February 2010 filers??

[EmVee 4]

Luckygoat, it was really a mixture of people that got separated. Some were couples, some were people with their parents. One woman and her husband had some problem at the window in the waiting area, where they were called over to discuss some arrest warrant or other? I wasn't eavesdropping, I was just sitting right next to it and couldn't help but hear her arguing with the officer that she knew nothing about it. When it came time for their interview they were split up, I don't know if that's why, but..... *shrug*

Nats, he kept copies of the bank statement, the bills and the lease. But everything else he just looked at and gave back. Didn't keep photos, didn't keep certified copies of anything, didn't even ask to see the originals of our birth certs or marriage cert, or Tony's taxes! I guess we'd shown him enough, lol.

Yeah by the way your interview sounded it was like he had already made up his mind before he even saw you, which is good. You must have sent some good stuff in. I hope it goes the same for me and i get someone in as good a mood yours was in. So was it like it is in the movie The Proposal lol?

I wish everyone a great interview. Its time for the February filers to DO IT! Best wishes and keep all informed. Thanks for detailed info on the interviews. I spent my entire afternoon sifting through stuff for our interview in 8 days time.

Actually, no! That was the other thing. His office was really cluttered with file drawers and stuff, so the three chairs in front of his desk (where we sat) were pushed right up against it. I was resting my paperwork on the desk the whole time. And his computer was off to one side so I could see what he was doing on it, which surprised me. It was way more casual than I expected.

Though when he stamped our letter it said "DAO" next to his name, so maybe his office is just a manager's office and therefore different to the rest of them? It was almost like he just took our case to hurry things along, but the other offices were where the longer interviews took place.

I'm just glad we got so lucky. Hopefully the rest of you will as well.

Second status update on the EAD (card production again). AP was touched as well, but still in "Initial Review". Is this normal?

All of mine are still in initial review so i don't think it is unusual.

I haven't received anything and no updates or touches since March 19. Everything is still in Initial Review status

I just love their online updates, they are so "accurate"

Ok so i am not the only one. My interview is in 2 days so i was stressing out thinking because i didn't get my EAD i wasn't going to get approved, some random stupid thoughts. Yeah i am pretty disappointed in the no updates thing, i was looking forward to that the most to know that they're doing something!

Thats awsome. I got a mail from USCIS on saturday I was so excited because I was almost certain it was my EAD considerin all the updates on the site, but to my surprise it was my advance patrol....the same advance patrol that I stated I needed for last month on my application lol. Its funny because I still dont have any updates for my advance patrol from the frist day, yet I received it. lol

Looks good, a lease agreement would make it perfect, if not its still fine. What documents did u use to come into the us (F1 visa, tourist visa, I-94) make you bring them as well.

Yeah we don't lease my brother in-law owns the house and we live with him, he wrote a letter for us saying that we did since we don't have any bills in our name. Yeah i lost my I-94 like 2 years ago , i know it's bad so i asked about it on here and some people said they weren't even asked for it. So hopefully i am one of those lucky people that doesn't get asked! Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, btw my AP arrived on the same day as the EAD. However, my AP status is still in "Initial Review" even though the EAD status was being updated as it was coming along.

As lucky goat mentioned, don't forget your passport (+visa), I-94, etc. Do you have all the tax return stuff as well?

Good luck!!!
