AOS November 2016 Filers

[samack 79]

Got my NOA on November 21st and did biometrics on January 13th. No movement of any kind so far, but I'm getting antsy about getting my EAD so that I can keep myself occupied and contribute more. I'm also in the museum/heritage/culture field and I have a feeling that government funding is going to be absolutely decimated in the coming months, so I'd like to be able to get a start somewhere before that happens.

 

It definitely helps to follow along with a thread like this, though! Seeing other people get updates after similar waiting periods does a lot to put things in perspective and make you feel less forgotten.

it's so nerve-wracking to see Visa Journey processing date for EAD to be 11/4, and our date being the same. The nerves are worse than when we were only a few days away! Now I'm like where is ours! Haha...

Haha I can only imagine! Quick question....Visa Journey processing date is from the date the case was received or the notice date? (My case has a gap of 16 days so it is a big difference lol)

see the following FAQ link from this site: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Notice_of_Action_(NOA)

 

The received date is the date it is entered into the system. The notice date is when the letter is printed. I've been using the received date. I mailed my applications on 10/31, received 11/4.

Now you have me second guessing myself. Input later date and now it says estimated 2/5-2/9 on the site. Haha I don't care anymore - this process is nuts. Based on this we should probably hear something within the next week. Maybe this will stop me from checking the website so often.

You don't enter the received date in VJ only the date filed. This is what it counts from. Just check someone in the October thread that already was approved

Yeah, i just saw your timeline and you are almost 1 month ahead of me lol I am sure you will hear from them in the next days. And yes! This web is useful but it also can make you want to know more and more lol

But the received date is the date filed. Then there is the "receipt" date. Per FAQs, received date (which is also shown on the USCIS website) is the date application was put into the system. Receipt date is the date the NOA was printed.

I'd say the real question is "why is Claudia up wondering about this at 630 am?"

I have put in the same dates as I did during the i-129f process. There it says "i-129f sent" this is the day I sent it... I have considered this the same as the filed date i.e the day I file/send it is the same day.

 

Then there is the received date which yes they input into the system, but there is no field for entering this in VJ. Then there is the NOA date...  The timeline processing data counts from the filed date.

Technically I sent it on 10/31, filed date was 11/4, and receipt date is 11/18. If it was based on my "sent" date I should have definitely been approved bt now. They are currently on 11/5 - as estimated by this site. But obviously that is not all exact.

[Suss&Camm 2,213]

I probably just did it this way cause of the i-129f... Had I not gone through that process maybe I'd put it differently  

[Suss&Camm 2,213]

Putting the sent date makes no logical sense really... You are ofc right that the filed date should be the date they received it. I will change it so it will be more correct for the process. 

The date that is counted is still this date though... towards the processing timeline on VJ.

 

Just 1 day difference for me, sent it overnight

Hahaha because I am freezing (yeah, at 45 lol) and I dont want to leave my beeed! (The coldest I am used to is 60). But I think it's time to stop wondering about this and get some breakfast have a good day everyone!

 

(Ohh..I had my first car accident this weekend) Gio was driving and some silly guy was on his phone and didnt see that we werent moving (the car in front of us didnt move) So we got hit from the back. And then we hit the car in front of us. I was panicking but we are alright. I was like...if the police ask for my documents what the heck am I supposed to tell him??!! "I am out of status waiting for the AOS but I am legal because I married him during the first 90 days, Sir." Lol everything went fine. We are going to the doctor today to check our necks.
