August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey

Veronik · March 23, 2011

Mumm... I don't know about the file date... Did you go to H&R Block or something? What about a different office? Or company? We were a mess too when it was time to file the taxes... Maybe ask before you make an appointment to have someone that deals and knows about nonresident alien tax stuff...

Or you could try to do it on your own, but be prepared for quite the hassle :bonk:

Do you have to do an itemized return?

Good luck!

Looks like almost everyone has their GC now!

Should we revive this thread when we start to file ROC? I'd like to see how the "August crew" makes out with that.

Awesome idea! B-)

Hey guys - I just received a transfer notice - my case has been transferred to California! I still can't quite believe it. I'm shaking! I did not expect that at all, so fast, we just filed Feb. 28!

So that means that we don't have to go for an interview right? Just go for my bio appt and wait for them to notify us?

Congrats Brenda2010! :dance: Yep, you're interview-free! Just go to your bio appointment like scheduled. In some cases, some people's file is returned to the local office and then they're either approved without interview or with an interview, but I think you're good to go! :thumbs: Congrats again! That was quick!

Oh! Forgot! Good luck with your upcoming interview Ken and Kate! It's already time! March went by SO QUICK!!!

Thanks everyone, so excited! Still don't quite believe it...got the NOAs, the bio appt, but no 'touches' as yet so all very surprising!

Veronik · March 28, 2011

Good luck tomorrow ken and kate, let us know how it went when you get a chance! :thumbs:

Good! I bet you got a whooping return, didn't you!?! After paying so much in fees for visas and what not, it's nice to get so much back!!!

:lol: You'll be OK! It's very stress-free (and that's coming from ME!)

knnth · March 29, 2011

Thanks for the wishes Vero and Chris and all! Green Card is in production!

You were right Vero, it was VERY stress-free! I'll be writing up a full review later, but there's not much to say other than IT WAS EASY!

Had fun joking with co-workers "I'm one step closer to becoming one of you!". Kate and I will be celebrating in 2 days, when my first paycheck comes in, and then probably a week later when our tax return comes in (sorry we didn't chime in with all the tax talk, we had the luxury of being lazy and having Kate's dad do them! )

It's an amazing feeling to know and see how far we've come, both Kate and I, and our whole August group. WHAT A JOURNEY!

Veronik · March 30, 2011

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :dance: So happy for you guys!!! You're right, it's great to see everyone's progress, and I'm so glad we stayed in touch through all of it, it made it all that much easier!!!

Let me know when you received your card in the mail, you'll see it's soooo fancy! Congrats again! Celebrate! :thumbs:
