Guys,
A little advice needed. My wife and I had our AOS interview in Boston
today. I did not get the I-551 stamp as they did not have our
"original file". It seems Vermont still has it as I came to the US
via a K-1. The officer said they had requested it a month before but
it is yet to appear. He said they have requested it a second time but
it may take up to 90 days. He said, once he reviews that "original
file", he will send us a decision in writing.
Now the problem starts. Come August 4th I start a new job in Chicago.
Had I gotten the stamp it would not have been an issue since the
actual card would have probably been forwarded to our new address.

What should I do now? My AP is expiring in 15 days and I surely
intend to get it renewed before I leave. My EAD expires mid-Jan 2004.
Should I get that renewed too? I know by law I will have to send an
AR-11 to Kentucky within 10 days of moving. Should I ask Boston to
send my file to Chicago? Or should I hope that in 90 days I will get
an approval letter from Boston? Even if that letter makes it to my new
address in Chicago, will the Chicago office give me an I-551 stamp?

Any advice/suggestions would be welcome.
Regards,
S K Ghori.

They should be sending a copy of the approval letter to your attorney. Your attorney should also be able to help you ride shotgun over this problem.

Good luck.

Mr. Udall,
We have no attorney.

Mr. Folinskyinla,
Could you please clarify? I will be sending an AR-11 to Kentucy
ofcourse. However what should I do with the offices on Boston and
Chicago? Ask one to send the file and the other to request it via
separate letters, or hope the AR-11 to Kentucky will take care of it?

I wouldn't count on that happening. While it’s not a District office, the last time I was touring the CSC (or was it the time before last) I specifically asked if they ever receive anything from the folks in London, KY as far as change of address AR-11's sent to London, KY. The answer was, "no", that the AR-11 has nothing to do with the CSC and there is no communication between the group in London, KY and the CSC in regard to the AR-11 and the address change.

I assume the same would hold true for the district and suboffices (but of course, I could be wrong about that).
