June 2014 AOS filers

OK so im in need of some help.

My husband and i filled for his AOS back in June. (i noticed that many of you all on this thread had interview waivers) We were not as fortunate anyhow, we had our interview in Sept. of 2014. We contacted USCIS in regards to the case to check status back in march. We even went to the local office and they told us to resubmit our info of RFE from the interview since it was not received!! We had tracking and all for the info to be sent yet they say they never got it. soooo, we hand delivered the info. a few days later we had an immigration officer come by and do a quick check here at home.

Husband was working. The officer told me flat out that he felt it was crazy for them to have sent him out if he sees there is NOTHING wrong with our case. He told me that he would go back to the office and type up his report and give to the last person that touched our case. He told me that we should be hearing something really soon and not to worry! This was since April.

In the meantime, my husband i and submitted for his renewal of employment authorization. He had biometrics done in mid May.

the problem i am facing now is that his old employment authorization/ SS/ and DL expire the same date (August).

How can he obtain a new SS? How can we justify his legal status here since his AOS is still pending. He can not get a DL if he does not have his SS. And he can not get his SS if he doesnt have proper legal status info.

He is currently working at the local hospital.

Does anyone know what to do or experienced the same thing???

Is your husband good looking like jailbait? I know I was and since I looked a certain way, I was interviewed for green card in 1997 but my file was placed in a "security check" but I didn't know that till they called me for a 2nd interview in 2007 and I didn't get my green card till almost 10 years after the first interview.

Just be patient.. I know it was very hard for me but this is all true.

Wow, that's a very long journey. So, which kind of visa did you adjust to get the green card?

Mine was based on my parents.. I was a minor at the time, 17 I believe. They were approved but mine was held up..

So, are you a U.S. citizen now? Because I saw your timeline was adjust from K-1 visa and only U.S. citizen can filed I-129F.

Oh yes, I went through it and became a citizen. This new one's for my wife.

I actually had to delete my old timeline since it didn't allow me for 2.

The US CItizenship interview actually called for another security check and it was another 2 months but I approved.

Not sure why.. maybe it's all males under 35 that get extra scrutiny.

Congrats for both of you. Glad you two could make it into such a difficult journey.

Thanks.. hoping I get the actual card soon but AFAIK the residency begins from the notice date of the welcome letter, not the date when the card is manufactured.

Are you signed up for email and text notifications? If so, did you get them?

[jyaku 138]

Are you signed up for email and text notifications? If so, did you get them?

Yes I am, and no I did not. The USCIS case status still shows fingerprinting as latest action.
