  1. Congrats, guys!

    Thank you Kim, I sound like a broken record in here, but I am so shocked and I totally didnt know it was going to be the way it was and I am totally blessed and have no complaints about anything knowing now my process was so quick and smooth. Have you heard any word about your biometrics appointment yet? Sorry you have to be going through this mess with USCIS and hopefully you will get that bio appointment letter soon. Merry Christmas to you.

  2. atm im in vacation in VA and My wife still in CA just called telling me I received my interview in february 2 2009

    I didnt hear anything about my EAD too

    Congrads to you Yass on receiving your interview notice and I bet you were excited to hear the good news. I also received my interview notice Saturday that past and my interview is in Feb 3, 2009 @ 2pm. I also didnt hear anything about my EAD, but we will hear something soon. Merry Christmas to you.

    That's great news guys, congrats on the interviews. :star:

    Getting close to having a break from all that paperwork :)

    Thank you Smallz, I still cant believe it, I am so excited that I am almost done with USCIS for 2 yrs. I hope you will recieve good news really soon. Take care and Merry Christmas to you.

  3. Hey Canadianmade I couldn't help but notice the update on your timeline signature.... You have the interview in February? Congrats ...things seem to be looking up for the late October filers... Yay for you!

    Hi CrystalBlue how are you? Thank you for the congrads, and yeah my interview is in Feburary, really crazy, I cant believe it. I am so thrilled with the news, I cant even believe it. I agree things are really really looking very good for the october filers and now especially the late filers such as myself and many others. I do hope you get good news really soon and what is your timeline like and have you heard anything about your process so far. I am very very blessed and lucky to have had such a easy, smooth and fast process, its incredible and I truly hope the same luck rubs off on everyone. Merry Christmas to you.

  4. Hey CanadianMade,

    Yes its a wonderful feeling to know that your hard work is paying off and i see you got some great news as well today..Congrats on getting your interview notice today..You will fill us in on your interview because its before mine and you know that your EAD paperwork is gonna get touched.. and production of your card..i say maybe in two weeks because you are almost on on your 60th day.

    HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

    Hey VJ Members and my fellow October filers,

    After a long day shopping with my hubby, came back to check my mailbox, and there was my EAD and interview letter. My interview date is set for February 24th @ 8am. GOD IS GREAT Y'LL.. I called my parents in my home country immediately and they were so overjoyed to hear such great news. :thumbs::dance:

    And all the others who got their card production ordered, my EAD came in the mail 10 days after. So interview notices are in order for you guys who got EAD approvals. I had a very good time on this website and i will stay until I'm ready to file for citizenship. For those who are awaiting biometrics and EAD, AP approvals, stay on it, make necessary calls, call them everyday if you have to and thanks to everyone and i will be online checking frequently on everyone's progress and all the excitement.

    HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! :dance:

    Hey SweetnSexc congrads to you on receiving your EAD and interview letter in the mail, now that is what you call a good early Christmas. I am glad to hear your parents are overjoyed and they should be, congrats once again. Wow that is nice to get mail like that. Really nice words of encouragement SweetnSexc to all of the filers here. Have a good Christmas.

    I totally agree with you SweetnSexc, our hard work has definately paid off. It sure is nice to know that USCIS is actually working and we the people who filed are getting the necessary answers we rightfully deserve instead of getting the run around and half ### answers from customer service. Thank you for the congrads, I am really excited as you can probably tell. I will definately share my interview experience with everyone, absouletly. I hope you also fill us about your interview experience as well. I will be looking out for the EAD, but by the time I get it, it will be only a few weeks till my interview, so I will definately just wait for my green card to find a job, get my drivers licences, register for school and travel.

    Hey guys I also have some very very good news to share with everyone in here. Like SweetnSexc, I checked my mailbox, and I also received an interview letter in the mail. I was so shocked, and I originally thought it was an RFE letter, so I had to read the letter again to make sure my eyes was not playing tricks with me. It was an interview letter, my wife, and I were so excited to receive such good news before Christmas, WOW. I am so friggin stoked, you guys have no idea. I am on clould nine guys. My interview is scheduled for Feb, 3 2009 @2pm. The weird thing is I havent heard any word about my EAD and I am a late filer, so I didnt expect to hear any news until the new yr, but hey I will take it.

    I personally want to thank everyone on this thread for their advice and help in this process, thank you guys. I also want to tell everyone, that anything can happen in the immigration process, you just never know and good news is coming to everyone in here. Congrads to everyone in here on their AP, EAD approvals and interview letters. For those who are still waiting, good news is coming sooner than you know it and keep your head up. I honestly never thought I would be this lucky honestly. I will still be around here, I love VJ, I will be here till I get citizenship, and I sure do want to be around here to see everyones process. I definately have met some very cool people in here, and I am very glad to have met everyone in here and go through the same process with everyone, it sure isnt easy, I will tell you that. Good luck everyone and I cant wait to hear others in here share good news.

    Merry Christmas to everyone in here and hope you have an enjoyable one in advance. Take care.

  7. Congratulations Alxmrt, Shieun and Necko! EAD's and AP's are rolling in for October filers - whoever said they must be clearing off desks before Christmas must have been right. Gradually we'll all get there - hang in there all who are waiting - soon, SOON!

    Shieun, have a great trip!

    I guess us later October filers will hear some good news in the New Year..seems about the 60 day mark is when people are hearing things are moving forward.

    Patience is a virtue...... :wacko:

    Yep that is what I think too Fuzzymiss, I am also a late October filer, so hopefully we late October filers will hear something in the new yr. The one thing with the immigration process is you sure do learn quite abit about patience. Hoping us late filers will hear good news in the new yr. Congrads to everyone who got approvals and keep them coming. Shieun have a good trip and I bet it will be nice to back in your home country to see friends and family.

  8. The only news I have is that I have received my AP.. but no EAD yet.

    Since I already work it's not that important for me.. what I am REALLY looking forward to is the interview letter... Come on USCIS, make me a good Christmas gift and send me an interview letter! :lol:

    The thread sure is quiet after all the good exciting news that happened in this thread. I also noticed that most of the people who filed from 9/29/2008 to 10/11/2008 got their EADs, APs or both. It makes sense to me though the eariler you file, the sooner you should receive it. I do congradulate everyone on getting their approvals. I know that I will be at the bottom of receiving news because, I filed late which stinks, but it is what it is. I just want to receive my EAD and its pretty frustrating because, I havent heard any news since my biometrics appointment. Take care and I do hope for those people who are stuck currently in RFE, keep your head up and for those who are waiting on interview letters, EADs and APs it is coming. Take care everyone and Happy holidays to you alll.

  9. hi all,

    woohoo! i forgot to come by and say my husband receieved his EAD card and AP on the 8th! 41 days til interview!!!

    good luck everyone.

    Congratulations! I bet he was beaming from ear to ear!!! 41 days til interview? Wow, that's amazing too!

    No news on my part. 'No news is'...well, no news!

    Anyone else got some good stuff?!

    Congrads to everyone who has been getting EAD & AP approvals, I am glad to see the excitement in this thread. I have no news either Beantownbabe, who knows we will receive ours soon. Anyways to everyone else who hasnt heard any news, I hope good news comes to us all very soon and hopefully before Christmas. I am amazed that some people in here have interviews coming up, so good luck and be well prepared. Make sure you give us details about your interview experience.

  10. I just checked on the USCIS website and my EAD and AP were approved too. No more staying at home doing everything I want, time to go back to work... I kind of feel sad about it. I guess it's life... that's still nice to see that USCIS is working though.

    Fingers crossed for my CRIS email tomorrow i hope. It would be perfect timing as xmas is getting expensive with my nieces first xmas and my other niece is nearly 2.......

    My biometrics was done the day after yours.....i will hopefully post good news tomorrow

    Hopefully Alxmrt you get an CRIS email tommorow. I think you have the best prize of them all, an interview date, so you will be getting the green card really soon. At this point, I wouldnt even be concerned about the EAD and AP since the interview is coming around quick. Congrads to you though.

  11. Whoa!!! Wait a minute people! I go away for just one day and ALL THIS happens?!!! I am so very happy for you all! I can see the grins on your faces from all the way in cyberspace! NEXT?!!!

    I know, tell me about it Beantownbabe. You will be getting your EAD and AP very soon, I predict in 2 weeks the most. I cant wait to feel the excitement LOL, but I know I will be one of the few people in the group who will get their EAD.

  12. Oh very cool SweetnSexc, I do hope you will be able to find a job in Accounting. Very small world, I have an Accounting degree back in Canada and to be honest, I hate accounting so much, but hey its not for everyone. I am definately going to go back to school after I get my green card within the healthcare field, dont know exactly what yet, but work and school is the goal. I do hope things do happen for the rest of us soon and so much good news is going around.

    CanadianMade,

    I have a Bachelor Degree In Accounting so I most definitely get a job in Accounting but for the real good jobs, I have to have my permanent resident card. I once was offered an Accounting job, and they liked the fact that i had my degree but they needed me to have my card and I diddn'tnso Im looking forward to getting an interview as well so I can get that damn card and move on up. Things are moving so in know all my fellow OCTOBER FILERS will get approvals. :thumbs:

    Hey My Fellow Octobers! Don't worry things are starting to happen for us, looked at my status today and saw this message:

    On December 10, 2008, 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. WOOHOO!

    Note to everyone, if by the 70th or 75th you dont hear anything. PLEASE do a service request, do it after two months if you cant wait with a legitimate reason. Im so excited cuz my last DL expired on my bday on November 29 of this yr so I can get a new one. Hang in there, Im an OCTOBER 1st filer..and i was a lil worried when i saw interview letters after my filing date but I guess things are starting to happen for us OCTOBER filers.

  16. So I took your advice and called USCIS and today must be my lucky day because I actually spoke with a human being instead of those gargoyles they call Customer Service reps. She was nice enough to put in a service request for my biometrics appointment, so hopefully I'll be getting one soon. :thumbs:

    Hey Kimcorne, I am very glad to hear the good news you received today. Its nice to hear that you actually talked to a human being in USCIS. Hope you get that biometrics letter soon.

  17. Still nothing today. :crying:

    Hey naviomelo, I am in the same boat, in some way, since my biometrics appoinment, I havent heard anything about my progress at all, we are pretty much in the same timeline, I have noticed though in your timeline that you havent received your bio appointment yet, I think that is really crazy, I am sorry for what you are going through. Have you called USCIS customer service number, I know its very useless calling them for any info, but it doesnt hurt to try if you havent yet. Good luck to you. BTW the thread is kinda quiet today.

  18. Hey there nervous one!

    Did you get the positive vibes i sent your way?

    Go ye therefore and conquer!

    Come back with goodnews tomorrow, il be waiting dont worry il say a longer prayer tonight for you!

    Goodluck, meanwhile, re check your documents, dont be nervous, get there on time, answer only what you are asked, dont get angry if the IO gets saucy or nasty or rude!

    Dont be intimidated either.

    Say a short prayer before going in... then hurry back to give us the details!

    Good luck on your interview tommorow, I know you will be fine. Let us know how the interview went.

  19. Hey guys how are you? I want to ask you guys, you know on the USCIS site, theres a link on the site that says processing times, I know my AOS package is at NBC in Missouri, but it tells you the processing times for the EAD and AP which, I know is 3 months. The question I have to ask is, I am trying to figure out how long will it would take for my I-485 to be approved in Cleveland, OH local office? It says April 25, 2008, so it is considered to be backloged because the number of months is not specified. How do you figure out how long it will take for my I-485 to be approved and to expect to an interview letter? Is the processing times on VJ accurate for AOS for each local office or no? What about the main graph you see, is that true?

    Thank you guys in advance.

  20. Actually just read this on USCIS website:

    On December 8, 2008, 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.

    Expedite worked.

    hi all.. i have been reading this thread for a couple of times now just checking of the updates of October filer since I am october filer too. anywayz just waiting for my EAD approval now im curious how did u manage to expedite ur EAD? coz i do want to get a job ASAP coz im going crazy just to stay in the house.. :bonk:

    Hi xbabes8, I believe you can expedite an EAD, if has been more than 75 days from the date you filed.

  21. All that message is telling you is that your I485 is being worked on and it is at the CSC. To find out if your case has been touched, when you log into the USCIS site, there is a coulum that says, last updates, look at that date posted and then look at the date you went in for your biometrics, usually you will know, when you got a touch is, if the date is after your biometrics date. Hope this info helps.

    Yea, we got a notice saying it was being transferred along with a mailed notice. This was after the biometrics date.

    All of the sudden today I get that pending notice (totally separate from the transfer) and the case has todays date as a "last update".

    I wondered if that meant it went onto someones desk or something.

    Oh ok, then that definately means you got a touch on your case, and your case is being worked on.

  22. What does this mean? Just a random touch? I already got the notice that it was being transferred to the CSC.

    Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

    The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.

    All that message is telling you is that your I485 is being worked on and it is at the CSC. To find out if your case has been touched, when you log into the USCIS site, there is a coulum that says, last updates, look at that date posted and then look at the date you went in for your biometrics, usually you will know, when you got a touch is, if the date is after your biometrics date. Hope this info helps.

  23. What is needed at the interview? SO I can atleast keep myself occupied and get the stuff together. Also what is needed for the Biometrics? We are going to send out the request for original copies from our K1 visa process. My husband decided to send in originals for a couple things. :( What I get for him not communicating with me and just sending it out.

    Hi **Love** the requirements needed for the interview are: photos, joint checking account, joint lease, joint mortgage, and birth certificates of children if any etc. The requirements needed for the bio appointment is, all of your NOA's, your biometrics appointment letter and a passport or some form of ID, state ID, etc etc. The biometrics letter tells you the required stuff needed. Did you make extra photo copies of the originals you guys sent in? To be safe, I made 2 copies of everything and the entire package just in case. Is there anyway you can get those documents again? I think everything will work out for you and I am hoping you receive your bio appointment.
