AOS FILERS: OCTOBER 2008

[Rosie74 0]

Oh yes, I think they had the Winter Olympics there last year or so! San Diego is beautiful, I was on a quick visit there - are you guys going to move there for work or just "because?"

Exactly! It was in 2006. I was watching the Olympics on TV thinking about most of my friends actually working on making it all happen. It was a very emotional moment for me.

We want to move because of the weather. This cold is giving me a few health issues (besides colds and sore throats) and neither me or my husband have any family ties in Chicago so.. why not?

thanks for the good wishes...defo "party at mine" hee hee

so no change in status on the i-485 but i received the interview letter today...for 27 January first thing in the morning.

one slight worry for me though is the letter requests birth cert and citizenship. can i not just use my passport? i am citizen by birth so my passport reflects that.

thanks and good luck everyone let's get the process rolling so we can get on w/ our lives!

Wow, that's great news, first EAD and AP approvals Congrats and good luck to the rest of us.

Rosie, one little thing about the spreadsheet, we have just one RFE.

They sent it on the 17th, then it was returned back to them as undeliverable, so they re-sent it. We finally received it yesterday

Hopefully it's first and only RFE we get.

Congratulations Kang Lang!! :dance:

I would think the passport is enough evidence for citizenship... I guess they just want to see proof of how you became a citizen.. if by birth then you would have your birth certificate to prove it, if by naturalization then you would have to show a naturalization certificate. I believe that's the reason why they ask for both passport AND birth certificate..

Sorry! I misunderstood and thought it was a second one. Corrected on the spreadsheet!

Holy #######, congrads to everyone who recieved EAD, AP and interview notices, oh man, October seems to be a very good month it looks like, and I am extremely optimistic about things. I hope more good news comes for us all.

[Eli the Barrowboy 16]

Well done ... let's hope we all get news too soon. We are just 4 days behind you ... but we did get a RFE which delayed us nearly a freakin' month!!!

Well my package is on hold due to no medical screening and a RFE was sent out. Our status is that we sent out our I-693 to Dr. Arnold in Texas (Dec. 5th) as soon as we get it sent back we are Express shipping the forms to USCIS.

fellow October filers,

for those who have completed biometrics and have had their 485 "touched" for it, what does the case status appear as? although I sent the RFE and the touch saying "case processing resumed", i have yet to see anything in response to the biometrics which i completed already.

i don't know why i'm getting antsy - uscis always takes forever but it is nerve racking, grrr.

dpolar -

do not worry about no changes after biometrics in our case it just showed as the last update being the day of the biometrics but no change to the status of the application.

GOOD LUCK!
