[FormelyCA 0]

Hello fellow May filers

I sent my AoS package on May 13th, arrived May 14th.

I see some of you checked your NOAs somehow BEFORE you received your hard copy in the mail. How do I do that?

Thanks and good luck to all waiting for a speedy AoS approval!!

I went and got my biometrics done today. I got the letter yesterday with a June 2nd appt. Just to let you all know, it didn't seem like an automatic thing to get in ahead of time. When the security guy asked for my appt letter, he was really surprised I was there 1.5 weeks early. He asked me why I came early, and I said that the appt time I was given (8 am) was really inconvenient as it is a 3 hr drive for me to get there and I'm not a morning person. He opened a door to an office area and asked a woman I couldn't see if they would be able to process me. The lady asked what I was applying for and there was a couple minutes delay before she authorized me to come in. I felt like they could have turned me back.

I have no idea if that is common, or what, because they did process me, and it only took about 15 minutes, including wait time. Just thought I'd let you all know in case anyone else has to drive a long way to their appt.

Thanks for the report rexalite!! And congratulations on getting that done.

Well, at least you got it done. And doesn't it happen a lot of times in the US that if you do something "out of daily business" that it is a problem at first?

I'll give it a try tomorrow even though it sounds like it makes you feel kind of bad...

Oh no, it didn't make me feel bad at all, but it would have if they turned me away and I had done a 6 hour drive for nothing. I feel great to have it done! I just wanted to let people know, it seemed like it wasn't an automatic or expected thing to show up way before your scheduled appointment.

Tahoma - my husband and I lived in Seattle for awhile, in the Green Lake area, on Ravenna Boulevard. Loved it! Go have a lamburger at Matt's in the Market for me! I miss Seattle a lot.

Kelly - I didn't apply for AP either, sorry!

Rexalite - We live just 5 minutes drive to Green Lake. It is a beautiful park. Will eat the burgers for you this weekend.. B)

Kelly - AP will allow you to travel to your home country when you still have not received your GC. This will be useful in emergency cases, since we never really know when we will get approved. You don't have to pay an extra fee for AP when you file this with your I-485.

Naksah - I can't remember writing my email on all 3 forms too.

I am determined to get my AOS filed in May. I have heard that June and July are the busiest filing times so I want to beat the rush. Let's hope for the fastest processing time we can get!

So tell us a bit about yourself! I'm Canadian and married my USC husband in July of 2007. I'm adjusting status from a tourist visa. I'm not quite ready to file yet, as I've been procrastinating about doing my husband's 2008 taxes. (i guess the procrastinating part is obvious!) It's a bit of a complicated return and I've been putting it off, but now it is standing between me and my AOS Filing so it's all systems go. I"m determined to file by the 15 of May.

Who's with me??

Hi, I am a Canadian as well who has married an American man in '07. By tourist visa do you mean your I-94 that you filled out upon entering the US. Did you state that you were immigrating to the US? The reason I am asking is because it says in the guides here that if you file an AOS (I-130) to change your status from a tourist that it can be fraud and you can be deported. I am in Louisiana with this problem. I came across in Buffalo by car so I don't even have an I-94 but I think it is implied. Anyway, any thoughts you may have on this would be helpful.

thx
