Mine only took about two weeks from the time they got it, I sent mine UPS Standard, but USPS would work just as good too:)I only sent mine UPS because the office is open later. Just so you know you do

Usually takes a week or two, but for some people it's taking a little longer depending where there service area will be for biometrics. Some of the service centers are overly booked so they might jus

Ok so get this. Our bank called Chris and told him we need to come in to talk with them because there is something wrong with my SSN. Apparently they do random checks on SSN's and mine came up belonging to someone who died in 1984 or 80 something anyways. I was like how in the world did that happen?!?! Now I am freaked out because what if I have to get it changed. How am I gonna be able to send in my AOS? How am I even going to be able to get it changed when my I-94 is expired :bonk:

Life is like a roller coaster. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

Yeah we are going there tomorrow to see what is going on. We are hoping that they just keyed in the wrong number or something. Still is scary tho.

You know, I was under the impression that you don't absolutely need to put in your SSN when you file your AOS... Ask a question in the Canada forum, I'm sure someone somewhere has filed without their SSN... This way you don't have to wait until that problem gets taken care of before you send your package...

And thanks everyone for the cheers, I feel GREAT! But the stress of this week gave me a cold... Here I was thinking that I wouldn't get one this year because I wasn't in Canada... :crying:

Congrats Vero, I have to quote this line "Then, she says "I have seen everything I need, I will let you know if I need further information in the next few weeks". I was like WHAT??????? Aren't you going to say approved or something?" Sounds EXACTLY like my K1 interview. So annoying. Do they not understand the time and emotion invested into this and the difference one word can mean??? I got the same line at the K1 interview, no joke. I was only under the impression I was approved until my USCIS status changed haha.

Nice to have it over with right?

I also don't understand why they are re-using numbers either. Did they really go through that many digits?

On another note, we have a little baby staying with us... baby puppy that is haha. Someone brought a litter in (a guinea pig cage) and after bathing the poop off them, I noticed this one had a huge cut on her paw, like the paw pad was being cut off. I took care of her until surgery, and as the surgery assistant I was there through her spay and held her little leg up as she had her paw put back together. She has stitches and needs to be bandaged, medicated and monitored. What a little trooper though! She is a Lab/Fox Terrier mix they said, but I see no Fox Terrier. She and Hudson get along great so that's nice, I don't have to crate and rotate. They are a terrible twosome causing havoc, but showing each other good things too I guess. She is still up for adoption if anyone is interested ;) Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Hahaha, Tater&#######, now I know EXACTLY how you felt!!! I was sooo mad at her, but it didn't last long! :D

What a cute little puppy!!! She's adorable!!! And no, like you said, doesn't look like a terrier at all! Hope you guys find a good family for her! Why not keep her?

My husband wants to keep her, and I adore the little thing but the thought of another puppy is scary. Hudson is only 9months, won't be 'grown up' until three years. They'll probably mature around the same time. I also feel horrible because I have to turn my head to dozen of orphaned dogs, and way more cats (we've fostered lots)... and I just feel guilty picking a puppy over other great adult dogs who were in the shelter for months, and the ones that come in to replace them. It's so hard. I think the problem is my attachment to her since I found the injury and was there through it all. I change her bandage daily, medicate her and everything. She is even almost potty and crate trained at 7weeks haha. Her poor paw is SO swollen still and hurts her so much. Her foot shakes when I change the bandage. She doesn't stand on her leg right because of the pain, so I worry it'll grow wrong and that the person won't accept it enough. I don't always agree with our shelters adoption methods. If I knew who was taking her, I'd be pretty comfortable giving her up. I dunno, lots of mixed emotions LOL.

Gosh, that's a tough decision... But look at her! She's so cute! And she seems to get along really well with your other dog... Plus, how are you going to be able to let her go after having taken care of her so much? Alright, I'm not helping, am I? :lol:

That puppy is so darn cute!

Well the lady at the bank didnt really say much. She asked to see my SS card and said shes making a photocopy of it to prove she seen it. She said she just had to see who issued it. I was like ummm hello the Social Security place did, how else would I get one. Anyways she said it should be fine. So heres to hoping shes right.

We mailed off our AOS this afternoon. We couldnt find a UPS place or a fedex, so we just sent it through USPS. It should be on its way. woohoo! :dance:

Life is like a roller coaster. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

This is so weird, the SSN thing! I'm sure it's just a mistake though, I'm sure you'll be OK. Are you going to go to the SSN office?

No I'm not going to go to the SSN office. I think it should be fine. If I get anything else with this problem then I'll go to the SSN office. I have used my SS number for Chris' insurance and a few other things and nothing else has came up with this type of thing. I think she may have typed in a wrong number or something.

Congrats Brenda2010! Good news! What office are you dealing with?

mandaNchris, I wouldn't waste my time going to the SSN office either! She obviously made a mistake taking your number down! What an idiot! :bonk: Talk about stressing someone out for nothing!
