AOS FILERS: NOVEMBER 2008

[Petersons 0]

Really? I hope thats the case then. The website says 14 weeks to six months... But I hope thats just a cushion. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

OMG! I've never seen crazy time like that!! What website does his birth state use??? Ohio uses VitalCheck.

Its just the California state website. I guess its because of it being CA.

Wow! It's hard to believe California's that backed up. The site does say if the processing times aren't acceptable to your needs to contact the county recorder's office. Did you try that?

Yes. They have the same timeline too but they say we may get it by 6-8 weeks. So, still pushing it.... Lets see what happens.

If we don't get it, we do have his passport and military ID to prove citizenship. (He is in the Army!) But you know how USCIS is. Sometimes, if the officer is in a bad mood, they just won't accept anything but the birth certificate. Well, we'll try our best. Thanks for the info though....

by the way ABRANCH & JHUNJHUN...i suggest you take a drive to the office a day before your interview or today..it is kind of hidden...but you will be able to find it!..just a suggestion so you dont feel lost like i did! although i was early i was getting nervous that i was going to be late!!

Hey Tandb!!! Congratulations! Very happy for you.... Hope you get the GC fast now.

Nice to know that you didn't have a big waiting time either....

By the way, I had a question... When you got your interview appointment letter, there are a list of documents on that, which they ask you to bring.

Did they look at all of that whats on your letter or only what they wanted?

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My lawyer told us the same thing it is very tricky. He gave us detailed instructions on where to park and what the door looks like. We will be going in early as well.

oooohh....nerves!!!!! They keep on getting me

Im so glad you made it through. I can only hope to get the same lady as you.

Were there a lot of people in there waiting as well?

We just came back from the social security office. My card has been changed and they put Benny in to get his. We should get them about the same time. We were a little lucky; the guy helping him spoke some German (actually goes there every other year or so).

Anyways, I went to my job interview last Wednsday and I got a phone call from them today that they offered me one position as for lab tecnician......hopefully I can get my EAD this week so that I can apply for SSN....

[cassi9879 20]

EADs look like they're being delivered within two weeks of the initial card production notice. So, jhunhun if not this week it will be next week that you receive yours!

[phoenixwine22 0]

Still I haven't received a second email about my EAD production....I'll assume that it will come in the mail without 2nd or 3rd notifications from USCIS....

I had a strong feeling that I won't be getting my EAD card in the mail before our interview....at least I had my AP now! Goodluck everyone!!!!

oh wow jhunjhun your interview is tomorrow!!!!

:dance: You're gonna have a GREAT interview!!

jhunjhun, good luck tomorrow!

[phoenixwine22 0]

wow i just went to check the mail and my Social Security card was there!!

So exciting!

Of course my husband starst reading the information regarding the card and it says 'Do Not Laminate'

'keep card in safe place'

'do not carry card arround with you'

and he starts laughing

'Your EAD looks more hight tech than this!!'

oh well, I am thankful to the Social Security Administration for mailing me my card so quickly

now my hubby can file his taxes with me as his dependant

Good luck to everyone else!

Tomorrow I will be sending energy and good Vibes to jhunjhun

Best Interview Ever to you!!

[jhunjhun 7]

Hello, I just found this forum for the November 2008 AOS filers. I sent my husbands AOS packet on Nov 15th, 2008, he had his Biometrics appointment on Jan 27th, 2009, and we are anxiously waiting for his EAD to arrive (we sent it in at the same time). I am very worried because I see everyone else, including those that sent in the AOS paperwork much later than us, have received interview dates, EAD approval, etc. I consistently check on the "case status" for both the EAD and the AOS, and there has never been any update since his Biometrics appointment. Is anyone having a similar problem/delay? I'm not quite sure what to think......

(I am not quite sure how to post.... I assume it will automatically attach my timeline...)
