Applying for AOS in the USA

[payxibka 10,045]

Levi received his NOA's for EAD, AOS, and AP yesterday dated January 22, 2009. We tried to check the USCIS website but couldn't find any info online. Is that the correct place to look for this?

Yes but it could take several weeks to get into the system

Ok thanks. The letters at the beginning of his numbers weren't the same as the examples so wasn't sure I did it right.

MSCXXXXXXXXXX ?

Yep

MSC = National Benefits Center or sometimes referred to as the Missouri Service Center

Makes sense. We're in Missouri. Although we sent it to the Chicago address. Maybe they'll be faster lol

So then it can be transfered elsewhere? Looks like some are processed at other locations.

I-131 and I-765 will be done at MSC

I-485 can be transferred to CSC or if not, then to your local office

okay so i can get a joint bank account no problem. we actually have seperate ones right now. but we can get a joint one.

We cant get a credit card in both names because i dont have a SSN. and i cant get a cali ID without a SSN.

insurance = i cant get any kind of insurance or be added to my husbands medical insurance without a SSN. so how do i get around this? and is there a way of getting some kind of state ID without having an SSN?

help??

Just wondering, why don't you get a SSN? it's easy and you can get the number in a couple of days, and the card in 2 wks.

Apply for a SS#, you WILL get one.

All you need to get a SS# is your Visa. I got mine a month after entry to the USA before marriage.

That does not matter. You can apply for a SSN. Work authorization is something different. Read the guide on getting a SSN. you have to know the facts before you go in b/c some of the SSA workers dont and will try to deny you. We got my hubby a SSN no prob. It says right on it, not for work without DHS authorization, or something to that effect.

Work authorization is the only thing that matters..

A K-1 is eligible for work authorized for first 90 days and is eligible to apply for a SSN form day 1 to day 76 of entry.. beyond that a K-1 is precluded from applying for a SSN until EAD or GC..

A K-3 is not eligible until EAD or GC. Period.

A tourist who is applying for status adjustment as the result of a marriage to a USC is not eligible for SSN until EAD or GC. Period.

Hi everyone, i have some questions about the AOS process that i am hoping that you guys will be able to help me out with so my husband alfredo can get his green card.

On the form I-485, the instructions in USCIS say that i need to attack a copy of fiance pettion approval notice, is that the letter that i got in the mail that reads "Dear petitioner: The state department's natinal visa center has recently received an approved -129F petition filed on behalf of your fiance. THis letter is to lt you know that within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa-issuing post where your visa interview will take place." And then it lists my husbands name, the INS receipt number, the case number, and where the case will be processed at. Is that the letter that they want a copy of? If not, can anybody give me a clue as to what they want????

It also said that i have to include a form of I-94, that is the page in alfredo's passport right? I just need to copy it... right???
