hey everyone I've been following this thread for awhile 😊 I just started polling May cases this weekend (I'm a May 2022 filer) and today I saw 4 approvals and 2 RFEs in the 2290077600-2290077800 range! I hope this indicates the start of May processing! I'm pretty sure they weren't expedited too. 😀 Honestly I'm a bit unsure if I'm doing this correctly lol so I'd appreciate if there's anyone else doing polling out there to verify.. or I'll just wait to see Obllaks update  😋

Looks like you're right! May has officially started, Obllaks sheet has May changes ❤️

Makes me wonder how 8-10% of filers manage to get rejected immediately, it seems like the only ways to do so are to not pay the correct fee or to not sign the form..

There are "rejections" and "denials". Rejections happen immediately if the form is not correctly filed (missing signature, incorrect form type etc.), while denials happen later, if USCIS decide that applicant is not eligible to receive visa.

For all intensive purposes, I need you all to pinky promise me this thread will remain active until at LEAST mid-late 2024 because we are all basically cousins now and you all help keep me sane during this crazy process 🤪😌

Assuming mods allow us, yes. Sure we'll all be languishing in AOS limbo if not still awaiting K1

I do not care about AOS at all, that process could take 27 years and I wouldn't bat an eye lol

With the type of questions I see asked on the facebook page I am not surprised at the least bit.

Just did some napkin math and by mid August, USCIS should be starting my month's NOA1 dates.

You can't drive before AoS? Is that a Kansas thing? Sounds insanely frustrating.

It varies by state, a majority don't allow you to have a drivers workout documents showing your legally there. You can drive on your i-94 for k1 but that expires in 90 days and after that you have nothing showing legal status until EAD/GC.

 

Driving on a foreign licence is usually for tourists/non-residents. It's very easy to become considered a resident and you basically can't avoid it if you're trying to obtain proof of life together for AOS (eg shared bank, bills, rent etc). So between k1 and aos I can't drive on a foreign licence but also can't obtain an American license. Some states have removed proof of legal status to get a license but its 50% or less I think so chances are most of yalls states have same restrictions.

Gotcha, that's crazy! How do they expect you to start working when you get EAD if you have no license? It's not like the US is famed for its public transit..

I'm guessing I never heard about this because my state is one of the 17 that allows people to get a license without documents.
