A work permit is called an EAD. You can apply for an EAD as soon as you enter BUT it will only be good until the 90 days from your arrival and since it takes 60-90 days to get the card it is pointless

Just gunna post my flow chart here so those of you waiting on NOA2 can kinda guesstimate your own timeframe. I129 sent April 27 Received April 29 (I received text and email) Hardcopy NOA1 arrived M

That dose not apply to k1 visas but to spousal visas your interview will be booked via your embassy not NVC.

just a quick welcome to the May Filers. we sent our I129-F on may 27, and received NOA May 31, but no letter as of yet. i guess that means we fall under May so nice to meet everyone!

wishing you all luck on your application and looking forward to seeing all the approvals!

There is another one from May 16th filers that's been approved June 15th. I am not sure if its expedited or they are actually working on May filers. Either way I hope everything will go fast for all of us! God bless us all....

Has anyone received something like this before:On June 22, 2016, the Post Office returned your document to us. We will hold your document for 180 days or until December 19, 2016. We are living in china and I'm wondering if the document is the NOA1 which we never received and was sent back. We have now changed the adress to his mom's in NY. Hopefully things go smoothly?
