Green Card Received VERY FAST

[GinFar 0]

Hi everybody....here's a little update of our busy 2 months. My husband's AOS was filed September 27, 2006 in Chicago. We e-filed for his EAD October 10. His biometrics for his AOS was October 17, so when he was there, he asked if he would be receiving a biometrics appointment for his EAD and would need to return for that. The man there looked at his NOA for his EAD and went ahead and made a second photo and prints and stamped his letter, but we were sure he would still get a biometrics appointment, which he did. So, to make sure everything was done to PLEASE, we went the second time also, and he told them what they did the first time, so they didn't take his photo or prints. We kind of figured he'd be getting approved fast because by the time we went for his EAD biometrics, his AOS had already been transferred to CSC on October 25. Like someone else posted before, these days paying the $180 for the EAD can be considered by some to be a waste of money, or you can look at it like an insurance policy for "just in case." ANYHOW, last Thursday, November 9, he got his WELCOME letter and we spent the entire day in AWE of this letter. I joked with him and said, "Wouldn't it be great if you got your green card tomorrow?" He thought nooooo, it would be 3 weeks at least like the letter said, BUT...guess what?! The next day, November 10, this beautiful card with this more beautiful photo arrived~! Today, we went to apply for a new SS card without the DHS authorization only stuff on it. He'll be working soon WE HOPE.

Also, for the record, the online status changed for his AOS but stays the same for his EAD which I suspect will remain that way because that doesn't really apply anymore.

Wow!!! That's awesome, congratulations!

I'm hoping for a speedy approval too as my AOS was also transferred to CSC pretty qucikly, hopefully I won't need the EAD either, but you're right, it seems like a waste! Oh well!

Congrats!!

Good luck !! It seems like nearly everyone posting who has their AOS sent to CSC gets approved fast. We stayed hopeful but were always thinking we could be one of the ones with an RFE or waiting longer. You'll probably go fast and then have all this waiting behind you too.

We applied for all 3 121 days ago. Still don't have AP or EAD. AOS interview in 3 days, maybe we'll finally get some where.

Seems some people get through in 5 weeks, others are lucky to get anything done in 5 months.

What really irks me is my RFE was for something that was clearly marked in the first package, I sent the exact same info in the second time and they took it, go figure.

If we don't have our green card or EAD in hand by Dec 8th I'm going to go to the local office and raise holy cain for at least our EAD.

Our transfer notice of October 25 says that it was sent to Laguna Niguel, CA. I don't know about anybody else's, but I have read a few posts here and there that some have RFEs or interviews anyhow, but from what I can see, it's not many at all.

THANKS ~! And good luck to you TOO ~!
