Any May filers around?

Well, I can not drive :p no DL, so I guess it will be me and my wifey ;)

do you have a valid driver's license from your country coz if you have one and you r in status it is valid until u can change it 2 a state license.

I know this coz I'm using mine. I was stoppped by a police officer, I showed him my driver's license (from my country) and EAD. He asked me why I don't have a state license and I told him I'm waiting for my SSN (btw he was just making sure that I am not drunk while driving). He gave me back my license and my EAD and told me to drive safely. Just in case u r wondering I have car insurance as unrated driver w/ my wife
 
interesting, but i think law for that is different here in AL. I do have a valid DL for my country that expires in 2014. Supposedly is valid for 3 months of entry into the US, but not after that? :p

Anyways, I hope I hear something from USCIS before friday, but if not... I will prepare my best tactics ;) or something :p

Key word is supposedly but as long as you have a valid license, u r in status and have insurance u can drive legally.
 
I'm joining the "Multiple emails/LUDs on EAD:card production ordered" club :rolleyes:
Just checked my mail and online status. Received an email with Card production ordered on Aug 13. Same LUD on their website :confused: All I need is my card!

I haven't received any new LUDs since the 9th, no "approval notice sent" and no EAD in the mail...
 
Awesome! :) Congratulations! Nice way to start the after-work hours,eh? So did you receive any emails from USCIS after the first email that said," card production ordered"? I didn't see the "approval notice sent" email LUD in your signature, that's why I'm asking.

Even i didn't get any "approval notice".....just the card ordered mail and and the card in the mailbox one fine day!
 
We had our interview in Indy today and were approved!!!

We arrived at 12;15 for our 12:30 interview. Parking was right out front and was $5. We went up to the 4th floor and gave the lady at the window our appointment letter. She told us to sit and wait. We waited until 12:35 and then we were called in. The officer was officer Bonk and she brought us back to her office. She swore us in and then we sat down. She took our IDs and my passport.
Then she asked me a whole load of basic questions such as my full name, address, dob, ssn then a whole load of the "no" questions. She asked me had I ever been on A J1. I said I had and she looked kind of shocked but I said I wasn't subject to the 2 year rule and I showed her the visa in my passport. She told me I was on the ball!!!!
After that she asked my husband basic questions. Like a typical man he got our wedding anniversary wrong but she just laughed!!! Then she asked us did we have children together. We told her 2 and that I had their birth certificates. She asked us where we got married!!!
Then she asked to see the birth certificates and any documents we wanted to give her. I gave her all our stuff, the 2 birth certificates, car insurance cards and bill, joint bank account statements, car title and registration and health insurance cards. She just looked at the big pile I handed her and looked immediately back at me and asked did I have copies without even looking at anything. She took the copies and filed them.
She then told us that we were the first people she was approving today and that that was really straight forward. She said I would get a 10 year green card because we had been married for over 2 years and that I could apply for citizenship in 3 years. I should have my card in a month!!!
She said congratulations and then she joked "I hope you aren't committing marriage fraud". I joked back and said that I doubt it with 2 kids aged 2 and under!!!
She walked us out of the office and said she wished all cases were as straightforward as ours and that everyone was as organized but when its easy, its easy!!!! We were back at our car at 12:55.
Thanks to everyone for all the advice on here.

Hmmm... I just hope we get ours real soon with or without the approval notice sent email since we all have gotten our cards production ordered.

MagdaJ, let's just wait a few more days.
I was reading previous postings and found out that alsteg, IrishDMF, another May filer, you and I received the duplicate card production ordered emails.

Also, several other filers in visajourney also got the same thing. alsteg and IrishDMF already gotten their card and simsim who didn't receive the approval sent email/LUD has received his card as well.

USCIS :rolleyes:
