AOS & EAD Feb. 2008 Filers

[Leafgal 3]

Wow. As I found out with the I-131 and I-765, touches are meaningless. Apparently that is true with the interview notice as well.

Speaking of meaningless touches, my I-130 was touched yesterday.

at leat you're getting some love from USCIS.. I haven't been touched at all! I know I know its meaningless..BUT I want to see SOME sort of progress..**sigh**

S

I am with you on that Shawna7, I want a touch

New member, first post, been lurking for a while.

Our lawyer sent off our AOS/EAD/I-130 paperwork on February 18th and already we have an interview date set. This seems awfully fast considering how long some wait. The case status for the I-130 isn't even showing up as a valid case online yet, I'm not sure if I should be worried about that or not. It's looking like we may have the interview before the EAD is even approved.

I'm nervous about the interview though, hopefully all goes well.

I had the same problem, and was worried. I phone the (mis)Information line, and eventually spoke to a person (after getting mad and just randomly pressing lots of numbers at once). who could not find it, so she put me on hold for 1/2 hr and then I spoke to a supervisor, who said he could find it (he could apparently access more deeply into the system). He said not to worry, it just means whoever initially received it forgot to enter it into the tracking system. I'd say if you got an interview, that means your I-130 is fine, otherwise you would have received an RFE first. This guy told me that the I-130 follows along attached to the I-485.

Congrats on your interview!!!

Well that makes me feel better, would be bad to drive out to Atlanta only to find some critical paperwork missing. As it is, our lawyer has advised us to take copies of everything we sent in initially as well as all the supporting documentation we can get our hands on, which seems like good enough advice.

We were really shocked when we got the interview notice so quickly, we were told to expect an interview maybe June-August sometime, not that I'm complaining of course. Now we're scrambling to get as much documentation as possible for the interview. I'm not really sure why we got the interview so quickly, but hopefully it will go well.

It indeed is a (mis)information line. When my I-130 was approved, there was some language on it that confused us. We called USCIS service center on 3 - 4 different occasions, and got a different answer each time. We finally made an appointment at the local field office, met an officer, and got the right answer. I suggest scheduling an appointment and meeting an officer.

Ughh so I checked the processing times for my local office and instead of going forward they went back a couple of months. WTH.
