For those adjusting on the VWP...

[Hydey 0]

I wanted to see who was out there, like myself adjusting status from the VWP. I am stressed and scared as i;m sure you all are and wondered if anyone would like to respond, and leave either an aim SN or msn or something where each of us could chat, or private message here.

Where are you coming from and how far are you in the process?!

Look forward to hearing from you,

As long as you did not have intent to immigrate when you entered the US and have evidence that you intended to return but then got married and decided to remain once you were here you should not have any major issues. There are many here who have done this and are now applying for Citizenship.

I know this, and i didnt but i wanted to share stories and see how everybody was doing like me. My wife and I are sending off the papers soon but it looks like when i send them i am going to be either 1 or 2 days out of status from my I-94, which i am worried about.

My wife is from the UK and we are working our way through the AOS process.

She got her EAD last week..

If you didn't intend to stay and have evidence to prove it, you'll be fine, many people aren't even asked about intent at the interview. I wouldn't worry about 1-2 days out of status, we had several months and everything is progressing fine, we just got the AP in the mail today, no RFEs so far. Overstay is forgiven if you are married to a USC and file correctly.

Weren't you here before as FirmRich?

Yes that's me I have just changed my username. How are you doing? I have my 3 NOA's now and am waiting on the letter for the biometrics!

Good luck! We're doing fine, we have EAD and AP and still no RFE's so far Just waiting for the interview letter now! We never had any updates following our cases on the website, the EAD and AP just magically arrived! I have my SSN and will get my driving licence this week

How did you get your SSN, with your EAD? That's the part i dont get. And here in NJ i think you need to have your I-551 stamp before you can get your drivers liscence!

In some states you do need I-551 in other they don't care who is driving as long as is licensed to drive

They just wanted my EAD and passport when we went to the SS office to get my SSN - I took all our other immigration stuff, IDs etc, but that was enough. I think that is the same in every state - if you can work, you need the SSN to pay taxes etc, so I don't see why you wouldn't get one. Here in FL you can get the DL with the EAD (as proof of being here legally and in the system), it would suck if you could work and not drive! I would recommend going to the actual office to check the NJ requirements, in my experience what websites say/you are told on the phone and what is actually true are not necessarily the same thing - maybe give it a try when you get EAD?

Every case is different. "Comparing notes" might be consoling but at the end of the day your case will be evaluated on its own merit.

No one here can give you anything more than anecdotal evidence. Predictions aren't possible.

I wasn't asking to predict, or to compare notes. I was looking for ideas for home ties to the UK and to discuss them. I understand every case is individual, thank you very much.

Your original post in this thread mentions nothing of home ties or evidencing same. Re-read it if you are unsure of what you originally asked about.

Normally I have no problem with VWP adjusters. But your prior postings are evidence enough for me that you and your wife elected to marry and for you to stay in the US because it was inconvenient for you to wait out a K1 visa in your home country.

I'm sure your relationship is genuine and not intended to fraud the US for immigration purposes. But your methods are less than stellar and you trip yourself up in your written commentary. If you are struggling to put your evidence together, perhaps that is why.
