AOS'rs...

Reading over these recent posts about problems getting verification of change of status or married names vis SSA or DL reminded me of a problem another VJer and a friend had when she was updating her SSN after receiving citizenship. She had gone in the day after her ceremony to the SSA office, they copied her certificate and said it would be several weeks before USCIS updated their information and they would have to wait until it was validated. A month later she contacted them and it still wasn't validated. The following week she went into the office and met with a gentleman who looked the information up and said, yes, it had validated and the card should be ready shortly. 2 more weeks went by and no card so she contacted them again and got the message that they were still waiting for her information to be validated by USCIS! So, again, she went back and met with this same man who had told her the information had been validated. He checked the system - and actually spent some time trying to find out why it was saying both that she had validated and she hadn't validated. It turns out the someone at SSN had entered the information twice rather than just updating the request so there two separate entries for her in the system and the SSA system couldn't reconcile that fact so did not print out the card. Once he deleted the 'extra' entry the card printed without a problem. So, while USCIS does taKe a while to update the information, there could also be a problem with how the information was entered. Her suggestion is that you go to the local office -especially if you have received evidence from USCIS that the system is validated (eg. a green card), and ask to speak with someone who is willing to check for additional entries or mis-entered information. It seems like this may be a more common problem than just for her. I hope this proves useful to someone in getting their problems resolved.

Thanks for the info, I wish for sure ask them about it when I go in tomorrow

I still haven't recieved mine either, so I wouldn't panic too much. But I do agree that it seems to be taking longer than 'normal'. I did just recieve a text/e-mail that the case is pending at the CSC, so hopefully something comes soon!

I got my biometrics appt letter about 2 weeks after my NOA1 date. It before my case was transferred. On the NOA1 for AOS it does say it depends on how busy your local ASC office is. Maybe you live near a really busy one?

Also seems as tho CSC is really slowing down with the AOS stuff.

NEAT! They touched my AOS app on July 10. Maybe that means they're doing something... or I guess they could have just moved the file.

well i looked at the aos timelines for ppl who filed at chicago office and were xfered and seemed almost everyone has a bio date but us..argh.

my local asc office is waukeegan according to uscis, however i have no idea how to find stats for that site. and all i got today was a confirmation that csc now has my aos file.

I have my husbands AOS papers all filed out, we just need to go make a photocopy of it for our records, sign all the dotted lines, and mail it off before we head on our honeymoon! Yeah!

Maybe they were just blowing off the dust...

Well, my case has officially resumed at the CSC. Let's hope they don't take too long too approve my AOS...

Varba said they found it behind the water cooler and moved it somewhere else lol.

oh man... I haven't been on VJ in a couple days, and wow. cdn_gewels, I can NOT believe what is happening with the medicals for us. What a HORRIBLE (and unacceptable as far as I'm concerned) thing for them to LOSE something like this.

What did the Dr in Montreal say as an explanation as to why they couldn't send you a copy of the medical? I'm glad you were able to find a place that will do one for you. I can't get mine done until July 29th. I can't remember if I explained that here or not... but anyways, it's the best I could do... I'm a little stressed, because I only have until August 12 to deal with this, so that's cutting it close. They said it only takes about 2 days to get the results though, so that's good. I'm crossing my fingers for us.

Sorry for the late reply back Ashen, I must have missed this last time I looked!

I explained the situation to Medisys in Montreal, and without any hesitation, the representative basically replied, "No, we can't do that." I didn't really ask why, especially because I figured that would be their answer anyway.

Thinking back to my POE, I did have a newbie officer, so I wonder if my medical fell through the cracks because of that. I guess I'll never know.

When you do get the results, if you can, send your reply "Express." It'll be there by 3 pm the next day. It cost $18 for me. My RFE got there yesterday and I received an e-mail today stating that they received my reply and my case is back to "processing." I think you'll be just fine with your timeline.

*hugs*

so two touches in two days on my aos....still says initial review, and still no biometrics apt. wonder what they are doing to it.

quick question, when you get xfered to CSC, what happens with your EAD? does it get transfered too or does it stay?

That's a good question.......

Another touch today. They must be doing something. I've never been so excited over something that could be nothing!
