Thanks everybody! I think they are moving fast for the September filers!!! Another lesson to be learned from this, the online system is not very current. I still have no touches since before my biometircs. Check the mail religiously !!!

Hi JimandChristy,

Thanks for making an excell spreadsheet, very helpfull!

To add to my info: I did send in the medical examination form (I693) with my application

Also received my bio appointment today for october 28th! Going to try a walk-in on wednesday, hopefully that'll help speed things up.

Hi Canada2US: I'm also switching from an H1B, but mine is valid until july next year. Some filers are lucky and receive their EAD very quickly, I'll keep my fingers crossed. You could ask for an extension of your H1B (because the visa is pretty unique in that you are allowed to have dual intent) but I don't know what the processing time for that would be (maybe your employer automatically filed one!)

Everybody good luck!! Hopefully we can beat the K1 timelines!!!

Bmore,

Definitely try to do the walk-in biometrics. I did, and I think it sped things up for me. They might tell you to come back on Saturday but at least you get in there a couple weeks before your scheduled appointment. Good luck!

OK I need a favour off everyone in this thread, I need you all to access the spreadsheet (in my signature) and check over the entries I've put in for you, look for any possible errors I've made and any missing pieces of data for your case such as:

1) Type of visa adjusting from

2) Whether you sent off a I-693

3) NOA date

4) Biometrics date

5) Whether you will attend Biometrics on the date given or will you try an early walk in

6) If you have been transferred to the CSC yet

7) Whether you filed for EAD or AP or both on top of your AOS application

Thanks

Thanks ReeRee!! I am sure it will, I will think postively and pray! BTW, I love Japan. I spent 10 days in Tokyo and Kyoto and loved it so much I made sure to stop back in Tokyo on our way to Bali for our honeymoon. I would live in Japan in a heartbeat!! I just wished I could speak fluent Japanese though!

Yes, think positive and pray and be patient!! Nice you've been to Tokyo and Kyoto. Was born and raised in Tokyo and I do miss a lot of things about the city, especially food and shopping aside from my family! I am trying to make it back out there when I get my AP. My hubby wants to go visit too! How was Bali? I would love to go there one day.
