April 2012 AOS Filers

[wifi 6]

I received the paper copy of my interview notice in the mail today.

I was slightly concerned by the second page which gives instructions to bring court-certified copies of any arrests, convictions, etc. until I figured that it was probably just a standard enclosure and not specific to me (I have never been arrested, detained, charged or convicted of anything, anywhere; not even a parking ticket).

That's a standard notice -- not specific to you. Nothing to be concerned about.

Hi Guys,

I am waiting for my EAD and Interview. I am getting a little concerned as we are having a 'wedding' ceremony (we got married legally in March) in the UK on the 28th July and I have a flight booked to the UK between 21st July and August 4th. Does anyone know if you can change the interview date if it falls between these dates?

Thanks

PD

Wow, so many of you are on the fast track!! Lucky YOU!!!

I have drawn the 'slower than molasses' card. I've checked the timeline stats, and it's likely I will get a bite in about two or three months.

So, please don't forget me as I limp along, dealing with one of the slowest USCIS offices in the country....
