AOS FILERS: OCTOBER 2008

[KIMCORENE 0]

Hey guys- I'll be unable to update the spreadsheet everyday for the next week or so- we moved last weekend and I haven't gotten the internet at home yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It was great, I was so excited to get that done, so things can start moving, i finally got an medical appointment to have my medical done tomorrow so i will send that in with my RFE early next week..so things can start moving again.. Thanks everyone been such a big help. I am motivated to help anyone who needs help with theirs.

SweetnSexc - how was Biometrics today? Hope it went well! Seems like a few of us are this week!

Check with other surgeon cuz some of em they accept walkin patient.

New to the site and also an Oct 2008 AOS filer. Lets hope all goes well. Already hit one bump. But it wasn't that bad of a set back. My fault in the in end for not signing one document.

hello everyone!

i am so surprized i have not found this thread earlier.

there is actually another October AOS thread where a lot of March K1 Vermont filers were posting. We kind of stuck together and filed for AOS around the same date.

We filed October 16 and i have my biometrics next Wednesday.

One thing is a little weird. Neither of my receipt numbers can be pulled out on the USCIS website. Like they did not upload our case or something.

Do you think i should call and have them fix it?

Anyone else in the same situation?

hi aleena welcome to the party!

quite a few people have had difficulty registering their receipt numbers. seems as though most of us are also not receiving the email alerts that we signed up for as long as you have your receipt numbers.

good luck everyone.

UPDATE: My I-130 which had been sitting in a dusty corner somewhere in VSC has been resurrected and sent to NBC to join my I-485. Reunions are so beautiful.

Yikes! I was sooo scared of doing the same thing so I checked EVERYTHING about 4 times before sending it out. lol!

Ya it looks to be a only a two week set back. So that is the good new. Although I am wait for my 1st notification and my checks to clear.

Ok so we got our RFE letter today.....I sent in my information for the sponser but also sent in my mothers because I knew my income is wayyyy below poverty level. The RFE says that they need the most recent taxes for the joint sponsor.....Would that me my mother? It also states that the joint sponser needs to be a citizen.....SHE IS! Am I supposed to send in her citizen letter or is that just a standard thing they put down?

Yes, the joint sponsor is your mother - if you are the Petitioner. I think the Citizen part is standard wording - I've seen that on a few threads here. You would have to send her passport, birth certificate or something of that nature. Good luck!

Ahh ok well she was born in Cuba and became a citizen later on down the line. She has her citizenship certificate so I may just send a copy of that in. Only thing is the Citizen Cert. has her maiden name....She is now married and with a different name.

I am not the petitioner.....My husband is. Well unless my understanding is wrong I think the petitioner would be the person not from the US right?

Okay, so you can send in her Citizenship certificate/copy - and if you can get your hands on her marriage certificate then I'd add a copy of that with it. And yes, your husband is the Petitioner then and you are the Beneficiary. Good luck!

Hmm, I mailed my packet last monday with receipt on tuesday 10/28. My check still has not cashed yet.

Anyone else experience this kind of delay? It seems from other people's experience that their checks were cashed within a couple of days. Now my wife is getting worried again as her status date is up and coming (11/11).

I took them almost two weeks to cash my check.

Does the check have to be cashed before NOA1 receipt? Is there any relation or order for these two?

my checks were cashed on 10/31 and we got our NOA's on 11/03. I think it just depends on if the letters get to you first or the checks ge to the bank first.

I would assume that they cash the checks before to send the NOAs, in case there would be a problem when they cash the check, but who knows how USCIS really works...

I think I received the NOA two days after they cashed the check.

So I went to Biometrics this morning - all went well except for the fact that it was raining and it messed up my "look good for the picture" hair!!! I looked like a drowned rat once I got inside, but it was a smooth process and quite interesting. I don't know why I didn't even realize that they scan your fingers...I guess I'm old and expected to come out with ink everywhere! It was interesting to see all the different races in the office and now I'll wait to see if my file gets touched online. Who is up next?

My case was transferred to CSC two days ago!

On November 4, 2008, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow the instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made.
