AOS FILERS: MARCH 2009

[TheGuy 0]

UNLV? Wow are you in Vegas? I live in N. Las Vegas. I'm going tomorrow and see what they say. I looked at the UNLV website and it says something about if you're a us citizen, permanent resident, and other. so maybe that other can mean something. I'm going to CSN first and see what's up. CSN for two years and then transfer that's my plan

Yep in Las Vegas. Good plan, most of the classes taken at CSN will transfer to UNLV, and it is quite a bit cheaper then taking them at UNLV, plus if you are over in NLV the CSN campus is a lot closer then UNLV.

Actually this is incorrect.

You CAN study at any time technically. You just may have to pay OUT OF STATE tuition (which is 3 times as much). I called my school and they said I can use my SPOUSES US residency!

So, call the school you are interested in, see if you can use your spouses residency to qualify for IN state tution (note: spouse has to be a state resident for at least a year I believe).

But, EAD has NOTHING to do with schooling.

Sorry should have put with JUST an EAD. Technically you CANNOT study at any time. When going to enroll they want proof that you are here in the US legally (ie non-expired I94, Permanent Resident Car, student visa, etc), and will continue to be through out the semester. We were going to enroll my wife in a short term (5 week) summer course at UNLV, however they would not accept it since the I94 would have expired shortly after starting and we had not yet received her PRC, thy would not accept the pending AOS.

Well, I went today and filled out the paper, talked to a counselor, need to take the placement test and that's it. They didn't ask for a permanent resident card or well at least not for now.

We did the same took the test, and then when it was time to enroll is when they requested all the information. Do you have a State ID or DL yet?

no, should I get State ID? I was waiting for DL but I'm studying the manual. I think I'm already enrolled. I got my C#(student number) and he told me how to add/drop classes and everything. He recommended me what classes to take

just an update, i physically recieved my green card today, it says i have been a permenant resident since May 8th, so lud updates are def behind (my approval lud came 4 days later.)

[Lonelysoul80 2]

Here is my exp at the AOS interview.

We reached the office at San Bernardino at 8:00 AM, there was a McDonalds near by so we thought we will have breakfast before we go in.. we stopped and to my surprise so a lot of ghetto people and my husband told me this is a bad area as they were all looking at us and we were the only ones dressed with clean neat clothes.. anyways we parked our car in the parking lot and walked towards to front door.

Gave the passports and interview letter to the card and went through the check [ just as in airports] He then told us to go to the 2nd floor and put the letter in the center window, we went through the lift and walked inside to find 6 couples waiting before us. we put the letter and were asked to sit, while watching the news channel outside we saw one couple who was with a lawyer get denied and the lawyer was explaining possibilities to re-apply in spanish [ Did not understand a word but knew the gestures].

Our appointment was booked for 9:30 AM and while waiting many more couples walked in with kids and we were looking at them play while the couples that had arrived before us were being called, at 10:05 AM a Filipino elderly man came in and called my name, he did not have a smile.. he had a dead serious face and we thought thats it we are already in the deniel list, I got upset and started getting nervous.

We made us sit and then asked for our ID's, gave him my EAD and he gave his Drivers Licence.. he took the appointment letter and made photocopies and came back and said that he needs to read a long letter and then we need to stand up for the Oath, he read the letter which said that i will be punishable by law............................ and then we took the oath and sat down.

He asked my husband is he was wearing those clothes cause of religion [ He had a black kurta], then there was a 30 mins talk about religion and he does not believe in any but God and explained why he doesnt and whats important is Love [ I was waiting for the stamp ]

He then confirmed all the info on the form, asked if i had anythign with our names on it, gave him bills with same address but they werent joint, gave him our flight confirmation tickets to london, marriage cirtificate, and the svaings bank account [ He dint look at any of these just took them and filed them...then stamped my application as Aprroved i gave a big grin and they continued talking about Love and God. He then explained the removal of conditional status and wrote the date so we remember.

He told me he will stamp my passport and be back and then got back saying he needs to go down and do it... we walked along with him and he stamped my passport and wished me luck and success and said keep that smile on your face

We thanked him and walked out.

Thank you guys for all those kind words and wishes they really helped

Wow. If that was me I would have refused to discuss religion with the interviewer. None of their business.

Anyway, update from me. We had our interview on Friday in Santa Ana. I'll post a full review in the USCIS reviews section.

But we passed. The interviewer didn't even look at our proof of relationship or photos. Just asked us to give her my proof of relationship and choose 3 or 4 photos that they could add to the file.

And just for the record, the only medical my wife had done was the original one in Thailand for the I129F interview. We did not have a civil surgeon perform a new exam or transcribe her vaccinations.
