AOS Filers - July 2009

[Ana1988 0]

I got an email from USCIS today and was so nervous to open it. It was just the notice that it was transferred to CSC, whew! lol.

thats awesome!you're lucky=)

[JULIAFERNO 0]

yes, as far as I can figure, that's correct.

So Karri, from what I can tell, you won't interview. I've been looking at filers in past months and comments and some people were transferred way before biometrics to CSC, so congrats! Hope they transfer us soon, as we should only be a couple of days behind you...

So if you aren't transferred to CSC you interview, but if you are transferred you don't? I think I signed up for email alerts and we haven't received any.

Hmmm. Is there a transparent reason that some people don't have to interview? Should you worry if you do? What should be expected at an interview? Should probably start getting prepared...

From what I've gathered they don't interview about 50% of K-1's. I'm not sure why, maybe because our spouses have already been interviewed once? No, you definitely shouldn't worry! At an interview you should take tangible evidence of your life together as a married couple along with a copy of your entire packet-

A lease or mortgage agreement or signed affidavit of someone stating you live together

Wedding photos, holiday, family, event photos

Joint Bank/credit card statement

Utility bills in both names

Driver's licenses showing same address

Joint Bank/credit cards with same numbers different names

Both Birth certs and passports for each of you

I read somewhere the kind of questions are usually pretty basic, similar to the Embassy interview:

Where do you live? Where do you work? Where are your parents? When did you get married? Who was there? That sort of thing.

Hope everyone who is waiting for their schedule gets it soon as well.

My check got cashed his week but no NOA's yet? I'll keep an eye out next week

Do they usually all come together? AOS, EAD, AP?

I'm not as stressed this time around...cause we are finally together and waiting it out with each other, which is nice

Wow! I didn't know that. That was going to be my next question, what does it mean to be transferred? lol. If Sam doesn't need an interview that would be a miracle for us. This whole process was so difficult for us as we got a 221g on the K-1 and was expecting the worse. But we overcame that hurdle with our mountain of evidence. Maybe they saw our mushy love letters and decided that we don't need any inteview, lol j/k

Just to add to this, here's a standard interview summary: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=182281

And I just found this: including a list of reasons for suspicion http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=154623 Julia, perhaps if they can see that you have no red flags you get passed off to CSC with no interview... seems likely to me.

Hi everybody!

We filed our AOS + EAD package yesterday!

Wish us good luck!!!

Besos,

Patricia

Hmmmm....I'm starting to worry a little. We sent our daughter's AOS from K-2 on 7-13-09 and it was received on 7-16-09, but our check has not cashed and there is no NOA in the mail yet. Based on what I an seeing, it seems everyone is getting there NOA in about 1 week from mailing and ours is almost two weeks now. Hope I did everything okay and they will not send it back.

i sent mine July 8th received July 12th I still dont have NOA1 yet. Worried.

Hi all! I just wanted to let everyone know that doing a walk-in is indeed possible, I did my biometrics earlier! The lady at the front desk just asked for my letter (and didn't even check the date), I was done in less than 30 minutes. If you live near your ASC, it really is worth a try

I'm crossing my fingers that everybody gets their NOAs and biometric schedules soon, if they still haven't gotten them!
