At last... AOS nearly there...

Well, after a wait of 3 years and 353 days, I was told this morning that my green card had been approved, and that I would get the card within 4-6 weeks. When I came home from work yesterday, there...

Re: USCIS Fee Schedule Effective: July 30, 2007

According to everyone including a good immigration lawyer, it won't make any difference in my situation since I don't meet any of the categories for "special treatment". It's "just" the FBI namecheck...

Re: USCIS Fee Schedule Effective: July 30, 2007

Ah, lovely. An 88% increase for my work permit, and a 79% increase for my advance parole. I've just applied for my fifth EAD and AP; they must love repeat business like mine. It's a great system...

Re: I-765 Change?

Well, I agree, it's just a question of persuading someone who can do something about to, well, do something about it!

Re: I-765 Change?

I called the helpline to ask them if they could clarify the problem for me, and they told me to send the application to the Service Center with jurisdiction in my area (i.e. they gave me advice...

Re: Why USCIS takes so long for FBI background check clearance?

I've been waiting for 3.5 years now, and I tend to agree, too: from what I can see, congressional reps aren't able to influence or expedite in any way (I can't say I've been convinced that such...

Re: I-765 Change?

That's what I thought, too, until I read through the entire revised filing instructions. It may be time for an Infopass appointment to clarify!

Re: I-765 Change?

I filed my AOS in August 2003: I'm still waiting either for the name check or for them to associate the results thereof with my file. At that time, it was normal procedure to file in the local office...

I-765 Change?

It's time for me to apply for yet another EAD and file yet another I-765 as I wait for my AOS. I downloaded the the new version of the form, changed just three weeks ago (8 February 2007) and to my...

Re: AOS/Name-check delays

Well, that sounds more promising all of a sudden. Of course, I don't really know where the check is stuck, so I don't know if it's a waste of money until after the fact...

Re: AOS/Name-check delays

I guess that reading it again could support that interpretation, but I'm not that confident.

We have tried many times to involve political reps. As far as I can tell, it has not been worth our...

Rene, that's what I would have thought in other circumstances, too, but I had a full 10-print, photo and signature session about six weeks ago. Plus, on neither of the two previous occasions did they...

Receipt number confusion - AOS

I've been waiting for AOS for more than three years, with most of the delay apparently due to the FBI checks (or getting the results thereof associated with my file...).

EAD renewed for less than one year

I just received my new EAD (my fourth: I filed for AOS in August 2003 and I am still waiting for a passport stamp), and instead of the usual 12 months, it was renewed for just 10. Has anyone else...

EAD Renewals - NOA Wait Time?

I sent my EAD renewal (the second renewal) via the Chicago lockbox almost 4 weeks ago (May 13) and have not received the NOA yet. Is this wait typical at present, or are folks receiving NOA letters...

Re: Help AOS problems before receiving green card in mail

I don't have any idea if they formally 'allow' their mail to be forwarded, but it happens: my last EAD was forwarded to our new address even though it was sent to the old one. Incidentally, it was...
