Do they notify?

Hi All,

I sent in for an AOS in a week ago - I am currently in the USA and my status as a "visitor" under the visa waiver program expires on July 15th 2008. (I'm married to a US citizen and applied for residency due to a change in circumstances)

Will I hear back from them before that date - like some sort of recognition of the fact my forms have been submitted or do I just assume they got them and stay past the 15th? (which under other circumstances is technically illegal)

Thanks xo

You will receive an NOA1 soon which is your acknowledgment. They seem to forgive overstays when you marry a USC, but I think it was smart to submit before your Visa Waiver expired.

GOOD LUCK

Once you file AOS, you have to stay put until you either receive a) AP or B) GP

You'll receive the NOA1, which means they've received your application. But to them (USCIS), the date of your visa expiration is irrelevant right now.

Be patient

Funny that I asked this question yesterday - my Notice of Actions arrived today! It only took about 10 days from mailing it! whoo

Great news Katie! Hopefully your entire AOS will be just as speedy!
