Ok, I called up USCIS. this lady had no idea what she was talking about. She said I have to wait another three months to hear from them. It is crazy. I have been waiting for over 80days.

She asked me my zipcode and she checked the processing time. She said, oh now the office is processing April16th application. So you have to wait another 3 months.

What?????? I do not get it.

And the local office has nothing to do with my AOS. I filed my AOS in NBC. Not a local office. I went to the local office to do biometric. and my case is still at NBC.

I talked to three other customer service reps last weeks and all of them said I should do service request after I do not hear anything within 90days.

But, this lady says I have to wait for 6 months for EAD.

Crazy. I want to cry. I am so devastated.

kittycat... u r in the los angeles area anyway for ur AOS

so, please check my timeline, yours might go similar...wich mean next AOS news January and most probably no CSC Transfer.

And not that i don't want to be supportive but stop the drama. You are with your husband and this is what really matters.

in 10 days, call them since it will be indeed 90 days about EAD/AP.

I did some research on the data on the K1-AOS July filers spreadsheet. I found that for all dates (e.g. approval dates of AOS, EAD and AP) the NOA date works as a better indicator than the date of biometrics. I'm tempted to say that it has no use to do walk-in appointment unless you cannot make it on the scheduled date.

AP-approval: Average: 60 days from NOA1

Standard Dev: 5 days

EAD-approval: Average: 65 days from NOA1

Standard Dev: 6 days

reception GC: Average: 81 days from NOA1

Standard Dev: 7 days

Would that mean that following is what is happening:

AP-approvals for cases with NOA1 from 08/06/2008 t/m 08/16/2008

EAD-approvals for cases with NOA1 from 07/31/2008 t/m 08/12/2008

reception GC for cases with NOA1 from 07/14/2008 t/m 07/28/2008

I did this just for fun so no guarantees.

lol Manufred....

Be careful... the AOS so far are ONLY for people who got transferred...

who knows about the one who are not transfered and for those, i would recommend to check out what's going on at their local office through the VJ stats.

true that... walkin biometric does not help, it's just convenient for some

the point is to have the biometric done at some point or another i think

We got our NOA on July 7th. We were transferred on July 30th. We haven't received GC, so I think your stats may not be accurate. :-)

- Take that back, just got an update today - Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident. I should have checked that first, lol.

Amen to that, you can check in 10 days! I hope you can get someone who is not a space cadet at USCIS.

I agree with melusine that what's important is that you are with your husband....things could be a lot worse, and it IS for some, unfortunately.

so glad that i can see my AOS updates now it was transfered on the 8th and touched on the 9th

when were you guys able to see ur EAD online the process of that?? I can see the AOS and track that just fine but when i put in the number for EAD shows that it hasn't been updated yet and or invalid. When you could see it what did it say? just processing?

[melusine 5]

Susie, appearance of cases online are totally random.

Some will see it straight away (NOA1), some will see it after biometric and some will never see it.

Same things with touches.

For example i was on the lucky ones to see my 3 files directly online (at NOA1 reception)

No touches... until approval for EAD/AP

and all my K1 process went through without any touches either...

Wich all makes me think it's totally random.

We got our NOA on July 7th. We were transferred on July 30th. We haven't received GC, so I think your stats may not be accurate. :-)

Lol.....

lol ok thank you I feel better I was worried because when my AOS wasn't online those first two months, I got sent an RFE then AFTER i sent it back it was online, so thought there would be a prob with EAD and stuff as well

Just wanted to add I was offered a job yesterday. The pay isn't great (between his income as a grad student and mine, we'll have about $500 a month in play money once all bills and living expenses are taken care of) but it's a job, and it's a 3 minute walk from my house.

Yay for EAD! I'm happy to have gotten so much done since getting my card. My AP came a few days after my EAD. Now if they would just get a-touchin' on my AOS ...
