Congrats to AP and EAD approvals/send-offs. :)

Apparently my AOS case has been transferred to CSC - but we only got the NOA1 about 3 weeks ago! Is that normal? We haven't even had biometrics yet...

Sounds normal to me, my case went to CSC 3 weeks after the NOA.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend - I'm struggling a little after too much whisky last night at a card game and Julie wants to go walk round a corn maze, BUT...My EAD card came in the post today so that has perked me up a bit.

Huzzah! Grats on that :D.

Still hunting for a car, which is a bit difficult to do when Knight's truck needs its spedometer fixed and it's in the shop at the moment. Job applications should be going out soon. Oh well :D things will happen when they happen!

Grats! I'm still hunting for a car, and now I'm stuck waiting for people to give me personal references so I can apply for the job I want.

Also :( no transfer to CSC to me. I have a feeling I'll have an interview coming up for the GC at some point...wouldn't surprise me, considering the background checks I underwent for K-1. At least I have EAD though :D.

Don't worry about your pic, people probably will immediately think I'm the t-word because I look so blah...

Magpie.

Good luck with the job Magpie!

Had my biometrics yesterday. The people at the desk were lovely but the guy who did the fingerprints & photos was extremely grumpy so I didn't dare ask to look at my photo. :unsure: I probably look like a rabbit in headlights! lol

Anyway, good news is that my AP was approved the other day & my EAD was approved today (Jim&Christy predicted correctly!). I also had a touch on the I-485 so it's coming along nicely.

So I'll celebrate by shopping on the wonderful Magnificent Mile in Chicago (while hubby is at his training course for work). :star:

Weeeeeeeee, grats! The chap I spoke to when getting my biometrics was more brisk than a grump -- maybe he was having a bad day. If the day was particularly busy, I'd imagine I would be, too!

:D At least it's done now. It's better to look like a bunny in the headlights than looking like the world was about to end.

On my EAD card David says I look like a sexy soap bi**h who is going to shoot him in the face and collect the life insurance (he's a charmer)

Better than the pic taken at Walgreens for the AP.... where I look like a female wrestler with tiny piggy eyes (yes, he was being a charmer again)

Congrats on the EAD both Monkeyjuice and Emma :)

Hope you can get those references soon Magpie.

AOS approved today!!! :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: I'm over the moon :-). NOA2 type euphoria has hit again.

And here I thought I was having a sh**ty day. Came back from an outpatient surgery to fine an email from CRIS. YAY!!! Thank goodness I'm already on high otherwise I'd really miss that celebratory drink :-).

It looks like the next round of approval has started so I wouldn't be surprised to see some more by the end of the week.

Good luck everybody !!
