February 2016 AOS Filers

[SEG123 1]

No, I got two approval notices--one for the AP, and one for the EAD. Unfortunately, I checked today, and we still don't have the card.

I think we'll get it tomorrow or saturday fingers crossed!

And from what service center are you in? Im in NBC (Missouri)

[Abby&Colin 40]

Yes! We got a notice in the mail this afternoon. It was a total surprise since there was no status change online.

Yay Congrats hopefully I will hear something about my AOS soon !! !

Question for Canadian Filers that have recieved EAD/AP

I have found that while coming to the states that once you are approved of EAD you are eligible for EI in Canadatill you find work

I'm curious if the Canadian filers applied for EI and if so how did it go?

I applied to EI a within a week of entering the US (Nov/Dec) even though I knew I wouldn't be eligible without EAD I read it's a good idea so at least you're in the system. I'm glad I did because once I got my EAD (April) all they had to do was reopen my case after I faxed my SIN card and EAD. They then called me back within a week and asked me a few job searching questions and told me the interstate number to call to give my biweekly reports. There is a 2 week waiting period where you aren't eligible for EI (two weeks from the date your EAD is valid), but it is retroactive so by the time I made my first report the next week was the third week and as such I got a payment. A quarter of mine went to taxes though :S but overall it was a pretty easy process and the people at the interstate department are super helpful and nice. I got eligible for 19 weeks.

Yes! We got a notice in the mail this afternoon. It was a total surprise since there was no status change online.

First off, congratulation!!!

Second, I don't know what's going on with their system, but I used to get all the updates and now, nothing.

I just hope that I don't miss the interview letter.

Yeah seriously. I sincerely hope the mailman didn't misplace our envelope!

[francais_usa 74]

Congrats kikibozu on your interview! I'll let u know how ours goes! And we went to the DMV and everything went smoothly with the documents--they didn't even ask to see a social security card. He passed the test and can drive (yay!)

[TheRowgles 10]

WOOHOO! Just randomly checked my mail and I got my AOS approval notice... says they'll mail me my new permanent resident card within the next 3 weeks. Like a lot of other people I had no status changes through the website or by text so this comes as a surprise. My AP has been approved with no approval notice mailed for the past month and I have had my EAD since early April. And I just got mailed some CANADIAN red rose tea! aww yeah!

[francais_usa 74]

^ CONGRATS! You're all done until ROC!

Wow that's great!!! Which state are you from? Cause here in CA i tried going to dmx and they wouldn't accept my documents without any ssn. So that suckss

[francais_usa 74]

Thanks! We are in NC now, but will be leaving the state soon. And I know it was really weird--we needed his social to get his permit but I think since we showed them the permit card, they didn't really care to see the SSN again. It's one of the required docs in NC, though.

[MiNMiLove 33]

Do you think that when you call the 800# and here the 'current' status on our cases that is accurate? Or should we call and speak with an actual person? My husband never received the actual NOA hard copies, just bio appt letter. So, no NOA hard copy for AP.

[SEG123 1]

Okay so mail came by and I quickly went out to check our mail but to my disappointment, theres still no card :| Im really starting to worry now

[francais_usa 74]

Oh no don't worry it may come tomorrow! That's when our approval notices came!
