I just mailed the AOS package so now I am officially a June AOS filer.

I hope all goes smoothly....how is everything else going?

Really great :) K1 was so much harder to endure because of the separation. I haven't stressed out at all about AOS/EAD/AP. That's Jeremy's baby. I think that he wants to start working this summer. He's convinced that he can work as soon as he has a ssn??? What do you guys think? He says that he only needs an EAD if the employer does e-verify and wants more proof...what do u think?

But yeah, life is good :) How are you 2 doing?

The SSN is important to be able to get things like banks accounts etc... in both of your names ...but to meet I-9 requirements you will need that EAD to work. The I-9 is the form the employer needs to complete see the link http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf

I am telling Balvino to wait for the EAD. It says on the SSN card "valid with DHS" or something like that. I wish Balvino could work but we are waiting.

Thanks for the form link you rock subguy812. Balvino will be working for a family I know very well. I have read that your spouse working for family is a red flag. They are almost like family I sometimes worry.

Ok guys.

Checks were cashed today for the *second* application. Just one question. I have Bank of America and was wondering which dates do you guys use?

I see where the back of the check has the MSC RECEIPT NUMBER and a date of 06/15/09

The check posted the bank on 06/16/09 but I'm just seeing today 06/17/09.

Would you use the 15th, 16th or 17th?

edit: how come the receipt numbers don't show on the tracking page? how long does it take USCIS to add them?

I put the date that my bank statement showed the checks...the 11th. My check was cashed on the 11th but I did not see it till the 12th. I have BofA too. Once I had my NOA's I put them in the system and everything was there. Congrats...soon NOAs will arrive.

Hello June AOS filers. I would like to join your group as well.We finished gathering all the documents last week and our lawyer sent it off. We are still waiting on NOA1 but the check hasn't cleared yet so it might take a few more days. I was wondering if any of you guys had SSN before. I had been working in US before and I have my SSN already. Do I need to change the card or not really?

Wish us good luck and speedy journey :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
