"You have mail!"

I filled out some paperwork to send to our congressman in hopes that he may be able to probe into why EAD is taking so long. I sent it regular mail so it's sort of up in the air if anything will come of it. I will let you know.

Typically it's only 1 biz day to get mail from where I am to the city the congressman is in.

Unfortunately because your EAD was based on being an AOS applicant, the AOS RFE does hold up EAD processing. Hope you hear something soon!

Yea, see that's the funny thing though. Half the people on VJ say it doesn't and shouldn't. But common sense to me says it SHOULD. However the nice thing is I am approaching the 60 day response time frame on the AOS anyway, so when I go in for my infopass I can make a bit of a stink about both issues.

I haven't heard anything about the escalation, but I am not surprised. They gave me a 30-45 day time frame on receiving a RESPONSE to what the status is - LOL.

Thanks for the well wishes I appreciate it.

I hope your green card is approved soon. Sometimes I just don't get how they process these applications...makes no sense at all. Wait...has the government EVER made sense? :blink:

lol His luck has already arrived!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
