Wow! I hope you fired their *** before they could say "paycheck"
Congratulations! You should receive NoAs for all three applications (AOS, EAD, and AP). But don't worry probably you'll get NoA for AOS in a couple of days. Good luck!
Hi guys,
Is it necessary to mail copies of form I-20 with the AOS package? I've had like 6 of these, each 4 pages and I'm thinking of not including it.
Thanks for your replies.
Parviz,
With a F-1 student visa, you can visit Canada and Mexico for a maximum 30 days without any problem whatsoever. I went and came back, no problem at all. If you need further details PM me and I will provide you info required.
Parviz,
Unfortunately this is not true for everybody. There are 5 countries that are exempt from this rule. If you are from one of them, then you can not visit Canada and Mexico without getting a new Visa if your Visa is expired.
Be careful about this.
Not everybody.
I am curious, if they reject an application will they send the acceptance message anyway? As I understood the procedure they first accept an application and after that look through it. This means that the acceptance message must be sent in any case. Correct me if I am wrong.
Another question. Did anyone have his or her package signed by S.Bush at the time of delivery? I have not seen this name before.
Hey guys, Tucany, parviz and Khayat, I never heard anything about this rule, I am from Moldova ( Europe, not part of the EU) and been living in the US since August 2006 and I have other friends on F1 visa, but never heard that we can travel to Canada and Mexico without getting a Visa, or maybe my country is one of the 5 countries that you guys mentioned that are exempt from this rule.
Hi guys...
Just got the 'application received' notification via text and email (phew..)
CN - 2011AS00006*** (current in Oct)
Oct-6th - Mailed I-485 packet to Chicago via UPS.
Oct-7th - Delivered (signed for by CHIBA).
Oct-18th - Email and text notification.
Waiting for I-797 in the mail and check to be cashed.
We need to have a party once this is all done...
This is an old rule and those 5 countries got exempt after 9 eleven and you are not one of them. For mexico and canada if you have a valid I-20 you'll have it signed by ISO and you can return without getting a new visa.
I just realized that I got 3 text msgs (and emails) with 3 different receipt numbers... Could this be for the I-485, I-765 and I-131... I'm a little confused. Did the others who applied for all 3 also get 3 receipt numbers?
Thanks! This forum is super helpful.

SSJ1, ye you get a separate receipt number for all your applications. I, myself only filed the I-485 and got only one receipt, but we applied for I-765 and I-131 for my husband and got the receipt number for those as well. If you try to check on the USCIS.gov website, it doe not work for few days after acceptance, it might take a few days for them to put the info in their system for it to be available for you to check the status of your applications.
Thanks Natta!

So are we talking about the visa for US or about the visa for Canada and Mexico. Because I have a valid multi entry visa for US valid till May 2011, so I am all set with the US visa, I was aking about the Mexico and Canda visa. It is kind of annoying that I live at the border with Canada and nvere visit the country in 4 years.
Talking about US visa.
