And one more thing, has anyone applied for SSN separately (I mean in the Social security Administration). I applied for it on 26 of April, was told that it would take 2-4 weeks to get SSN. Today marks the 4th week, and still no news. Has anyone applied for SSN and got it?

We applied as soon as we got the NOA letter the first time and we got it 3.5 weeks later

Hey guys
Foolish question-

Am preparing my packet for AOS
Which includes AP and EAD documents.
Where do I send it to? it seems it goes to the Chicago lock box but I've heard people say things like "My EAD office is slow..."

So which is it? Does this all go to one place or do I have to send it to an office near me?

Can y'all who successfully had confirmation of receipt, bio-metrics, etc please confirm for me?
Thank you!

I just received my biometrics appt for June 4th!

Do they update the status right away when they sent biometrics letter? 

I don't think so. The update ( and unfortunately it does not always happen) happens after the biometrics appointment is done and it takes a few days after. But some people don't get updates...I got mine on both websites but a few days apart...

AoS packets go to the Chicago Lockbox - they distribute them to local offices from there.

how long does it take for you to receive an email notification? We sent AOS package on 5/17/2018 by USPS and was delivered on 05/19/2018  but have not received anything.

Took about 7 to 8 days for myself. So maybe they will let you know by upcoming Tuesday (since Monday is a public holiday)

Hello guys, I am also a May filer.  Last week received a text/message regarding my NOA1 (Priority date: May 17).

 

A question! Please advise if you know if there is a way to expedite EAD. In case I have a job offer from the employer, can it serve as a solid ground for expedite? I have read the criteria (financial loss, emergency, etc.) I assume getting a job offer doesn't qualify under any category. Anyway, do you have any thoughts with this regard?

 

Thanks

Sona 

 

 

From previous threads that I read (if you google "EAD expedite K-1"), it seems you can't expedite it unless there is financial loss/emergency. And job offer would not fall under that category.

For myself it took a week to receive my initial card, and my updated card with my married name on it. Has your I-94 expired? That would be the only reason why I can see why it's taking so long.

My husband and I sent his AOS package today.  It's going to arrive at the Chicago Lock Box tomorrow morning.  We didn't apply for his EAD/AP at the same time as the the AOS because we got confused about the instructions.  Hopefully we can use the NOA1 to apply for EAD without paying another $410 :(.  Anyways, I hope we are still able to be considered May filers but I might have to move over to June if it takes a while to get the NOA1?

They may reject it depending if you paid the $1225 fee, as that fee is for AOS and Biometrics as well as AP and ED.

We have a letter on USPS Informed Delivery from the Department of Homeland Security National Benefits Center. Is that our biometrics letter?  

 

If so... one problem. We are moving from Maine to Washington state this Saturday. If I change our address now, will that totally screw us?

 

It might be the NOA1 if you still haven't received it yet.

 

If it is your biometrics letter, then it may screw with you, as they will let you know your appointment date with the closest office to you in Maine. 

 

However, there is a "Request for Rescheduling" on the biometrics letter where you can get it rescheduled to an office in Washington. Best call USCIS to confirm how you should do things though.
