affidavit of support forms. Thankfully I got enough back on my taxes to pay the ridiculous amount of $1,225.00. So I would agree the sooner the better. Amazing enough that illegals can get free housing food stamps and free healthcare and yet our spouses are here LEGALLY and can't get anything🤬.

That's the correct Lock Box as I just sent mine last week on 5/23

Wanted to say a quick hello! The post office says they delivered our package on Friday, May 3rd. We're all back to the waiting game, but with our spouses by our sides

Hey there Nayrey, Congrats to you and so not to worry because even my fiancee in the Philippines had her interview and was not asked to see the I-134 affidavit either so that will come later when we file the I-186 affidavit of support when we do the adjustemnt of status. So for now just relax and wait for your visa and then after wards you can book your flight to the US.
 

Again I wouldn't worry about a printed signature and just scan all your documents to your fiancee as I did in the Philippines. Looks like you are up to speed with your requirements there so good luck the rest of they way!!  

So, I got my NOA2 on 10/1!!! Yay!!! I am here! Who’s gonna wait with me?)

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your support and advice!
Today I picked my visa up and in less than 12 hours I should be on my way to be with my fiancé.
 
NOA1 - November 13
NOA2 - June 1
NVC Ready - July 17
Interview scheduled - July 18
Interview (Moscow) - September 25

Visa at the pick-up point - October 2

Great question as I booked a flight for my fiancee AFTER she received the visa IN HAND. So NEVER EVER book a flight until the visa has arrived and the information is correct. Reason being NOT to book a flight is... 1. your Visa may be delayed or worse rejected from the embassy and 2. There may be an error in the spelling of the names or dates on the visa once received so in some cases you'll have to send it back to the embassy from where it was issued to correct the info on the visa . You never want to book a flight if there is an error on the visa because it could take up to a month to send it to the embassy and for them to fix the  error on your visa. Better to safe than sorry. Or worse yet you book a flight and the immigration will not allow you to board because the visa and ID do not match. You can however get a flight itinerary for the proposed travel dates in advance and then book the flight once your visa is good to go Hope that explains to never book a flight till you have it and the info is correct.

No need for an email as long as u have a NVC number so have your fiancee take care of the visa fee of $265.00 at BPI bank as soon as possible and then start on your DS160 visa application so as long as u have your NBC number u can get a lot done.
