february 2009 aos filers

[k84 11]

How can I tell if my case was touched? Online all it says is "Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred." and still no sign of any EAD online

That is exactly my situation as well. My I-485 returns the "pending at the office to which it was transferred" message but the I-765 says it's not found.

I'm not worried because I know they have it (and I had biometrics done last weekend but still nothing shows up for it) but it is annoying.

Does this link work? I tried making a spreadsheet of the Feb filers.

I added your info. Please update your timeline on VisaJourney as well. It helps others to make better estimations. Thanks

PS...the spreadsheet can be edited by everyone. Please don't mess it up.

I got one major problem regarding proof of relationship during the interview (hopefully soon). I and my husband do not really have pictures of us TOGETHER. We have pictures but it is usually alone. He finds taking pictures embarrasing especially in public. I met his family (siblings and parent) in Miami and most of his friends, but we did not take pictures. I am pretty sure that these pictures are solid proofs. I already submitted the following:

his life insurance policy (me as beneficiary)

my life insurance policy (him as benenficiary)

water bills with both our names there

lease contract with both names there

internet bill (only my name)

his 401k (me as beneficiary)

health insurance card (me as one of his dependents)

Do you have any idea on any other documents to show relationship?

Just saying Hi to all

Even though we filed Jan 30th, I though its more appropriate to join the February filers.

Our time line should be in the signature.

Good luck to all !

Dean and Tanya

I now have my AP I just checked the mail and it was sitting there. It is usually done at the same time as the EAD or shortly before so that means I should have my EAD any day now which means the job offer I accepted should still be good Pray that is the way it works out for me k? Thanks

[HighwayStar 0]

Got my interview date - May 14!

[ChasingAmy 0]

Is it sad that I have an urge to go check the mail even though it's only 12:23am and there's no chance that there's any mail yet? Anyone want to trade an EAD for my AP? lol

[ChasingAmy 0]

Yup...that's right. I got my EAD approved. Dated April 2nd Spreadsheet updated. Last step is the interview date...but now that my EAD is approved I can take that nice job offer and start working! Woohoo!!!!!

Does there have to be an AOS interview or can they approve me without one? I just read that in most cases the interview is waived but some are mandatory due to having to clear up info or to test relationship authenticity.

Hi Island Princess, just read what you wrote. You guys NEED to take pictures together and forget about being embarrassed. The sad thing is if he is embarrassed to take pictures together then his embarrassment can cost you your residency. Take pictures with friends, at home, on the street, where-ever, just take pictures together. The norm is for persons who are together to want to have visual memories so that they can revisit as the years go by. Again take pictures and not just a couple. A little advice is to remember not to take it in the same outfit seeing that you have not taken any so far.

I notice that you did not state that you have a joint bank account. You have quite a few things together and that is very good. Add the pictures and your bank account and you should be good to go.
