After I'm done with the procedure I'm free to help if there's anything you'd like to know or how to handle.

Why do you have to go for a follow up medical?

My husband's name was written wrong in my visa,we just contacted the embassy back home letting them know and then we've saved the email correspondence- just in case the USCIS will make an issue out of it. I mean - you've already followed through with the requirements you had to meet for your 90 days, I'm sure it will be fine :)

I hope that everyone in here is doing well through the process and is being patient. I know that the process can get long and boring but the outcome is great. If any of you need help or need a question answered let me know, I hope everyone gets approved and becomes a resident of this great country.

biometrics came through after the hard copy NOA1s. separate letter.

when you get the biometrics letter it will tell you which case numbers it refers to - mine covered both EAD and AOS on one biometrics appointment which i had earlier this week.

I hope that everyone in here is doing well through the process and is being patient. I know that the process can get long and boring but the outcome is great.

For AOS and EAD, after Biometrics, do we just sit tight and wait wait wait? Can progress be established anywhere? (USCIS status has not been updated for weeks)

Or, is no news good news??
