So, technically was there any overstay that would hurt her case since our 1-94 expired on the day we sent the AOS Package and received NOA1 on 8 Mar?

Also, how long did it take, after you received your AP, to receive your GC approval and Actual GC?

Did you have an interiew?

Because, I've asked Maritza to hold off on a trip home until her GC arrives, but I am wondering if that will be maybe only a month or so, or much longer?

K. -- overstays include any previous visits that she may have made to the U.S. (exceeding the period of approved stay, or -- far worse -- entering without inspection). If she'd never been to the U.S. before, then no worries.

We got the AP & EAD within a day or so of each other, I think 3.5 months after applying. The GC came not long after that. This is from memory, so see my timeline for the truth. Our package was transferred to the CSC and we had no interview.

I'll PM you about the other stuff, si man. :)

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Kenny,

you are overly concerned. Maritza can travel on AP, no problem. Should the AOS be approved while she is abroad, she will show her AP nonetheless when boarding the plane, and at the P.O.A. the CBP officer will either just admit her (likely) or put an I-551 stamp in her passport (unlikely). Nobody expects family members to forward a Green Card to a foreign country. Also . . . imagine the AOS gets approved while she's on board of a plane to the US.

Really . . . don't worry about this.

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear!

Thanks for clearing that up... Sometimes, I really need it spelled out for me! Thanks again...

Kenny
