Thanks, DebLogs! I know! I still wonder what happened! Why had I not been scheduled! I called USCIS many times after my biometrics and they told me to wait 4 months! What can I do?! I told the higher rep my husband's email, so that we will be receiving the interview letter quicker than by mailing. Nothing comes yet.

Well, now you know what goes on there...Next time cut them no slack and be on them till you get your interview letter :yes:

Thank you Mariana D.A for your words. I called again the other day and the rep said I was demanding.... he got angry, but anyway, he transferred me to a higher rep. I told the higher rep that the previous person said I was demanding. He was laughing at the other side (although silently, but I could tell.) He asked my last name, then said I was ready to be scheduled for an interview on Aug.28th! He did a service request for me and said call USCIS if I haven't received an interview letter within 10-14 days. Then he said, Good luck, Mrs.xxxxxxx. Finger crossed!

Dewave, I am sorry to hear your news. But let's hope and pray that you will receive an interview letter ASAP! Let's affirm: I receive my interview letter within days!

Congratulations to all who have received GC and got approved on the interview!!!!!!!! Good luck to everyone who is preparing the interview!

Thanks for your suppout, May God bless you all! Summer

Your welcome summer!! Wow...so if you were scheduled on August 28th, I suppose it might have been scheduled for the end of September...so you totally missed it, right? See, with these guys we always have to be on top of them...its a truly a shame!! So did they reschedule it for you already?

You might wanna try and get the original. It clearly states that on the interview notice unless you are ok with a RFE at the interview. Also, they might not ask for it but its always better to be overly prepared than to say Had I known.

Thanks guys!

Unfortunately, my in-laws are unwell and can't make it to the locker in time. We have her US Passport though. So, I'm going to have to take a shot. For those who've had the interviews already, did they ask for original birth certificates and naturalization certificate? Thanks much.

I don't have my original birth certificate, and I only submitted copies with the filing and brought copies to the interview. I wasn't asked for the originals at all during the interview. In fact, I wasn't even asked for all the immigration stuff they told to bring like I-94, copy of passport etc etc. They didn't even ask to see my husband's original birth certificate that we actually had with us.

Thanks guys...really appreciate it. Looks like we may be able to get her BC... 50-50. I don't have my original BC either but I'm downloading a copy from the govt website online so I have the closest thing to the original.

Both of us will be carrying our passports and Drivers Licenses.

You're more than good to go :-) Except, you might want to move mountains to get those originals. Part of the interview is to verify copies of documents already sent in...idk, let all the rest weigh in ?
