So here is an update -
I had some kind of brainstorm last night so I called USCIS customer service today - First I must say this guy was really polite and helpful.
I told him its been 70 days since I filed, and I would like to make a request to expedite my case based on financial difficulties. We actually bought a house this year and with only my husband working plus three kids bills, mortgage, high property taxes our financial situation has changed since I filed and i really needed to go out to work so I can assist my family.
He said he totally respects that decision and would put in a service request for biometrics for Employment Authorization so I can get out to work ASAP.
He further went to say there is a huge backlog because of the temporary protected asylum being offered to Haitian immigrants due to the earthquake its a first come first served process so I will just have to really wait.
Just wanted to give you guys an update. Also congrats Citi I meant to extend my wishes to you and your wife before. Hope my comes soon and to all others who are waiting.
very helpful man
nobody answered me so I repost...
yesterday I asked my lawyer about all those things... to speed up the process, with the work proposal and all that stuff, he told me just "No, there's nothing we can do to speed up the EAD process." and if I talk about the 90-day mark... he just doesn't answer me :O...
I don't know... because I am not a lawyer, but to do all of the above (since I filed with my lawyer)... do I need him? or I can take my own infopasses?
thank you
thank you... I hate to sit and wait... :|
let me go and check my mail box...
My wife received her interview letter on 09/29/10 (Issued on 09/27/10). The interview will be held on 11/04/10. We sent all of I-130, I-485, I-131, and I-765 on 08/25/10. She is still waiting for EAD and AP. By the way, USCIS site has never sent us any e-mail or text message. I am not sure whether it functions or not... It is totally useless for us.
Today we got a very nice surprise: our Interview Letters! The appointment is for 11/17/2010 in the Tampa DO.
OK - AP in hand, hopefully get EAD this week, and interview this coming Thursday. Time to start printing pictures... TraderEC - congrats on the Interview Letter.
10/21/2010 => Day 70 => AOS Interview
