Congratulations!!! That’s great news! My fiancé’s K1 visa is scheduled August 5. It’s been canceled twice already so hopefully it doesn’t get canceled this time.

Ca prend 2-3 mois donc ça ne devrait plus tarder. Tu devrais l'avoir ce mois-ci normalement. Si jamais on te propose un job et que tu ne l'as pas encore reçu, tu pourras toujours essayer de prendre rdv a ton bureau USCIS local pour essayer de faire expédier l'EAD.

Le fait que ton AOS soit marque au stade "Acceptance", c'est normal, ça fait la même chose à tout le monde. Pas d'inquiétude la-dessus. :-)

Ok, merci pour le message ! Vivement que la situation se débloque...

C'est toujours comme ça, ils ne veulent pas vendre des aller simples pour des raisons obscures.

Il faut prendre un aller retour, et juste annuler le retour une fois arrivé.

Ca vous a pris combien de temps après les biometrics pour voir un changement de votre status pour l'EAD et l'AOS sur le site de l'USCIS? Je suis allé faire prendre mes empreintes il y a un mois maintenant, et depuis aucun changement dans mes status.. je suis toujours en "initial review" pour l'EAD et "acceptance" (sic..) pour l'AOS ?

Ca me chagrine car je commence à avoir des entretiens assez avancé pour le taff, et j'escomptais bien avec l'EAD courant mars... mais ça me parait de plus en plus compromis...

Pour l aos si tu n as pas de notification d interview d ici ton ead/AP tu seras surement un interview waiver et tu es parti pour presqu un an d attente depuis le NOA1 selon ou tu vis!

Salut !

J'ai reçu mon visa le 06 mars et j'ai pris l'avion le 07 :) On est dans les préparatifs du mariage et le chantier de la maison.

Pas encore le temps de s'ennuyer !

J'espère que tu passes de bons moments avec ta famille et que ton petit s'amuse bien !

Puis surtout que tu as arreté de penser à l'AP !!

EAD en route et AP approuvé, ça avance ! Et l'entreprise qui m'avait proposé un poste accepte d'attendre 1 mois le temps que je reçoive l'EAD en main. Ca fait plaisir !

Yeah!! Si tout se passe normalement, tu devrais la recevoir sous 7-10 jours. :-)
