March 2014 AOS Filers

[Anonymous885 44]

And I am already employed .. my current EAD (F1-OPT) expires on 16 Jun. My interview is on Jun 9th, so there's a good possibility I get everything done before 16th, but it's very very close. If I don't get GC/EAD before 16th, I have to quit my job

Did you submit expedited request based on financial lost?

Also, I think we can submit inquiry after your I-765 are pending more than 75 days ( base on NBC processing time statement).

You are right that we ( K-1) might have 50/50 chance of having interview waiver. The fact is that the person who gets interview waiver might have to wait 6-12 months to have GC. Therefore, if you have interview, then you will get GC faster (Of course if you get approved) than interview waiver.

If my wife gets her EAD and AP, then we dont have to worry too much on how long it takes to get GC. However, it will push ROC and Naturalizarion back couple months. I want to stay away from USCIS as soon as possible lol.

I know how you feel...my husband is changing from B2 and we need to go to the south of france at the end of September...and im slowly losing hope because we are not even on the interview stage yet...so different situations but same feeling!!

Nice. I am currently working in Marseille, France. Where are you going to the south of France?

The fact is that my wife got a job offer and she cant do anything until she gets EAD.

Her status of I-485 is ALSO at acceptance status. This is even more frustrating.

Have your congressman involved. My EAD was approved a month after my biometrics and I have a RFE under review. Sent his immigration liaison my job offer and a cover letter and they expedited my work permit in a couple days. PM me if you want a copy of the letter I sent.

@ hector Thanks for offering but I will see what happen for up coming week.

@ Pilou. That is like 30 km from Marseille. I wish you guys will have interview and get GC soon.

I will definitely send an inquiry on Monday, and also expedite request.

OK, yesterday I had my interview (840am) and have been stressed since - No news or updates yet.

The interview was really intense and it was done together.

Everything went well until she asked us if we consummated the wedding.

We are of islamic religion and we cannot consummate until a certain time even if the legal court marriage is done.

I told her the truth - I could have easily lied by saying yes (because this question leads to asking about scars on the body, i know the scars too) but we have just not actually consummated yet.

We showed her the engagement/court marriage photos. She told me to name everyone in the pictures (like 30 people in the pics)

The only thing we have together is a bank account, on submission of papers the balance was 25$, so she said that is too low.

Luckily i had new statement with a much larger balance.

I took screenshots for Facebook/Instagram showing 'Married'.

we gave her our Whatsap/Skype communication log for 9 months which was 1576 pages originally (cut it to 25 pages each)

She said, they will notify us by mail with a decision (infact she even mentioned about 2 year later to file ROC - i dont know if that is a requirement to mention or a note to remain positive)

Got my EAD/AP card yesterday (79 days). Wife thought it was junk mail :-)

When people say it's a combo card that slightly misrepresents it - it's an EAD card with a statement in small text at the bottom saying "Serves as I-512 Advanced Parole"

Anyone would think they decided to save money and time by sticking a small line in at the bottom of the card but I'm not complaining...

I also just received my EAD/AP card today! Sooo happy! My AOS is still on "acceptance" mode and no interview date yet, but it doesn't matter (for now).

@rjm_cmyk: Yeah, mine looks like that too. http://www.uscis.gov/news/questions-and-answers/uscis-issue-employment-authorization-and-advance-parole-card-adjustment-status-applicants-questions-and-answers

Thanks for sharing your experience, Virgi. It does sound positive if interviewer mentioned about ROC. Keep us posted and hoping with you that you receive your GC soon!

Hang in there, sweet cakes - I got a text with an appointment date about 10 days after my husband received his combo card. Fingers crossed!
