Also, me and my husband we are planning long vacation in July. I really want to go to Arizona, but Ive heard they have very strict immigration laws. My visa expired few years ago. Am I protected by the law if I filed for AOS or I can be still deported even though I am married to US citizen and our papers are being reviewed?

Which visa were you here on? If it was an F-1 then you are fine. I know this because I live in Arizona and I work for an international student office so we get a lot of questions about overstaying visas, falling out of status, etc... And Arizona immigration laws aren't that strict. If you aren't riding around town in a bus load of illegal mexican immigrants with no kind of identification at all then you are fine :) Enjoy your trip and for your other question some people get the appt. letter for their biometrics early for my wife it took about 3 weeks from the day we received the NOA1.

April 9 2011- Received NOA for all forms

April 29 2011- Biometrics appointment scheduled

April 19 2011- Successful walk in biometrics in Phoenix

Posted

Coming up to Day 36 and STILL no biometrics appointment letter. Anyone else in the same boat? :(

I see that you were from H1B which means, a working visa... don't they take biometrics for

working visas before? (i have no idea... just asking XD) i got my biometrics appointment letter

hey, I filed my AOS in the end of March. I received my email notification and letter notification.

How long do I need to wait for Biometrics Appointment? Somebody told me that I should receive it not later than a month from the notification, is that true?

Sort of. We filed on February 7th and received the biometrics letter on February 22nd. But it can also take a month to receive it. If you do not get it in 30 days call them and ask about your case.

Coming up to Day 36 and STILL no biometrics appointment letter. Anyone else in the same boat? :(

Call them and ask about your case! Although they might tell you to give them more time!
