Hey! I know this is a December only group but I would like to share my timeline with you all. I tried to send everything on December 2020 and I think it got lost because I never received a confirmation from USCIS or the LockBox so I sent it again on January the 4th 2021.

Hey! Well, I had one from 2018 when I was a Student on an M-1 visa and just used the same one. I tried to get a new one before the appointment at the MVA, I called the nearest SSA Office and they just asked me to mail some stuff like copy of passport, I-94. Proof of residency, NOA1 AOS. But I didn't do it cause it was going to take weeks, so I used the old one and it worked just fine. (You have to apply before your I-94 expires though and mine was very tight) Good luck!

Still waiting on my I-797 but check was cashed today! So it's only a matter of time for the receipt confirmation email/mail to arrive and hopefully the biometrics/interview appointment will follow soon after!

That is amazing, happy for you! Hope we can all see all of of those steps happening as fast as you did.

He/she  is incorrect.  Dump him/her.  

Wow, this thread was a rollercoaster.  Thanks for the laughs.

Lol 😂🤣😂. Watch out, you’re going to be cut down to size by the posse shortly. 

I asked, I didn't tell. There's a difference. Much like there's a difference in respecting someone's original ask and ignoring it.
 
As I said, feel free to delete my account. I thought it was a place I could go to for specific questions, connecting with people in the exact same situation as myself.. not general information the same as I can read myself doing my own Google research.

Thread is moved from the K-3 Process forum to the Waivers forum.
