Congrats Kirsten on EAP and AP approval and Shaz on arrival of the AP!

Shaz, I hope you feel better soon so you can use the AP to go and see your mum as you planned. Get well soon, babes.

BTW, I just checked USCIS and to find that the card production for EAD has been ordered and AP has been approved. Over the moon happy. Maybe now I can get some of my independence back :-) :dance:

ok so i posted off my AOS package on 5th sept.. and havent heard anything yet.. how long does it take to get NOA1?

miss g, we sent ours on the 3rd and just got the NOAs today so yours should be coming!

on a side note, although we recieved our NOAs, the cases are not showing up online..thoughts?

We have our NOAs and the case does not appear online either. Apparently it's quite common - sometimes the case will appear after approval.

:D Lots of good news today, congrats guys! Eeee!

Well, got my letter from the USCIS (and gave Nich a call :D eee!) which said I had forgot to sign my EAD, d'oh! On the bright side, this did give me the opportunity to correct the document, so I wrote up a nice letter and sent it back by express. Should get there by Wednesday afternoon their time. Odd that it's moved to Missouri...or is that normal? I hope it's not going to cause too many hiccups, what with me making adjustments.

Magpie.

Upon the mountain of that which would undo us, our banner shall fly highest.

Whoops! eeeeeeee....that's how I felt when I realised I forgot to sign the G-325A! It's supposed to be in Missouri, after the package goes to Chicago it gets sent on.

Hopefully you'll get the EAD soon!

Hey Hey I wanna be a rock star..... You crazy Monkey. Went to a concert Saturday... Papa Roach, Hinder, Nickelback (I know, you hate)..and I asked Nick, "why would anybody want to be a rock star?" hahahaha. British guy was sitting behind us who had an accent I've never heard before, but I'm Brit savvy enough now to know it was north so I asked if he was from Liverpool. It was odd because he talked real slow. Anyway it was Lancashire and the town sounded like he was saying "surely" or "Charley." He supports Manchester (Is that Daymo's team?) and I asked if he was one of those rowdies that sings all the songs. He goes everywhere like Russia to watch games. I love meeting strange people. He was hilarious.

The marmite was for first one to green card I thought. But since Obbynox and Magpie stumbled on RFEs that definitely puts you as the odds on favorite to win. Woohoo! hahaha

Now get better so you can be a proper Rock Star!
