AOS/EAD May filers

[Theresa&Rob 0]

Hello guys! My checks have been cashed last May 31st but I still didn't receive any letters from the USCIS until now.. I noticed that most of you have received the NOA1 then the checks cashed after that. I dunno, I am just worried coz I am expecting an RFE for my A# and they cashed my check.. Does that mean that I am not on RFE???

I still can't tell if I am a May filer even if my checks are cashed in the last day of May since I have no letter yet stating when they took action on my case...

Good luck to us!!!

Wait some more, your NOA1 will be on its way very soon.. RFEs can be sent after biometrics or CSC transfers even so there is no really a pattern, it usually happens upon the discretion of the person(s) reviewing your case, so don't worry too much for now. I got my NOA1 after the checks were cashed in of course, and received it in the mail 8 days after they received my AOS application.

I really can't help but worry mysticbluerose.. But all I really need to do now is wait like you said.. I sent my AOS more than 8 days ago maybe I will be getting my NOA1 soon... hopefully...

No NOAs for us either, and my cheques were cashed on May 31st too (didn't show on my account 'til yesterday, but it shows that they were cashed on May 31st)... hopefully on Monday we'll both get something!

Oh, my (possible) receipt numbers from the backs of the cheques are still not bringing up anything on the USCIS site, either. Oh well...

I feel a lot better featherB that I am not alone in my situation.. Hopefully we will both have our NOA1 in the mail this Monday.. Best of luck!!!

You are considered a May filer if your NOA is from May.

I'm sure you will receive your letters in the mail soon - remember last Monday was a holiday.

Good luck to you all.

@winterr: Do you have your name on your mailbox? Yesterday I heard from someone else here on VJ that she didn't receive her NOA for weeks simply b/c her name wasn't on her mailbox. She found out through an infopass appointment. I hope you will get your NOA soon. To all have us, have a smooth journey!

Its up to mailman. I don't have problems to get mail here, where i live now, because these are rental, so postman knows its always changing. But my mum and friends send me mail to my husbands mums address, where they lived for years. He taught its some mistake getting letter from different country there, so he didn't put it there. But later he was kind enough, to knock and ask her and make sure. And I got my mail.

I need some advice fellow May filers:

My husband and I mailed out his paperwork for his AOS and EAD in the beginning of May. He just had his biometrics done yesterday - things seem to be running smoothly so far. We did not apply for the AP because we're just planning on traveling in December. I was hoping he'd have his green card by then.

However, I'm realizing now that it is quite possible that he won't. And on top of that, we'll want to buy our tickets probably in September (for good rates).

Should we wait a few months to see if we have an interview or if he gets his green card and if not, then apply for AP?

Advice from anyone who has been in this situation would be great.

It seems that the AP takes a few months to be approved, correct?

I'd appreciate any help - thanks in advance.

Hi Bora Bora,

I am not in a similar situation as you, but I want to say what I would do in your case.

If you are lucky, you can get your GC by end of september, you can make your travel arrangements and find cheaper ticket etc.. But as you said, there is big possibility, your GC will arrive after September. I dont know where you are planning to go, but I would say you have to pay between 100-200 $ more per person if you buy your ticket in October or November. By applying for AP which costs $170 now, you will not need to worry about GC anymore.. Basically you need choose between:

1- a-apply for AP now, 170$

b- buy your ticket in September, X$, 2 PEOPLE 2X$

c- have a care-free vacation

TOTAL COST= 2X+170

OR

2- a-wait for GC, not pay for AP, 0$

b- buy an expensive ticket later, pay (X+ Y)$, 2 PEOPLE 2(X+Y)$

c-worry about GC and tickets until you get them.

TOTAL COST= 2(X+Y)$

Now the question is whether 2(X+Y) > 2X+170, in other words whether Y> 85 or not?? If you think that increase in per ticket will be less than 85$, dont apply for AP.

If I were you, I would apply and minimize the risks, and not worry about anything..

Good Luck,

K.

Awesome!!! I almost drop from chair! :jest:

RFE can get in any time during process. Our checks was cached before we got NOA1! Average days to NOA1 is 11 days. And there was holydays between. All will be well.

I think this week we will start to see more transfers...

[bora bora 1]

I think this week we will start to see more transfers...

I want to see some more action with our case (other than biometrics). I hope for a speedy approval for us all.

[JessiPooh 0]

So how long from biometrics for us to get our EADs??? Has anyone analyzed this

[csoul 0]

So how long from biometrics for us to get our EADs??? Has anyone analyzed this

from 60-90 days... and sometimes the GC arrive first than EAD! (obviously not in your case)

Your case is very simple (only EAD) and is on the CSC so maybe will take less time than normal.

Hi There,

received - 05/25/2007

Notice Date - 05/30/2007

received in mail - 06/02/2007

That is surprisingly fast..... I hope.....

BTW what means ASC Code???

Cheers Anja

We rcvd appt for biometrics on yesterday, appt is on June 19th at 2:00pm. Thanks Arazia for keeping up the timeline has been so very helpful in seeing the big picture in calculating the time frames. Well would you know that we are scheduled for a little vacationing fun and relaxation June 16th thru the 20th , just decided this morning that we will have to come back a day earlier rather than rescheduling appt.

[bora bora 1]

I've checked out a lot of timelines and read posts - it seems abotu 80-90 days until the EAD is approved.

Many of us have been waiting @ 30 days...so maybe no more than 2 months left...we hope!

BTW what means ASC Code???

ASC stands for Application Support Center, which I believe is your local office.

[heishe 2]

ASC Code on the NOA1s means the type of biometrics you'll need. IIRC, 2 is something like photo and one fingerprint, 3 is that plus complete fingerprints, or something.

Our checks were cashed last week and both cases touched on May 29 and June 3 (a Sunday #######).
