AOS - March 2009 Thread.

First time posting, but I've been lurking for a while.

My wife just got our interview notice: June 8 in San Diego. USCIS received our packet on 3/29 (NOA1 4/3) and my wife's biometrics appointment was on 4/23. Can't believe our interview is only a month away! This is happening so fast!

wow thats fast Markb. Can you see all the status online ?? and can you tell us the dates you got the appointment letter ?? got your EAD too ??

We received the notice yesterday, 5/7, dated 5/4. I still don't see status online for any of the receipt numbers. Haven't heard anything about the EAD, other than the bio appointment.

On Thursday May 7th I was able to see online ONLY my EAD. It was a note that I was approved on May 5th. In the afternoon the card was in the mail.On the card it says that was issued on April 28th (the same date as on the AP).

So far i have the AP and EAD. Only EAD available online; hopefully the interview letter will come soon.

Short and happy waiting to all of us.

No Problem Christera Bhai. Here's how it went with me.

SSN: Take your EAD card, Your Marriage Certificate and Your Passport. If you have a Credit Card from the US, that would help, since they normally ask for two ID's. When I went to the SSN Office, they only took my EAD. Didn't ask for the Marriage Certificate or Passport. Go back the next day and you can atleast get the SSN, as it take one day to get generated.

DMV: ONCE YOU GET YOUR SSN CARD in mail, take your Passport, Marriage certificate, EAD Card, Credit Card(If you Have one) along with proof of residence. Any bank Statement, Utility bill or Junk Mail will do for the proof of residence. In most states, SSN Card is a must. They wont take you in without it. I went in to see if they'll take me in, but they said to come back when i receive the card in the mail. Thats what I did. Be prepared for the Test. You can simply practice the Online tests on the DMV website from your State. Its easy and the thats all that you need to know. You'll have atleast a week to prepare for the test, since your SSN Card will take 7-10 days to arrive in the mail.

Good Luck.

Thanks Saspak Bhai . But you mean I have to test for getting a learner`s permit ??

I applied for SSN today. I got out in about 30 mins. All they asked was my EAD card and my passport. They did not ask for anything else. They only looked at the identity page of my passport.

Hi Everyone, I just want to update my status here again. I have got my AP and EAD in the mail today. I am preparing and waiting for my interview on June 10th now.

Good luck to me and all of us!

visacheck: Could you tell me, are you able to see your I-130 & I-485 online. If your I-485 is visible, does it say that you have been sent the Interview letter or has been touched? Also, since I feel you and I have almost similar situation, did your I-130 get approved without an interview and has it been touched online.

Btw, Best of luck with the interview. I pray you sail through it smoothly.

The status of my wife's EAD just popped up online yesterday. Card production ordered! Woohoo! Of course, she already has an EAD from her F1, which runs out in July. So she may have her green card by then, and the I-765 will end up being unnecessary. But we never imagined this would go so fast!

Still nothing for the other receipt numbers.
