Hello November filers! Have you started looking for jobs already?

i did!...i applied for 3 already and have an interview tomorrow!..hopefully i get hired soon.

i dont know why you "K" filers are upset about the interview date notices...

dont you guys know that you guys will most likely get your green card approved WITHOUT an interview???

most of your cases get transferred to the CSC which if it does..your green cards will SOMETIMES automatically...get approved without the interview.

you guys have it easy...us b-1/b-2 and other status filers still have to go through the hassle of having our marriage invaded by questions....by officers who may have had a good or bad day..and base our futures on that...

so dont be sore "filers"...and be happy for the people that do have their interview notices...

im not trying to offend or argue with anyone..but its better to be informed...then just to talk out of our a::::s

so ill put an end to that....and good luck to ALL you filers...may EVERYTHING come at its TIME....

terri.

yay i finally received my EAD card today!!!!! now im off to SSA!

received my EAD card today!

how is everyone putting together their stuff for the interview? mine is feb. 10 in tucson az. im so nervous...i know i have nothing to worry about because my marriage was entered in good faith...but its still nerve wrecking!

i have pictures and some bills...and me and my husband both have credit cards...but im not on the actual statement...im just an authorized user..and we are both on BofA statements, but we each have our own bank...he has Chase and I have Wells Fargo...and my mother in law is renting us her house in tucson...but she never gave us an official aggreement or "contract"...

any suggestions would help!!!

metinil: well you sent yours in a week and a half after me..so maybe youll be hearing something soon...im counting my days since when i received my NOA'S...but hopefully for you its way sooner!

abranch: hhhmm..its interesting..and funny you say that the expedite worked...because the same day i received my interview letter, i also received a notice from USCIS that my case was under review because of the expedite..so i dont think it was the expedite, also because the only application my husband expedited for me was the i-765. so maybe it was due in no time..or tucson is on the ball! im thinking your ead will be approved between january 20-27th..thats my guess! but good luck! let me know how it goes...

i hope everyone has a quick process!

terri

Did you expedite your process? How did you do this? What are the basis to become eligible in order to expedite the process?

the reason i expedited my i-765 is because my husband was laid off from work..and due to the economic "crisis" we needed an extra income while he was able to get hired for another job...

here is what USCIS uses....

(we fell under financial loss)

but i dont think the expedite helped my case....i think it was due in no time...

hope i helped

USCIS Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The criteria are as follows:

* Severe financial loss to company or individual

* Extreme emergent situation

* Humanitarian situation

* Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States

* Department of Defense of National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)

* USCIS error

* Compelling interest of USCIS

thanks Canadianmade for your reply. My husband will be calling shortly before they close today. its barely 3 in arizona.

i hope it helps my situation. and it is terrible news to hear before Christmas. I pray he finds a job soon, or that my EAD process speeds up a little.

my 75th day would be in two weeks. so if i cant expedite, i can hopefully expedite by then if i havent heard anything yet. i havent even gotten a touch after my biometrics, i find it weird. because a lot of people get a touch after their biometrics. and i havent gotten one since a week before my appt.

thanks again.

Hi Terri how are you? I am so sorry to hear about your husband being laid off from his job, it is such terrible news to get right before Christmas. The US enconomy is terrible. Yes I have heard of expediting a case before. I know you would have to call the USCIS customer service number and then you would explain your situation as you did here and usually they expedite a case, for people who havent received nor heard any word from USCIS about their EAD and AP within or after 90 days, but USCIS also says if you dont hear anything in 75 days you can expedite it, just a bunch of confusing rules sometimes. In your situation, I think you have a very good shot at expediting your case because in your situation it would be financial as your US spouse got laid off from his job and you need your EAD to make ends meet and contribute to your household. I hope you do get your case expedited and good luck. Merry Christmas to you.

hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a couple of questions.

has anyone ever heard of expediting a case? how does it go about? or under what circumstance can you request one?

My husband just got laid off from work, he works for a bank, so you know how that goes. it would be so much more easier for us if we both were working without having to deal with the stress. If anyone knows anything, your replies would be greatly appreciated.

I tried calling our catholic community services lawyer who helped us, but he is on vacation until january.

please please help.

thank you,

terri

OMG....

i need someones advice...on what to do.

My husband just got laid off from work, and ive heard of expediting a case if such circumstances occur. but i dont know if its true or how to go about this. it would be much more help if i could work and help him out, and having him not stress.

PLEASE PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS HEARD OF SUCH PLEASE LET ME KNO!

thank you,

terri

OMG...I CANT SEEM TO GET A LIVE PERSON ON THE PHONE...
