We did the medical test result last Aug 18, mailed the result Aug 20 and USCIS received Aug 23. But as of this writing, we havent heard from USCIS. My question is : Do I have to mail again the medical test result to them before Sept 16 - 30 days per their letter? It will cost us $30 to have the test result again and planning to mail next week Sept 10 just before Sept 16 - 30 days alloted time per their letter.

I am seeking your intellectual advice. Did anybody have the same experience.

Well, I guess I wouldnt be needing to send another medical test result SINCE we RECEIVED the WELCOME LETTER today through our mail!!! We'll be looking forward to receiving the green card within 3 weeks!! Thanks for everyone's help.

We passsssed!!!! Give me mor of an update out an about and postiing this on my phone and we have flight to see my parent today. I'll let ya know later all the detail. It was pretty simple.

Congrats!

All these approvals is great to hear!! Congrats to everyone. Unfortunately I am still waiting for my bio appt letter my ASC currently has no capacity, so I have no idea when it might happen. It really sucks to be in such limbo. At least I only have to wait about 6 more weeks before I can start recieving some money for my maternity benefits, and thanksfully I don't need my EAD for that!!!

Have you called them yet or made an infopass appointment or even contacted your congressman to make a congressional inquiry on your behalf?

As some might remember, we had our interview on the 20th August, the chap kept saying that the green card would take 5-6 weeks but he didn't say if we are approved or not.

No updates at all after the interview on the uscis site, it was saying that the last touch on the AOS was 8/10 however today it has updated to say that the AOS was touched on 8/17, no change in progress (still at the acceptance stage, the first blue dot) but a touch over 2 weeks ago that was only registered today....wierd.

Maybe also contact your Congressman's immigration office and ask them to make a congressional inquiry on your behalf.

I was also approved two days again and I was hoping there would be a change to document card production,up till now nothing seems to changed at all.I have to check my congratulations letter given to me again and again.The IO told me many times that we are approved.I know I sould desperate and anxious.I just want to see positivity on my case from the beginning to the end.

Let keep on praying.This is where we have to be patient.We have been approved, and we will get it soon.Sometime the website is not being updated to everybody's case.

I'm sure everything will be ok and you will have your green card.

We had a successful interview today in spite of me. After compiling, sorting, punching, printing and worrying about the questions that would be asked and if I didn't take enough pictures and the fact that I left my last two months pay deposits at the house it would have been totally quick and easy if I would have just shut up.

We got there in time to see the end of what appeared to be a Stokes interview as the young lady what very quiet and nervous by the entry door and was called in after about 15 minutes of waiting and 10 minutes later she and what appeared to be her husband left with the IO stating "We'll get back with you".

Our IO lead us into the back office after taking ID's. After the swearing in and cell phone being placed in its own designated box IO started right in with Yi. After starting the questions he took the I-94 out of her passport and kept asking questions. I watched this and thought we were so easily in. First question to her was when did you get married. Of course she answered correctly and I tried to tell her she was wrong and gave some total BS date that I still don't know why I said that date. The pen to paper went into overdrive and the questions were on. I still don't know what I was thinking, or not thinking as the case may be. As Yi said I should have just sat there and looked pretty - funny after the fact.

Questions all addressed to Yi:

When were you married? What city were you born in? Parents first names, individually. Do you have children together? Does your husband have children? Your first marriage? Are you currently working? What is your correct work? Do you have authorization to work? Took her EAD looked at it and kept it, a better sign after the first two minutes. The "Have you ever ...." questions. He mumbled one other one that I didn't hear but Yi did and she answered and I said something and he then asked me if she apply for me or what.

After this he shifted to me. Do you still work at the same place? He ask if I had children and if this was my first marriage. If I brought a copy of the divorce decree. I did make another copy and put it in my Spouse qualification folder. This will make the fourth copy of the decree that they have now. I added child support payment records. He spent very little time on this and then wanted to see the relationship material. Had it indexed from the deed to our house to the inital credit card accounts I had her on while she was still in China. He went over each one of these line by line. After this he said that he was approving the petition and he changed the date on his stamp, stamped her passport, stamped the 485 in the file and printed out a congratulations you are approved letter. I noticed the passport stamp did have IR6 on it but made sure to ask again that it was IR not CR and he pointed out the IR6 designation. Told him we would see him in 10 years and we left. I still don't know how I missed our wedding date.

Congrats! Sounds like maybe you became nervous and had an excited utterance of incorrect information. Thank you for sharing the details of your interview.

Well, I guess I wouldnt be needing to send another medical test result SINCE we RECEIVED the WELCOME LETTER today through our mail!!! We'll be looking forward to receiving the green card within 3 weeks!! Thanks for everyone's help.

Glad to hear that was resolved and Congrats on the good news!

3. I have TWO potential job opps that might come through. BOTH are somewhat promising (you never know with these things) and that means....IF all goes WELL...I COULD TURN IN MY RESIGNATION EITHER TODAY OR BY TUESDAY NEXT WEEK!

BIG Shout Out to God for making this an incredibly challenging, but unforgettable year so far. Milestones: Got married, got a new place, got a green card, a TOUGH job where I learned a LOT, and now (pretty soon) a NEW job. THANK YOU!

YAY! PASS ON THE POSITIVITY. whoo hoo!

Congrats to SOULEY & jwife!!

OMG you guys, I'm soooo happy!

I checked the mail today (just for the hell of it) and lo and behold, there was a letter from the USDHS, and inside was my Reschedule Notice! Our interview is now scheduled for September 22 @1pm... I couldn't believe that they could fit us in so soon! I was worried that we wouldn't get the letter until October... so this was a pleasant surprise. Sigh, I feel like I can breathe now.

He was discharged today and is doing much better! Thank God

THANKS EVERYONE, WHAT A JOURNEY HAS THIS BEEN.

I HOPE EVERYONE GET THEIR PERMANENT RESIDENCY SOON. :thumbs:

OK, so after the AOS interview (8/10) with no clear decision given although we feel it went well and the IO was telling us how long it takes to get the green card, and no site updates since 8/1,0 we finally got touches today on both the I485 and I130, no change in status but at least they were touched, hoping it is good news.

[Colleens 40]

Sorry about the biometrics letter. Have you tried scheduling an info pass?

I had a service request logged with USCIS and the response was that there currently is no capacity at my local ASC. I would have to go to the field office for an infopass, which is a 6+ hr drive one way, so it is a long way to go to have them tell me the same thing.

[-Marie- 11]

I received my EAD in the mail today! :dance:

[-Marie- 11]

I just got my future boss on the phone. I'll start my new job this coming Tuesday! I'm so excited!

Now, I wonder how long it's gonna take to get the green card.

Great news! Lets hope it won't be long until we see the GC in hand post from you!

So they are behind?

I would say so....I have been waiting over 3 months for my biometrics appointment letter!!!!

That's a tragedy!

A few years ago AOS used to take up to a year or more to process. Some people were processing in 3 years! While AOS has become more efficient in most areas it looks like it's still processing at the older rate in areas like where you live unfortunately.
