Hello Wonder-Full VJers (L) ,

Where does time go?

I sure could use some loving support and guidance.

Questions like:

Approximately how long after you get your NOA do you hear about when the biomatrix appointment is?

(meaning do you get at least 3 weeks notice? or is it two week's notice?)

How does one change an appointment if necessary?

Can it be done by phone?

What percentage of couples get interviewed?

(if we did not have an interview for our adjustment of status from K1, is there a higher chance?)

I may have more questions...I'm in a hurry at the moment.

As always, thank you kindly for any info anyone may have.

Do them with enthusiasm!!

Don't just do something. Sit there.

(meaning do you get at least 3 weeks notice? or is it two week's notice?)

How does one change an appointment if necessary? Call customer service

Can it be done by phone? Yes

What percentage of couples get interviewed? Less than 10%

(if we did not have an interview for our adjustment of status from K1, is there a higher chance?) Not necessarily

I may have more questions...I'm in a hurry at the moment.

As always, thank you kindly for any info anyone may have.

Okay one more, ahem, silly question.

You know how sometimes the info can be right in front of you, but you still need some kind soul to hold your hand and read it to you?

Well, this is my plight at the moment.

Hahaha!

About timelines...again:

File 90 days before my green card expires, right?

The date that is on the card itself?

(I was a K1.)

Thanks again for any help.

That's right, the 90-day window starts 90 days prior to the expiration date on the card. If you send it before the 90-day window, they'll return the package to you.

By the way, you seem like a very polite person, and I truly admire that. I can never stress enough on how far politeness can take a person. Keep it up.

Thank you for "holding my hand" Okalian, and for your kind words.

I can be extremely polite when not backed against a corner.

Hahaha!

Even then sometimes, I can choose to remain calm and collected....I may use pointed words then though.

Diplomatically, of course.

That's exactly what I was thinking :)

Now, you and I have history.
