Hi everyone, I filled my AOS/EAD/AP the 27/7/18.
 
E-notice 3/8/18
physical letters 7/8/18

Well, the waiting game officially starts for me (petitioner) and my hubby (beneficiary). May this part of everyone's journey be smooth!!!
 
AOS/EAD/AP packet mailed- 7/25/18
Received at Chicago lock box- 7/27/18
NOA1- 7/27/18
Received NOA 1 hard copy in mail- 8/6/18

Took 6 Months and 1 week from NOA1 to NOA2 but that was philippines - Check my signature for more timelines as well

Biometrics received July 27th. Appointment set for August 7th! So far it’s goin smooth. Once that’s done it’s just another long wait but happy to be at this stage 🙃

We got my fiancé’s social security 4 days after she arrived. Just make sure you print out the I-94 and bring passport. She received her actual SS card a week after we applied. The only times people experience difficulty getting a SS number is if you go too soon to the SS office and they don’t see the POE I-94 registered. Since then we have been married and now our next step is to change her name on the S S card. From what I read here from other people’s experience is to get in their maiden name first then once married get the name change so that way her or his passport ID will be easier to ge the number  since that’s the name they arrived on. Also from what I read from other people’s experience is lawyers tend to get a lot of the information wrong. This community has been more than enough for most to get through the process and you get first hand real life advice form experienced  couples. Good luck and hope that helps 

We received our update within days apart. The numbers are the same for all three application except the last digit so try going up or down. Ours was 5-7

I have created a workout schedule (that I have not yet started to follow due to a few weeks of bronchitis), and I have started to bring my computer to cafés instead of just sitting at home, because it makes me more productive. I'm doing a lot of job searching, writing, reading, trying to find activities or courses to join. I have already had one family member over to visit and this week, another one will come. So I am definitely keeping busy 😃
 
But anything that makes you get out of bed and get ready for a normal day is to recommend. I have had days when I'm in my pyjama all day and while that is nice sometimes, I prefer at least pretending I have something to get ready for each day haha.

We got our mail and text msgs last night. Mine delivered 12th

HI! Thought I’ll join into join in  just dropped off my packet at FedEx hoping it all goes well!!

It's free.. you don't need to pay that..  

Hello all,
I just successfully did walk-in for biometrics in Dallas ASC. No questions were asked, in and out within 15 minutes. The whole experience was pleasant and they are very friendly. Now waiting for EAD to be approved.  

NOA 1 received today for all three applications!! Now that that is behind us praying for no RFE and the real wait begins......🧐🙃

Received the hard copy of my NOA1 yesterday for all three EAD, AP and AOS! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

woo hoo just got a text confirming receipt of package. The credit card was charged on the 17th and a text just ten minutes ago. Now we pray for no RFE and an expeditious return and completion to all my fellow AOS’ers here!

Awesome! We got our text on the 18th and the email on the 19th for the AOS EAD and AP - it’s just frustrating that they can’t work or take classes and the EAD takes 3-5 months 😩. In hind sight I wish we did the CR1 considering the wait times these days. Oh well just glad to inch our way through the next phase 😕

Congratulations! And may you have a wonderful birthday! As hank said CFO time  and then it’s just packing time. My fiancé arrived on May 30th and since then we were married and have been issued a SSN number. Some Things will go fast from here and the others like AOS doesn’t seem so bad because at least you’re together. Hope all goes well with your appointment and God bless 

Congratulations!! 

Your situation sounds a lot like Fredd whom went through the same if not similar situation as you are going through.  I advise that you look and read through his timeline and his post earlier on this thread. If  they have your passport and you were given that information then just a little more patience is all you need. Unlike other embassies that you might’ve read about the Philippine Embassy is pretty straightforward and not as ambiguous as some of the other countries so you are all set.  if you see your status on your AP dates change that’s a good thing and eventually it’ll change to non-immigrant visa shortly there after you will see issued which will followed by a two or three days you will have the visa in hand. I don’t believe Hank was being rude it’s just a lot of people do searches on these forums and when you get multiple entries of the same questions that can make it difficult for others to get the right information. And matter fact it was Hank who help guide me through a lot of the things that I went through in my 221G and he has advised with great accuracy many who needed help specifically with the Philippine Embassy. We understand your anxiety and are anxious for direct answers, while no one can give precise information despite their individual experience, all the information you have provided is pretty straightforward and doesn’t sound like you have any issues outside of just needing a little more patience. Also keep in mind most moderators and members help many here as a volunteer and with no reward or compensation other than paying forward the blessing they have been given. It may may come off as brash but they are trying to keep this site as easy and understandable for many users and posting the same questions won’t yeild any other information then what can originally be offered. Hope hat helps and don’t worry your case is not something outside of the norm. Just a little more patience and i bet by weeks end you’ll be all set if I would guess based on what happened to Fredd.

He's not rude dude, Hank is right it was answered already. Besides Co told you that your approved  they only need your medical result before they will issue your visa, You'll be issued  soon. Don't worry
