GOT THE SAME EMAIL FROM CRIS!

AOS APPROVED!

I love you CRIS!

Sonoran I noticed in your time line you got a new I-94? How did you get that??

When we went through US customs using my husband's AP, they took the old expired I-94 out and put in a new one. The whole process of using the AP for the first time was a lot like activating the K1 visa. We went into secondary, and they took the old I-94 and gave him a new one valid for one year. They also took both copies of his AP. One they kept (presumably stamped and sent it off somewhere) and the other they stamped with something showing he was "paroled into the US" until December 29, 2009 (which was one year). Not very helpful if you are not planning to travel anywhere.

Thanks! I did not know they take both copies of the AP.

Got an email from CRIS that my AOS card is in production....WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can breathe now LOL

Goodluck to everyone waiting

Congrats!

I have a feeling more of those will be coming!

How can someone get added to the August Filer spreadsheet?

yea i am just worried i wont have all the paperwork and will have to request a bunch of stuff. blah. thanks guys.

Just curious...was JFK your POE?

So that makes TEN Touches on 1/12.

Stu's AOS got a touch yesterday as well

Congrats on all the approvals and jobs/interviews too!

Wow this is interesting. I belong to another Immigration Forum and other AOS cases there got touched yesterday as well!

The officer said we were approved and can expect to receive the green card in the mail between 2 weeks to 45 days. Woohoo!

Congrats Link!

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with our EAD Replacement App, or if someone is actually working on the case.

Keeping our fingers crossed.

The EAD is processed in a different office, so it isn't because of the EAD. Although it is hard to tell whether it means they are working on your case or just picked it up without doing anything, it looks like quite a few August filers are getting touched, and there are a few who were approved last month, so I think it's a good sign. My husband's AOS was touched yesterday for the first time since CSC opened it on October 7, too, so I hope it is!

Ok wow you too!

It's so great to not feel alone in this. I know every case is different but nevertheless I have been studying timelines here and in other forums as well to get an IDEA of how this is going.

Good luck to all of us August AOS filers!

UPDATE:

We decided to file the Replacement EAD application. We mailed it out via Fed Ex on Friday and the package was recieved yesterday 1/12 at VSC.

Our AOS had not been touched since September but yesterday, after FOUR MONTHS of checking my case status online our AOS was FINALLY touched! I hope it's a good sign. I am seeing other AOS touches around/on the same date as me.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with our EAD Replacement App, or if someone is actually working on the case.

OUr EAD was approved, sent, but we never recieved it. Nether USCIS or our postal carrier had it. So we were told it had to have been lost or stolen in the mail, and that we had to pay $340 and file a Replacement EAD application, to replace an EAD we never got in the first place.

Can they really do that? If it never turned up and you had given them your correct address, it's not your error so you shouldn't be liable for the re-issue fee...

Apparently so.

I called and explained the situation 4 times until I finally spoke to a supervisor. They had my correct adress on file. And we know our mailman very well. So it's just all very fishy. We have gotten every single other corresponce from USCIS without a problem.

The problem also is that USCIS uses regular mail...so there is absolutely no way to track the document.

Hi Everyone! I am new here.

I filed my AOS/AP/EAD in August 2008. Currently our AOS is Pending at CSC. OUr AOS was last updated in September and our case has not been touched since.

OUr EAD was approved, sent, but we never recieved it. Nether USCIS or our postal carrier had it. So we were told it had to have been lost or stolen in the mail, and that we had to pay $340 and file a Replacement EAD application, to replace an EAD we never got in the first place.
