Finally. Done. Finito. The card finally came in the mail and I am happy as a clam. Clams are really happy, I understand.....
Thanks again one and all for the help on this board. I will check in from time to time, but I am not an expert so my opinions are not as useful as some others...
Jeez
Why are people so horrible? I mean really - there are plenty of scumbags willing to marry to get someone into the country. Why do they have to take a nice person and ruin their life like this?
I say divorce the evil doer. Let her fend for herself with her green card. I'm sure when she...
I got a duplicate notice?
I got the following notice yesterday:
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On April 4, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO...
My timeline
See timeline below
Welcome notice sent 03/27/07, received 03/31/07
Card production ordered 03/30/07. Received very soon, I anticipate......
We brought every piece of ID we had - social security cards, DLs, passports....
Maybe it goes without saying but you should bring a good copy of EVERYTHING that you bring with you. In my case they actually wanted all of them and I am so glad that I made all those copies.
My wife actually...
No this was the first
No they did not seperate us. I doubted they would. Our marriage is nearly 8 years old, and we were married living together in Canada for 3 years before coming to the US. I think unless they turned up something rotten in my background check, there was no reason to deny...
Good luck
When they asked if I was a communist, I thought about saying "no, comrade", but decided against it. I guess I looked too young to get asked if I was an escaped Nazi war criminal.
Hopefully you get a friendly officer.....
"wait at least 2 months for EAD"???
Mine was approved in Jan and the card arrived in less than a week.
I suggest you get on them about this. >2 months is ridiculous. It's either fallen through the cracks or mailed to the wrong address or something.
Appt was for 11:30 am. My wife and I got there early - 10:45. No traffic I guess! Anyways we had an enormous mound of evidence which my wife thought I was NUTS to accumulate ("they're not going to want copies of all that stuff!").
My wife's TINY bracelet caused a ruckus with the metal...
My wife and I are accumulating all our stuff for Monday, including copies of everything which we can leave with them if they want them.
If I don't report how it went next week, it means I've been deported! I am pretty confident, though.
Can't wait to report success! Later!
Got It
Got the EAD on Saturday, Jan 20. Oddly enough, the card is dated 01/11, which is the day I went down to the DO here in Norfolk and begged for them to approve it. I've never seen a piece of ID that looks anything like this card. Weird.
In any case, that's over and done with. Whew...
Not in Norfolk
When I went for my fingerprinting there was someone who was trying to do a walk in ahead of their appointment. She got a lecture from the guard and they took a copy of her appointment letter and sent her away. She looked really upset and obviously wished she hadn't tried. I...
A slew of EAD approvals
It seems that a whole mess of people had their EADs approved this week. Maybe it is the employees coming back from holidays/vacations etc. Or the AP processing takes priority near Christmas maybe.
Whatever. I just want the stinkin' card. I hope "card ordered"...
Got the emails - Question for the experts too
I got three emails just now saying my EAD card has been ordered! Whew. I know the email says 30 days but from what I see it is usually cranked out in a day or two and then mailed.
Here is the question: am I now authorized to work even though...
I hope I get the same good news as you
From what I have seen on here, in the past once people get the "card ordered" email they usually have the card in their hands within a week.
What the heck are all these LUDs? The EAD application is simple what are they doing every time they pick it up...
