AOS docs submitted last August...

[elizabeth&hisham 0]

Hi all,

I'm just looking for some support, I guess.

We submitted Hisham's AOS, AP and EAD forms last August... by which I mean August 2005. AP was approved late last year. His EAD finally showed up this April. But we have had NO action or feedback at all on his AOS since he went to get his fingerprint appointment done last November.

I've called the hotline once per month, typically, ever since February. No help, of course. We had them "run a check" on it and "issue a referral number" months ago, but no update ever came. We've done two info-pass appointments since; the first was a "just keep waiting" in May and, at the second, the NYC Federal Plaza computer system crashed right before his number came up (and after a 2 hour trip and 2 more hours of waiting). We haven't resecheduled since that happened, last month, just because taking a day off to make the trip is such a hassle. Especially when you're losing hope, you know?

We got an interview appointment letter back in April, but then a cancellation notice came. The cancellation said that a new interview date would be assigned, and that we'd be notified by mail. No mail ever came.

I don't know... This is really beginning to feel *beyond* ridiculous. But I know the system can take forever, so am I being too antsy? Should we find some way to go raise heck, or just force ourselves to keep being patient...?

I'm honestly at a loss. Just wondered what the rest of you think.

Wow this seems like too long to wait. I'm really sorry I wish I could offer you advice I guess I would make an infopass appointment to inquire about your case. Good luck and sowy,

Sarah

Welcome to AOS hell.

E -

I am so sorry you are still going through this. To be cancelled in April to hear nothing yet is a very long time for AOS. I am not clear on your local office - your profile says Garden City? Is that NY NY? I am sure you are at this point past the current processing date. Have you tried contacting your senator or congressman? You seem stalled and again, past the current processing date. My only other suggestion would be to make another Infopass appoint

You definately have reason to feel *antsy*.

Good luck, its been way too long for you.

I am never going to complain again.

How have you coped with such an awful muck around like you have had?

My thoughts and wishes go out to you, hopefully you will hear something soon.

Thanks, everybody. I'm glad to know that it doesn't seem like I'm just being too impatient. I hate to complain (since we ALL know that this process sucks) but it's started to feel like we have good reason to. I'll ask H how he feels about trying another info-pass before we move on to hassling Ms. Clinton's office or something...

I applied for AOS at the beginning of April 2006. I have also not heard a thing about it since my biometrics were taken in May. I feel so frustrated with the system and I can only imagine how awful it must be to have been waiting since August 2005. That is absolutely absurd. I just don't understand why some cases are approved within 6 weeks and others take over a year - the facts are really no different so the "simple" case theory doesn't cut it. We have all been through the same K1 security check/interview process to get where we are.

I don't even know where my case is...still in Chicago or back in South Carolina...who knows what the f is going on....
