AOS'rs...

Does the EAD and AP get processed at CSC? I think all my files are still at the National Benefits Center.

[Sam and Ben 2]

I never saw my files transferred anywhere else, so I've no idea. And my RFE was to be sent to the NBC as well.

If you don't get transferred to CSC, your EAD and AP are processed and approved at the National Benefits Center. When they send you your EAD/AP they come in envelopes from Lee's Summit, MO.

(not really sure why I remember that...)

ok so kind of off topic, but the marriage certificates i got from the county courhouse are kinda well..Bleh lol. they are not wall frame nice And i'm not sure how the heck i'd get a "display" one. i know school diplomas you get both, the nice frame one from the school and the official one from the Gov't. BUt i wanna frame one with our pics around it...and well not sure how i'd do that?

[Sam and Ben 2]

Interview done with, no idea whether I'm approved or not. He verified the information listed in my petitions (K1 and AOS), asked a couple of questions, laughed at us when we said we met via World of Warcraft (which was kind of silly, if you ask me) and then said that he still had to do background checks on us before we received his decision in about two weeks.

He was a little too curious about our banking history, too, which I found odd. I had included the statement that showed the wire transfer from my bank account in Canada to his in the US, and I highlighted it and everything. Well he wanted to know about all of the other activity on the statement, where money went, etc etc. I found that rather odd.

But regardless, a little disappointing as I was really hoping for an answer. He was surprised I wasn't working yet, until I told him that my EAD was only approved on Friday and I still hadn't received it yet.

The office was efficient enough... we were in and out long before our appointment time (went a half hour early).

I checked the USCIS website for the heck of it and my EAD and AP were approved on the 24th! Too bad I didnt get before today, when I had a license appointment. Oh well.

And I hope you hear more soon, Sam.

Congrats on the approvals, Rhiann.

I never got a diploma from the government!

I'm not really sure about the marriage license thing. Here in CO they just return the original to you, which is kinda neat. They take it, copy it into their system, put a sticker on it saying "recorded on xxxx by xxxx" and then just send it back to you. I never thought about framing it, but that's actually a really cool idea! It has the original signatures on it, and some water marks from isolated rain before and after the wedding... So very authentic! I don't know if all or most states do this, or this is Colorado's way of being lazy.

Sam- Sounds like a pretty annoying interview experience. Sometimes I think they just want to intimidate you with their weird questions. I'm sure you'll hear something soon, fingers crossed

Congrats on the EAD/AP approvals Rhiann! (not like you really have much time to use them!)

ugh poor you. i hate that feeling of not knowing. And how many bloody background checks to they need to do in this process?? Sheesh. Hope you get your approval soon!

Grats Rhiann!

Sam, hope you get you get a decision soon. Happy to know that your interview went well at least, and I am sure they are just crossing their t's and dotting their i's to get your paperwork rolling.

[Spoom 8]

Interesting thing: I got my I-797 AOS approval yesterday, and today I got a text that my case status had been updated. It now says that they sent it today!

Here's hoping that the rest of your approvals travel backward in time to get to you.

OMFG

So, allow me to diffuse the myth that no one in California gets transferred to CSC, cause OMFG I JUST DID!! HOLLAAAAH!!!!

(hopefully it doesn't delay my case, but regardless, I don't care if it does, cause it means I don't have to drive 2 hrs into L.A. for an interview! LOL)

Holy ####### Ashen!

Congratulations!

that was pretty much my reaction! HAH I was shocked! At first I saw the new date of the touch and was like 'oh no! an RFE', but then read it and was like NO WAY!!!!! lol

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Man, you got so lucky getting transferred to CSC. You just must have a really, really easy case!
