December 2015 AOS filer status

[Amhara 460]

Day 82. I can now see things in the 'Case History' of my EAD application from when I created a service request: the request was assigned to an officer; the response was created (boiler plate email); the request was closed.

[Edit] Called the NCSC again and asked to speak to a 'supervisor' (aka, Tier 2). They promised to call back in about 30 minutes. Let's see how that works out.

Same sh*t for me. We have the exact same timeline. created, assigned to officer, closed.

Why the glum faces? If it's closed, that means that it has been touched! Don't become discouraged until your case status doesn't change tomorrow.

Notice how many cases were approved on Friday, but didn't get their text/email notification until today? I don't think the status message changes instantly. If it's closed, it means that your status will change today or tomorrow, if not later today!!!

Grrr. Fingers and toes still crossed, for both of you.

It was closed a week ago, not today. Hence the sadface. Case 'last updated' dates are all still 12/16/2015.

I know how he feels ? I got my EAD/AP approval letters today so hoping the card will be here tomorrow or Wednesday. Job hunting can really begin and I can get my GA driver's license. Feels so good not to be in 100% limbo!

Hi Rach, noticed your in GA too, so we can get driver's license with EAD?

Dang! A whole week ago? Let's hope your status is just slow! What could they have done to it?

[Roy&Chanel 109]

Just received an update that EAD has been mailed but was not provided with tracking number. My AOS interview is near on end of March, so probably will only find a job after the interview. I'm so nervous! Btw repeating my previous post question, in the checklist of documents to bring, it says to bring I-693 unless submitted. Is that the sealed envelope that we provided when we arrive US? Because I have my vaccinations fully done with DS3025 form and handed in at arrival. Anyone care to help? Thanks in advance. I have to prepare a whole thick file with 2 of my K1 files, 1 AOS submission file, all over again for the interview. Praying hard that all goes well!

Yup. For sure. I'm just waiting for the card and then I'll be going to do the test ? if you check out the GA dmv website it tells you what documents you need for proofs etc. If you already have a valid foreign driver's license then you can do the tests without needing to have a learners permit!

No idea. Kinda why I'm hoping a Tier 2 IO calls back soon like the NCSC said they would.

That "sealed envelope" is from the civil surgeon that does your medical examination. Which, as a K-1 entrant, you won't have because you did your medical overseas. I submitted my DS-3025 along with the AOS packet. If you did the same and had a complete medical done abroad (with no class A conditions found) then you should be all set.

This is my understanding of it anyway. If I'm wrong, someone please tell me now for both our sakes!

I believe you will most likely get news from your AOS real soon because it seems like those from GA are processing! I'll just wait for my card and do the test too! Yeap I do have a valid foreign license but in Singapore, the driver's seat is on the opposite side, so I'm not sure if its accepted

You are correct I am just adding that if your medical abroad is valid for 1 year, so if it's not been a year at the time of your interview you should be fine.

Yep, same for me being from the U.K. This is my first time driving in an automatic too. Mainly manuals in England. As long as you have a valid foreign licence it doesn't matter what side you're used to. As long as you can drive and pass the tests you'll be fine.

I've been practicing for the knowledge here in GA and it's real easy compared to the one I had to do back home.

And I noticed GA seems to be moving fast. Hopefully something soon but I'm resting easy since my EAD/AP approval ?

Oh, so just a little light reading.

(I bet they don't even look at the majority of it - as per the embassy interview - but of course bring all of it!)
