July 2015 AOS filers

[Pishi_Pishi 63]

Hi Guys..I just saw below post on AOS June filers and thought it would be helpful for those that got RFEs:

"Just received AP approval notice! It seems like RFE for I-485 doesn't affect your EAD processing time that much if at all (at least in my case) since today was day 60 since filing my package with about a week of downtime to respond to the RFE notice. I was stressing out so much because of the RFE so i hope this puts others at ease."

Adjustment Of Status:

06/25/2015: AOS/EAD/AP package Sent to USCIS

06/30/2015: Package received

07/03/2015: NOA1 hard copies received

07/10/2015: Biometrics appointment letter received

07/18/2015: RFE notice

07/23/2015: Biometrics appointment

07/24/2015: RFE hardcopy received

07/27/2015: RFE response sent via USPS express

07/29/2015: RFE received

08/24/2015: EAD/AP Card production/Approved

Great news!

Yup as I said in the june thread, even with the RFE, I was actually approved for EAD/AP much faster than some filers that didn't have a RFE at all and my case was well under normal processing times so for the july filers with RFE don't lose hope!

Best thing you can do would be to send out the RFE response ASAP.

For filers that want the fastest processing possible, this is what I did to get a update from them within 2 days of sending out the response: Utilize the USPS Express Mail. If you take a look at your RFE hardcopy, you'll see that for Express Mail, they ask you to mail your response directly to the USCIS office's AOS department for immediate processing.

They also have a P.O. BOX for ALL other mail(priority/first class) that most people will send the RFE response to..i'm assuming they don't check this P.O. Box constantly and think of how big this pile will be after a day or two of accumulation..you can make a educated guess that the response in the P.O. Box will take much longer as opposed to having it sent directly to their office. so that extra $10~15 bucks i dished out for express mail was well worth it at the end.

I hope this helps, good luck to you all!

This makes me very excited, because our RFE was received just four days after yours.

MiltonAnaya - it was an address in Missouri. I'm at work now, but I can look it up when I get home. We kept a copy of the RFE form.

Me too!!!! I am so anxious

Wow, I thought that AOS is being processed in the local offices. Now it turns out that everything goes through Kansas City. OMG

So we need some state driver's license help.

My wife got her ID card, which is only valid for the 90 days from the day she entered on her K-1 visa. Now she wants to test for her driver's license. So the 90 days is up on September 2nd. What experiences have you all had with acquiring a driver's license and how long have they been valid for?

[Vicky&Fritz 33]

Hubby getting his was relatively easy, but he was transferring a Canadian license, which is done often in Florida. His is only valid for one year though.

[CathyCNC 1]

I went to get mine after got the NOA1 hard copy and license valid for 1 year.

I guess it all depends on which state you're applying from. In Atlanta, my permit was for my i-94 date which should expire on Sept 5. But I went in for my road test last week and I got Driver's License for 4 months with my NOA1.

Some states gives up to 6 months or 1 year with NOA1. So just check their website or call them.

Good luck

Jameel and Kasey- Thanks for sharing, this is good information. I never knew that the NBC reviews the AOS packets and sends out the RFE's. I always thought it was the USCIS Field Offices.
