Just thought it might be fun to have a place to check what other AOS filers experiences have been, with this recent group of applications. I filed July 18, 2007 and just had my checks cashed. This part has taken 8 weeks, and I have not received my receipts yet, but think that should be happening soon. Has anyone had similar experiences? I feel lucky, though, that my application was sent to Texas. It has taken me a long time to get a chance to just apply so I feel very fortunate. But know a long wait is in store for a green card. But since my husband was able to file with me at least he will finally be able to work soon. He has not worked for over a year now.
