Guys.. got RFE in snail mail today... and guess what... they asked for the same taxes we sent already with first RFE!!!!!!!! We have no idea why they do all that with us!!!!!! + they told us that our Affidavit of support signature expired because we signed it 6 months ago! It is lie as we signed it 4 months ago!!!!!! So i guess you never will prove to UCSIS that you are not stupid... Just gonna sing new Affidavit and send same papers (Taxes) we sent before, but my husband is gonna attach letter saying that we already sent all that with 1st RFE in April.... AHHHHH!!! it is so stupid!!!!!!! can anyone explain me that????

Frustrating isn't the word, I am sure once they receive the information back that they will be ready to approve it. I will keep happy thoughts for you that it happens.

We had an AOS touch on June 17, June 19, and June 20th (yesterday)... What does all this mean? The status has stayed the same throughout and its the first touches we've had that hasn't changed the status... We've already got our interview appointment letter for July 22 back in May..

So what are the touches about?

Jesus holds the key to YOUR future! So why not put ALL your trust and faith in HIM?

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident. (Psalm 27: 1, 3)

Probably just preparation for your interview. I wouldn't worry too much.

TO ALL MARCH FILERS:

Just thought it would be great to start with the thread for all AOS March filers. We will submit our AOS application on Monday (March3). So, with all the rest who are filing this March come and sign up! Good luck to all MARCH FILERS!

Did you send pics and proofs of the relationship when you sent the AOS? I was wondering if that makes it go any faster.

thanks

I know someone who did that and they had the green card in 2 months with an interview in NYC.

I included bona fide documents, pictures, written affidavits, bills in both names, etc and still waiting. No touches on my AOS since the beginning of April.

That is what mine says. Once you get the green card I believe you have to go to the Social Security office to get that changed.

On another note congratulations on the approvals. And good luck to the rest of us!!!!

Yes, the restriction will still be written in your SS card. However, if you get your GC you can return to the SSA office and get an unrestricted SS card. Hope this helps.

I didn't send any pictures as proof of relationship for the AOS. We just sent the required documents stated in the application instructions. Based on my observation, it has became apparent that the speed of approval doesn't solely depend on the completeness of the submitted documents but a combination of a lot of factors. I hope this answers your question.

:crying:Welllllll... Today is day 90 and no EAD. Me and Scott+Marta are still in the same boat. I believe our NOA's are within a few days of each other too. So probably our files are on the same desk of a guy that isnt doing their job. I have an Infopass appointment on Tuesday. It seems like everyone here got their EAD pretty quick but if theres anyone who has ever been to an Infopass appointment and has any advice for me please let me know. Should I be professional? Emotional? Serious? Cry? I want to do whatever it takes to have them push for my case to be done. I know you have to bring the NOA's to prove when it was filed, but would it also be helpful to bring certified mail receipts and emails to our lawyer to show that he was incompetent and didnt complete our paperwork for 3 months? Cause that proves that "Technically" our "waiting" has been much longer than 90 days. Thanks everyone :) I'll let you know how it goes.
