AOS & EAD Feb. 2008 Filers

[JaEnglishGirl 34]

Soooo...yesterday got an appointment for my SON'S biometrics!

It's an appointment for June 20th, but going to take him tomorrow and hope they let him do it then.....

I did wonder how comes they never resent the 'mystery' document they were going to resend.....

Weird thing is that on the website, the status is

On May 14, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

I guess the biometrics is ADIT processing?

My spouse arrived in the States as the K-3 visa holder, so which do I check ???

I would really appreciate any help

And also , we are residing in Salt Lake, Utah, does the application go to Chicago lock box or where is sent to ???

Thank You everyone

On the USCIS website they tell you the date of the cases they have just finished working on. Here's the link:

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/NBCprocesstimes.jsp?

I called today. They won't give you any more info than what you already have. Where did you find that they were working on cases after February 25?

Hi All!

My husband applied for AOS/EAD on February 4. I've checked my case status online, it says still pending. The USCIS website says they are working on cases after February 25 so we're just wondering when ours will be approved. Has anyone called the customer service line before? Do you actually talk to a real person? Is it worth calling?

Thanks for your help!

That's great! Crazy, we have the same local office (Denver) and our interviews are nearly a month apart. Such a strange process....But I'm glad you know when it is now!!

question: my case-status says that my file is at the national benefit center. (since.....04/13).

but when i look at the processing times for the national benefit center, there is no informationa for I-485.

are there any other filers whose papers are at the nationalal benefit center?

I have no idea how their logistics work but when I click on my I-30 and I-485 applications on the USCIS website they still indicate that my case is at the National Benefits Center location, and I had my interview already.

Hi,

Had my interview in NY this morning and was approved!

The lady was very nice, asked how we had met, asked where my wife worked, asked me to describe my wife. She looked at my wifes pay stubbs and employmet letter. She spent along time looking at our photos, and chatting with my wife about them. She took the joint bank account info and utilty bills as evidence.

Was slightly nervous when she asked me why I entered on AP when i was on a H1b, but the H1b has expired, she looked puzzled and not happy about this, then it was ok.

She approved me, and knowing i`d traveld recently for work asked if i needed to again soon. I will be traveling for work next week so she said she would try and stamp my passport with the 551. She went and asked her boss and came back with the stamp, stamped the passport and explained what it meant. She told my wife it was very very rare for her to give a stamp. I would be receivning the card in the mail within 60 days, likely to be 2 weeks. Explained the conditions of the green card and that was it.

Completly happy, my visa journey has been 10 years now, since i forst applied for my H1b, so happy to able to live a normal life with my wonderful wife.

cheers

Peter

Congrats Peter! So they didn't ask you whether you had worked as a prostitute in the past 10 years or engaged in illegal gambling, whether you had been a nazi, a member of a Communist Party, guilty of genocide, or were planning to overthrow the US government? I thought these questions were standard fare (I recognize some of them from applying for F-1 visas) but now I'm thinking that maybe they had some concerns about my case.

We really are more or less on the same track (not just the same office) I too started my visa journey 10 years ago, and have progressed from F-1 to H-1B and now the GC-- well, still no official approval on the USCIS website but I think I'm pretty close. It will probably get approved 1 day before our second wedding anniversary-- but I'll take it.

thankyou and congrats to you too, its just a fromality for you now.

haha yes they did ask all those questions, hard to keep and straight face when someone says `dont be offended but have you ever worked in prostitution` !!

No update for me also on the website, she said I would be entered into the computer as approved that afternoon so it will be ok when I travel this week, fingers crossed.

10 years is a long time, I am glad we are both coming to a happy end. i guess it makes you patient for the family based process, i still have a greencard application pending via employment (obvioulsy dont need it now) that is still not current date over 5 years later, family based felt very quick by comparison.

I am looking forward to visiting family and vacationing when and where we want. best wishes. Peter

Yep mine are. Once you get your interview notice they are supposed to forward your paperwork to your local office. So go check your local offices processing times.

second_stage I can only hope. I keep hoping I will be one of those that doesn't get an update, just a card in the mail lol. I also hope to win the lottery and that isn't working out to well either lol.
