AOS Filers: December 2009

[NatPatBen 3]

I got like 3 of these messages. And we got the green card the day after the last message was sent.

That's bizarre. But I am hoping to receive the green card today. My husband returns from Jamaica this evening & when checking in for his flight, he (I) had to answer if he's a permanent resident. Well, he IS since it was approved a week ago, but doesn't have anything with him to prove that. I want to have the green card in hand, so that if they ask about it, he can say that it just arrived today & his wife has it just outside.

My backup plan is to have the approval notice with me.

He has his AP document with hime, doesn't he?

I know you are excited to have him coming home! I miss my hubby so much and it hasn't even been a full week...still no news on our AOS...do you think I should call now or just continue to wait?

My suggestion is that tell your husband to go through the non-citizens/permanent residents line in immigration, because having the letter does not allow you to come in as a resident, only two options are considered to be allowed documents for it: 1) Permanent Resident Card, green card. 2) Passport Stamp, and from what I understand you do not have either one... it will save him the trouble of an uncomfortable situation... plus I assume he has the AP so there is not issue by traveling with it....

This suggestion comes from the experience of a friend who could not enter as a resident even though this person had the approval letter in hand, this person had to go to the embassy and get a passport stamp in order to re-enter the US....

we had our greencard interview today

it was the easiest thing ever!

the only paperwork she asked for was our passports and she took his advance parole documents

she wanted the EAD card but i explained my husband was hired for a job starting april 14- i asked if it would be ok if he could keep the EAD card just in case the GC didnt arrive on time

she was so nice

two thumbs up:dance:

Jawi, from my experience when our I-129F was approved months late, calling is something to do to pass the time. I think a lucky few actually have action taken based on calls, but it does make you feel like you're doing SOMETHING. So if you call, I suggest managing your expectations.

Justucia, congratulations on a successful interview!

How did it go?

Fine. He was sent to the same place he had to go upon his first entry into the US. I asked if everyone coming through the non-citizen line had to go to the special section & he said no. ::shrug:: He had no problems with the AP & the fact that I put him as a perm res despite his having no proof.

It worked out because he came out with his luggage at about the exact same time I arrived to pick him up. Neither of us had any waiting to do, which I found shocking.

Still waiting for the green card, as it's been 8 days since approval. He needs that to get a Texas driver's license.

I am delighted to tell you that this morning I received my permanent resident card in the mail. This is ten days after the interview. I suspect this mail was misdelivered. The envelope had been taped (YIKES). This is a rural area and the mail person is usually quite chatty but this morning he/she drove off as if the truck was stolen LOL.

Hope that your card arrives in good time for your journey to be hassle free. Nik & Heather I hope your Phoenix fizzle gets resolved soon too. Best of wishes to all on this

He can get his driver's license with just his EAD... I recently got mine too with just the EAD...

Hey congrats!!!

Please let us know when you get your green card... my wife's interview is next week... and we are traveling overseas in three weeks, so I hope that the agent allows us to keep the AP... just in case the GC does not arrive on-time......from what i can understand the officer allowed your husband your keep the EAD, correct? Did they stamp your husband's passport?

Good luck on the rest of your journey....

regards
