January 2009 AOS Submitters

[rajemr2119 0]

Hi everyone,

I haven't been on here in a long time- mainly because absolutely no progress has been made with my husband's case. He applied for AOS, EAD, and AP on January 29. We got an RFE and they received the information on March 9. I checked the status online of the AOS and it said that we should hear something within 60 days (which is today). I called a couple weeks ago and the woman told me that only the EAD was out of normal processing times, and I should hear something within 45 days! 45 days??? I'm disheartened because I see the wonderful progress that everyone else is making here, and we've had nothing. My husband needs to work, needs to feel like he has a normal life here...

Has anyone found themself in a similar situation?? Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

Don't fret! We are in the same boat!

I applied for AOS last Jan 22. I am still waiting for any communication from USCIS, while everybody else have already received their GC and interview sched, am still waiting...

I did receive any RFE. I hope all is fine about my case.

I am worried,too...Hope we will receive our good news..soon.

Thank you for the tips, kcoyclay! And good luck to you and dbears with the written test.

Glad to see all the approvals. I really hope I get an interviewer like yours, sunny!

I'm not too nervous about my upcoming interview; barely had time to think about it. But I'm a little concerned about a lack of evidence to show our marital relationship. The only 'joint' thing we have is a joint bank account - and I very rarely use my card, as Alex buys most things (I'm always forgetting my ID to show with the card, or he shops without me). I guess it may be time to start buying more things!

We have our own place that we rent, but I'm not on the lease. And actually we've been using Alex's parents' address for everything - bank account, my work, SSNs, tax returns - because we weren't sure how long we'd be able to live here (when Alex lost his job we thought we might have to move in with his parents), plus we share a mailbox with everyone else in this apartment complex so our mail isn't very secure. Is anyone else in this position?

I officially have a job! I've always scorned the crazy American work ethics (in Europe we tend to like our long holidays and short working hours) but here I am working a minimum of 40 hours a week, 5-6 days a week in a cubicle office that never sees daylight. It's good work, though, and it pays as much as I'd hoped for. So Alex is the one staying at home, learning how to cook and acting as my personal chauffeur. (He bakes really good cookies).

Which leads me to another problem...does anyone know if the Social Security office will accept my EAD as photo ID in my married name? I looked on their website but didn't see a definitive answer. Both it and the bank said they couldn't change anything to be in my married name until I had photo ID. I could wait until after I receive my greencard (hopefully) but it means not being able to receive health benefits until then, plus I'm a little concerned about my EAD not matching my SSN.

hi rachel! well for my case our "joint whatever documents" would be. 2008 ITR, leasing condo, and a geico insurance. thats the only docs under both of our names, we dont have insurance yet cus he can only add me on June and we dont have a joint bank account.

are these good enough! oh my..its on friday already!!! im so nervous and excited!LOL! hey..is bringing the wedding album good? cus i thought i can save money atleast, i dont have to print out pics. hihi!

My Receipt Date for AOS application is 01-22-2009 and just like most of you, am waiting for the wind to blow and give my boat a push. No interview date and no news related to the I-485. Can't even view it online. Calling doesn't help since all they say is to wait since I am well within my timeline.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
