June 2020 AOS Filers

[Brklyn Belle 71]

The wait times listed below are for the Baltimore field office.  Based on that we could wait up to 3+ years to get an interview.  Am I reading that correctly?

 

• 17.5 Months to 42.5 Months
  Family-based adjustment applications

I had the AoS interview today in NY. It went well. I checked my AoS status and it changed to 'New Card Is Being Produced'.

Congratulations!! What items did you take with you? We’re debating bringing the same stuff we submitted in the application

Thanks so much! The officer looked at the original copy of our ID (my passport and my husband's driver license), original copy of our birth cert including our daughter's, original marriage cert, copies of our joint bank account, our recent income tax returns, and our recent family photos (printed). Those were the items he asked for but I over prepared and brought copies of what I submitted. Hope this helps.

The response seems to vary per officer.. The ones I talked to before couldn't/wouldn't schedule my biometrics either. It was only this last one who did.

 

If you have a valid medical reason for wanting to expedite your case, did you tell the agent you talked to about that?

We've told them about the medical treatment issue, but no reply since then, neither from the Congressman's office nor USCIS. Honestly, I think this Congressman has no clue how to help us. Our application was received JUNE 5, 2020 and STILL NO BIOMETRICS... I don't know what to do, would an immigration lawyer be our last hope?

Same thing happened to us! I received an email this morning stating we "missed" our appointment. Thank you for all the tips I reached out to Emma and am supposed to get a call back within 72 hours. Hope we can get an appountment scheduled and good luck to you both, at least we finally heard something back from Seattle!!

Were you able to schedule your biometrics? We're still in limbo, no notice, no update, ignored by USCIS and Congressman's office.

Positive TB test, interview is less than 3 weeks away, should I be concerned? What are the next steps/chest xray?

Hey Guys,

 

I have a question for the folks who received the EAD:

 

DId you also receive your SSN Card? If so, how long did that take? 

 

We checked the box on the form to allow USCIS to release the information to SSA in order to generate a card but I have been reading online that USCIS does not always send this over. 

 

I appreciate the help.

Yeah i got an ssn card with my ead. It has a statement on the ssn that it is only valid with the ead.

You could =  or it could be faster.  Our wait time was 18-27 months, and my husband's interview was scheduled 10 months after filing.  There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason behind it.

Same here. I was finally able to efile State and Federal today and both were accepted. Now to wait for them to be processed but I am just glad I did not have to mail them in.

How long did you have your SSN when you E-filed.

 

My step daughter got her SSN the first week of April and I tried to E-file....the returns were rejected due to her SSN not matching IRS records.

 

Curious how long it takes new SSNs to get in the system...

Applied on 4/29/2021, received the card on 05/04/2021 (4/29 issue date on card), then tried to efile and kept getting the same rejection as you. Finally called SSA to verify how they had her last name in the system and DOB and was told that SSA sends the IRS updated information every 10 days. I had been told by tax professionals to file by mail but decided to wait and this morning, 05/07/2021, I filed and both were accepted. So it took about 8 days from the date the card was issued to the IRS getting the information from SSA. 

 

If you have already waited 10 days and are still getting the error then call the SSA because chances are they have the last name differently. Sometimes for long names, the SSA cannot fit the whole thing.

Yeah...X-ray will clear it pretty fast as log as you get the appointment fast.
