I am so happy to read all these positive and happy posts ! I love you guys and I wish you all the best with your loverssss.

We got through all this crazy process together, we helped and support each other during good and bad moments and I will never forget that. The K1 was a pain in the A$$ but because we were together it was easier to live. We should begin a "July K1 filers for AOS" topic now, cuz' unfortunatly it is not done yet !

Some of us aren't that far yet...

but I graduated today.

Congratulations on graduating...

Mohammed... I am happy for your tomorrow reunion. Let us know how it goes

Plus, work and planning are keeping me busy.

Hey guys ! I passed the written test for my driving license this morning YAY ! The driving test is after tomorrow !!!

I also went to my infopass appointment today cuz I had questions about working authorization.

This is what happened :

The woman checked my passport and my status on her computer. She then asked me what I wanted.

I asked "I applied for my AOS, EAD, AP at the beginning of May. I got an offer for a job and I would like to know if I can accept the job before to receive my EAD because I have the work authorized stamp on my I-94."

She asked me if I got the Notice of action for my AOS and EAD. I said yes and gave them to her with my biometrics appointment letter.

She said : "Even if you didn't have the stamp on your I-94 you can work. We the immigration don't require a EAD while a green card is pending, it is up to your employer to accept to hire you even if you don't have a green card or an EAD yet. As a pending applicant for your GC you are totally allowed to work."

I asked her again, showing the list of the documents accepted as work authorization> She said "I am positive, if you can find an employer who is ok to hire you without a GC or EAD this is not a problem for the USCIS, you are legal here in the USA and allowed to work, once again, the EAD for somebody pending on the AOS is not a requirement for the USCIS it is a requirement for the employer"

congrats on your written driving test. Will the licence be valid until your visa expires in your passport or can you have the licence permanently?

I'm in California and i thought i couldn't get a driving licence until i get EAD?

wow! that is certainly a surprise to hear the lady from uscis say that we can work if the employer is ok to hire without a GC or EAD. That IS good news!!

[Corinthians 7]

Interesting. What kind of job do you have lined up?

[Ju&Ja 1]

Hey guys ! It seems too good to be true. So tomorrow morning I will ask my employer to do the E-verify thing on uscis.com. If it says "not authorize to work" I will print the page, ask an infopass again and say to the immigration that it is unacceptable to come to the USCIS in LA and to get wrong information which can be a very big deal for our future in the USA.

I don't really know about the driving license, I went to the DMV, I said that my international license will be expired at the end of may and that I wanted to get the California one. She asked me my passport and SS number. She looked at my I-94 and K1 visa. At the beginning she said "I need your Green Card". And I said that I'm pending for the AOS and that if I had to wait for my GC to get the exam it would be bad cuz' it could take a year.

She took my documents and asked to different person and she came back saying that it was ok.

I was not really ready to take the test but she filed the application and say "go to the window number 14 and then they gave me the 36 questions and I passed !

I don't think that it is valid til the end of the I-94, I think that it will be permanent.

Corinthians, the job is in my husband company. It is a sound band touring company. My job will be to fix sound material.
