Legal Alien

I know I could have. But I wasn't in a hurry so I requested it with my AOS.

Sounds like we'll just get someone to handle this for us!

I requested an SSN through my I-485 and have not received my SSN yet either.

Oh following! I had the exact same question, only difference is I do not have my Green Card yet.

I had no idea the files of 6/28 to 7/11 were skipped. I will keep an eye on that thread as well although I noticed that's mainly I-129F petitions an not so much AOS it seems, unless I missed those. So your info is helpful, thanks.

Oh I am sorry, maybe I have presented myself as a low IQ individual, let me further explain myself. Just because I do not have nearly 5K posts on here or have immigrated to the US before and am not 100% in the loop of everything, doesn't mean I am dumb. If you tell me to check your link, I ASSURE you I checked your link. That link, if I put in 'I-485', 'Family-Based' and 'Detroit', gives me a big block on the screen that says 80% completed within 11.5 months. I don't even know where to check estimates in 'my account', I don't have estimates in my account. Please next time you might tone it down a little bit on the 'I know better just because I have 5K posts so I can therefore ASSUME you are looking on the wrong page and not just roll my eyes but roll my whole head' attitude. You provided me with 1 link. I checked that link and nowhere do I even see the 16 months you mention on there. So either you gave me a wrong link, or you are simply mistaken and not me. It is really a shame that long time members with a high post count often have the attitude that people with a low post count automatically have a low IQ. Not inviting for new members to join and post.

Nah, still says 11.5 months for me.

Not a clue where to even find any of that. 11.5 months. I do believe I said I am not in a hurry, so certainly not impatient. I know what the normal timeline is but when you see people getting approved in 2-3 months at LFO's that usually have a longer waiting time, and you don't get any updates and don't know how it all works exactly because it's not something you usually do more than once in your life, you just want to make sure you haven't missed an RFE. Hence my question if you should see that in your case update just so I know that it should be there. I realize it's not perfect but if it is not updated in my case as is usual AND I have not received anything then I should be safe to assume that I have not (yet) received an RFE. Thank you.

I filed AOS on July 5th. I have not checked the forum in a while due to circumstances and I was just told about this. I can't believe my luck! I am already here so it's not a big deal but I would have liked some movement right now so I can book a flight and go visit my parents. I did not file for advanced parole because the green cards were going so quick when I checked. Well that is what you get for being a cheapskate I guess!

OMG just my luck! I filed on the fifth.

Not sure where to post this, feel free to move. I filed for AOS on July 5th, 2024. Had fingerprints taken in September and nothing since. I am not in a terrible hurry, but I am seeing quite a lot approvals for July filers and later and I am worried I might have received an RFE or something that never arrived. Should I see the RFE in my case updates in my USCIS account? So far it just says case received for my vaccine waiver and fingerprints taken for my I-485. I do realize that filing a waiver might delay the case, just making sure here I am not missing an RFE.

It's taking quite a while now to get any update. Does anyone know if you see it in your USCIS account if you were sent an RFE? I am starting to get nervous, afraid I never received an RFE or something. Anyone else still waiting here?

I am baffled about so many of these immigration lawyers. I read so many bad experiences, which is why I went for DIY (plus I am a total cheapskate and my vaccine waiver already cost me a kidney). But how is it possible they get away with all that stuff? But I also don't understand why people don't check the form before the lawyer sends it in. Do they just tell you what to give them and that they will file for you? Maybe I am a control freak but I wouldn't trust handing over total control of that.

Since Trump has now specified the 'birthright' issue, I have a stinking feeling that he will also specify 'Specialty occupation' for H1B visa's, definitely after the scrutiny it is getting now. And he should. With all due respect, what makes you so special that a business should hire you over an American Citizen? Besides that, I agree that finding an employer to petition you is likely highly implausible.

There is likely a whole lot more people like you who will now come forward saying this. They should have NEVER included an experimental vaccine in the list and force people to take it (or any other, but that is just my opinion).

I feel bad for people who were up to date on their vaccinations and had to take the covid vaccine + 2 boosters against their will. The waiver should not be just for all vaccines like with religious waivers or moral waivers, it should also be available for specific vaccines that have not been tested and have been proven by now to be bad for your health. Actually, I believe no vaccines should be mandatory for anyone, including immigrants. You get a medical to see if you're healthy and that should be enough. Vaccines are a personal choice. But good step in the right way for sure! Already becoming great again.

I promise I DID look, apparently I need glasses or more patience. Feel free to delete.

Good news! Covid-19 vaccine waived for I-485 filers. https://www.visalawyerblog.com/breaking-news-u-s-citizenship-and-immigration-services-uscis-waives-the-covid-19-vaccination-requirement-for-adjustment-of-status-green-card-applicants/

I haven't received my social security card yet either. No movement at all here, unfortunately!

Nope, nothing here 😕

You will get all the information you need from your consulate by email. At least, I did. I will attach the files they sent me. This is of course for the Amsterdam Consulate, but I am going to assume yours will not differ as much. I received this even before my NOA, even though the NOA said I'd receive it about 30 days AFTER. Hope it helps. k1 Pre Appointment Checklist 2019.pdf Registration Instructions.pdf

True, I already heard a few dems who liked him, don't remember which ones. I think Pete will be confirmed as well.

You probably have to wait another 4 weeks until you finally get your NOA if I go with my own timeline. So nothing to worry about yet. Although I get it, I worried as well until I read most others were in the same boat.
