hi there potsy! we have a lawyer too! Your lawyer gets a copy of all documents sent to you by the USCIS. What you get is a personal copy and a duplicate copy is received by your lawyer. So that means that your lawyer gets all communication too. =)

If you check your status online and read through the notice online, biometrics is usually done 30 days after NOA. The appointment letter comes 2 weeks before the said biometrics appointment date. I'm surprised that a lot of people get it earlier...

I wish we get ours soon... :):yes:

Really? I'm glad I found somebody who filed just like I did! :) I moved to a different city but same state and only 15mins away from our old address. And I changed our address on post office online a day before I gave my new address to my lawyer.

In case mine got lost, my lawyer will get the copy uninterrupted right?

Absolutely! I already inquired last month that to get an ssn, what we need is EAD (applicable to people on AOS) :yes:

I got my SSN with just my K-1, I didn't need an EAD. Whoever told you that is misinformed and you should go check with someone else!

That works! I really thank you for your positive attitude. I hope o get it soon, I am praying all of this will be over with by December. I don't want to miss the deadline for signing up for college :/ although I heard you can take out a SSN with the EAD?

You can get a SSN without the EAD if you came on a K1 Visa . You can apply for one-- 2 weeks after arriving in the Usa .

Really? I'm glad I found somebody who filed just like I did! :) I moved to a different city but same state and only 15mins away from our old address. And I changed our address on post office online a day before I gave my new address to my lawyer.

In case mine got lost, my lawyer will get the copy uninterrupted right?

Yep... You have to get a form from the usps for your change of address and forward it to them just in case you still dont get your other mails...regarding the lawyer, he gets all copies from uscis.. So i suggest you keep in touch with him. Hope this helps... :)

Hey no problem! At the bottom of the RFE letter, there should be a list of documents that they want you to send them. How about you send me what they said, and that will help out more :). If it's just proof of their status, then I would send in copies of their birth certificates and/or passports.
