So... I received 8 (that's right, EIGHT) emails in quick succession this afternoon, all within the space of two minutes, and all saying exactly the same thing -- that my EAD application had been approved. This is after the 3 identical emails that I received yesterday morning saying that my EAD...

Whew! It's over. It went relatively well, I think, though we haven't been given final approval. I was hoping to be approved right away, though that was not to be, alas! All said, the whole thing didn't take too much time. Our interview was scheduled for 1:45; we got there at 1:15 and were...

Finally, today, after not being updated since the day after my FP/Bio, my I-485 and I-130 were updated. (No emails, though.) My I-765, however, was not updated; the last update was just after FP/Bio on 9/20. Does this mean anything? I've heard that updates after a long hiatus might mean an...

My husband and I are both students and so not making much of an income. However, we do have assets (more than the required amount) and this is what we used for the I-864 that we submitted along with our application. We didn't receive an RFE, which suggests that our documents are likely okay...

Hi folks, I've been applying for jobs all over the place in the hope that I can start working soon after I get my EAD or GC. Not a peep from the EAD side, but our GC interview is on November 20. I already verified at Infopass that my FBI namecheck has cleared. So, if everything goes well...

Hi everyone-- My Indian birth certificate doesn't have my name on it. It has my parents' names (my mom's name is slightly misspelled), my dad's occupation (but not my mom's), the date, time and location of my birth, the fact that I am a female etc., but in the place where my name should be...

My USC husband was married before to a fellow USC. On his divorce certificate (from CA) his name is slightly mispelled -- an 'e' instead of an 'i' in one syllable of the first name. His name is handwritten on the document, and the misspelling is not very obvious. In fact, he didn't realize...

Today we received a notice to appear for the interview in SF on November 20. I was sure we would get an RFE for something or other, but instead we get this. Totally unexpected! For those who are into following these things (I know I was for sure), we received the notice on the 38th day...

iEAD help needed Hi everyone, I'm pending AOS (timeline in signature) and it turns out there's a terrific job in my field that was just advertised. No start-date is mentioned for the job and I'm hoping I'll be eligible to work before they need to hire someone. I should be eligible for an...

We fedexed applications for my AOS (I-485, I-130, I-864) and EAD (I-765) to the Chicago lockbox on August 26. (Actually, we sent it to the street address that they give for non-USPS deliveries.) The Fedex online system shows delivery and signature on Monday, August 28, which was 9 days ago, and...

Hi, I've seen quite a few mentions here that people have received emails from the USCIS with updates and so on. My husband and I just mailed my 485 package and I don't recall any of the forms where they ask you for your email. (Did I miss something?) How do you guys get them to email you...

Hi everyone, I'm currently on F1 and am applying to adjust status based on marriage to a US citizen. My F1 status expires August 31st and I was hoping to express-mail everything to the Chicago lockbox tomorrow (8/24) so that I wouldn't be out of status. I find out now that my I-693, which...

I'm applying in the next week or two to adjust status based on marriage to a USC. My current status as an F1 student will expire at the end of August and I hope to have applied for AOS by then. Now, my CA drivers license, since it is based on my F1 status, also expires on 8/31. I have...

I just received my birth certificate from my parents in India and discovered that there is no name on it. The document is called an "Extract from the Birth Register kept by the Division Registrar of Births and Deaths" and appears to have been issued by the Health Department of the Corporation...

Hi again everyone, Here's my question for the day. My CA drivers license expires on 8/31/06. (This is also when my F1 status expires, and that's why the drivers license also expires on that day.) I will have applied to adjust status (based on marriage to a USC) around mid-August. Does...

If you get an RFE after submitting your application, are you considered to have "filed" for adjustment of status, or are you considered to have filed only after you submit and they accept the further evidence required? The reason I'm asking is that my current status (F1) expires as of 8/31/06...

Thanks, everyone, for your help on earlier questions. Here I am with another one. I'm applying to adjust status based on marriage to a US citizen, and am finally taking stock of the documents that need to be submitted. People on this forum often talk about documents proving marriage --...

My husband, who is the USC who is sponsoring me, is a student. For 2005, our joint income exceeded the $16500 cap required by the USCIS. But that won't be the case for 2006. All we will be able to show is the $6500 in grant money that my husband receives and the $8500 I've made so far. (I...

Hi, I keep hearing about applications getting stuck in "name check." What is this, and whom does it affect? I guess the reason I'm asking is that I plan to apply for a GC based on marriage to a USC in July, and am considering changing my last name before I do that. However, I won't be...

My boyfriend is a USC and I am on F1. We plan to get married soon and file to adjust my status. We were looking at the requirements for the affidavit of support, I-864, and it states that the USC petitioner must be employed and that the household income should be greater than 125% of the...
