Yep, the next step is waiting for your bio appointment letter. Shouldn't come in more than two months. Then you'll get some news on your AP and EAD (you need your bio appointment to get your EAD), and then your case will either get transfered to California, or you'll get an interview date... I don't think there's any rime or reason as to who gets an interview and who doesn't... Out of the 8 of us who have already filed, 6 got an interview date...

Mine only took about two weeks from the time they got it, I sent mine UPS Standard, but USPS would work just as good too:)I only sent mine UPS because the office is open later. Just so you know you do

Usually takes a week or two, but for some people it's taking a little longer depending where there service area will be for biometrics. Some of the service centers are overly booked so they might jus

I wore jeans to the interview.

Life Is Too Short,

Break The Rules, Forgive Quickly,

Kiss Slowly, Love Truly,

Laugh Uncontrollably,

And Never Regret Anything

That Made You Smile.

Life May Not Be The Party

We Hoped For,

But While We ' re Here, We Should Dance...

We both wore jeans. Clean ones, clean shoes and nice top.

Today is Vero's interview... she is probably done right now all excited and laughing at herself about how easy it was haha.

Brenda - I have no idea why we had an interview because we were approved before we arrived. I think they just need to have a certain number of interviews.

See profile for our K-1 Visa/AOS story from 2010-2011Apparently we love USCIS/NVC so much we left and are doing it again! This time giving IR-1 a whirl. Rock on immigrators.

07/09/2014 sent in IR-1 packet to Chicago Lockbox

07/16/2014 NOA1

07/17/2014 check cashed by USCIS

10/01/2014 found out we are expecting baby #2 June 2015!

12/15/2014 NOA2

12/30/2014 Case received by NVC

03/23/2015 Received Case and Inv # from NVC after many calls and bogus excuses.

03/24/2015 AOS payment accepted by NVC

04/09/2015 IV payment finally accepted by NVC after the set the wrong fee and took weeks to correct it.

*many more delays thanks to the agency processing my fingers prints to the RCMP and the post office losing our mail*

05/20/2015 Packet sent to NVC via UPS, eta May 28.

06/16/2015 Baby #2 due - homebirth in Scottsdale, AZ

Yes, you're right, she probably is marvelling at how easy it was! Guess I shouldn't laugh too hard 'cause I'll surely be in the same stressed out boat when it's my turn :)

And yeah, I imagine it is something like them filling their quotas for interviews or some other arbitrary reason we haven't thought of!

Hi everyone!!! Good news! Card Production Ordered! :dance: BUT, it was not stress-free believe me! Here's what happened:

So we got to the place a good hour before 9am. The place was actually pretty busy. We went in for our interivew at around 9:10am. I was a nervous mess because the people right in front of us had been seperated, and I thought, great... But we were interviewed by a really nice woman, not overly friendly, but nice. She started by asking for our IDs. I then had to show her the interview letter because for some reason it had the wrong city on it, but it got to me fine... It's like they wrote down the voting district instead of the city. But my EAD and AP had the right one... So anyways, she went through the list, asking me if I was a prostitute, a terrorist, etc, etc. Then she asked us to show her what we had brought as evidence. I showed her out tax transcript for 2010, a letter from Chris' 401K stating I am the main beneficiary, all our statements from our joint account, the letter from the vet, and our pictures. She looked through the pictures very quickly, and then asked us how we met. We talked for a little bit, and she was laughing with us and smiling. So I thought, yeah! this is going great! She also explained the procedure to remove the conditions. Then, she says "I have seen everything I need, I will let you know if I need further information in the next few weeks". I was like WHAT??????? Aren't you going to say approved or something? She took my I-94 but not my EAD and AP. When I was reading reviews for the office in Norfolk, several people were saying they were not approved on the spot, but by the time they got home, they had receive an e-mail for card production... So I was OK I guess, but you can imagine that I really was a nervous mess!

So we get home, and I'm checking the e-mails every 5 minutes while Christopher sings his own version of a Rolling Stones song, quote "Help me out, my butt cheeks are burning". This is what happens when you operate on 5 hours of sleep! I could have hit him! :lol: But then I checked them again (the e-mails) and I got the a message saying that on March 10th the card production was ordered! :dance:

Oh, and I asked her just before we left about the possible government shut-down. And she said that USCIS is independently funded so if it does come to that, they are still going to be working. For those of you who were wondering.

VERY relieved! :dance:

Congrats Vero :dance:

So I have a question. If we send our AOS through UPS is that a courier? or the same as USPS? I am trying to figure out if we should be sending it to the PO box or to the other address.

Life is like a roller coaster. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

For UPS deliveries i believe it's this addy you send it to...USCIS ATTN:FBAS, 131 South Dearborn- 3rd floor, Chicago, IL 60603-5517...I sent it to this one by mistake. I sent my package with USPS Express, but it ended up geting processed faster anywho...I think it all ends up going to the same place. Double check the addy..
