Hawkeye, I am just really working on the citizenship for a crack at a new program in the US Army that expedites training for qualified special forces applicants called 18x.

There may be a few other benefits when creating a biz or something similar, but again, that endless tax is the primary issue/concern.

Beantownbabe, thanks for the good wishes. Yet again, nothing in my mailbox. ;( I wouldn't be so upset about it but to see you all getting yours in 3-4-5 days and I am going on 10, just makes me wonder. I was reading another thread and someone said they're wife hadn't got her Biometrics letter for 3 months. I can't believe that. It that happens to me I'll go nutzo.

Like I said yesterday, there is always tomorrow.

--- im one of them, they received my packet oct 2, and NOA date is oct 7th... case was transferred oct 28th and got a notice letter about the transfer 4th of nov, i-485 touches on nov 4,5 and 6... And until now i dont have my biometrics yet!!! I am giving until this week and if still no biometrics letter i will make an infopass appointment next week... (its a 2hrs drive from home to Norfolk-my local office, just to talk with Immigration Officer about my case)

Oh...gotchya TonyDanza. I'm going to look into it further in case we have kids or other such nonsense....but until then I'll just keep the greencard.

Got my biometrics done this morning. They were able to do both the EAD and AOS prints even though my EAD appointment wasn't until next month. It was really busy and they were less than friendly to say the least, but all went smoothly.

Yeah, I've already got a "mini-me" born here, so I guess that's another one of my reasons for desiring Citizenship!

We got an e-mail saying that our case is postponed and they sent RFE. I was dreading this day. So I'm all freaked out now, we thought we sent everything right (((((

You may indeed have done everything right and it may be their mistake. Just give them what they ask for and you'll be on your way again. It could be something simple as a forgotten signature or out of date form or something. Good luck!

I just instantly started to stress and think about the worst case scenario.

I guess the link I posted earlier for the timeline did not work..

Try this: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pze...X2bQoUgSQKgZsDw

Hey Rosie, thanks for giving us the link again. I dont want to sound annoying but my biometrics appointment is on

Novemeber 24, 2008

Thanks I finally got the link to work too. But Im not on it Its ok thanks for correcting it.

Yes you can send in EAD form but you will have to send it along with $340. If you send it in with you AOS package, it would of cost 0. No problemo.

Greetings again folks,

I realized that, in my haste, I neglected to submit an EAD along with my 485 submission. Now, is it possible to submit this after-the-fact or is this now impossible?

Thanks for all your help.

I dont think you can just send it in with money. I think need a copy of the NOA or some proof you did sumbit in your package already cause I dont think they are just going to look for it.

Hey all, just wanted the concerned to know I'm still living- and still waiting for my biometrics appointment. Everything has been on standstill since they got my response to the RFE. Anyway, its good to see so many people making progress on their cases. I'll once again be able to devote some time to helping Rosie with the spreadsheet tracking, as my move is now complete.
