September 2014 AOS Filers

[jaimelee 12]

Our NOA1 is from September 22nd and we are still waiting, although we did have an RFE in October and they received my response for that on Nov 11th. It's kind of frustrating since many October filers have already gotten their EAD's. I hope my wife's EAD is coming soon!

Did you file a electronic update request? You can file one once 90 days from the day they received it has passed, since at that point it is out of "normal processing time".

That's so weird, and rude!!! Lol I'm sure you were preparing for your interview.

What your status in uscis says????

On December 17, 2014, we cancelled your interview for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxxx, and mailed you a cancellation notice. We will notify you by mail if the appointment is rescheduled, a decision is made, or if we need something from you. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by January 16, 2015, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

so annoying!

My poor husband is all upset because his Australian drivers license expires tomorrow and we have to have the I-551 stamp before he can get one in Tennessee. He's, also, freaking out because our I485 still shows "On September 15, 2014, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485," blah blah. Any tips on if there's something I should do now? We're having to send his EAD back since it's got the wrong bday on it, they did email us about it on Dec 13th.

Sorry to hear that My local USCIS office is the Memphis TN one & my I-485 says that too. Glad they emailed you back about his EAD. I think they are having slight delays on the I-485s. I would call & try to speak to a Tier 2 officer or send an erequest if you haven't heard from them in the appropriate time frame they posted on the uscis website for I-485 which I think is 4 months. Best of luck

Geezzzz... I bet!! I guess all you can do is wait if they send another date or maybe decided to do interview waiver.....

at least he was able to drive all this time... That was a privilege mostly of us didn't have my I-485 said exactly the same since September 18 until it changed for interview.... That's normal, I would say you just have to wait until they schedule something or send interview waiver letter.

Do you still have his EAD or sent it already when they told you too??? If you have it already he could go try get a DL??? If you sent it already since it has been days I guess you will hear something soon about the new one.

Congrats on the SSN card!

You should check the DMV website to see what all you need to bring. Here in Georgia you need: EAD along with unexpired foreign passport / GC, SS card and 2 proofs of residential address. I don't have any utility bills in my name either but it gives you a list of what you can bring instead and I can bring NOA1 of my I-485 and my husband's Georgia DL that has our address on it (my husband must be present). Hope that helps!! Good luck!

USCIS service centers will automatically schedule a district office interview in cases where legal status must be validated, identity must be validated, there is evidence of fraud, the person has a class A or B medical condition, there is doubt about the person's qualifications or admissibility, or this is the second time the I-485 application was filed.

Interviews will not be waived for cases involving entry without inspection (EWI), otherwise known as illegal entry. If you did not provide evidence with your application showing that when you entered the US, an immigration officer inspected, paroled, or interviewed you, the case will automatically be scheduled for an I-485 interview. Interviews will not be waived for cases filed with I-485 Supplement A, or in family cases where one of the applications does not meet interviewee for criteria.

This is some information about interview waivers that I have found online. It's hard to anticipate if you'll get one or not. There were couples with a baby who still got an interview, even thought one might think they are for sure a real couple since they have a baby together.

It does seem that if you have an interview you get your green card sooner than with a waiver based on the experience of other forum members. Therefore, I'd prefer to have an interview.

Today I have opened my social security account online as I'm hoping to be able to find out when my name changes in the system this way. The only way I believe I could verify this online is by pressing the button "Get a Benefit Verification Letter" where you are referred to in your full name. They are still referring to me in my maiden name. So I believe it was still not updated in the system. I'll check it every day until I get my new card in the mail. So curious of when is going to change online! The mailing process must take at least 2 days I believe.

I did not receive an interview waiver and I've been married to a US born citizen for 24 years! Our children are dual citizens and attend university in the USA. We got stuck in the backlog in 2013 and waited 13 months before we finally got a K3 in 2014. Applied for 485 and still waiting (even though I-130 has been approved). You would think this process would be faster! I've just given up trying to figure out how they process our files.
