What ended up happening?

Thanks!

I went to another DMV where they processed everything with no problem. It took me 1 1/2 hours out of my way and another 30 minutes wait to get to the front of the line, but it was worth it since the lady there approved everything and changed my name for me.

Well, I put the wedding so far out that we were apart for 4 months more after the K-1 was issued (beginning of June to beginning of October). It's just a trade off decision.

I did the same thing. I planned our wedding for November to make sure we had more than enough time for the approval. My hubby was approved in June, but then couldn't come to August. I wouldn't trade my husband for anything in thr world, but I don't wish this process on anyone.

That's good you got it done. Not sure why the first woman gave you so much trouble.

This is the second day in a row that our AP doc was touched. I hope that means approval tomorrow. From the timelines (speaking of ), usually AP is approved before EAD, but not for us.

Well, I'm glad you got that sorted out. What a witch at the other place!! In AZ they make you change it with your SSN before they will change it on your license. So I showed up with the letter from the SSN office that I had changed my name, and THEN the lady says, Oh, where's your marriage certificate? (Where's the smilies that make rude gestures???) I was a bit pissed until I remembered that Nik had brought his folder with all the immi stuff in it to get his license, and sure enough, the marriage cert was in there. How annoying.

Yeah same here. I had already taken care of social security with no problem using the same marriage certificate, so it shouldn't have been a problem. My siter got married this summer, and that same woman gave her a hard time about her marriage certificate too. Major power trip!! I will only be returning to that dMV to file a complaint.

Hey guys. Finally heard from USCIS! I received an e-mail late afternoon yesterday stating that my case was transfered to California Service Centre.

. I was hoping it was my EAD tho. But this is great news also.

[NatPatBen 3]

My I-485 was touched (got a text and email about it) saying that it was transferred & is now being processed at a USCIS office. I wondered how this was different from the email I got 5 days ago & did a comparison. In all my AOS forum reading, I didn't see anyone talking about the difference in these two notices:

Jan 29:

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing

On January 28, 2010, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action...

Feb 4:

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office...

Maybe it is some type of receipt notice that CSC have received the transfered case. Just my thought.

[Tygrys 143]

Agreed. I got the second notice, too, about a week after transfer...

[menina 50]

Somewhere I saw that once it is received at CSC they email again saying that it is pending at that center. Can't remember where I saw it, but it would make sense that they aknowlegde receipt.

[Nik+Heather 121]

My completely uneducated guess:

#1 Hey, we sent your application to someone.

#2 Hey, the place we sent it got it today, and now it's collecting dust waiting for someone to look at it.

I had the same and was very confused thinking it had been sent somewhere else. I called USCIS and they said it means that California now received it and it's now being processed.

All of this progress is making me really impatient! I feel like we've been standing still the past month (which-of course-we have). I'm so excited to go to the civil surgeon Monday and get it all done!

Hey everyone!

Congrats on the transfers!

Just curious...for those of you who sent in your RFE's and they were delivered, approx how long did it take for USCIS to send you an email to acknowledge they received it?

Mine was signed for on Monday and I still haven't heard anything...
