PokuPoku

Still no EAD. Tomorrow will be 3 months, so I guess I'll file an inquiry tomorrow. I wasn't prepared to go over 7 months without dual income.

We never received anything. After we got married, we went to the SSN office and they told us they had no record and we can't apply again until she gets a work authorization.

😔 Well, green card application status has been "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview" since May 28th. Employment authorization status has been "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken" since May 21st. Was hoping I could find more info somewhere. Thought we'd get something in the mail by now.

nope, starts with MSC. I googled it and IOE stands for Online Filing System (e-filing). We filed by paper. Could we have filed online? I didn't see anything about that.

Either I didn't get it or I accidentally threw it away since I can't find it. For the link, it says this Their number starts with MSC

no. I vaguely remember something about an online access code, but I can't find any papers with any mention of that. When would I have received that?

Can you post a screenshot? Maybe we're on the wrong page or something. Either way, we haven't heard anything yet with interview date or employment authorization.

I don't see a documents section

We got the update that says they are ready to schedule her interview, and they will send a notice, but its been 9 days since then and nothing in the mail. How long did you wait or did you get your interview date online? We just made an account on USCIS but it didn't tell us anything more.

I used assets (cash in bank and stocks) as part of my our application and it went smoothly.

Update: looks like things are moving forward Strangely, the employment authorization application hasn't updated since biometrics were taken, so there is a chance she'll get her green card before the employment authorization? Hope the work authorization application wasn't a waste of money. For reference, for the RFE, I submitted page 5 of that form that was missing number, certified copies of the marriage certificate, visa, and passport copies, along with a letter explaining the situation and our signatures.

I included a copy of the i-129 approval letter, which includes the receipt number, so they do have it. I guess either way my best option is to just submit a bunch of stuff like the receipt number, copy of certificate and stuff like that, proving the marriage and our identities.

no, looks like we left that blank.

We got a letter yesterday giving us our date and time of our biometric appointment, which is in 2 weeks. yes

We used her maiden name on the marriage certificate and her new last name, my last name, on the i-485 form. We included her maiden name on the form under the "other names used" section. Thats all correct right? I followed closely what people on the forums and they guides said. I can't think of anything else that is wrong. I double checked all the dates on the forms and everything. We included a certified copy of the marriage certificate. We have extra copies we can send back. and if anyone asks, we waited to the last minute to get married since we waited to get her SSN first, but it never arrived, so we waited to the last minute to get married. Thought we needed to get the SSN number back first before getting married, but then I read that we didn't.

"Request for initial evidence" We got 2 of them since we have a k2 too. The k2 letter is asking for proof of marriage within 90 days of the k1 applicant.

I don't know what to do. We married on March 17th and had it recorded on March 18th. Here visa says its vaild until the 23rd. We just got a letter saying we did not marry within 90 days. Did we do something wrong? Did they do something wrong? I'm very worried. We submitted a copy of the married certificate with the i-485 form. Did they read the dates wrong?

Wait until you have the visa. It can sometimes take weeks to receive your visa after the interview. Plane ticket prices change regularly. Its entirely possible for plane tickets to actually come down in price by July.

How does worth authorization work into this? Can you legally work with work authorization while also being out of status? Does the work authorization help prove your status/authorized stay in any way?

My card was charged this morning

Thank you ❤️

My credit card still hasn't been charged. When should i start to get worried? I know they received the documents since it had tracking, but I've heard back nothing yet after ~2 weeks. My card doesn't have any declined charges or anything and never declined charges before

A large % of my yearly income is from capital gains, and there was no issues that came up with that.

hopefully a mod can change it. I've been following it a lot but luckily double checking everything.

The fee for I-485 applications includes the cost of the I-131 and I-765 (no need to pay for them if filed with or while your I-485 application is pending adjudication) Is this still accurate? Doesn't appear to be so "If you filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with a fee on or after April 1, 2024, and your Form I-485 is still pending. $260" https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator?form=i-765
