[blessedwoman 0]

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is fine. Just want to share how my interview went by today. Appointment was 7;15am was there by 6.30am .A Japanese man is his 60s called my name at 7.30am ,my boys and I went in his office where he greeted us and made a comment that I have good looking kids ,that made me relaxed as I was so nervous. He made us swear to tell the truth, and then he took 3 folders one for each one of us. He apologized that he will take long as he had a lot of papers to go through. He didn’t ask me for any documents apart from the medicals i-693 and he asked if my husband and I live on the same address which I said no as we are separated. That was it he asked my kids if they like school and what they want to be when they grow up, most question where about my country and all. The he excused himself, left the office came back after 3 minutes with a stamp that he stamped on the papers in our files I could see APPROVE almost jumped from my chair. Then he typed us the approval and welcome letter ,He said he will order our cards before the day ends. Everyone one waiting for approval and interview I am wishing you all the best and take all documents just in case you are asked.

LadyG, congratulations to you and your kids on your GC approval. God will bless us exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think. I am so happy for you. That is the same way I feel when the IO stamped my papers approved. You will get your card in a week. I got email this week that I should expect my card in 30days, but I know it is in the mail. Give God the glory and the honor because he is the greatest, taken us through rough times.

Inpeace, don't worry I got the same update when I send a letter to extent the prima facie. Within the 60days I got the approval notice. Just trust God and have faith. It will work out for you.

Murid2010, what's going on with your case? have you gotten your interview date as yet?

Tuck, please let us know how your interview went. I know it is coming up shortly. Don't be nervous, you have passed the worst which is getting the I360 approval. You will be approved for the GC.

LiveUrLife, I am sorry to hear about what happen with your mail, hope that will sort out so that you ca get your approval and move on with your life...

Yusila, how are things going for you?

Best of luck to everyone on this forum,stay BLESSED!!!

[ladyg 10]

Stillhere I think those interview letters are general letters they send to everyone that is going for interview thats what I received too.But I went with my 2 kids who were adjusting status too.You dont need to go with him.The IO didnt ask me any question conerning my husband.It shall be well.Is your lawyer going with you ?I didnt have a lawyer so went by myself.

Yes I'm going to the interview with my lawyer but I don't kno how much she is going to charge me. The reason why I'm bringing my lawyer is bcuz I have long history with our local office.

Hello everyone, I hope everybody is doing ok. Congras to those who got approved lately. It has been a long time. I was going back and forth with uscis about my case. Those of you who don't kno me, my vawa case got approved back in June and removal terminated back in august. For some reason I never got any interview notice since the judge terminate my case so I took an info to find out what was going on that was back in the middle of sept. . At the infopass,i was told that my case is seating at the record room. The lady told me that normal when the judge terminate ur case thy send it to record room, i said what? But long story short thy told me not to worry about it that I'm going to receive an interview in 2 wks, that was like around the begin of sept.. 2 wks passed nothing, took another infopass.guess what I was told thy sent my case back to lee summit supposedly cuz the case was adjucated already, I told Them i never received no interview no green card nothing. I was told to wait for another 2 weeks. for them to order my case bck, they finally got it back sept.26. Weird thing thy sent me fingerprint notice that had my old i-485 receipt number, not the one file with the vawa, and also my lawyer told me yesterday about the interview notice for oct.27 @ 8AM. My question is why did thy send me fingerprint for my old case that was already denied? Any response will b welcome. Good luck to everyone

hey i think it must be good news since they sent to you the interview date, hope that is what they mean.

well anyone here , what is the difference of fingerprint and intervew? it that the same thing or it was different? I applied last august 2010 , i didn't get any fingerprint notice, haha,,,, i saw we have good news almost come from everyone every week , haliluya. hope i will get my soon

Hey Lucy, I think you only have to do fingerprints if you apply for i485/i765. Interview is after your vawa has been approved...

Hi All,

Been following all your posts and finding comfort reading about people in the same boat as me. I just hit 5 months since I filed for VAWA so I guess the waiting continues. How come the time line on USCIS says 5 months yet it takes longer? Is this bad news if its over the timeline?

Hello giveusfree, vawa processing time can be tricky.Some get thier approval in 3 months,some 5 months ,some like me was after 7 months,some been waiting for a long time.Its not bad news or good news either .One need to have patience and not to worry becuase it can cause more stress and anxiety than what you have already gone through.

Yulisa good to hear from you and that you doing well.You in my prayers your interview is around the corner.

Lusymiss did you file i-485 and i-360 @ the same time.I had filed for vawa and i-485 at the same time and within 30 days I received a letter to go for fingerprints. Fingerprints appointment letter and interview letter are 2 different things.Wish you all the best and everyone.
