January 2009 AOS Submitters

[dbears 1]

OGM! now am really doomed! with my situation I don't know If I can really handle the interview?!

but anyway thanks lea..

why do you say you can't handle the interview? you have handled the interview at the US embassy in Manila, I don't see why you can't handle another one especially since your husband will be with you this time. If your marriage is true and the relationship is legit then I am sure there would be no problem at all. Don't worry you can do it.

hi guys,

My husband and I did sent off my AOS PACKET last friday after dumping all the filled up applications a month ago, and finally it is on it way to touch down to USCIS office soon.. I did review all the application last friday before we did sent it off, i did found that I have to filled out a few part of the application of status by hand, is this ok?! I too didn't really educate myself about AOS stuff for I had doubts to really stay here with my husband.. well anyways, i wouldn't be surprise if I will get RFE's very soon!.. :-( but am keeping my faith and hopes up!

we mailed it to CHICAGO IL.. and I found out that all AOS filers has an interview? is this true guys? if this is true, am doomed(pls no)!

well best LUCK TO ALL OF US, JANUARY AOS FILERS..

oh, before I forget, is AOS ok to put on the cashier's check purpose? for it is what we did told the bank teller to put on the purpose!!

yes you will have an interview.

the check should be fine.

OGM! now am really doomed! with my situation I don't know If I can really handle the interview?!

but anyway thanks lea..

why can't you handle an interview?

what situation are you in?

I tried adding the case numbers for my kids and my AOS and EAD case number on my old USCIS account (one I used for the I-129F petition), it says it can't add a case that does not exist... I tried creating another account but it would go through since my email address is already in their system. I don't know if I should wait a few days or weeks more before my case appeards online or if I need to log on to a different USCIS site. Had anybody else experience this?

We are having the same problem. There appears to be a delay in getting the new case numbers into the computer system. Keep trying, hopefully someday they will appear online.

Well we got Gareth's Biometrics scheduled for Friday Feb 6th (same as you Andy and Maricar!) was surprised we have it so quick but am def happy this process seems to be going decent for us!

Do we get actual notification once AOS/EAD/ and such are all approved then (besides the NOA2 thing for them?). Will he get actual cards or something?

Thanks!

I know we will get actual cards for EAD and AOS(permanent residency card) but I don't know about AP... for EAD, they will send the card a few weeks after approval while for AOS, NOA2 will either mean they will order card production and send it off even without interview or they will soon schedule interview date for the AOS applicant.

this is the latest case of approval/card production order without interview: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=174669

cases transferred to CSC are often approved without interview, i don't know how they pick who gets transferred or who don't and I don't know also if I want our case to be transferred coz although being transferred ought to mean the application will be processed faster, as of late, there has been numerous cases of people who were not transferred, had interview and getting the green card faster compared to those whose cases were transferred to CSC.

hope we will all get approved fast and hope we will all have an RFE free AOS journey.

i'm really bad with abbreviations... what's RFE? and what's CSC?

RFE - Request for Evidence (usually further or additional evidence than what you have already submitted, sometimes they would request the exact documents you have submitted, with immigration people, you can never tell and can only hope)

CSC - California Service Center

here's a link of the most common abbreviations used here on vj: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=definition

Cool Dbears thanks for the info on the cards and such! I really don't mind if we have an interview all that matters is he gets the card and such in the end!

We finally received NOA1s for AOS and EAD for me and my 2 kids (K1 & K2). we did not apply for AP even if it was free just additional documents for something we won't really need. I am just soo happy and soooooooo relieved, at least our papers was indeed received by USCIS. WHEW! Now the waiting finally begins.

wow, congrats gay! Hope next would be the biometrics appointment!

We got same situation too. I guess it takes a while till we can track our cases online.
