Hi Everyone
I've not posted for a while but thought I would post my updated timeline so other's waiting for AOS through Atlanta can compare with their timeline if they want to. I've just had my biometrics on the 24th January so we're back to waiting again!
I saw that Steffi got a RFE for not sending the US citizen's birth certificate though and we never sent Steve's so I'm expecting that same delay to come our way soon![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)

Sorry, this is a bit OT, but I just realized something...maybe my begging letter to the London embassy worked? Because I "begged" them to give me an interview date before my house lease would expire on August 31st (and I would be homeless), and I did. Compare my timeline to yours:
August 6, 2003: Packet 4, visa interview letter arrives
August 29, 2003: Visa interview & medical, visa approved
You received your interview letter before me, but it was set after mine. So like I said, my begging letter must have worked??

Steffi,
Just wanted to update you on my EAD application as we are in similar time frames. I sent back the RFE and the online status has changed to them saying they received the additional info on the 26th of january and processing has once again begun.
I did see that the local Phoenix EAD time frame has just changed to processing applications from November 1st onwards. So seeing that the online status claims initial processing was complete awaiting the RFE evidence, maybe I will see it soon?. Here's hoping.

Yeah I do believe the begging letter will have helped because London seem to try and be as accomdating as possible. At the time I thought it was first come first served so for interview date I wrote as soon as possible or something like that. If I'd written an actual date maybe I would have gotten it sooner?
I will keep you updated on the AOS/EAD stuff yes!

Just to let you guys know, I just checked my online status for the EAD and it says I was approved two days ago, on February 4th!
Now I just have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. Ack, does that mean I actually have to go out looking for a job now??? *L*
