Hi everyone,
Congratulations to all of you who have received your EAD card or already your Greencard! And much patience and best wishes to everyone who is still waiting!

I have a question regarding filling out an I-9 form for my employer. I will start working in 2 weeks after receiving my EAD card a few days ago. I have a pending AOS application family based: c9 (K-1 visa).
Which of those did you pick when filling out? Do I need to choose 4 because I have not received the green card yet?

3) A lawful permanent resident: An individual who is not a U.S. citizen and who resides in the United States under legally recognized and lawfully recorded permanent residence as an immigrant. This term includes conditional residents. Asylees and refugees should not select this status, but should instead select "An Alien authorized to work" below.
If you select “lawful permanent resident,” enter your 7- to 9-digit Alien Registration Number (A-Number), including the “A,” or USCIS Number in the space provided. When completing this field using a computer, use the dropdown provided to indicate whether you have entered an Alien Number or a USCIS Number. At this time, the USCIS Number is the same as the A-Number without the “A” prefix.

4) An alien authorized to work: An individual who is not a citizen or national of the United States, or a lawful permanent resident, but is authorized to work in the United States.
If you select this box, enter the date that your employment authorization expires, if any, in the space provided. In most cases, your employment authorization expiration date is found on the document(s) evidencing your employment authorization. Refugees, asylees and certain citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or Palau, and other aliens whose employment authorization does not have an expiration date should enter N/A in the Expiration Date field. In some cases, such as if you have Temporary Protected Status, your employment authorization may have been automatically extended; in these cases, you should enter the expiration date of the automatic extension in this space.

I would appreciate your help because I could not find a clear answer online..

Thank you all

Hi Shiran,
I just reached out to my HR now to check if everything is in order so we won’t run into any troubles in the first week

Call uscis and ask for Tier2 representative. Tier1 who usually pick up the phone but they are useless. They see the same thing that you see online. Ask for Tier2 if you need any help. Tier2 representatives work from 8 am to 2.30 pm East Coast time. Call right at 8 am before the line gets too busy.

Hi Anna,
Congrats to your EAD approval!!
My NOA is March 6th and I have the "Ready to be scheduled for an interview" update since April 8th. Some people get the "Interview was scheduled" a few days or weeks later. For me, it's been more than 5 months ...

Hi all,
I am joining the group. Nice to meet some fellow frustrated people dealing with this tough and ongoing process.
I filed the family based AOS on March 20th 2019. I have fought with USCIS for my EAD due to an extreme delay and a pending job offer and this week my case has finally changed to card being produced. The AOS is still stuck on Scheduling Interview since August 6th. Does anyone know how long it could still take for an interview appointment? We are in NJ.
Best of luck to you all!! Anna

Hi Gigi,
Thank you very much!!! Haha it was really a fight though, I had to apply for an expedite after I have been waiting for almost 7months to get my approval.. I don’t understand why they work on all the expedited cases after one month, but forget the patient people who are waiting and inquiring for 6months..
oh no!! @Gigi2017 5 month is a crazy long time! Which state are you applying from?

I submitted my second round of service requests on September 4th (for both EAD and AP). I got this response on my AP: "Due to workload factors not related to your case, USCIS anticipates a delay in completing your case. USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in the order received and in a timely and efficient manner. "

This is contradictory to what was sent to the congresswoman's office. My SR for the EAD has been assigned to an officer as of 9/14 and I'm still awaiting a response.

Hi fellow AOS filers,

I am new to the AOS group after applying receiving my K-1 visa.

I have a question regarding Adjustment of status for K-1 fiancées.
This is the document checklist and I have a question regarding this point (see marked with yellow):

When I had my K-1 interview they collected all my original police certificates and kept the originals. I have no copies, because I expected to get them back.
I have no convictions, only proof of clean records.

Do I need to submit anything here regarding this point?
Is it only for people with convictions/court records?

I am really grateful for your help!

Anna

You being from Germany but going through the embassy in Stockholm doesn't make a difference other than you needing police certificate and birth certificate etc from Germany. Other than that it's the same for you as for us Scandinavians.

You don't send anything to the embassy, you bring everything with you in person when you go for your interview. Every step after the process after the NVC stage is very much embassy specific. You can't listen to how they do it in any other embassy as their process won't be the same as the process in Stockholm.

It generally takes 2 weeks (including weekends) for the embassy to receive the medical results. You will receive your decision of your visa application once they have all the documents they need, including the medical results, so they can deside what to do. If they don't have the results by the time of your interview, they will just wait until they receive them to make a decision.

NOA2- 10/4 (Received hard copy in mail on 10/9)

Good luck to everyone still waiting.

I hope you guys will all get your approvals this week!!!!

Is there a group for the next steps after Noa2 for the Stockholm embassy/Sweden?

I am a German living in Sweden, so a Germany group would also be ok..

Good luck for this week to everyone who has not received their noa2 yet!!!
