congrats purdy

@all

so wich service center is now for my case or can the NBC also approve aos and send the GC?or transfered NBC after the interview the case again?and is it sure when my case is at the NBC that we have to go to an interview????

I am not sure, but I can share that my case is still at the NBC yet my interview is scheduled at the local office nearest to my residence in NY. I don't think it matters as long as they approve the case during the interview and will send us the green cards... :whistle:

AOS approved yesterday in NYC :dance::dance::dance:

We had our interview scheduled at 1:45 pm. we got there around 1 and we got in a few minutes earlier, and the interview was less than 10 minutes. We got sworn in, we were interviewed by 2 guys, for some reason ( my husband thinks one was a trainee) .The first questions were if any of us was married before or had any kids. They asked us for the marriage certificate and my hubby's birth certificate, I offered mine to, although I only had the notarized copy and they said I needed the original. They asked for pics first of all. they really liked our album, I out there pics in chronological order since we started dating until our honeymoon. They started to pull pics out and staple them in their file. Then they asked how we met, asked my husband what was i doing at the time, if i went to school here, asked me if he went to school. Asked us where we traveled since we met , I offered to show them travel receipts but they said it's ok.I was asked all the "no" questions and then our phone no and adress. it was very relaxed and I felt confortable to make some jokes and then they handed me the piece of paper that says I am a conditional rtesident and that i have to remove the condition. and then they stamped my passport and I was good to go. It was an awesome experience , we were prepared for much worse, we had a case full of evidence, they didn't looka at anything.

That was our story, hope everyone else has an easy interview.

Congrats! :thumbs:

has anyone maybe the same problem to get the SSN?

i was in the end of oktober in the office to pick up my SSN and i was not verified...so they told me it need a couple weeks until USCIS update the case...i said well why they dont update when they approve EAD and the lady said well when u know the answer let me know lol

so i was there yesterday because i saw some people had the same problem and got the ssn after two weeks....no luck still not verified so they sent a paper to virginia and told me it can need again 4 weeks...THAT SUCKS i was so happy to got the EAD after 2 month and now i still cant work because nobody hires me without an SSN:-(((

ahhhhhhhh BTW second question...when i filed AOS i dont send the divorce paper from me last marriage...i have it here but its in german....so until now i get no REF about it...could it be that they dont need it????or that they ask for it when i am at the interview appointment??

and i saw that everybody can translate a form who is fluent in german and english...my husband is....so can he translate the divorce paper or have i go to an office ????

Yes, big congratulations to everyone with good news! :dance::dance::dance:

And isn't it nice that we are now getting so much good news that it's easier to say that?

ahhhhhhhh BTW second question...when i filed AOS i dont send the divorce paper from me last marriage...i have it here but its in german....so until now i get no REF about it...could it be that they dont need it????or that they ask for it when i am at the interview appointment??

Are you adjusting status from a K1? If so, you don't need it. We did not have to send another copy of my husband's first wife's death certificate with AOS, just our marriage certificate. If you had a different type of visa, it may be different, although I don't see why they would ask for it at this point---they need it for a K1 because you need to be legally free to marry to qualify; now you have a marriage certificate which proves you are legally married, making that sort of a moot point. I don't know the answers to your other two questions, but someone probably will.

THANKS

About the SSN you can get a verification printout after like a week or so from filing. However some people have delays and I've seen here people wait up to a month for their SSN. It's up to DHS and USCIS.

Don't let the choices chose you, chose the choices that you want.
