AOS Filers October 2009

Savaleta:

The big K-1 visa packet you handed the CBP officer at the PoE contained your entire application history: everything that you had handed USCIS and the consulate up to that point. My understanding is that that packet eventually ends up getting routed to your local USCIS office for use by the local IO for the interview. That original birth certificate may very well be in the file your IO has

The best advice is to not worry, and think positive thoughts. If you have faith, pray, It really does work. Indeed, for a lot of things that seem completely outside our control (like whether the IO is in a good mood that morning! ) it's the only thing that does. Read Psalm 91. Whether you're Christian or Muslim or Jewish. (Heck read it if you're any ol'faith); all three of those say that it comes from G-d.

" I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust." Ps 91:2

Savaleta:

To the extent that an Interview has been established - it is a very good bet that the USCIS has the original packet in hand. It is only when nothing happens and the is no activity on an application that the possibility of a lost packet becomes a real concern.

I also would not overly worry - however I am of the bring all you can school. The Psalm is nice... but while I trust in God, All others pay cash.

Thanks for the response. We had two copies in Juarez, and they said they wanted the original bc. Now I'm really freaking out. Our interview is tomorrow morning at 10:45. #######.

I'm thinking about you!! I hope your interview went well!

This week there are 8 October filers with interviews scheduled. Good luck everyone. Looking forward to reading about everyones experience.

For those still waiting for the interview letters, I hope now that the holidays are over USCIS will be back up to full speed and get those letters out.

Good luck to you too ReeRee. I'm sure you will do fine. It's exciting to think it's almost over (at least for 2 years).

Thanks for the thoughts SnS, Mike and Rebecca. I appreciate it.

So, we had our interview today in Denver. The IO was extremely nice in a very good mood. The first thing she says is I've done very few of these interviews and don't have authorization to approve them. My supervisor has to approve everything!! We were like OK.

She was very nice asked how we met, asked for proof of marriage, our son's birth certificate and pictures. She asked to keep the pictures. She never said a thing about my husband's bc.

Then she talked about removing conditions in 2 years and becoming a citizen. She said that everything looked good the approval just had to go through her supervisor. She said congratulations but never officially said you are approved. We said do we need anything else, no just wait she said. It should show up online by the end of the week.

So, we are excited but still nervous because we don't have an approval yet. Apparently she only can approve naturalization cases!! The waiting game continues!!!! At least she was a pleasant person. We were so nervous.
