Hello All-

It's been a long time since I've been on here. I just mailed off my husband I751 package to the Vermont location.

It should get there by tomorrow.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

My husband's EAD has finally been approved!!!! YES YES YES!!!!

Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On December 20, 2007, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Hey all-

I made an appointment with a civil surgeon to fill out I693 supplement. My husband has had vaccination for Deptheria/Pertusis, MMR. According to the numerous posts on VJ, it seems he will need the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine as well.

I called the civil surgeon today to confirm the appointment and he states my husband doesn't need the varicella shot. Instead, he needs a flu shot because we are in flu season. He also stated being though my husband has had chicken pox before, he wouldn't need the varicella vaccine.

Please advise. I'm scared to listen to him and mail off everything just to receive an RFE.

Hello VJ Members-

I have an issue. I am in the middle of preparing the paper work for AOS, EAD. In relation to the immunizations, he was supposed to complete his Hep B series in August and to be honest, we were busy and forgot to get the additional shot. I believe you have to wait a month between each shot.

My husband's temp EAD expires on 11/10/07, so I have to submit the paperwork this week.

With that stated, is Hep B needed for AOS? Can I submit the paperwork for AOS, EAD, knowing we missed the additional Hep B shot and mail in within the month the new Hep B shot schedule for update? I just want them to recieve the EAD (I765 app before 11/10).

Please advise.

Once his temp EAD expires he is no longer work authorized..... to comply with the I-9 forms he has to be able to show he is authorized to work.... showing the reciept for a EAD is not showing that you are work authorized it just shows that you have applied for EAD....

if he is offered a full time job it is up to the employer to check that he is authorized to work.... so if he is offered it before his temp EAD expires then he can accept it.... now should he then tell them his work authorization expires next month.... well thats up to him... if his employers dont ask and he does not say and he continues to work beyond the expiry date it is the employer who would be in trouble if ICE were to check up... as far as AOS any unauthorized work is forgiven at AOS interview if you are married to a USC....

So its up to you....

Kez

I've bolded what caught my eye. So, technically he cannot work without a new EAD, however if he does work with an expired EAD during the AOS interview they will forgive the unauthorized work, if fiance is married to a US citizen? My Is this what you are saying? Will the employer get in trouble? My husband is the foreign national and I'm the US citizen.

Another thing, I was reading the guide on EAD, if we file after AOS versus at the same time with AOS, it states we may be able to file via walk-in. If this is the case, how many of you have done this and in what local office. We live in Maryland and I'm trying to figure out what the "local office" is? Is it Vermont Servicing Center or is it in Baltimore.

Please help.

Hello All-

My fiance entered the US 8/12/07. We got married 9/7/07. His temp I-94 EAD expires 11/10/07. I'm about to mail off the AOS with the EAD application. Being though his temp EAD is about to expire in a month's time, and from what I've seen displayed here, the new EAD may take over 45-90 days to process. Can my fiance work during this time? He is currently working, and may have a permanent job offer soon...as in tomorrow soon.

Please advise. Can he show that he has applied and the application is pending?

I know this may sound stupid, but I'm just trying to make sure.

Also, while AOS is being processed and his visa expires, does he show his employer that his AOS is pending?

Good Afternoon-

I am getting married soon and would like to have my mother's maiden name and husband's last name as my new last name.

Would I have to go to court to have my last name formally changed? I thought once a woman gets married she can automatically carry her husband's name without having to go to court, as long as she has documented proof that she is married, etc.

Please note, I am a US Citizen.

My fiance hadhis medical examination this morning. Everything went well for the most part. He was supposed to fly to Barbados last night, however, the airline, for whatever reason decided to not go to Barbados, but to Trinidad, with no warning or explaination.

He had to fly out this morning to Barbados and go straight to the doctor's office. Unable to change clothing etc.

As stated, the medical went well, from what he told me. He had a urinalysis. But then he stated the physician had him take another one as well.

I said why. He asked if I've ever smoked marijuana and I didn't want to lie. I told him when I was 15.

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY THAT!?!?!?!?!? THAT'S WHY THEY MADE YOU TAKE ANOTHER TEST!!!!!

I'M SO FREAKING MAD.

He hasn't used marijuana in years. My point is, why would you say that. He doesn't realize they put remarks like that in your record.

His urinalysis I'm 100% sure is negative, put his remark, has left a stain in my mind, so God know what the physicians were thinking. To make it worst, my fiance has dredlocks. Not everyone in the Caribbean likes dredlocks or what they might represent (i.e. smoking marijuana)...yeah

I'm furious!

Should I not worry?

NOA2 !!!!!! It's approved!!! IT'S APPROVED!!!!

Well everyone, it seems my petition was approved last Thursday 5/10. For whatever reason, I never received an email. I arrived home this evening and there was the USCIS envelope facing me. I hoped it wasn't an RFE and it wasn't.

I'm bewildered because I checked the USCIS site constantly and the message is always the same...Case received and pending. I got touched on 5/11 and again on 5/15. I'm assuming that's when it was sent to NVC.

Where and how do we find out it was sent to NVC and the consulate?

I've been touched again....ohhhh it feelllls good. Touch it again so I can....

Oh my bad, didn't know you were there. USCIS has touched my spot again and again. Waiting for them to "complete" now, if you know what I mean.

I'm crazy, you don't have to tell me.

I GOT A TOUCH THIS MORNING.....YEAH!!!!!! I thought my file was just sitting. After 40+ days, someone finally picked up my file.

Okay...now awaiting NOA 2

JustChillin, you are moving right along! good for you! I'm next!!!!! I'm SO NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy for you. Hopefully, according to your timeline, I'm hoping to hear something at the latest next week. I mailed my package off 1 week after you did. Pray everybody...pray!

I know exactly what you're going through. I've sent I129f package on 3/23 and received my first NOA on 3/26 and nothing else after that. It's been over a month! I review the USCIS website every 2 minutes, and NO TOUCHES, NOTHING, ZILITCH, NADA!!! I think frustration is an understatement.

Maybe the same Moron has our file on his/her desk :-). I would not be worried if I had even one touch... since April 5, nothing.

I see that you have your locale center office on your profile. Maybe everyone can answer this question for me? What does the locale offices/centers do for petitioners/benificiaries besided assist with green cards?

Can they assist in the process of the visa at all?

I know exactly what you're going through. I've sent I129f package on 3/23 and received my first NOA on 3/26 and nothing else after that. It's been over a month! I review the USCIS website every 2 minutes, and NO TOUCHES, NOTHING, ZILITCH, NADA!!! I think frustration is an understatement.

How do you think I feel? I sent I129f on 3/23, I received NOA1 on 3/29 and haven't heard anything since then. It's really frustrating because I haven't been "touched" or anything. My fiance is in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the Barbados US Embassy usually expediates cases fairly fast. This is just really annoying. I would like to at least get my second notification.

I'm new as well and I was wondering the same thing. I've mailed I129f to VSC on 3/23 and received my first notice on 3/29. I've registered with USCIS it states the same thing everyday...that it was received 3/26 and the case is currently pending. It's frustrating because I've browsed on this site for the past few weeks and everyone states their package has been "touched". My information states the same thing everyday. I don't know if that means it's stagnant and no one has "touched" it or no one has worked on it. It's been a month and I haven't received my 2nd notice as of yet for approval/denial/or need of additional info or whatever.

My fiance is from St. Vincent and the Grenadines and he resides in Grenada. I don' t know if that is what the hold up is or what. But this waiting is very annoying, especially when you have plans that you would like to execute within the next 2.5 months.
