Removing Conditions

I guess I should join this thread as well. I could have filed June 30th, but we have a trip to Disney World planned in August and I knew that if I sent my ROC in now, I'd have crappy luck and my bio appt would be scheduled when we're away. So, I am waiting... I plan on sending it in at the last possible moment before we leave, which should be around August 14th. I hate to wait so long but my local office is a lovely 5ish hour long drive one way so it'll probably end up being an overnighter like it was for my AOS bio appt. It's also quite a drive to attempt a walk-in type thing, so alas, I must wait. Damn timing!

Anyhow, until then, I shall learn from your experiences.

They cashed my check on 07-03-2009

Check cashed 7/6. Funny how we get happy when they take the money

I didn't think anywhere was 5ish hours away in Florida. Where the heck are you?

Ugh. I really resent having to spend this money on another freaking process. Again.

And can I just say that I am jealous that they have cashed your cheques, guys? I feel like you're two lengths ahead of me. Having a competitive nature sux.

Meh don't worry too much about it....knowing this freaking process can tak anywhere between 3 and 24 months .....I wouldn't call it being "ahead"

Hi there just a little note for the Newark Office filers:

The fingerprints are now taken in Elizabeth, NJ, you will get the address in the notice. It will still say Newark District but the office has changed, just in case you read too fast and asume its the same place.

I guess they realized how nasty their Newark office is yukkk

Good luck!

So, had my biometrics appointment. It was pretty painless other than the 9 hour roundtrip of driving. Appointment was at 3:00 but I got there early at 2:00 and there was nobody else there waiting so the lady took me in right away and did it. Maybe took 15 min. max. Fill out a form, confirm your info, take fingerprints - some of my fingers were hard to read but eventually she got some acceptable scans, then a quick picture and out the door and a 4.5 hour drive home.

Now we wait for months

It's nice to get it out of the way though...even though it was a long drive.

My husband thought I got my new greencard right there and then. I'm like "nope" I'm still not even approved yet and there is the possibility (very slight) that we may have to go to Minneapolis for an interview to confirm our marriage is legit.

Yikes! That's a heck of a drive for 15 minutes.

okiedokie.... so whatcha'll think: we might move [insert happynezz here] at the end of the month. My idea is to still send out the whole shebang Friday, and worry about the AR-11 and I-865beginning of august; double-notifying them when I go for biometrics. thoughts?
