Hey BarrowBoy--

Have you thought of asking them to expedite your EAD? Isn't it an extreme financial hardship that you have an excellent job offer that you need to accept?

I don't keep up with everything in this thread, so you may have already hashed this idea out. I see people that get the expedite and others who don't but it's worth a shot to try.

Really sorry for your frustrations.

eli i am so sorry to hear about your troubles, i hope that they promptly remove their heads from said arses and get a move on. best wishes!

good luck everyone.

I agree!!! I'm sorry for the frustration...I don't even know what else to say, I just feel bad for ya. Don't lose hope yet, though!

OMG! Congratulations, Rosie - I know you are excited! I'm so happy for you! Go have a drink then get busy gathering your things together!!!

WOW!!!

I stopped checking this thread about a month ago around post 30 or 35, cause it became so utterly depressing for me, each additional day as I fell further and further behind.

For those not familiar, I was in very eager anticipation to reach a milestone therefor allowing me to join the new US Army special forces selection program before my 30th birthday. I now will clearly not as I turn 30 in a little more than a month from now. But I am being positive and we'll see what happens.

Regardless, I got back from holidays and low and behold, FINALLY a glimmer of hope in my mailbox. My ASC Appointment Notice, biometrics, for Jan 13th! In Providence, RI no less adding at least a little sting to it. (I wanted and am FAR closer to Boston.) I was originally going to do a walk-in in Boston once I got the letter but now not so sure. Anyone successful at this in Providence? And Can one goto another location?

So, it only took a little over 2 months which most people get in two weeks. I am hoping now I will be back to a 'normal' timeline if such a thing exists. But at least I had a brief smile on my face when I opened it.

By the time this is all done with, if we are successful (God willing), I am probably going to jump off a building to celebrate. Oh, wait a min, make that a diving board!

Congratulations and good job are in order to all these recent developments I have been reading here. And hang in there for those like me. Rosie if your altering the Spreadsheet can you add this development for me. Thanks so much! Appointment is for 1/13/2009 and I got it 1/1/2009.

TonyDanza, I've been wondering about you alot! Congratulations on finally getting at least somewhere! I read some other post that a Boston filer has to go to Providence also, so I wonder what's going on with that? I don't know if you can go to another location or not, but it took soooooo long to get your appointment you might just want to keep it!!! I'm glad you feel a glimmer, or light at the end of the tunnel, but make sure it IS a diving board you jump off of when you're done

Hi everybody, I'm so happy this evening because I've received a letter from USCIS about requesting us to appear for the initial interview on Feb. 11, 2009. Do you think there's another interview after the "initial interview"? Yes........whooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh

I hope my EAD will arrive soon!

I finally got my EAD in mail today....wow thanks so much Lord. Now it's time to apply for SSN so I start looking for job.

Good Luck October Filers!

Congratz Irene, Rosie and to all who have approvals

Oh Thanks so much BeanTownBabe!

Wondering your and others progress as well. Just knew that checking in each day was adding to my already undue high stress levels.

I have to accept that if it happens, it happens.

Still massively behind, but we each have our own path, and caseworker...ha!

I will head your advice and show up in Boston on the 13th....Sigh. (with a small smile)

We got it!!! Valerie received her notice for the initial interview for her AOS. Our interview is February 24th!!! We were shocked to see it in our mailbox last night, because we haven't received any type of updates or touches on USCIS' website. But, we're not complaining!! Just another reason to celebrate the new year!! Yeah! Good luck to all those still waiting to hear anything. EAD is next!!! Hopefully it's right behind.

Insurance with both names- car, health, life, renters', etc...receipts for any major purchases which would have both names, anything showing joint address- that's all I can think of right now.
