About a week and yes you can go to an interview without having one. At least with me they needed it once i was hired.

Got a mall with an USPS tracking number, says I should get my EAD tomorrow!

So, as for the AOS which I completely forgot existed. I sent what they asked for in their RFE a while ago. I decided to check on that case and it says they received the additional documents and

"We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you. You should receive a decision or case update by June 21, 2015,"

Is that in any way accurate? That would mean I'd have an answer within 4 months of filing for AOS. I'm thinking that's just a standard date they put on there from when they recevived my RFE documents. I won't get my hopes up and actually expect them to get back to me by then, but if they do that would be incredible.

Also, congratulations Angel! You deserve it after that long wait!

I think it's a standard date they just pick out.. Mine still says the decision will be made by the 29th of April

Oooh good news by the way, I got my EAD and updated SSC and I start working in two weeks! I got a job offer from the NJ office of the company I worked for back in NL I'm so happy! I've been sitting at home for 8 months

[Ralph and Meghan 19]

i'll give you 4 weeks before you want to have a long weekend ;-)

Got a full time job 4 months after i got my green card. (temp job within 3 weeks)

[AlissaCarly 44]

Haha probably! As much as I whine about being at home so long, I will miss it when I'm slammed with work

Wow, good for you! That's really quick!

Last Friday, I went to the dmv office to get my driver license! I passed for the written test and road test! I'm super happy I got that done

[Ralph and Meghan 19]

Congrats. I failed the first time i did my road test. didnt stop before a stop sign and drove 38 in a 35 zone. Passed the 2nd time though.

Hi. I'm Jenifer. My husband is Klaas. We are about to file our CR1. I'm nervous about the possibility of issues coming up, but we are excited to finally be ready to even file. (it's taken what seems like forever to get this far). I'm also pretty bummed about the wait ahead of us...

But I saw this thread and would love a bit of interaction with others who are in a similar situation.

Hi all!!

My Dutch fiancé, Wesley, and I are at the point in the K1 process where he has received packet 3 from the consulate. I just wanted to see if I can get some clarification here as far as what the consulate website says and what the actual letter from the consulate says.

So I know that we are to return the signed bottom portion of the letter in packet 3, along with a copy of his passport biopage and a print out of the DS-160 barcode page and no other documents. But here's where I'm a bit confused. The actual letter doesn't mention anything about including the 2 passport-style photos with it. However, the website states:

"You are to do this by sending the bottom part of the instruction sheet found in step 1, duly signed and completed, to our immigrant visa unit, together with two of the four photographs and a photocopy of the biopage of your current passport."

I'm assuming that yes, he should include the 2 photos when returing packet 3, but I wanted to see what everyone else did.

I appreciate any information you all can provide! This is all moving so fast now! eeek!!

It tells you to bring 2 with you to the appointment. I'm pretty sure i did it like that as well.

Hey guys ! Quiet in here, anyone still in the same process of me? Or is everyone happily in USA yet? I am waiting for Noa2 now, could be here any moment (I know, I am spoiled with CSC). Can anyone give me an example of how long it usually takes after Noa2? Does the consulate in Amsterdam sends out packet 3 really quick or not? And how long is their between packet 3 and the actual interview date? I know you have to book it yourself but, how long is it usually?

[Ralph and Meghan 19]

between the noa2 and having the visa in hand was about 2 months but that was 2,5 years ago.
