We received the interview letter before the bio. Not sure when but two weeks before I would think.

End of a journey begining of a new one Everyone, we received our GC today. I feel very good. Thanks for everyone for their precious help! I still can't believe we won! I will try to post a long article on the web somewhere detailing the process we went through when I have a bit of time!

Interesting I ask the officer at my local USCIS during my interview if I needed to file the AR-11 form after receiving the green card and she said no. She said that I should only file it when I was in contact with the USCIS and was expecting mail. As for the SSN and the DL I will have to do...

So I check the USCIS website again and I am at the acceptance stage. They sent the welcome letter but since I am relocating to California the letter might be waiting for me there. They mentioned on the website that it might include some instruction that I need to follow. Any idea what those...

So there are cases when they accept an I-485 even when your number is not current (at least that happened in the past). So then they need to check that your visa number is current at the end of the process. In my case I don't think this is an issue. If you did not get an interview after 30...

Interview done! So we had our interview this morning in Durham, NC. I was funny because I think interview are very rare now that the security was not sure what to do. They sent us up to wait in a big and empty waiting room. Someone came and picked our interview letter. We waited 30 minutes...

EAD card received Good news for me, Me and my wife received our EAD card yesterday. For us the production was started the day after the biometrics appointment. We did not apply for advance parole which might have been a mistake. The future will tell. We are now getting ready to interview on...

EAD Card/ Document Production I did my biometrics yesterday and today the uscis website was finally updated. The EAD card is being produced. Anyone has any experienced on the time to get it? I am wondering because I want to start a new job but I want to be sure that my visa status stay...

Things are finally So the DL is valid for 6 month. It will expire when my current J-1 extension expire... The good news of the day is that I received my IL. I am still surprise to not have gotten any appointment for the finger print though. Does anyone as any clue when I should...

Thanks for all the reply. I received my driver license today. So I will wait for the EAD card. I am still surprised it did not come yet. If I do not get anything in 10 days I will call back. Like everyone else here I am crossing my fingers while waiting.

Thanks for the quick answer. My current worry is what to do if I don't get my EAD card in the next 2 weeks. How should I play it? Should I get a lawyer to coach me on what to ask to understand why after 6 weeks nothing append? One of the additional problem is that my driver license was up...

@strictly_analog When did you finally get you EAD card? I am still in limbo here... I called the USCIS because I am still waiting for my fingerprinting appointment and my EAD card. They seems to say that it was weird I did not get my fingerprint interview already... So they are filling a...

Question about early work authorization Hi, I received 4 E-notification of processing on the 9th one saying that they cashed the checks (which they did) and that we should received a notification for the fingerprint. Another for inform me that they are processing my I-765 (work...

Like Strictly_Analog I have been rejected because I submitted prior to being current but within the 75 days. Did anyone try to re-submit within the 75 days? I am considering hiring a lawyer to help me on this. Any advise? Cheers

Thanks this is very useful. Your document states: I cannot get access to the reference and could not find an official document explaining policy. I am going through 22 CFR 42 now.

Reject application because number is not current Hi, My number will be current in February. It already appears in the bulletin. We submitted our I-485 at Xmas. But it was rejected because our number is not current. They sent back everything (including the checks). They read the documents...

What is the link you use to check the 2nd NL? Is it the same as the 1st NL (i.e. dvlottery. state. gov / ESC ) and you used your Confirmation Number for it? Cheers, Koubiak

@waterfall123: Thanks for the info this will be very useful to me. Do you know how it work for you? You wait until the 1st of October to send the I-485 in?

Thanks Strictly_Analog and EternalHope Your help was very useful. I call both the KCC and the USCIS this morning. They confirmed more or less what you said. But I don't need the DS-230, as this form is only used by embassy and consulate so no need for it. I still need the pictures (me...

Hi, I realized that I was selected two days ago. I am currently overwhelmed. I have read a lot in the last 48 hours on this website and the different government website. I think that I have a rough understanding of the process but since some information are contradictory I have still some...
