Mine was $140 because some of the shots were covered by my insurance.

Whooo such good news to receive on a Friday. Maybe you will get a letter in the mail about the expiring I-693. If I were you, even if I didn't get a notice, I would still get an updated one. You don't want to get a rejection for something small like that especially when you've been waiting for a year. I know it's annoying; I'm in the process of getting a new I-693 myself. All the places I tried want to charge $200+ but we are at the mercy of USCIS.

Man I wish I had asked you guys before I started doing mine. I found a place in the BX that did it for $175 and insurance covered my flu shot and X ray (I always show positive for TB even though I don’t have it grrr)

Good morning everyone

FINALLY got my interview notice for April 3rd!!!! It is literally the entire year of wait!

 

Now, question - My health form was dated 3/31/2016, but I am going in for interview at 4/3/2017. Does it mean I need an updated i693? 

Ours expire a day after the interview and yes we went to the doctor to get a new one. Im actually trying to verify if the lab reports for the gonnorrhea testing needs to be in the sealed envelope, ideas anyone?

congrats on getting that interview nyc waiting game. It is indeed a 'waiting' game haha! Im trying to avoid any more waiting after interview so im making sure we have things in place.:)

I hear you. But from Ive been reading on this whole website, a lot of people get their EAD/AP cards sometimes even before the biometrics!!! That really makes me think that it's not connected, that the BIO appt is for the actual green card. So that's good, you can kind of be sure that they are already working on your case!

Some people do walk-ins, but it looks like it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the timeline anyway.

What's EAD/AP?

EAD/AP is the work authorization (i-765) combined with the advance parole document (I-131)

 

Both were optional... the work authorization is important to have because that is what will prove your presence here legal after "overstaying" due to adjusting process.  The Advance Parole is for persons who do travel while the case is pending.  It advises USCIS that you have not abandoned the case.  If you traveled without it then they would cancel your case due to abandonment.

Hi Nipperswife, can you advise how you got the Social Security #? Need that for taxes. We have had our EAD/AP card for some time but I wasn't aware how to get a SSN! Thanks so much

Hi everyone ,

 

December Filer here ! I'm glad to see a forum for Nyc filers .

 

dunebuggy, you just need to go apply for a new Ssn at one of their offices. I believe you can mail your application too. Look for the application on the Ssn website.

They say it takes 10 business days to receive it .

Hope that helps !

Im a December filer here.

 

Sent my case on December 10th, received on the 12th with a PD of dec 13th.

Did my bio on January 18th .

 

My cases hasn't been updated since December 28th ! Did anybody have a similar experience ? Is that normal ?

 

I called Uscis this morning, all he could tell me was that Uscis was processing AOS from March 2016 ( The 12th I believe) and that it takes 9 months in NYC to get an interview and to call back then .

you're welcome... thats what we are here for..

Once you have the social security number apply for the state I.d... or the driver's

For those have already received or been approved for their EAD/Ap :

was your case approved at the National Benefits center or in NYC?

My case is still at the NBC, not sure if it's supposed to be transferred to NYC to get Ead approval.
