April 2016 AOS Filers

[pk4690 18]

Got my biometrics scheduled for Wednesday too, excited at the prospect. All those waiting for their appointment letters, they do seem to take ages, but they will come, just keep as distracted as possible!

Desperately hoping for a quick EAD after the biometrics, seems like they're moving quite quickly from looking at the Feb/March filers

I guess April is a bad time to file - USCIS is probably busy working on H1B applications filed in the first week of April.

131s, 130s, work auths all get priority over h1bs.. you have to get work permit within 90 days. max.

Well howdy partner... We are in the same neck of the woods... and on a similar timeline. You enjoy the fiesta? Edited April 25, 2016 by gpiper

Yep, we can see your timeline, that's awesome)

Can't wait to get to the Party point haha)

Great I'm glad it appears... There are a few people already arranging parties I think! I will definitely have an interview as I did not go through the K1 visa route so it will be a longer process for me. Still having been married longer than 2 years I'm hoping they give me a 10 year card straight away!

Indeed we are, good to see another UK filer going through the same thing here in Texas! I did enjoy fiesta, went down to SA from Austin to see my wife's mother who lives there, fantastic atmosphere and had a great time with her younger siblings.

I haven't gone through this visa procedures

I came to the US as a J-1 student and a week after i met my husband, we started dating and i stayed here

and overstayed my visa due to some circumstances

I only worry that yhe pictures I sent there were not the best and i don't want them on my documents XD

haha don't worry - apparently that's not the ones they use which confuses me why they would ask for so many. Anyways, the photos taken at your Biometrics are the ones they use for the EAD

I only filed the i-485, nothing else, so they should move quick with my case, eh?

.....i also, believe it or not, completely forgot to mention, here on this forum and to uscis, that a few years ago i worked in texas as a chef, on a work visa, for about two years..... Ooops

I wonder if that will be an issue....

Hey everyone, my timeline says it all. USCIS cashed the check last Tuesday, sent her an email on Friday about the NOA papers for all 3, and just got the NOA papers today.

To all those stressing out, do not! Just like the excruciating wait between the NOA1 and NOA2 for the fiance visa, it seems like forever. In the meantime you have time to spend time together and plan the job search and everything else. I used to check the USCIS website 2, 3, 4 times a day during the fiance visa. Just keep checking on it without being a nuisance to them and if there is an issue, they will let you know. Only if you feel there is going to be a problem with your situation or you feel it has been too long since things should have happened should you worry about it.

Hey there,

Not to worry you, but it just might cause issues. You should always be 100% honest and tell them everything, even if you think it could hurt your case. Just keep in mind, they are going to find out eventually anyhow and they will likely want to know why you failed to tell them that initially. Better to just be upfront from the start so have no issues to worry about.

I understand you forgot about it, even if that is sort of hard to believe. But they specifically ask for this kind of information on the application. Keep us posted but hopefully you just have some explaining to do.

[mama&papa 2]

Nope, still nothing

I'm thinking that probably they decided that my case is really good and strong and they're producing a GC already and decided not to bother me with all this biometrics and interview stuff

Anyway i just know that my next step is to call uscis if i don't receive anything from them by may 3rd

Lol... You have a sense of spirit..

[DerGraf88 5]

No, i seriously forgot about it. They never asked about it on the application , and it was soooo long ago, way before i met my husband in germany.

Back then, my boss did the entire visa thing. I only went to the consulat , did that 10 min interview and a week later i had the visa in the mail.

I never thought i would have to apply for a greencard in the future since that was never the plan..

Where do they ask for "this kind of information" on the application?

[Blessboy77 1]

They do ask if have ever applied for work authorization before and was granted and which service center , the month and date

They do ask if you have ever applied for work authorization before ,was it granted and which service center , the month and date it was granted

[DerGraf88 5]

Oh really? Oops, must have totally skipped that question then! good thing i havent thrown out my expired passport with my expired visa then i will just bring it to that interview, if it ever comes to that

[Blessboy77 1]

If you didnt answer that question they may ask for an RFE
