April 2015 AOS filers

Just an update on my wife's EAD/AP Combo Card. I have yet to receive it but I did submit an online inquiry for a non-delivered card since it was the best description available and as of July 30th, it says card was produced. Hoping my wife receives her Combo Card this week so that we can go apply for hers and daughters SS#. On a positive note, my daughter did receive her AP document since no Combo Card was sent to her by error and only an EAD card was received. No biggie since it'll work if needed for now!

Great week to all.

Quick update on our progress:

I left to go back to England on the 1st July, in the week or so running up to my departure my AP/EAD card had not yet been approved. I submitted an expedite request based on financial loss (just under $40k, so in my eyes thats pretty substantial) it got declined. HOWEVER we contacted all our local congressmen/senators who agreed that it should qualify. One aide was particularly helpful, calling USCIS on our behalf and eventually the agreed to expedite it and overnight ship it to us so that I could travel!

It was the old style paper AP document. A couple of days into my trip my EAD card got approved- so I knew i'd have that waiting when I got back. I had the most pleasant immigration/customs experience yet travelling back to the US. I was nervous they would be asking all sorts of questions but the woman behind the desk said "Honey welcome home!" and made a point of addressing me by my married name, not my maiden name on my passport. She led me back to the scary back room to get a special stamp on my paper AP document. While I was in there my husband waited outside with our luggage, 3 male immigration officers rushed out to 'mess with him', they pretended that I had been detained and my husband would have to pay $500. When we were walking off to our connecting flight they all said 'congratulations' and couldn't have been nicer.

Anyway, i've been back a week now and I had a notice of potential interview waiver in the mail. Not sure if I should worry about this or not. I originally got my SSN when I first moved here so I was able to open a bank account etc. I will just need to update it with my married name now that I have my EAD to prove status.

It's great that it worked out and you were able to travel! Welcome to the NPIW club.

That's good to know. Thanks! I saw someone from my field office who got approved recently- after 4 months of receiving their NPIW.

I got my updated Social Security card last Friday. I received it after 8 business days.

We've been busy packing and moving. We had to move for my job. My husband and I will start our new jobs in 2 weeks. It's a blessing that he found a job close to where we need to move. We wanted to make sure he had another job before quitting his job now in case we had an AOS interview. Well, that doesn't matter now because we got the NPIW! Errr... I told him he could have a vacation for a while. Haha!

Have a great week, everyone! I hope you receive quickly whatever it is you're waiting for (combo card, SS card, interview letter, job offer, baby (lol), etc).
