Any April 2008 Filers?
- Thread starter Denmark
- Start date
According to my lawyer, in a straightforward no complications case, usually the interview letter and EAD coincide and sometimes, it so happens that you get the green card ahead of your EAD (which is of no use then). so i think EAD and then green card is the usual way but sometimes they might be too close.

TNGUY, my D.O is also memphis. lets compare timelines. see mine below.
I'm watching your progress alright! You're a month ahead of me. It will be interesting to compare the progress.
Thank you!!!
I will.
None of us here in Sea have IL yet: I wonder if we'll be on the same "batch."

Ugh... bad news!
I got an email from USCIS and I guessed it was my EAD ordered notice because some of you with similar timelines have received yours this week... instead, it's an RFE notice and they've suspended my I-485 until I give them the extra evidence (I don't actually know what they need - I guess I'll get the letter in the mail this week with the details.)
I am feeling so disheartened. It's been 60 days since I filed my I-485 and I thought I was past the point where you'd normally get an RFE... I have no idea what could be missing from my application, we were thorough to the point of overkill!
Blah. I am desperately homesick and miserable not working... if one more person tells me "oh, you must feel so lucky, you married an American and you can get your citizenship" I think I'll go postal! I'd much rather live in Australia, but my husband has a job here he loves and we bought a house just before the crash so he doesn't want to leave anytime soon. I was coping ok thinking I could visit home soon but now I just feel deflated... I feel so claustrophic here. I grew up traveling constantly and I'm not used to being stuck in one place.
I'm 100% legal and our marriage is as real as it comes so this is just frustrating - I know there's not a real problem with my case, whatever is holding us up has to be something trivial and stupid! I guess I'll find out soon enough...
I know it's probably wishful thinking, but the notice just said they'd suspended my I-485.... does that mean my EAD and advanced parole applications might still be ticking along, or do they get canned too?
Wishing you all better luck... my gorgeous husband knows I'm miserable so he's cooking me dinner tonight, better go check on him before he burns the kitchen down

Aw I'm sorry to hear your recieving an RFE captainkit, as you said im sure its trivial and silly, and you'll be back on track in no time.. we have similar time lines, im still waiting to hear something..
I know what you mean about being homesick, and feeling miserable cos you cant work.. im in the same boat, but my daughter helps me keep my mind off it. If its an RFE for your I-485 im pretty sure that your EAD and AP will be delayed.. atleast thats what ive read in other threads. Keep us posted on how it goes.. oh and by the way hope your hubby didnt burn down the kitchen..

Hey captainkit,
Just letting you know there is another Aussie in waiting here too. I got married to my wonderful American husband on March 1st... and am sitting around waiting too. I threw my back out bad and couldn't make it to my first biometrics appt in April, so had to reschedule for May. Then I wasn't aware I could apply for a I-765, so got the fingerprint for it done in earlier this month. Also had an RFE too. I feel so set back and frustrated. Especially when people keep asking me where I am working, of if I am bored yet. Good luck and hang in there!

Update
I recieved an RFE today, but thats Ok its something simple. The letter
states:
"In order to process your application further, the petitioner/sponsor
on form I-864EZ affidavit of support must submit all federal income
tax ducumentation submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year"
Well we had sumbitted photocopies of the 2 most recent tax years
W2 forms.. I did read in the instructions something about 1099
forms, but im not sure what they are, and my husband was clueless,
anyone know exactly what theyre asking me to send in??
Thanks guys, hopefully ill be back on track in no time!! =)

About the 1099
Yeah, I'm sure you'll be OK: it seems that they either misplaced your paper work, or you sent the info. for the 2006 fiscal year, and they need your 2007 tax info.
The 1099 form is used for contractors: if you do not work directly for a company, but do ocasional work for them that income would be declared in your 1099 form. If your husband is an employee you can disregard this, and just collect all the paperwork for 2007. When they ask you for your tax info. they need not only the W-2's but all the forms you send to pay your taxes (or get your refund) and send them overnight
Hope this helps. Good luck!

know which forms theyre exactly wanting, cos there is alot.
Unless they want me to photocopy the whole booklet.......
