July 2012 AOS Filers

[akihon 129]

I just got an update on my i-485 saying my interview is scheduled for October 24th at National Benefits Center...Hope I don't have to go to Missouri for that??? I live in NYC.

Also, my i-130, EAD and Advanced Parole cases have not been updated. Is this normal?

thanks guys.

no you won't have to go to Missouri. My husband thought that too, but the interview notice had a local office address on it

my 130 and 131 case statuses haven't been updated either. I'm not really worried. I think someone on another thread said their 130 case status was updated immediately after the interview, but their 485 was still not.

I would think this is normal.

Card production ordered for EAD&AP

I'm wondering why my AP hasn't had any movement on it yet. I don't really care if it gets rejected, but I'm wondering ...

Hi! I just found this group! Im glad that things are moving fast for july fillers! I filled on july 12 keep waiting:)

[Andrea&Henry 311]

I was reading some of the post and some people here, filled their AoS after I did, and they already are getting updates in their cases, card productions notifications and interview dates. Dont get me wrong, Im happy for all of you, but why mine is so delate???? I just realized that my biometric took too long ( almost a month and a half later) when must of you had your biometrics taken 2 weeks later. Do I have to guide my timeline according with the USCIS website? Or they are mailing stuff without updating the cases? Thanksss

From your timeline, I see that you are applying for a K-1 visa, we here are applying directly for the green card, I assume the process time is different from your case.

This is the thread for July filers adjusting from Work, Student and Tourist visas.

Here is where you need to be for adjusting from K-1: http://www.visajourn...ly-2012-filers/

Also, the day you sent the application is not the same as the day they accepted and processed it. the date you actually filed is the date on your NOA(s).

Yea, but it's still kinda different than what we are doing here. You probably won't have an interview coming.

hey folks

I did my interview on Tuesday sept 18 and was approved on the spot! it was 9.45am appointment, we reached about 10 min before due to unexpected traffic, anyway we went through security checkpoints, take off shoe, belt etc, gave in our appointment letter and ID, they checked it and gave it back to us, sent us to a waiting room, where we waited about 20 min before we got called in, i was hoping a female would call us but instead it was a stern looking man, but i started to feel at ease when he saw my pregnant stomach, and started making jokes, that he scared of pregnant ladies, because one nearly had baby in his office, lol, the interview was very short and easy, lasted about 10min, he swore us in and looked me dead in the eyes, he didnt even look at hubby, then he took the i94, and also asked for the EAD but i told him i didnt receive it as yet, he asked me back the same questions on the i485, such as address, my name, DOB, my mothers name etc, as a matter of fact he didnt even ask question he read what was on the form just to verify the info, then he asked the yes/no questions, he did the same thing with hubby from his i130 form, he also asked hubby about what he did for a living, and he asked me if i worked also, only other question he asked was how long have we been together, he then ask for evidence, we gave him the lease, life insurance and bank account statements, rent receipts, thats all we had, he took them and put them on the file then he told us that he was gonna approve us, we were so happy i almost screamed, then he saw our albums and said let me look at a few pics, he just barely glanced through and gave it back to us, i doubt if he saw anything, he explained the ROC process, and that was it! we packed our stuff up and he escorted us out of his office, as soon as we were out of his sight me and hubby start jumping up and down like we were kids, lol, our journey has finally ended for now, after all the stress and worries, its really a nerve racking process

Thanks to visa journey and its members who have helped me along the way, i have gotten a lot of info from this site along with reading instructions, we didnt even used a lawyer, we did all the paperworks ourselves, we did a few free consultations with a couple lawyers but we realised that all they were going to do was to fill out the forms and send them off, something me and hubby could do ourselves for free! thanks again guys, and i will continue to offer my assistance on here.
