September AOS filers

[Dutti 0]

After talking to a customer rep at USCIS this morning I decided to completely disregard

any advice these people gave me and do it my way.

After they messed up my file I was told I had to mail them copies of the documents they mailed me

that had somebody elses info on it and wait again for them to send me another appointment for biometrics after they would

review it.

Unbelievable, I already had my biometrics taken 3 months ago,

They told me I couldn`t do a walk in and I had to wait for the letter.

I decided to drive to the Atlanta application support center for a walk in anyways,

tired of waiting...with result!!!

I must say, the people at the application center in Atlanta were the most helpful people I dealt

with in a long time. They made time to listen to me and made all the necessary adjustments on the spot

without waiting.

So, I redid my biometrics (thank god I live nearby!) and am hoping for some progress now.

Fingers crossed...

Oh! you were very lucky that they let you do the biometrics again without the appointment letter. I thought they were not allowed to. how did you convince them to take them again?!

Anyway, you had a good instinct to go there!

I hope it will go faster now!

I suspect that USCIS local application centre has her record when she went there OR she has a copy of her bio appt 3 months ago.

Waiting for some progress...

Some good news for me.....

I received my EAD in December but have just started looking for work. At one time, I had posted my resume on Careerbuilder.com with all my Canadian info. Last week, I updated my resume to reflect my US address and have had 3 email hits and 2 phone calls. I've also applied on a couple of jobs too.

I'm going for an interview on Thursday with Accountemps. I'm also considering on replying to one of the emails I received. There is no information on the company until I actually complete the first step of applying. That makes me a little leary as I would like to know more about the company prior to applying.

Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a job soon. As long as my resume is getting hits, I just may stand a chance.

Hey Olibecca

Congrats on receiving your GC. Now you can relax for a couple of years.

Good luck with the search. I received my EAD mid-December and SSN early January. I started looking early December and start work tomorrow. The job market here has just started to get a little busier after the holiday season.

Congrats. I hope you had a wonderful 1st day.

Congratulations

I am happy it worked out for you.

Good luck job hunting!

I went for my infopass today, talked to a real nice woman there. Very helpful and understanding.

She didnt understand much of the letter I got yesterday.

But she checked the case in her system, and it didnt say anything there about a second RFE.

She asked her supervisor to contact the MSC, where my case is.

And then she said to me - If you havent gotten the interview letter in 2 weeks, contact us again.

So now I will keep my fingers crossed that my interview letter will get here soon.

When it came to the EAD, she said they are backed up, which I am sure is true. But according to Envy_me `s list here (Which I know not everbody is on that) but seems most sept. filers got their EAD.

I hope they will look into my case now and

hopefully give me some good news soon.

lucie&damon - Congratulations with the job

You really had a great idea to do a walk-in bio! ; )

Last night I was so excited to have my EAD approval! that I started to write cover letters for jobs at 3 in the morning, and I'm still writting some right now! My brain is kind of dead now though! lol

I keep my fingers crossed!

I`ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Keep us posted!

Good thing there was no second RFE! Their systems are pretty messed up if you ask me!

I have a feeling things will work out for you pretty soon. That false RFE in the system might have just blocked your EAD, who knows.

Anyways, I hope you have a better feeling having had the infopass and here`s to a speedy EAD production

And to everybody who already started with their new jobs...let`s give this economy a boost, shall we!

I will keep you posted.

From posts I have read here on VJ, seems their systems mess up every now and then.

Thanks

I have seen other people have had some action on their case after infopass, so

hopefully that will happen to me to.

If I am real lucky it will even be good news

He did get the EAD before he got the green card

Thanks :-)

I hope there will be no problem.

But did your friend get the EAD before the GC?

a FRIEND did this and did nothing.......and he

got his green card just fine.

I wouldn't do anything at this point.

This morning Damon and I did our favorite acivity these days: calling USCIS!!!!

Their website is still locked for me...and of course at the same time I asked them to check on my status. Nothing new on my EAD, but she told us that our AOS had been recently sent to my local office! youhooou! I hope they will start working on my application soon!

Maybe that's why everybody 's been touched yesterday, they sent all our applications to local offices!

P.S. Am I the last one still waiting for EAD approval or what?!

No you are not the last one, I am still waiting

And I learned that I wrote the wrong codes on my 765 application.

Yeaaah! We are the biggest loser of the year! lol

What code are you talking about? C(9)?

Did you put a service request? did you hear anything from them since it's been more than 90 days? Did you get a letter or sth?

Yes the C(9) code, don't know where my head was, but I put down a(6)

I put in a service request after 90 days when they received my AOS package.

Which all that happens then it seems, is they give you a long number....

Then I had an infopass appointment in the end of December.

All he told me, was that I had to wait 90 days from when the USCIS received my RFE.

And next week will be 90 days from that.

And he also said I had filled in the wrong code....so I am worried.

Can we believe that the USCIS are able so figure out which code I should have put and correct it ( I am worried that might be to much to ask ), or will they send me another RFE???

Thanks AlHayatZween, really appreciate it.
