  1. Thanks
    siulamvb got a reaction from NMFerrer in February 2019 - AOS Filers!!!   
    This is so weird. While I am waiting for the EAD and hoping it will come faster. 
    I receive a text message saying my interview for I-485 is ready to schedule interview!!!
    What.......
     
    I am in the bay area California, and the San Francisco CIS office is one of the longest waiting time office (21.5 months). I read a notice from USCIS few weeks before that some heavy-caseload office may transfer cases to nearby offices to shorten the waiting time. But I expect my green card interview to be next year.
     
    I am so surprised!!! My NOA 1 is Feb 4, 2019. 
     
    Keep hopeful, good things may happen.

    UPDATE - Just to let anyone who views this post know, I have successfully applied for and passed my driving test. My AB 60 License will be in the mail in 2 weeks. I used a rental car to pass my test, which required me to buy the liability insurance. After a couple of issues with certain DMV staff not knowing the rules I finally got there. Just make sure you read up on your rights and don't let those hard workers at the DMV turn you away!

    Miles away from correct my friend! 
     
    Firstly yes, you are correct that an illegal immigrant can apply for an AB 60.. but the AB 60 doesn't just serve those with unlawful residence. It can also help people who are inbetween status!
     
    Also as for your statement about it messing up a chance of getting a greencard... SERIOUSLY?
     
    ill just leave this here... quoted from the DMV website.
     
    'To be eligible for a California driver's license under AB-60, you must be at least 16 years old, and be able to provide proof of identityAND California residency.'
     
    'By law, no one may discriminate against a holder of an AB-60 license, or use this license to attempt to question the holder's citizenship or immigration status.'

    Us too (Saturday) but a Nov 2017 filer (we were one of the weird rogue adjudicator approved petitions from mid Nov). See you're from NC! We're in N. Georgia and heading to TN for the big day. AOS will be filed hopefully in the next two weeks but we've got until late November to file. 
    Had NO CLUE October was the busy wedding season in these parts but we figured out real quick when we couldn't get into a single venue. 
    Congrats in advance and hope your big day is amazing!

    Forums are also to give realistic expectations, lend experience, show the poster there maybe different ways of doing something then what they are doing may work better or have an outcome that is more satisfying. I shared my experience and you, the OP and others who have chimed in, didn't like the answer. I would think that having a latte and trusting the process is better then pounding your head on a wall and STILL WAITING. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our emotions we miss the help that are in the words before you. There are other places to go to get the answer here on VJ. Lots of tools to use but we sometimes get stuck in one thread and ignore the other ways to find the answer then be on a phone and not getting an answer you want.  But, you can make this process whatever you want. I'm sorry you get your feelings hurt from the emotional express you are on. But I'm showing that there are other ways, less stressful then what you are doing to get the same results. I'm going back to my Latte and see if I can help others who appreciate their "feelings" attended to. Oye Vy.

    My fiancee phoned on 30 July,  he was told that we will get a RFE. However, the RFE was updated on the new site until Aug 10. We received the mail on Aug 13. My fiancee did try to phone to get a fax copy, the tier 2 officer rejected, said we should wait and just hanged up the phone after my fiancee was waiting for 2 hours to get through.
     
    I did see some people get a fax copy. But I think it really depends on who you talk to. Good luck

    I really dont expect this. I am so happy to finally get an update. We phone on July 30, a tier 1 officer said the system showed our case was finished revising on July 26 and will get a RFE.
     
    Finally we get a RFE at night time.

    Yes. Even I phoned yesterday, talked to the tier 2 person. there is no update. And she said that she could fax me the RFE only when the RFE is mailed and the status is updated online.
     
    The only thing I can do is waiting.

    I changed my address online and was sent an email immediately stating to allow up to 30 days for the change of address to be updated. I received a second email less than 9 hours later stating my address had been updated and I called USCIS to confirm and it was in fact changed.
