Hi Everyone,

Well it has been a wonderful two years for my wife and I! After going through the K-1 and AOS now we are starting our Removal of Conditions. The VSC got our package last week. So now I guess we play the waiting game one more time.

Reviewing the timelines, it is looking like it might be up to a six month wait. WOW :wacko: I thought when the USCIS raised their fees, that the process would be more streamlined and faster...wishfull thinking! Remember during the K-1 process how fast VSC was to CSC...I don't guess that applies for the ROC.

Anyway, I was wandering..about my wife's Driver's License. Hers will of-course expire before we get her 10 year card. Will the USCIS send something showing her status is extended so we will have something to show DMV? She works and really needs to have a license. How has everyone dealt with this situation?

Thanks,

Reach449

The first Notice/NOA1 will be the proof of the one-year extension - hang on to it.

Also - if you don't already know - the receipt number on the NOA1 is not the one you can use to track your case on the USCIS website or if you need to call them. The receipt number on the biometrics appointment notice (which will come maybe 30 days or so after the first notice) IS the case number you can use to track/call with.

Good Luck.. :thumbs:
