Legal Alien

Mine too!

No, I think that's only when you give permission with the electronic form you fill in and send with it. As far as I know, that means your file will be made electronic and accessible to more agents, hence why quicker and why you can upload stuff. I didn't want that, too much personal information in the file for me to have it made electronic. So those who do not send that in get the msc number. Meaning that it's physically sitting on someone's desk until they pick it up to look in it.

That would be quick. My status updated more than 12 months after filing, and it only says 'ready to be scheduled for an interview'. Who knows when they will actually schedule the interview. You are going to need patience. The EAD and AP should be quicker.

I have so many questions... Lol

I believe that to be true. I'm an msc number and I filed beginning of July 2024, had biometrics done beginning of September 2024 and my status just now updated on July 9th that the case is ready to be scheduled for an interview. Someone else, also Detroit field office, filed 3 months later and actually had an interview scheduled in June. So there seems to be a 4-6 months delay with msc numbers. My guess is because it's old fashioned paperwork sitting physically on someone's desk vs files online. So 4 months is nothing!

Man, how stressful! Any news?

Me too! But my app did not say anything, I had to check my case online for it.

Still nothing here. I'm getting a bit impatient. I've seen people who filed much later already getting their green cards or at least interviews. Still nothing here. 😞

Neither do I.

Congratulations!

I'm in Michigan and from what I understood is that you're not allowed to drive on a foreign DL when entering on a K1. So I haven't been driving since I entered a year ago. I do hope my SSN and GC will be arriving quickly as it is starting to get annoying.

Yes it would, I answered in the other thread as my situation is alike. When is the last time you received any vaccines?

No you don't. If you are applying for a vaccine waiver based on religious convictions, all you send in is your AOS papers, your DS-3025 that is incomplete (mine was incomplete as I only received vaccines as a child) which you get a copy of from your CS in Canada you went to, and your waiver with your statement explaining why it is against your religious convictions, possibly statements from family members, friends and/or church members and you send all that together in one package with 2 checks (one for your AOS and one for your waiver) to USCIS. Unless you also apply for AP and EAD (I didn't because the waiver was costly enough!), that should be all. I was confused like you, it looked like I needed to see a CS here in the USA to just check the box that I would file for a waiver on form 693, but when I called they would only do that if I would redo the whole exam, which is ridiculous since I had it all done in The Netherlands. So I did not file 693 at all. USCIS already has my medical from the US, and the incomplete vaccine record is what I filed the waiver for. I filed in July and still no green card so I don't have an update yet other than doing my biometrics, but this is how I did it and others before me who had shared it with me. I am assuming you are missing more than one vaccine?

Any good news for any of the July filers? I still have not received anything after I did my biometrics beginning of September.

Unless you don't want to receive any vaccinations and file a waiver based on religious or moral conviction. I came on K1, did my medical in The Netherlands and filed a vaccine waiver on religious grounds together with my AOS and vaccine sheet (DS-something, 2035?). If people have genuine convictions against the vaccines they have that option, but only if they can provide enough credible evidence that they are against ALL vaccines. So if you had vaccines recently it will be harder (not impossible!) then when you only received them as a child, like me. But if you REALLY don't want to receive any more, it's your only option. I didn't have to get the Covid vaccin when I had my medical, it was not available anymore so the CS thought she could administer the others I missed. They're honestly assuming you just take them, I even felt some pressure and the CS seemed misinformed because she said my visa might have been denied, which is not true in case of non-immigrant visas. So I had to explain I didn't want any at all and that I'd be filing a waiver. Same should be possible from abroad, but I think you then have to wait for denial based on inadmissibility to file the waiver.

I did the exact same thing, pretty sure we're all getting that same RFE.

Congrats! There surely is movement. Still patiently waiting here!

Good news, congrats!

I know I could have. But I wasn't in a hurry so I requested it with my AOS.

Sounds like we'll just get someone to handle this for us!

I requested an SSN through my I-485 and have not received my SSN yet either.

Oh following! I had the exact same question, only difference is I do not have my Green Card yet.

I had no idea the files of 6/28 to 7/11 were skipped. I will keep an eye on that thread as well although I noticed that's mainly I-129F petitions an not so much AOS it seems, unless I missed those. So your info is helpful, thanks.
