Hey Guys!

Well got a letter from USCIS today with Notice that we have an AOS Interview scheduled for January 11th. Yay, whoop-dee-doo yet another interview. Oh well at least I still pretty much have all my stuff organised from the Montreal K1 interview so really shouldn't be too big a deal. Any news for anyone else?

[Wishing 1]

Oh and also I don't have any related touches to this letter. The interview notice is dated December 2nd and my last updated touch (Nov 15th) was right after my biometrics.

Congratulations Wishing! You must be excited that this AOS stuff is going fast for you too! What happens to your EAD and AP if you have an interview, do you know?

I hope nickbits feels better soon since their interview is next week! Gosh, I can't wait to see how it goes!!! You guys have to write a review after!!!

Congratulations J&J!!! Let me know when you get your e-mail NOA1 and I'll update the list!

On my end, no news, nothing nada niet...

[Wishing 1]

Yeah I'm assuming my EAD should be approved in the next few weeks....as I'll be 60 days post NOA date for my EAD but who knows!

[Veronik 19]

So, what happens if let's say you go to your interview, and are approved and get your green card... Then they just stop processing the forms?

Because once you have your green card, you don't need the EAD and AP, right?

[Tater&Bugger 3]

This really isn't too relevant to this thread but I wanted to let my VJ friends know what's going on. I was taken to the er and admitted into the hospital last night for a seizure. I've never had one before and it really freaked my wife out. I'm waiting for some more tests right now as the first batch was inconclusive.

Moral of the story: don't cheap out on health insurance. I can only imagine the bill will be around 10k and I really wouldn't want to have to pay that myself.

Oh my goodness! Yes that would be absolutely terrifying. Hope you're doing well.

I've got Tricare, but if I didn't I would definitely not skimp on health ins.

Congrats Wishing! I know someone who had their interview last week and never heard anything regarding the EAD and AP. GC came first. I received a email on Dec 3 notifying me that my AOS case was touched on Nov 30 (but it didn't show until the 3rd). They confirmed they received our documents for the RFE. EAD and AP both still say Nov 19 as the last touch. I want SO BAD to get my AP before Christmas! I don't know why they bother asking why you want it if they don't seem to even care. I told them I had a wedding to attend outside the US on Dec 7 (today) and nothing. So sad I am missing it, they are a couple I've known since I was 13, and they came down for our wedding. Then I also mentioned how my husband and I were overseas last year and how important this holiday is to me... and how badly I'd like to go home. Realistically they don't have to give a damn haha but still. I'm just Christmas crazy and want to be able to visit home. They have to know though and be working faster.... right? People want to be able to go home for the holidays!

Nickbits - also forgot to add. Don't consider anything off topic in here anymore. I'd consider anything regarding our new experiences in the US and old ones back home all one topic haha. And that pretty much covers everything!

Whatever happens with the EAD is irrelevant after you get the GC approval. My EAD was never approved until after the GC (my paperwork was lost or something) but it didn't matter in the end.

[Wishing 1]

Yeah that's all true...well I can probably be pretty certain that I can start working the week after my AOS interview then I guess. I think most ppl's get approved on the spot no? And then the card follows in the mail a little while after...?

[nickbits 43]

I should find out tomorrow what is wrong with me. I am hoping we don't have to cancel my wife's interview Monday. Right now I am optimistic I will be able to attend.

Gosh nickbits are you still in the hospital? Hope things are better for ya'll soon and that you don't have to cancel the interview!

[nickbits 43]

Yep still in the hospital. Tomorrow they are going to biopsy my brain if the other test shows negative for lymphoma. So either I will have brain surgery tomorrow or find out I have cancer. Fun times.

I am so sorry nickbits. We will be hoping and praying for you (if you believe in that, but hey it can't hurt!) Keep up posted we are all hoping for the best news for you.
