AOS FILERS - April 2008

[Steph0814 1]

Biometrics Done!

2 weeks early...woo hoo

Good for you, now is just wait.

Did you call before to go?

No, I didn't I read somewhere some offices have walk in days and just went on the chance they would take me in today rather than in 2 weeks.

I tried too, but couldn't find a number for that office anywhere..

This info is really helpful. Thank you I'll try tomorrow! See what happens.

Congrats on your progress all April filers!!!! I think I get the prize for slowest progress. I sent my paper work on April 18th (day 1), got a signature for it on April 21st. It is now day It is around day 25 and I have heard nothing (and my checks haven't been cashed yet!)... just waiting for next week (when 30 days would have passed), so that they will agree to at least look for it... It is nice to see how your progress is going though (hopefully things will go smoothly for me too, once they get started on mine...)

She also said if I brought I485 NOA1, she could give me 1 year DL. So I went back to home and took NOA1 then applied again! Now I have 1 year DL.

So, I think DL office issue DL in accordance with the expiration date of USCIS doc. i485 NOA1 does not have exp. date

I might give this a go because I'm itching to get my permit and start driving! Not sure if they'll accept it here in Missouri though because she didn't even mention it. Worth the try though, I suppose. Persistence may just get us somewhere!

This CAN be a good Time-saving idea ...since mine is still 10th of June.... ..I dont drive yet though...so would be sad to pull my husband off from work and dont get the job done... anybody from charlotte, NC here who may have tried...????

Ash_Cypress,

Do you know how far away the office is? Maybe you could take a taxi or a bus?

Ash_Cypress,

Thanks Steph...looking into that option now. Its 35 minutes by drive. No bus connection in our area, will take a taxi. Hope i would get lucky too...but its worth a try....TIME is GOLD!

That isn't unusual, and most have caught up in the timelines with others that had their cheques cashed and NOA's. Best of luck, hope you hear something today.

Sending all positive thoughts & energy your way ...let us know how it goes.

Thank you Leafgal! Hopefully, we'll catch up soon! ( Only upset because of high likelyhood of loosing nice job offers... but I guess I knew that from the start, so I will stop complaining, let go and relax a bit :-)

It is great to know about the possibility of walk-In biometrics! I will certainly try it here in LA when I am finally in the system! Thanks for the useful info

Thanks to Steph0814, I succeeded walk-in biometrics here in Miami today!

Since my appointment is 23rd, I didn't want to wait that long... (my app notice was of May 2nd... 3 weeks! ). I should have tried earlier!

It was very smooth, no one's mean. I didn't mention that my appointment was 1 week ahead, I just passed the notice. No conversation about appointment, security gentle man checked my passport, and passed application to fill in, saying it's the first time for him to see Japanese there . A handsome young boy took my fingerprints with a few Japanese greeting words .

According to office locator website, Miami office allows walk-in only for military people from 9AM to 3PM, I assumed it's pretty vacant in the early afternoon because there's no base around there... so I tried 1:30PM. Bingo! No queue.

So... where did the appointment date come from??

CONGRATS!

I'm glad it worked! It feels good to have something go quickly and easily...

I still have not update on the USCIS website, but I am sure it's coming soon.

Congratulations on your transfer! This means that you will be approved without an interview! I think most people with K1 visa get tranfered to CSC. Unfortunately it won't be my case... Well, anyway, good luck!!!!

Congrats! I was thinking about going early, too but it is only a week away so I think I will wait. But if it's longer it is worth to try.
