September AOS filers

[lucie&damon 0]

Grrrr. 2nd and final attempt at good fingerprints -- fail. She said they'll likely be rejected again, can't get good prints. Said after the 2nd rejection they'll probably send a letter asking for a police report instead.

Sorry to hear your fingerprints were rejected again.

Good luck with that!

Hooray! My hubby got his EAD today! Only 55 days from filing! AND! The USCIS Case status online thing didn't update until today, even though the card was approved on 10/27. Very exciting! Hope you're all doing well!

Congrats!!

Good to know that EAD's are starting to come in for September filers. Hopefully this means more of us will start seeing our EAD cards in the mail soon.

Not long been back from my biometrics appointment. It was fairly painless. We arrived 30 minutes early and I was in the office for all of about 7 mins! Some girl was in front of me, so I didn't have to wait long.

It is a fairly small office in Lubbock, Texas. No metal detector machine or anything like that. Handed my letter and passport over to the security guard and then was sat down where I was asked questions like DOB, height, weight etc, and the lady behind the desk filled the answers in on a form.

Then it was my turn for fingerprints and photos. They were scanned them in, then a couple of photos and I was done!

It's great that I've finally got it done, but miffed that we had a 370 mile round trip for a 7 minute appointment!!

Unfortunately, my cases haven't been touched or updated online, but hopefully they will be tomorrow!

I'm sorry to hear that.

Did they specify why they couldn't process them? Did the ASC you went to use ink or scanner to get your fingerprints? I ask because I got a cat scratch on one of my index fingers last week and the skin hasn't grown back entirely, so the scan of that finger has a small gap. I wonder if this is enough for the FBI to be unable to process mine? The fact that there is a break in some of lines on that particular finger.

Wow, congratulations!!!

I am still waiting.....I really hope that I can receive the EAD and AP very soon!!!

You know what, our timeline are very similar. Today I received the letter for the interview date, scheduled for 12/11/08, does it mean everything is going smooth??? I hope so!!!!

It's been 2 months already, I can't wait for the AP already, i really need it by the 15th, so I can go back home for my brother's wedding! Otherwise, I don't know what to do...... =(

I think I'm addicted to check the status on uscis.gov, lol but I got touched yesterday:

Crossing my fingaz

DOes it say that for the all 3? AOS, EAD, and AP? or only for EAD?

Nope, just for I485, je suis trop impatient, mdrrrr

Hello Everyone,

No update, just me freaking out as usual, there has been no update since after my biomeric appointment.

There were touches on the 15th the day of biometrics and 16th the day after.

But since then it says its pending at the office its been transferred to and i would be notified if a decision has been reached and if they need anything.

The Ead & AP.....completely still, not even a "Touch" since 18th when they recieved it in september.

I still stalk the mail man, check uscis zillion times daily, last thing at night first thing in the morning!

Is this same for others who filled at same time with me? Or they have all been getting the now famous "TOUCHES" like i read here everytime?

Meanwhile.... its sooooo gooooood to know that Its September filers turn... Did i hear Ead? Interviews?

YAAAY!!!! Uscis keep em coming!!!!

Much love everyone.

We were transferred to CSC in the beginning of Oct, had a touch on the EAD and AOS 2 days after biometrics, and nothing on the AP since it was received. We're trying to be patient, but it's not always easy! lol We should be used to waiting by now!

Congrats on the EADs and good luck on the interviews!!

Not enough definition. Used scanner.

For the I 797, the lady at the DMV told me that it is a NOA saying that I attended the biometrics. She said she need a paper with an expiration date. Since my I 94 expires on the 13th. She wants a paper that shows that I can stay in the US legally waiting for my green card...

But apparently no one here receives this...

I think I will never get my driver's licence...

I'm in the same situation, no DL so far, because I can't 'prove' that I'm here legally.

So, join the club.

BUT I have high hopes that we are all going to sail away from this situation soon.

Have faith!

This situation sucks! I think I won't be able to have a DL before I ll get my EAD. I just read the Colorado law, they list the name of visa which are eligible to have or have not a DL, and K is not listed, which means that I can but until the end of my I94. For K visa holders they ask a proof of lawful presence that I don't have one since my I94 expires in 10 days. I will have another one when I'll get my EAD.

Will you clarify this for me.....someone told me that even with EAD the most you can get is a state ID and not the DL. Your post makes me think there is some hope for my husband to get a license and be able to work. Is there a place to get confirmation on the process?

Thanks

d) In addition to any other requirement of law or rule, a citizen of a foreign country shall produce his or her passport and visa, alien registration receipt card (green card), or other proof of legal presence for inspection and copying as a part of the application process for an operator license, junior operator license, learner permit, or non-driver identification card Notwithstanding any other law or rule to the contrary, an operator license, junior operator license, learner permit, or non-driver identification card issued to a citizen of a foreign country shall expire coincidentally with his or her authorized duration of stay. A license or permit issued under this section may not be issued to be valid for a period of less than 180 days.

It's a stretch, but based on the "proof of legal presence," looks like you could produce the AOS paperwork and the expired K-1 as proof of identification. I'd give it a shot.

I agree, we should all be used to waiting. Atleast for us K-1 people, at least we have our loved ones with us this time around. I just feel bad for my wife. She is SOOOO bored waiting for EAD. Come on USCIS........
