September AOS filers

[smiley888 0]

im waiting for aomary to post how the infopass appointment went (we are sharing the same problem where we still dont have our biometrics letter).

Hi mellowgeorge, mamada,

I just came back from the local office. Unfortunately, I have to say it didn't work...

The officer wasn't nice at all. She took one look at the date on my NOA (it says October, you konw) and said "Why are you here? It's to early to come here. You must wait for 90 days. Come back on January." Then she wouldn't listen to me. I tried to ask her to at least tell me if they have sent a letter to me, but she didn't say anything but I was too early to come. I was so disappointed that she didn't give me the slightest infomation. That was a waste of time...

So I don't really recommend you the infopass appointment to ask about biometrics letter at this point, especially if you are far from your local office and it takes long time to drive there. I couldn't get anything more than the infomation that you got from Customer Service Center. I might have hit a particularly bad officer, I understand it totally depends on the person, but it is not worth the risk.

Now all I can do is to wait... I am so sorry to say this...

Hi aomary, sorry to hear that and sorry for me and mellowgeorge too.. and thank you for informing us, i was really waiting for you and hoping a positive outcome but i was not.. is really frustrating now what we can do is to wait and wait and wait... but still hoping that they will send our biometrics soon... Thanks a lot for the info.. God bless

Hi mamada,

I'm sorry I couldn't brought you a positive result... I wish it could have helped.

Yes, I'm also hoping the letter will come to us soon. I remember someone posted we can call Customer Service if EAD has been pending longer than 75 days since we filed, so I'm going to call them after December 15th, my Day 75. Have a nice holiday!

Hi Aomary, its ok.. and ofcourse you did help me because of you i won't try to sched an infopass appointment and drive there for 2hrs just to ask and they tell me nothing.. right? so thanks a lot..

I'm so sorry to hear it went like that. That must've been really frustrating. You didn't need someone to tell you how long it's been since your NOA. You know that! You just wanted someone to listen to you and to tell you everything's OK and your case is being processed. But they wouldn't even tell you that. I can't believe this person wouldn't even listen to you. Well, hopefully you'll get some positive news about your case soon. In the meantime, I guess all you can do is wait. Well, at least you're not alone. There's many of us waiting along with you. Hopefully we will all receive some good news soon

Yea. A lot of those officers have an attitude.

I really hoped that the info pass would help you get a biometrics appointment letter.... Damn....

I hope you get your letter soon.

I got my EAD approval today! (Day 77)!!! it say's "Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you"... Does somebody know how long does it take between approval and receiving it on the mail... I know it says 30 days, but I would bet is less than that...

Congrats!!!

My EAD has not been approved yet.

But, from looking at immigration timelines of fellow VJers, it seems to take anywhere from a week to two weeks.

It is on its way to you.

Hi friends.

I just realized that the 90th day from the date on my NOA1 for EAD is Christmas.

EAD card will be a great Christmas gift to me.

If the Santa is busy to deliver gifts on Christmas eve, I am more than happy to receive mine now.

im happy for you guys. ours is no touch since 10/08. this has me really concerned.

@aomary and @mamada: When I spoke with USCIS phone support, they told me to call back after 60 days of receipt date / NOA date (not sure which one). I don't know what they'll do then but she said that before 60 days, they're just going to make us wait for it. So I'll call them again and maybe even set up an infopass appointment. It can't hurt and I'm near a USCIS local office anyway.

Hi Dr_Evo.

My case has not been touched either since the day after my biometrics appointment.

Moreover, my AP still does not even show up in their system...

But, it seems that quite a few people got their EAD and AP approved without any touch.

My friend got an AOS interview notice without any touch.

So, I think we are ok.

I agree. We still haven't seen any action on the AOS or EAD since biometrics, and the AP was 9/18/08. I've seen so many posts with EAD, AP, interviews, even GC received with no touches or updates on the website. That still doesn't stop me from checking obsessively... but I'm trying not to worry too much. I think the site is pretty unreliable.

Hang in there... it's coming!

I got my EAD approval today! (Day 77)!!! it say's "Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you"... Does somebody know how long does it take between approval and receiving it on the mail... I know it says 30 days, but I would bet is less than that...

Congrats on the approval!!

im waiting for aomary to post how the infopass appointment went (we are sharing the same problem where we still dont have our biometrics letter).

Hi mellowgeorge, mamada,

I just came back from the local office. Unfortunately, I have to say it didn't work...

The officer wasn't nice at all. She took one look at the date on my NOA (it says October, you konw) and said "Why are you here? It's to early to come here. You must wait for 90 days. Come back on January." Then she wouldn't listen to me. I tried to ask her to at least tell me if they have sent a letter to me, but she didn't say anything but I was too early to come. I was so disappointed that she didn't give me the slightest infomation. That was a waste of time...

So I don't really recommend you the infopass appointment to ask about biometrics letter at this point, especially if you are far from your local office and it takes long time to drive there. I couldn't get anything more than the infomation that you got from Customer Service Center. I might have hit a particularly bad officer, I understand it totally depends on the person, but it is not worth the risk.

Now all I can do is to wait... I am so sorry to say this...

So sorry to hear that "aomary", but dont be troubled, things will be ok real soon. You just have to get to the right person. Thats what i have learned from my husband. I remember when we went to SSS to change my name on it from my maiden name to married name. 2times they rejected us becuase they said its not possible not until i have my greencard since i am out of status plus its week before i94 expires. But i remember correctly the guy who accept my application week after i arrived here in the US said that once we get married i could change it anytime. I was so disappointed but my husband said that we just have to get to the "right" person and sometimes it takes time to find the one that really wanna serve. Lo and behold the third time my husband called ssa first again and told our situation and she said come back to the office and look for me. And yes for just 10mins were done and week after i got the ssn under my married name.

Some people just find comfort in saying "No" , "We cant do that" becuase it makes their work easier. But there are still those few who are willing to serve and will always take extra effort to satisfy their customers. You just have to be patient to find them because they are very "RARE"!

God bless you and know that we are with you in this journey!
