September AOS filers

Glad that some enjoyed the interview review.

My main goal is to help others that still have an interview

or possibly help people 2 years from now that may have interviews.

It gives you an idea of what to know and not

be totally in the dark.

Thanks for thanking me!!

Good luck to everyone!!

Did you know you can post that review for others here http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/

Click on "post a new local CIS office review."

Thanks.....I'll make sure to do that soon.

I think that the reviews are so helpful.

I am sooooooooooooooooo relieved that ours is over. I feel thankful every day.

Now, do we apply 2 years after we are approved on the 26th or 2 years after we actually get the greencard in the mail?

Do you know? I guess that I could not be lazy and read it on here.

I know it's on here for sure.

Hello All,

I fellow filers, I have been away for a while so I thought I congratulate everyone with all their approvals. I am so happy for all of you and I am so glad the process is finally over for some of you and for those still waiting, your time will come as well. As for us, our interview is on feb. 10 so just another week or so to go. It was great to hear your interview experiences, it will help a lot of us out to how we should prepare and what we should have with us.

I have a question for those that went to the interview. Did you guys have to provide any affidavits from friends or family? Also I know they are suppose to stamp your passport when you get approved and I read that they did not stamp Ahmed's passport, am I right? Are they suppose to stamp it or it doesn't really matter.

Anyways, it has been really tough for us as we never got our EAD and well I gave up because our interview is so close. As I posted before, i did the ombudsman thing and all the service requests just to get a RFE just a few weeks before my interview so I sent what they were asking for and just waiting for the interview. This wait has been nothing like I have experienced and I don't wish this on anyone. I think, they should allow people to work while they wait because then the wait would not be as bad because they are busy with their jobs and careers.

I will keep you guys posted.

Thank you all for creating such great forum for all september filers.

Thank you for the update, time1300. I'm sorry things are not going smoothly for you compared to most. The f*ckedupness of this process is something out of the comic books ! I agree with you, the waiting is grueling. All we can do is stay hopeful and press on, taking things one day at a time.

No stamp in the passport. I don't think that they do that anymore.

We also did not do any affidavits from friends or family and she did not ask for any.

Good luck on your interview!!

Hope they get you an EAD soon!

Hello Time1300

Its sad and i hope you both have the strength to cope like you have, hopefully you ll be done with the interivew and everything comes at same time.

Dont worry too much, some of us with EAD'S are still struggling with this drowning economy.... yet to find a job, now i ask myself, if i knew it was going to be this hard.. i would have relaxed more without worrying for the EAD, but you know how it is...we are at their mercy, what i pray for is that they get it done quickly so we can move on with our lives...without them looming in the dark or giving us nightmares!

Lynnandahmed ...congratulations!

Yaay!

Hi Faustine !!!

qu'est ce qu'on ferait pas pour nos hommes !! Je m'ennuie pas mal à la maiosn et j'avoue que je pensais pouvoir trouver un travail rapidement, jusqu'à il y a peu !! C'est déprimant, j'ai postulé a plusieurs endroits ou je connais des gens, pas de nouvelles du tout. J'ai postulé dans des laboratoires de controle qualité alimentaire puisque le diplome que je me le permet ...rien!! et je suis tellement desespérée, qu'hier j'ai même postulé pour un poste d'hotesse de l'air! J'ai eu une premier réponse pour ça!

Mais j'avoue que ce qui complique un peu la chose c'est que je ne veux pas prendre un travail qui engage de trop puisque l'on veut déménager en aout pour que je retourne a la fac faire un master ....

Et toi ? dans quoi cherches-tu du travail ? Comment fais tu pour occuper ton temps libre ?

En tout cas, bon courage ....je nous souhaite a tous de trouver du travail rapidement, j'en deviens crazy !!

Bonne apres midi !

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]
