AOS FILERS - March 2008

[Elmira 1]

So we're approved!

I'm so happy thats over with!

Here's the run down of how it went:

So we got to the Interview place at like 8:30 our interview wasn't till 9:30...and we got called in a 9:45.

(we were watching people go in and out I was amazed at how many people had lawyers and translators)

We get called we go in. A lady interviewer greets us (she was very nice...I was having the worst hot flashes in the waiting room so I probably looked wiped out) We go into her office she asks me if I feel okay...she says shes already had one lady go in to labor in her office and she doesn't want anymore to...lol

I tell her I'll be fine. And then she swears us in. The interview begins she verifies all our info. We change our address with her since we just moved and give her a copy of our lease. She adds my SSN to the file. She asks my husband and I each others birthdays...how we met...what he thought when he first saw me....if I like my MIL....if we have any more evidence to add to the file....I had already given her the apartment lease so I give her that and new bank statements, new pay stubs, health insurance paperwork, and show that I have an album to look through (she never did...I was kinda disappointed)

She then tells us that we have supplied her with more than enough evidence and that she is approving our case and that i should expect to receive my green card in 2- 3 weeks. She then explains that its a conditional card because we haven't been married for 2 years yet...and when to reapply....she also says that if we provide them with as much info as we did for this interview we might not need another one.

I am so happy to be done!

I was kinda freaked out by the other people going in and out some didn't look so happy when they left!

We got the card production email when we got home last night !

SO excited!!!!

I definitly recommend being organized...she liked that we were...she could just ask me for something and I'd have it right away.

And definitly be prepared for anything....my husband is horrible with dates and he got both the date questions...my birthday and when we got married...he knew them but on the spot its so hard to think right away.

Good luck everyone with your upcoming interviews i"m sure you'll do great!

Congratulations!!!!! :dance: :dance: Yesterday I received a Welcome letter

Hey, how are all of you who havent gotten their EAD approval yet? I stopped counting how many days its been, the number is too high. I haven't heard from my senator's office yet but he told me it would take about two weeks, and that would be tomorrow. I've been paying attention to the thread to see if Scott and Marta or anyone else has said that they got approved so I could see if any progress has been made....but it doesn't seem to be.

I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully your senator's office will call tomorrow and you can get an idea of what's going on. At least you have someone looking into it. I'm trying to send some luck your way

Okay...I have some "news"... My husband and I called USCIS on conference call yesterday because i've heard many times to keep calling. Anyway, so we get this regular agent who tells us that she is going to escalate our call to a more senior agent who has more access. (I had no idea there were different tiers of agents on the hotline) The senior agent was a woman and very nice. She asked us all kinds of questions and asked why we didnt file a service request. I told her that we were only 20-something days over the processing times and that other agents have said the computer wont let them do it until it is 30 days over the processing times, which she then confirmed was true. She then looked into our case and told me that the case had been placed "on hold". I'm assuming its been that way since 6/23 which is when we got the last and only touch. She also said that it had not been tranfered anywhere yet. She said there wasnt a reason as to why it was on hold although occasionally a reason is given. According to her it could be a variety of things (as usual...) One scenario she threw out was that so much time had passed they were just going to schedule the interview and bypass the EAD. Another reason she said could be because his birth country is South Africa which may or may not be cooperating. Or who knows, maybe they think we're the biggest liars ever and theyre going to send him back to Canada. But heres the best part....she told us she didnt think it was right to leave us speculating about the millions of reasons it could be on hold, especially since its already been so long. She said that there are many different categories of service requests that can be put in and she put one in for us in a way the computer would allow! So hopefully we will get a letter soon explaining exactly why its on hold and if theres anything we can do about it.

Sorry this is long but I hope it helps someone
