DECEMBER 2010 AOS Filers

[kiwirst 39]

Now that is weird, fingers crossed you show up or they just send you your interview date.

I really need to figure out how to speed this up if possible, walk in when they notify of appointment if possible, I need to get working real quick.

Finally received the NOA1 hardcopies yesterday as well as I can see them on the USCIS website today. Here's to getting the biometrics appointment notice ASAP.

When the bio appointment is set & you receive notice, can you just do an early walk in rather than wait for the actual day? Also does teh bio mean just for the green card or include the AP/EAD as well?

Biometrics are for AOS and EAD they don't need biometrics for AP

I have all the paperwork (NOAs) like yourself but I just dont appear on their website. Finally got through on the phone and they said it might never appear.

As annoying as it is, it's pretty common. My AOS only showed up online when they transferred it to CSC, and the EAD and AP only came up on the day they were approved!

Such is life.

I was just looking at your timeline (really must sort mine out). How come you had such a fast tracked K1 Visa?

What part of Ireland you from? Im from the North.

And isnt it amazing how every American claims to be Irish. lol

just some question is the uscis address tht on the NOAs is the local office where to do biometrics or interview?im just curious coz my NOas local address is in Missouri office and i live here in Mississippi,as i search the nearest local office here is in Louisana which its only an hour drive compare to missouri its will b LONG DRIVE so i wonder if the local office address in the NOAs is the address to do biometrics

It was just luck-of-the-draw how quickly we got our NOA2. Other people filing around the same time as us got approved in similar timelines, but VSC slowed down a lot a couple months later. The Irish side of the process took longer because of the sheer incompetence and rudeness of the Gardai and the medical doctor. But still we were very lucky to get the visa 6 months from filing the petition. It just happened that way.

Sorry if I was confusing when I said "my AOS". It's actually my husband that's the Irish citizen. He's from County Clare, but spent his college years in Cork City, where we met. I'm sad I never got around to seeing Northern Ireland when I was living in Ireland. Hopefully on our next trip over!

And yes, he finds it absurd how so many Americans call themselves Irish, lol.

I don't have Irish in me but I'm curious why its weird?

I also got mine today! January 25th at 11am, although I'm going to attempt a walk-in to get things moving a bit faster

For future reference on the automated phone system - the only way I got through to someone was to pretend I didn't have my reference number. I think once you say you're enquiring about a case, you press 6 to say you don't have a reference (maybe!). After that I got straight through.

This worked for me (pressing 6) to get a live person. But, they said can take up to 4 weeks for the mailroom to "process" the package. In the meantime, unless my check is cashed or my package rejected and sent back to me for some reason, I guess there isn"t much I can do for now- according to the USCIS person...

Oh a Clare man. At least his accent will be softer and more pleasant to listen to.

Has the money been taken from your bank account?

Yes, pressing 6 is how I got put through to a real person, they then put me through to someone else who confirmed I was all go, afte a 20 minute wait. They should have been able to check to see if you had made it into the system.

[kiwirst 39]

So when you get the notice for the bio appointment, can you do a walk in anytime or just on the day you have the appointment?

Would love to just stroll in when I get it rather than wait

As of today, not cashed yet and no G-1145 confirmation- All I have is the fed ex delivery confirmation...

A lot of people are doing it. Just make sure your ASC accepts walk ins. Its a LONG car trip for me, to be told come back on the appointed date.
