AOS FILERS: OCTOBER 2008

[Canadianmade 1]

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.

Hey Kimcorne I agree with Beantownbabe, its good to see you back my friend. That sucks you still didnt hear no word about your biometrics appointment yet. I know you will get it soon. Its good to hear that your all settled in now with the move.

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.

I've read online that you can send the application along with a copy of the NOA, and there is no charge. We have to do the same thing.

Hey KIMCORENE. When I was still in FL I was following AOS timelines of other floridians with jurisdiction offices in Miami and Tampa and it looked like they were all getting their biometrics done late, about 2 month from filing, and right after completening they were getting EAD. That was about may-june. Just wanted to cheer you up

Agree, NOA for AOS with application is as good as if you would file them together.

Your right it is free if you sent in the AOS package and provide proof of it with a copy of your NOA. I feel dumb for having said that now cause I knew that.

And even if your case DOES show up online, you don't necessarily get to see any progress! Mine has said the same thing since I registered!

Hi all.

Well I had a depressing day. Pulled up to my mailbox and freaked in excitment as I saw what I thought was my biometrics letter from USCIS.

Nope.

Instead a nice yellow RFE regarding my i-485. Apparently, my joint sponsor who is a real estate agent and friend who makes well in excess of 125,000 per year, is not adequately above the poverty line. At least this is what I am to assume, as the yellow letter is some generic piece of mail back garbage with three boxes which USCIS has checked all three. And the description next to each box is about a vague as it gets without any case specificity.

I feel like swearing and slamming my hand through a window. I am SO frustrated. I spent WEEKS checking and rechecking that material not to mention I am on such a time crunch although I know we all are

What I dont understand is what I am missing. Of course it is Sat today and the office is only open Mon to Fri so when I call I get nothing.

I included for my wifes affidavit of support, and for my joint sponsor, a photocopy of each of their most recent tax refund statements (whatever its called.) My wife is a bartender so her on paper income didnt exceed 125% of the poverty line this my friend's joint sponsor who far exceeds the limits. The year before he made near a quarter million.

Anyway, not sure what I may have been missing. Any clues? I guess I'll try posting this in the main forum too but alas the wait for biometrics continues.

Blah, I'm going for a beer. ;(

Oh #######! I was excited for you and then I read the post! I read a number of other posts here before where they wanted proof that the joint sponsor was a USC - maybe it's something like that...Can you post exactly what it says and maybe we'll have a better shot at helping you?

I don't blame you - you need to go sink a few cold ones, you deserve it! Keep your head up though...or at least try to!

Thanks BeanTownBabe!

Needed that.

It is just so painful to be counting days and then to have arrive 12 days late, not the form I was expecting, but a form that will probably delay an additional two or so weeks. So almost a month back. It's like ####### are these ####### smoking? They cant make a 3 min call to the person who spends a hundred hours gathering all sorts of very hard to come by material, and who pays thousands of dollars, and wait endlessly and patiently! No bloody wonder there are so many illegals. They damn well desirve it cause whoever put together this #### show might at well be the designer of the indian electrical grid.

I will post what the form says tomorrow afternoon and hopefully can get some additional helpif anyone is in the know. Thanks for the pick me up though
