AOS Filers: April 2009

[ailyn 0]

I have a question for those of you who got approved without an interview.

We have already received the Welcome Letter by mail, but today I got another email from CRIS saying they mailed an Approval Notice today. Does the approval notice come with the green card? Or will we receive the green card separately? I have read some timelines that said "Card Production Ordered" is that when you have passed the interview? Or is it after getting the approval notice?

The GC is attached to the approval notice. You should receive it soon, congratulations

Good luck to you, ailyn

Thanks Chibby! Mine is at 1pm later. Hope we get it.. Would be GREAT Bday gift for my husband. Its his bday today

It's attached per Chibby. Our approval was mailed on 9/9/09. Hopefully we'll have the GC by the end of next week. Whoohoo

I got my green card in the mail today!!!!! I just went to get my mail, and there it was! That was a lot faster than I expected! The website said it was mailed yesterday, so I was hoping for next week, but I'm so happy that its here!

Thank you all for your support during this process!

I wanted to tell you about my interview. I dont even want to call it interview because i was not really asked for anything besides the questions from the form answerable by yes or no. Anyways, our appointment was at 1pm. Me and my husband arrived at 12:30 and then told to wait in the first floor for an hour or so before called to go to the 2nd floor. There we waited again for like 30 mins before we were called. The IO was a very nice gentleman. He led us the way to the room where we took the oath and lets us be seated. First thing he said was that he dont even know why we were there coz he said we have everything in file already. He asked me the yes or no questions from the form and then said to me " you have been very good since you're here in the US, right?" I smiled and said, yes i am and will always be.

He asked if i have been married before and have kids and i said no, this is my first marriage. He asked us if there's anything we would like to add in our file for him, then my husband said if he would want to take a look at some of our pictures and take one. He said sure. I gave him one of our wedding pictures and was pleased. And, that was it. I made sure he knows today is my husbands birthday so i said something, lol. And he wished my hubby happy bday.

Before he even start he took my I94 already and after that told me that im approved coz he cant think of anything else to ask me or my husband and that he will have my passport stamped and we only have to wait downstairs for it. He led us again the way out and i even joked what a good exercise that was coz its kinda long hallway in getting in and out. And then downstairs we waited again for like forever for my passport. All in all, we got out from that building at exactly 3:40. But then again, we dont mind the waiting and hunger. Now i am so happy i have been really so lucky in my visa endeavor. All my interviews, medicals and everything went well. I have been very meticulous and careful to all the forms and that helped a lot and prayed a lot too... helped sooo much.

Now, all i have to wait is the GC in mail. Thanks everyone here!

congrats ailyn, and eric & teresa.

Thanks SunRay! USCIS wedsite says "card production ordered". I still cant believe evrything went so smooth. I was so worried because we dont have joint bank accounts together, the car, insurance and everything is in my hubby's name. But, we were so lucky, not even 1 of my two huge and heavy folders was opened since the IO didnt ask us for anything.

Congratulations again to all of us who got thru the interview well and will be getting GCs soon!

Congrats ailyn and Sunray

And yes, I hope a lot of our April Filers will be back for a LOC thread, but until then a happy USCIS and form-free time

Hey folks,

Looks like everyone is getting their green cards now! I haven't been on VJ in quite awhile, just waiting to get our notice for the interview. Well, we finally got a new date for our interview (we were originally scheduled for July 9, which they then canceled and told us to wait for a new date).

We have our interview on Sept 28, just a few days away!

Congrats to everyone who has been approved already!

Thanks Everyone for your support here. I got my GC 9 days after my interview.

To those still still in the process, dont loose hope. As long as everything is true and of course papers ready, nothing would go wrong.

Good luck to all!

Hi, we are May filers. I was wondering if any of you had problems with getting multiple RFEs. We just got a second one and I am concerned it's about the validity of our marriage certificate (one of the things requested in last RFE). I realize that I am dealing with morons and no matter how much I spell it out for them, I may still have a fight on my hands explaining I have given them what they need. Thanks for any insight you can provide. I'm just curious about how things go with a second RFE.
