August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey

Any news?

Nope, getting a little nervous - wonder what I do if I don't receive one? Weird. Will not freak out for another week. Well, will try not to freak out.

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 just be waiting to book more appointments. I noticed that the Philadelphia area is taking longer then most. If it doesn't arrive within 2-3 weeks I would call USCIS and ask why you haven't gotten a appointment date yet, they will probably put in a service request for you to get a appointment date.

Very wise

Thanks J & J, that calmed me down a bit - and lo and behold, received it the same day you posted/April 10...scheduled for April 30, yayyyy! Now lets hope they can read my damn prints so I don't have to go 50 times to get them done!!

Glad you got your Bio appointment date in the mail, I hope these dates are right, looks like people are waiting more in the 8 to 9 month wait right now, But it seems if you get randomly picked for a interview you get your card way faster. At least the waiting game isn't as bad as when we were doing the Fiancé visa. There is even a chance we could apply for citizenship before we are even approved for the 10 year green card..heh I guess we will seeee!!!

Really...8-9 months, wow. Yeah, as much as I hate waiting at least I've gotten used to it, not so stressed as I used to be, just have to be patient, it'll happen.

So citizenship - need to bone up on that. For some reason thought we had to be in the country for 3 years, and have our 10 year green card before we could apply. Will have to revisit the guides. Thanks for the heads up!

So we have been bad and just didn't get around to putting our package together and time has just flew by, so we are late now. I'm not sure what to send. We don't have our mortgage in both our name because Chris bought our house long before we got married and before we were even engaged. All our bills are in his name. We do have a bank account together, life insurance polices and I am on his health insurance. What secondary evidence did you all submit?

It says to send in birth certificates of children born into the marriage. Our son was born in 2008, do we send in his birth abroad or not? Im not really sure what "born into the marriage" means. Does it mean any children born after we got married or any children that we are both parents to?
