March 2012 AOS filers

[jdh 103]

Hi! I hope everyone is ok . I have a question about the stuff i need to take with me the day of the interview.

In the notification for the interview it says:

Federal Income Tax returns and W-2'S OR certified IRS printouts for the most recent tax year.

My husband files taxes from TURBOTAX and he has pdf files. Is it ok that he print those pdf files that turbotax gives him and take that to the interview?????

Thanks.

Ale.

Hey there, that is what I brought along with w2s for them.

I checked my status today on its website, and finally my EAD is in production! It was such a loooooooooooooooooooooong time. I have not gotten any e-mail from them yet, but I am relieved.

We r at the nj DMV and these ppl suck! First thing they said before checking my husbands documents was ....We need to check with ice for your status! I was like what are I talking bout we have the EAD and the stupid letter if came with! Any who after speaking with a manager, he is now taking the written test! Hopefully can take the driving soon after!

Hi. This happened to me too last week. They said they need more info from USCIS. I gave my EAD, SSS and all the requirements. I came back today hoping I can get it but still the same, more info needed from USCIS. Doe anyone know what this means? I'm starting to worry. I guess I will have to wait until after my interview next week.

Well my interview is in the morning. I hope it goes off without a hitch. My wife will be nuts if something goes wrong.

Let's talk worst case scenarios here? If they don't like something in the morning, like let's say they don't like the fact that I filed an extension for 2011 taxes, or let's say I am missing a document or piece of paper they want, what will happen? Will I get an RFE and a delay? A chance to produce said document and drop it off later? A rejection and appeal?

I know that MikeX and srarios2008 have expressed worries. I'm hoping to hear updates from you both, preferably with good news!

They can RFE you even at the interview. Let's say you had submitted a copy of your child's birth certificate and for some reason didn't take an original certified copy to the interview. If they asked to see it and you didn't have it then they would issue you an RFE then and there for it. You would submit it through the mail in the normal way (you may also be able to hand it in at an Infopass but I am not sure about that).

Good luck, I don't think you will have any problems (as most genuine relationships do not).

[AtariBaby 17]

Thanks, Hypnos! Glad you're here.

Do I have to take a photocopy of the i-485 and I-130 we submitted? I'm suddenly realizing I don't seem to have a signed copy of the I-485 lying around.

Hey Chris!

Thanks for ur answer. So u took the Turbotax pdf files?

[Hypnos 6,578]

You shouldn't need to take copies of any of your petitions. If USCIS manages to lose those then they would be approaching a whole new level of incompetence.

I made such a big fuss over hubby's birthcert and they didn't look at it or any of my documents at all except the ones I handed to them which was the

Joint bank acct

Lease

Life insurance

Military document of bah housing

And to be quite honest I think that's all I gave him besides him looking at my scrapbooks and albums he actually looked at all of it im so happy he took the time to appreciate the details and wrk I put into it.

To Further explain my interview a bit when I sat down he said raise your right hand

IO: do you swear to tell th truth?

Us: yes

We sat down can I have your Id's and (looking at me) any EaD drivers Liscnse Ssn i94. I handed over everything cept DL

Io: do you have DL?

Me: no sir

Io: okay no prob

Then io looked at the ids seemed to make notes of it and updated my Ssn on my papers

Then onto verifying info..

Io: your name is so and so?

Me: yes

Io: so u came here on..(flips through documents)..1994 oh you were a youngster!

Me: (giggles) yes sir!

Io: (small talk) so you did all your schooling here then!

Me:yes

Io: who did u come with?

Me: my mom and brother ahh I see makes sense (nods)

(turns to us)

Io: you both live on so and so?

Both: (rigt away) yes

Io: (looking at me) state your mothers name

Me: answered

Io : state fathers name

Me answered

Io: I'm going to ask you a series of questions

Io: are u a communist blah blah etc

(was like 5 no questions)

Io: okay I'll take anything you brought for me I'll look at your albums while you get the paperwork

He looked through 3 albums! So excited bc I worked so much on them over the yrs! I'm glad it came in handy. Then I handed him

Lease

Life insurance

Military bah paper

Bank acct

Med insurance contract

Only thing he handed bak was the med contract guess he didn't like that one enough ^.^

The rest papers he kept

Io: ( to me) your phone number is still 1234567

Me: yes

Then he went on and said u guys know the 2yr rule? And isaid yes and he said great but I'll explain it to u again so u can sign this paper so you can head on out...

While we were signing he was making small talk about so did u guys leave early or left yesterday and spent the night? And we explained no we left yesterday and spent the night at nearby hotel and after this appt we were going down south to visit our families and make use of this trip and he was like oh definantly tyvm ..and we shook hands and walked out and hubby and I high five ourselves... Funny bc hubby was barely acknowledged lol

Also on the road to Jacksonville we realized hubby didn't pack wedding ring >.< but thankfully that wasn't an issue at all!! Wooooooo
