S85

Hello all, I have been reading a lot about how to adjust status from K1 to green card. And I am following those steps right now. I am having a very detailed question regarding to form I-765. So I was in U.S on a student visa before. And after I graduated with the master degree, I applied for one year OPT(Optional Pratice Training) Becuase of this OPT, I had this Employment Authorization Card only valid for one year. And this was A# coming with it. My question right now is on the form there is a question asking: Have you ever applied for employment authorization before? Should I answer YES? And if yes, there are following questions as Which USCIS office? Dates? Where can I get those information? The card didnt contain that information. BTW, another general question, for my understanding so far, it might take a while to get the green card. But for the work authorization, how long does it usually take? Thanks

I got my visa on 7th, Feb. Right now, I made myself in U.S. for one week long already. We got married and the wedding ceremony will be on end of March. Right now, going through the Ajustment of status. Thanks all for your support.

Thanks all for the information and comforting. I hope I could hear anything soon too. That is the first thing in my mind when I wake up everyday. Getting my hope up and got disappointed every single day. That sucks. Specially I have so much free time try to kill, it makes this harder. I was so frustrated about it that I took my anger to my fiance. Though I know it was not fair for him and it was not good for our relationship, still cant help to be mad. He often says it is just what it is. No one to be blamed. Well, I think it was someone's fault. Consulate, Lawyer... it gotta be someone's fault so that this process is taking so long. This is a broken system. Everyone knows it but no one is fixing it... It is getting closer to 4 months. I guess I will be worried if I didnt hear anything by 4 months. This forum has becoming my best friend. It make me feel better after venting here every time. Thanks all.

Thanks for the compassion I joined the CCP in the college for the reason of potential job oppotunity. Then after it, I went to U.S for gradute school directly, came back and worked at an U.S company. I never got any benifits for being a CCP. That is a good point of the medical check... May I know when did your wife have her interview? I thought it was good they took my passport as well. However, it didnt seem like it so far. The hardest part is waiting and not knowing when. That is my fiance's plan to email them every two weeks. Also our laywer has been following up as well. But I dont really trust the lawyer now. She used to tell us her past experience of CCP is average 6-8 weeks... That is why we booked ticket, quit my job, planned everything... Anyway, thanks very much for listening my vent

Hello, Is there anyone who had the interview in 2012 around Sep.and still waiting due to the CCP? Sorry, came here to vent... I had mine interview at the end of Sep. And during the interview, I turned in the four documents even my passport... But right now still waiting, it is approaching the four months timeline. Stupidly, we booked the ticket, and it got changed for twice now... we changed it to Jan 24th... Even worse, I quit my job... He has been very positive, he said it would make us relationship stronger. And it will all worth it in the end. I just want to get married with him and to start our life together. Why it is so hard... I know my case was not the worst one compared to some other's. But still it sucks... and it hurts...

We have been waiting for almost four months. When did you have the interivew? I had mine on Sep. 2012... We missed the Christmas and New Year together... It is getting really depressing.

Congraduations. I am still waiting for mine... My interview is Sep 27th, 2012, and turned in the four documents and even my passport during the interview. Last week, I and my fiance checked with consulate, got the standard replied email... I and he were too optimistic about the situation, so we even booked the tickets, planned everything. Now we already changed my ticket to Jan 24th... and I already quit my job... Now the time is approaching, I guess we have to change our ticket again... I dont know what I really want from here. I am getting depressed. And it is really not fair to vent to him. I actually did, it just, the long distance is killing me. Special the waiting of uncertainty... I know no one would have anything to say but wait... But it still makes me feel better to speak it out here. It has been almost 4 months now... I hope it will come soon...
