Hi everyone,

Still waiting for any news...my file has not been touched since July 22. On Tuesday the 9th we have an INFOPASS appointment downtown, so I hope we get some information as to how long it might take for him to get his work permit. I've heard the INFOPASS appointments can help move things forward, so I hope it helps.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Jen and Kim

This would be for his EAD. It seems like most May filers have already received their work permit. I know its too soon for the AOS. He's beginning to go a bit stir crazy just sitting around. Just trying to see if this might push things forward a little faster if possible.

Thanks!

Jennifer

Hmmm maybe, I even tried clicking on continue, but it just kept saying "please select a date" but there was no way to select one. The government likes playing games with your head, don't they?

Jennifer

We tried it in both Internet Explorer and on Firefox, and I tried using his name and using mine, same thing happened.

Hi there,

Our case is taking a long time to process, so I heard that it is a good idea to make an INFOPASS appointment on the USCIS website. So I went there, put in our information, but when I get to the calendar to select a date, the calendar looked like this (in both internet explorer AND firefox):

Am I doing something wrong??? Or does this just mean that there ARE no available appointments? Thanks!

Jennifer

Hi there, I went to the uscis website today and looked into an appointment on INFOPASS and when it got to the calendar of dates for August and September, ALL of them were blocked. It would not let me select a date. When I tried hitting CONTINUE, it said please select a date, but it was impossible to select any date since they seemed to all be blocked. Has anyone else experienced this? What am I doing wrong? Or are all those dates just unavailable?

Thanks!

Jennifer

Congrats to all the approvals!

I think at this point we are the only ones who applied in May who are still waiting...

Congrats to everyone with good news!!

I received 2 CRIS email again on Aug. 13th stating that the EAD Card production has been ordered, how many times they will send me that email befor my card arrives

At least you GOT that email. We just..... wait.

Congrats to all May filers who have had good news!!!

USCIS received the 12 months worth of bank statements today and is resuming our case. Yes, EVERYTHING was put on hold until they received this evidence. Hopefully things will be ok now and our case will move forward. I'll keep you posted!

Have a good week everyone!

Jennifer

Hi there, I haven't really posted but I am now! I have seen a few that already have card production ordered! Thats great!! Congrats to you!

Of course, ours is going to take longer like it has right from the beginning. We applied May 22 and we JUST got an RFE on Saturday asking for 12 months worth of bank statements. I am relying on my assets since I do not make enough money to meet the income requirement because I have been going to school for the past year and a half. I have enough to meet the 5x 125% of poverty level requirement in the bank, and have had that amount for the past year. I didn't know to include 12 months of bank statements, originally I just included a letter from a bank officer stating my total deposits for the year and how much is in my account presently. We mailed back the bank statements today. We were hoping to have his EAD by sometime in August, but now it looks like it will be delayed til September. He's beginning to get a little antsy just sitting around, he's more than ready to start working!

I am just glad for this part of the process he's here, and it isn't anywhere near as stressful as it was before he got here, but its still a bit frustrating waiting for the government wheels to turn.

Hope everyone is having a nice summer!

Jennifer

Hi there, we are also May filers. We filed May 22 and got our NOA's on June 2. We have not gotten the biometrics appointment time yet. Good luck everyone!

Congrats! That WAS quick! Hoping the rest of your journey goes quickly and smoothly!

Jennifer

Yeah a leave of absence would be better, my fiance did that when he came here, and had a letter with him saying that his job was expecting him back on a certain date to finish a project. That way if they questioned anything upon his arrival in the US, he had a letter to show that he had a reason that he had to go back. They did not question anything, but I think it is a good idea just in case.

Jennifer

They only looked at my income, not his. They want to know that you can support him and that he will not need government assistance. Good luck!

Jennifer

oh darn, i thought it was gonna be she let him do something else.......

I think not being with our SO's for so long has gotten to us

Good luck with your dinner! My fiance makes a GREAT lasagna and its not hard to make, so I think thats a good suggestion. Skip the frogs legs

Hi there,

Ours said:

1. Pending Administrative Processing.

That's it. I sent you a personal message too.

Try not to worry, I know I made myself totally sick thinking they were going to say "not approved" when that isn't what happened. Just read my thread about it to see how crazy I got! I was in a TOTAL panic, I could not eat, sleep, or think straight until that consular officer called us and said "approved." I am sure once they get those police records you'll get the approval.

Jennifer

Don't worry too much! We were also given a 221(g) in Stockholm, and a week and a half later (longest week and a half of my life) we WERE approved! They also kept his passport after the interview. Just try to get them what they need as quickly as you can, and everything will hopefully be ok Good luck to you!

Jennifer

Congratulations! Time for wedding preparations! I'm planning ours now Lots to do! Best of luck to both of you!

Jennifer

Congratulations to you! What a great Valentines present! Best of luck to you both!

Jennifer

They really just want to know that you two have met in person at some point in the past two years, which you have, so that's good. I do not know if they will want more proof or not.

Good luck!

Jennifer

249 days? Ours took 246, so you might just be pushing it. I might book certain things that you can put down a deposit on just to reserve them, but I certainly would not pay full out for anything yet. Before I knew he had his visa the only things I booked were the hall where we plan to marry and I got my wedding dress. Now that I know he has the visa in hand, I'm busily booking everything else. Good luck and I hope things go quickly and smoothly for you so you can still have your wedding on your planned date.

Jennifer

Good luck you two!!!!! I remember waiting for the phone call, I think it was the longest day of my life. Best of luck!!

Jennifer

Welcome! Best of luck to you for a smooth and quick journey!

Jennifer

That was hysterical! You should write a book! Congratulations and hope you two have a wonderful life together!!!

Jennifer

Congrats to you, and best of luck for a smooth journey!
