Application Type: I765 , APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On July 14, 2010, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

:dance: :dance: :dance:

I got the Text about 5:15 am PST ..... Went and checked the USCIS site and also AP had been touched but didnt move to production , Do they produce AP without moving the blue dot since both I765 and I131 were touched today ????

Congrats!! Did the message under the blue dots change on your AP? My blue dot moved to Post-decision and the message says on July 8 we mailed you a notice that we have approved this application...blabla. It has been touched since then but the date/message and blue dots didn't change.

Yesterday hubby started asking me the names of the many islands in Indonesia and where they are.

Haha... I was like, I don't think the IO is going to give us a geography quiz

The Dot on our I765 changed to production Oath - but the AP is still on initial review but was touched , so I dont know if that means the AP is getting produced or not ??

I don't understand why the post decision dot is before the production dot.

How does that even make sense??? So there is decision, and then document production, and then dot moves backwards to post decision?

Ingenious (not!)

I was going to say probably not yet and then I realized that it is the USCIS website we're talking about so you never know...

Yeah, it doesn't make sense at all. I don't think it is supposed to make sense, they are trying to keep us confused, it is some kind of tactic. I haven't figured out why yet

For AP there is no card so that blue dot went straight to Post-Decision. For the EAD, Felipe23 told me it jumps back to Post-Decision when they send the card, but hey who knows...it might do that for some and not for others...there is no way to know.

So we have our interview tomorrow, I'll share my preparation checklist with you for the documents I am going to bring - we are married 13 years now and have two kids ; hopefully the burden of proving a 'real' relationship is less. We are lucky to go though AOS via DV Lottery instead of EB1/2, so we don't have to proof income of have letters of support. Still, obviously to be prepared we will bring foto albums and financial records.

Original documents:

===================

1. Current photo-id (passport) for all

2. Old passports for all

3. Birth certificates for all (incl. international version)

4. Marriage certificate (original - lucky I found it, and a certified copy we made years ago)

5. Proof of eligibility (i.e. original of DV letter)

6. Proof of paid DV fee for all.

7. Originals of all immigration related papers (i.e. any notice relating to AOS, as far as possible any notice relating to H1B/H4)

8. Proof of education >= 12 years or 2 years work experience in last 5 years in job category 7+:

8a. original contract letters current employer

8b. letter on employer's letterhead showing current pay (not strictly necessary afaik in my case)

8c. copy of letter of previous employer showing 9 years of work experience (original was sent for H1B)

8d. Full publication list, + screenshots last 5 years of articles in online journals or PubMed

8e. Original university terminal degree + certified translation (certified copy)

9. (copy of) the medicals

10.Tax records last three years (printout of TurboTax + W2's + printout receiving tax return on bank account)

11. House title papers, mortgage, car insurance, year 2006-2009 summary overview bank account printout (joint names myself and spouse)

12. A few photo albums over the years

13. Oh yes, last minute passport photo's each 2 (not sure if needed but it was mentioned on the interview letter)

Copies of everything

====================

Special notes:

a. Current passports: id page, I94 front & back, H1B/H4 stamp if on other page, H1B/H4 visa page

b. No copies of old passports.

c. I'm not bringing copies of foto's

d. Copies of I-485, G-325 as we submitted them

That's about it... fingers crossed for tomorrow.
