August 2012 AOS Filers

Yea i got text that they received the petition and i also got NOAs but no text message notifying me of the bio appt. I think that's what they needed an answer too

OOPS! too sleepy today. No email or text for me either

Grrrrrr.... RFE!!!!! Gotta send some addn'l info on my income. Sigh..... Still set for Biometrics on 13th. No way we're trying a walk-in, as we have to drive a bit over 2 hours and into a neighboring state to get there.... not worth the risk! If I get all this stuff sent off today, maybe we'll be back on track by the time we go for Biometrics anyways. We also have a MSC number. Hoping that's a good thing because our area stated it goes through Vermont.

That sucks about the RFE!! I check my account online everyday sometimes twice a day (morning and evening) and the thought of a RFE notice totally drives me nuts!!

Got my biometrics appointment! It's on 9/25! Yeah!

Same here...

Yay!!! Good news!!

[Tanja08 11]

Do they even look at the forms before you have your biometrics appointment? This seems all going so quick?

They will check if the forms are properly filed, if yes then they send out bio appointment.

If no, then usually they will return the whole packet back to you.

hey Tanja! go back behind on the waiting line, your getting in front of me!! haha! kidding! It's seems you and me are getting the notices at the same time though you filed 3 days later. Even your bio was scheduled 3 days before me.

It's funny how each case is different.

And look at ArJo & Pam Muss, that filed days before and nothing yet. so weird...

Now, I want my EAD so my job is not affected. If I get it in 30 days, it's cool. And I don't see it so impossible. When I filed 2 weeks ago, I thought EAD always took 3-4 months, I was so upset I filed so late.

And of course! I hope I don't get an RFE, or at least one I can send back the same day and not something about getting another sponsor .

Well... until then, wait game begins. When the guys that completed bio 20 days ago start moving, I can start getting anxious again

It's funny because I read your update and I told my husband to check the mail. He thought I was crazy!

But guess what I got my notice!

I'm not going to do the walk in, so we will see what difference it makes!

And somehow, without walk-in, you're still going to get your interview 3 days before me!! LOL!

It was dated 7 days ago!! dated 08.31, mailed 09.04!! What were they waiting for?!

NOA was mailed just 2 days later.

2012.09.01 - (day 10) - sat, 3 NOA in mail dated 08.28/mailed 08.30

2012.09.07 - (day 16) - fri, 9:30 am, Biometrics notice (09.28) dated 08.31/mailed 09.04

2012.09.07 - (day 16) - fri, 10:00 am, Walk-in Biometrics completed

About my experience, as soon as I saw the envelope, I was afraid it was an RFE, opened it, check boths bar codes were there, got in the car almost without shoes and drove to the office downtown columbus, ohio.

there was just one person ahead and one after. 10 min. later I was called into the fingerprint booth and the lady told me: "I am sorry, but you don't have an appointment... " (I thought noooooooo, they won't take me!! ), then she finished the sentence. "...We have to take you after scheduled people" Then I waited 5 min more until person after me went in, then me. And that was it.

Oh! And they corrected my height, I wrote 6'8'', and she said I don't think so, and changed it to 5'8''. (oops... they should have asked in metric!)

Good to see people receiving their appointments and stuff. Next we'll see when people start getting their interviews!

Hey guys!

Although my bio appt is 9/19, I will attempt a walk-in on Monday 9/10.

I haven't seen/read many info on the Las Vegas office therefore I don't know what to expect, but its not too far from me and it won't hurt to try. I hope my walk-in is successful

Somehow we must be in the same pile or something!

Can't believe we are always 3 days apart, maybe our last names begin with the same letter?!?

But you did the walk in, it probably will speed up things for you

That sucks. I hope is something that can is readily available so it doesn't slow down your case. Good luck

Yay!
