Pat's or Geno's. Which one is a topic of considerable debate amongst most Philadelphians, but these are the two most famous ones. They are also across the street from each other.

I work 5 minutes away walking from Fed Plaza. My wife goes to school basically across the street. And we live in Soho, 10/15 minutes walking away.
It would have been a nice lunch break.... Garden City instead....I will have to take the day off (interview is at 1:00), drive to freaking Long Island on the LIE and after all of this, probably have to go shopping with my wife to Roosevelt Field!!!!! :eek:
 
Congrats on that!

Yeah...it's a bit funny how everythine something gets approved you get 3 identical emails. We got 3 emails each for our EAD, AP & I-130.
 
Just like buses eh?

BTW - I'm not 100% sure, but my wife tells me my EAD is waiting for me at home right now. :)

EDIT: EAD in hand. Wooooooooooo........

And to make the day complete she passed her California Drivers liscense Exam :cool:

Now all we have left is the interview.
 
Just received 3 EAD Approval emails today stating that our card will be mailed. I hope FBI name check clears in the next 2 weeks like what IO said..

They received my RFE on 9/11 and then I had a LUD on the 12th and then today, the 14th. Still don't have any LUDs on my other apps, though, not since 08/19. Is there any kind of system to this or is it just sort of random?
 
Since getting my EAD card, I've got 2 LUDs. One with an email saying "This case has been approved" (duh, I figured that out when you sent me the card), and another one today with no reasons.

After no LUDs for ages, I suddenly feel awash with them.

EDIT: I should say, the LUDs were on the EAD.

Great, thanks.

By the way, I used my AP yesterday at the MSP POE. I was traveling alone, so I went to the visitors line and was told to go to the new immigrants line. The CBP officer asked my how long I'd been out of the country (6 days), if I had a pending AOS (yes) and then she stamped the I-512, my passport and my I-94 with a parole stamp (not an admission stamp) and my customs form with an admission stamp. No further questions, no secondary screening, all very nice and professional.
 
I got LUDs on I-130 and I-485 dated 10/3....
My interview is on 10/24 and I've been told in August that namecheck was cleared.
Maybe they're just checking...who knows! Status obviously did not change.
 
i just got lud's too (on the 3rd) on my I-485 and I-130. my last lud for both of them was june 26!! (a loooong time ago). i don't know anything abt my namecheck. don't know what its all abt.
 
Visa presently holding and applying for..?

Hey Everybody,

Just had a question. I'm applying for permanent residency based on marriage and just recently re-entered the US with an Advance Parole document. My interview is not until the end of November, so I won't be getting anything approved until atleast then. So, as of now, what visa do I presently hold and which visa am I applying for?

It's just a couple questions on some paperwork I'm filling out to apply for University :)

Thanks!

You do not currently hold a visa. You have been admitted to the US as an applicant for adjustment and your current status is "paroled into the US pending adjustment of status to permanent resident" or just "paroled." If you look at your I-94 card, it will have a red parole stamp on it, not the normal red and blue admission stamp.

You are applying for permanent residence. Since it's through adjustment of status, and not consular processing, there is no visa stamp in your passport involved. The green card is an immigrant visa.

People often get confused between visas and status. You can be in the US without a valid visa, but you (generally) can't be in the US legally without status. I say generally because there are grey areas that fall under the "period of stay authorized by the attorney general" rule. Typically this is when a USCIS application was filed while you were in status, but that status has now expired due to the length of time the USCIS took to process the application.

The date of expiration of status is given by the date written on the I-94 card by the CPB officer who admitted you.
