    So, I had my AOS interview scheduled for April 2nd in NYC. USCIS offices are closed to public until at least April 1st due to pandemic.

     

    I just received an email from USCIS that my appointment has been cancelled, however there was something interesting in the email.

     

    On the previous email I received when the interview was scheduled, there was this line: "Your Case Status: Testing and Interview"

     

    On the latest email about cancellation, that line was changed to this: "Your Case Status: Decision". Also at the bottom of the email it says

     

     

    Did they just make a decision without an interview? Anyone else got a similar email?

    Hi! What is your case status on USCIS online case status?

    We are scheduled for April 8th. No email yet. I hope you're right about approvals. With the situation in NYC its going to be looooong before things start to go back to normal. I'm sure USCIS can't afford to put so many cases on hold because even under normal circumstances they are backlogged and complain of being understaffed. Did you try calling USCIS helpine and speaking to Tier 2?

    Hi Guys, 

     

    Whats with the vaccinations ? As usual, I had got mine done & don't have any record. Did you guys had to have yourself vaccinated again ? 

    I took mines and they didn't even bother with it. They will give you all the vaccines on the list irrespective of past record.

    Hi everyone,

     

    I'm starting graduate school at Columbia next week and have been offered to work as a Graduate Research Assistant. The position starts Oct 01. The EAD receipt date is April 10 and the expected approval is Oct 19. I would like to apply for an expedite using the offer letter from Columbia. Which category do you think I fit best in and what kind of supporting documents should I send to USCIS after making the call for expediting the process. Thanks in advance!

    Hello Everyone anyone here filed AOS, my state is in Calofornia, and we filed May 10, we have our NOA1 May 20,however since then no update on my case status,no info for my biometrics about apppointment letter. So Im not sure what happened I called Uscis july however they say no update yet. 

    Hi, our NOA1 was April 10 and we had our biometrics on July 24th after calling USCUS multiple times and then going through the congresswoman. And the biometrics was ONLY for the EAD and not the AOS. They say the biometrics for AOS (code 3) are only valid for 15 months since they go to the FBI database for background checks, and since the AOS timeline for NY is 15 to 32 months therefore they will only take those biometrics once they know you are in the 'safe window'.

    Hey @Maham10 any news on your biometrics yet? Nothing on my end.. :(

    Unfortunately nothing on my end yet. Put in another service request for AP. Since the USCIS T1 lady told me that biometrics are definitely a requirement for AP. The EAD can be issued without biometrics in some cases.

    Also - she said that since my POE was in March they might just use my fingerprints from that BUT just in case they don't she has put in a request. She also said that next time you call, use your AP receipt number since AP is taking 6.5 to 8.5 months and 3 months have already gone.

     

    Before speaking to this nice lady I had called USCIS to speak to T2 to inquire about the service request I put in on May 16th and this is what that guy said to me:

     

    He was like why the F are you calling and wasting our time, you dont understand the system, who told you the timeline for biometrics, how dare you tell us to schedule the appointment, we know how to do our job. He kept screaming at me non stop, did not even let me speak, told me why are you asking about AP and EAD, why do you want employment to pay your house bills can't your husband afford it, when he filed his financials he made sure he would be taking care of you financially. Also said that why you need to travel abroad you just came here. For NY it is taking 3 years for green card so we dont know when or if you'll get AP or EAD because it is linked to biometrics and you can't get biometrics this year and you will not get AP or EAD.

     

    My pulse was probably sky high, I told him I'm not satisfied with his answers because he didn't clarify why:
    1. There is option of filing AP and EAD while pending GC (obviously because GC takes time and it feels like jail without work or travel, there could also be an emergency)
    2. Why AP and EAD have timelines that are independent of GC filing and location of local office.
    I said thank you very much and hung up.

    :) It was coincidence -- I was checking the 300 cases around my number and counted at least 6 RFIEs including me (filed mid-April; there are lots of "Case Was Received" with mid-April dates sprinkled throughout so I'm guessing they were processing that period). I don't think there's a way to check for all April filers... unless you manually count each case which would take forever!

     

    Glad it could be of help! Yeah I'm hoping so. No idea what they could be asking.

    We haven't even recieved a biometrics appointment yet :(

    Hm yea that sounds more like you're getting your AP. Weird that they would process them separately. But don't worry, it shouldn't affect the processing of your EAD. The AP part of the combo card does not need a completed biometrics so it's not a mistake either. Just positive news.

     

    The negative news is no biometrics for either of the two of you. If you guys have the time and the will, if I were you I might try to go to the biometrics center... It's a long shot without the letter, but if you have a case number and a government ID, they might make an exception for you if you're lucky. @Maham10

    I'm totally going to try to do that! 2 months is too long! Sometimes I feel like out paperwork got lost in some piles

    You & me both... :( did she have an explanation as to why no appointment has been scheduled?

     

    @LizM my AP says this exactly... On June 11, 2019, we mailed your document for Receipt Number X, directly to the address you gave us. If you do not receive your document by July 11, 2019, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request the document be sent to you. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

     

    so this looks like I may be receiving a separate card for my AP which seems odd. 

    She had no explanation whatsoever. At least you're getting the AP. My AP and EAD statuses say "My case was recieved". I need the combo card urgently as I need to work in Columbia during grad school! Also need to travel in December. I'm really frustrated.

    I’m so frustrated! Did the office set a service request for your case?

    Yes did that back on May 16, recieved email around the end of May saying that they couldn't solve the issue so they have forwarded it to NBC. I spoke to L2 on May 28 after someone with the exact same timeline had asked for L2 and found out that her appointment had indeed been scheduled for first week of June. But unfortunately for me no appointment. I want to get a job in the Brooklyn office and do all the processing myself :(

    Thank you so much for the responses everyone!

     

    1. I just spoke to the USCIS officer, he said I can't transfer to tier 2 so I have to tell him what the issue is. He said that since it's been more than 30 days he will send a service request and I will hear back within 15 to 30 days LOL.

     

    2. I will definitely try utility bill at the Brooklyn Public Library and see if that works! Thanks for the tip.

     

    3. For the bank account, husband wants it to be in Chase since his account is there and it'll be easy to make transactions in the future. We tried utility bills with them but they said that anyone can add a person to their bill, you need to have credit history which you don't have either so come back with SSN. I can survive on cash that's no problem but it is an annoyance.

     

    Hoping to hear from USCIS soon. There's a work opportunity at Columbia that I can not miss.

    Thank you all again for your replies, wishing you all the best!

    Hi everyone!

     

    We're in Brooklyn and applied for AOS, AP, EAD together. Sent package on April 8 and recieved 3 NOAs on April 18. Since then there is absolute silence, we haven't recieved any letter for the biometrics appointment and it's kind of upsetting since it's been 4 weeks.

    I need to work at Columbia during my grad school and will definitely need employment authorization. Also because of no SSN I am basically unable to do anything like open bank account, use the public library etc. 😢

     

    The lawyer just tells us to wait. Back when the K-1 process was happening I was on top of everything and he was basically useless. Any advice/suggestions on what to do?

    Hello everyone , .was just wondering if anyone over here as experience of bringing their pets, or more specifically a large dog into the US, just wanted some information on what airline they used , what are the required documentation of the pet that is required for clearance etc

    You should probably call the big airlines in Pakistan i.e Etihad, Qatar, Emirates, Turkish (depends on your POE) to gather relevant info on travelling with a pet, I'm sure they know what documentation you'll need.
