AOS Filers October 2009

[shenan 0]

Got my Biometrics Appointment! November 18th!

How long does it take? I think some people said you can go in early.... mine is at 2pm, at the Alexandria, VA office...

We went to the Alexandria office and it was very quick (10-15 minutes) and very friendly. We got there 2 hours early and they had us in an out in no time.

10 days no movement or fondling of my case. Slightly down by this ! not sure why as my husband is military so name checks back ground stuff should not take that long to do..

thanks guys, congrats to all those who are making progress of some sense

yup, received my AP papers dated 11/9as well.

Question - why are there 2 sheets of paper saying the same thing?? both say they are valid till 11/8/2010 - does it mean it is valid for 2 re-entry, & the immigration officer takes away one each time?? I am as perplexed as ever. Any shed of light will be helpful!!

On an unrelated note, still no touches on my 485 since Oct 23, the day after my bio. But looking at how the EAD and AP went, it'll probably stay untouched until the day it's approved, just to worry me

I know.... damn...

I wouldn't worry, there are many others waiting on bio letters/touches. I think the USCIS is pretty backed up ATM Our I-485 hasn't been touched since the end of October...

It seems to take forever for the bio appt letter to be delivered. My hubby's was dated Oct 28th but we didn't receive it until Nov 9th, so it's possible yours is on the way.

Thanks, I try my best to be looked great...

Yes, I felt like I was processing my own application while I was preparing all these documents. Therefore, I thought at least I should expedite my case...

Keep my fingers cross. I hope there won't be any more "surprise" which caught me unguarded.

I now have my AP papers in hand. They are dated 11/10. :dance:

I am no longer being held prisoner by the US Government

My understanding of the two pieces of paper is that, the first time you use it, they take one, and stamp the other and/or your passport. On subsequent uses, they just look at your copy and you continue to keep it. It (mine at least) says it is valid for any number of entries up to the expiration on date, which on mine is one year.

Wish me luck the EAD shows up in the next couple of days!

No worries inky, I'm right there with you. Things were flying along and now it seem we hit this wall for EAD approval. But you know what, we haven't even hit the two week mark. And there was a holiday. So I am giving it until Friday before I really start to get anxious... Well more anxious than I already am. As soon as all of the late September filers are done its our turn! Woohoo!

Wow, I wonder why she said another month :/ How did she know? Sometimes the customer service reps give wacko information
