Got 70 day letter.........grrrrrrr

[susan+mike 0]

Is there anyone out there going through DORA that was also told to apply for EAP and AP by mail? I was under the understanding they would give you these immediately once you apply if they can't get your Green Card to you within the 90 day timeframe. Is this correct..... anyone else apply by mail?

This hasn't been a good day.........below is what I posted earlier here on VJ.

Well yesterday June 19th was Day 90 for my AOS application through DORA in Oklahoma City and I haven't heard a word, no "70 day letter", no touches, nothing since Day 40. So without telling me, my hubby yesterday called the Senator's office to see if they could do anything. He wasn't going to tell me about it but he had to leave a message and a lady called him back today here at home needing my A # and my reciept # so he had to come clean......bless his heart!

The big thing for me is I want to get my AED and AP if they aren't going to get my GC to me soon. She said they used to get replies back within a week and now sometimes they don't hear anything either for a month. I'm also going to make an infopass appt. for the 1st week in July, can't get there any sooner so I'll just have to wait. If I should get my GC before then I can cancel the appt. Let's see if the Senator's office gets us anywhere.

Ten minutes after I posted my message above I went and checked my mail and guess what I got....... the "70 day letter".......grrrrrrrrr. So I guess the call to the Senator's office won't be of much use now.......and to top if off, they told me to mail in my application for my AED and AP to the Chicago lockbox, not to go back to the office in Oklahoma City to file it. So now I'm wondering.... am I going to have to wait another 2 to 3 months to get my AED and AP when I have already waited over 90 days. I thought when it was through the DORA program once they sent you the 70 day letter that they approve your AED and AP as soon as you apply for them and that you would have your cards for them in approximately a week to ten days as they won't let you apply for them in the beginning when you apply for your AOS.

I'm so ticked right now ....... I'm really tired of having no life, not being able to do anything, blah, blah, blah.... I'm sure there are others that feel the same.......now am I looking at waiting another couple months before I can get on with my life and work and travel! I just had to vent as I don't know anyone in my city of 350,000 people that I can pick up the phone and talk to.

Hi Susan,

I understand you perfectly, because I am in your same situation since I entered the US.

It's incredible that you receive your 70 days letter in day 91...this is so slow...but it helps me, because

now I know that still I can receive mine, and I am in day 83!!!!!

I read that you say about the senator and everything, but I dont think that u have to wait 3 more months for the EAD.

According with what I read they should give an appointment and the you will fingerprinted, and in one week you will have your EAD.

I think that we are in the exactly same case.

Normally with the DORA from what I've read is in the 70 day letter they give you an appt to go to the office to file but they just told me to mail it in to the Chicago lockbox like everyone else does. I amde an infopass appt for June 29th to find out how long this will take. I hoping maybe there is someone out there that will respond that has been in the same situation. Maybe you will be the lucky one and your Green Card will just show up in the mail one day soon!
