I know there are two major holidays coming soon and I think it won't be a help at all.

Everybody needs to relax your loved one is already here, just let the application ride it's course.

Lol. Thanks for reminding us that. The only reason I'm concerned about this is because I for some stupid reason

I get denied or we get called for a random interview and get denied, it'll be a huge pain to have to pay a lawyer. My friend was denied for AOS and had to hire an immigration lawyer and the marriage is legitimate. I know I'm thinking too much, but ahhh. Maybe staying away from this website will make me more calm. Lol. I read too much that's why I worry.

so it's kind of "normal" that we didn't get any news since August 16th (according to the USCIS website)

We filed thru VSC

Got our NOA

GOt our bio appointment

Early bio

and nothing since

not even on the USCIS where it just says they received our file on aug 16th!!

its more than 2 months ago

should we worry?

It's easy to say that and normally I'd be there right with ya'; however, my wife's passport expires in March. Obviously we're not going to see approved cards by March and I'm not sure Uzbekistan will accept an expired Permanent Resident card with NOA as proof of status. So if she goes there to renew her passport, she may be stuck indefinately.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. The Uzbek consolate in DC already stated that they can't provide exit visas (Uzbek thing) so I'm pretty sure they won't be able to do anything about her passport state-side.

Anyone know if her Uzbek passport has to be in good standing to file for citizenship next year?

How do you know/predict that there won't be approved cards by March? Just asking.. am I missing out on anything here..

As has been said, Two Major holiday periods coming up, plus fact that Feb and March are still being processed 7-8 months plus. I will be ecstatic if i get mine for Christmas(April Filer) but not going to hold my breath and not particularly worried, it will come when it comes.

No one at this point should be worried because the fact that we haven't heard anything is NORMAL. The expected timeline for Vermont is 6.3 months, it's only been 2-3 for us August filers and do you SERIOUSLY expect that USCIS is going to meet that timeline?

The only time you need to start worrying is when everyone else who filed in August has their approval and you don't. Until that point they are obviously not working on the August filers and our cases will be sitting in limbo.

Can't you go with her on a trip to her country so she can have her passport renewed?

Again - normally - I'd agree with the no reason to worry approach; however, we're in a bad situation I'm afraid. My wife's passport expires in March so she'd have to leave now to get a new passport but by the time it takes to get the new passport (2+ weeks), her Permanent Resident card will be expired so if she left today, she could be stuck in Uzbekistan until I can ship her the new PR card (March/April).

I know the NOA states her status is good for a year during processing and that's helpful/useful for US Immigration and Homeland security but I'm not certain that Uzbek officials will accept it.

We're going to call the Uzbek consulate here and see if they'll do the passport.

Meh... just worried is all.

Can't you go with her on a trip to her country so she can have her passport renewed?

Yeah, granted I could get an approved visitors Visa for Uzbekistan which is hard to come by without an invitation. Wouldn't affect her standing though.

OKAY. No need to write in BOLD LETTERS.
