Well you're better than me. Cause I didn't send a copy of my i-94. I lost it and didn't get a replacement, so I guess I'm going to have an RFE too then:-(

I keep checking every day on the USCIS to see if I have an RFE. I don't trust the text alerts!

The only thing I'm really worried about is something someone mentioned on another thread about being denied AOS because USCIS say that he left (his airline logged him as leaving the US.)

I only cancelled my ticket the day before as I didn't plan on staying here at all so I hope my cancellation showed up. I did it by phone and didn't get a reference number or anything. We shall see, eh? The worst case scenario is that I have to back to the UK and do CR-1. Not the end of the world but a little frustrating!

11/29/12 - AOS Interview in Atlanta - 10 minutes long and approved on the spot.

ROC in 2014!

I read that too and I also didn't cancelled my flight. But they are many holes in that post. I mean, if you leave the country you need to present your i-94 at departure. If s/he has it, means they didn't left, right? Also, you will have a stamp in your passport from entering the other country.

Honestly, some bases for approval/denial (for what I read) are ridiculous.

I'm still going to attempt a walk in tomorrow. Hubby has the day off work and I can go while he take care of the twins. Maybe I should go to the mall too and come back at night for dinner. Anyone would like to join me? hahaha

and BTW, I found the RFE on the website. No emails or texts so far

You're right - at least it wasn't a denial!

I read that forum too, and it worried me at first but now I've let it go! We didn't cancel our flight either - return tickets for both of us. I have actually never called and canceled tickets - and I have changed my mind about coming home from SA or him staying here a few extra days a lot over the years. It didn't even occur to me it might be a problem. I can't imagine anyone not being able to come up with tangible proof that you didn't leave - I agree there are holes in that story.

I'm thinking Friday after his biometrics we take a deserved break on Bourbon Street...but shopping would be nice too :lol:

Concurrent filing of I-130/I-485:

06/28/2008 - Met my future husband in South Africa - love at first sight! Lots of visits in between -

04/29/2011 - Married in Mississippi

06/12/2011 - Moved to South Africa to (finally) live with my husband - issued SA conditional residence permit

05/23/2012 - Came home to visit family (on B-2) - was offered a dream job in July (2 weeks before we were to go home) and we couldn't turn it down! It took us ~1 month to get everything we needed here and finish paperwork.

08/20/2012 - Day 0 - I-485/I-130/I-765/I-131 package mailed to Chicago via FedEx

08/28/2012 - Day 7 - E-mail and text message notification received for 4 forms

08/31/2012 - Day 10 - Received hard copies of NOA1 (x4)

09/02/2012 - Day 12 - Received biometrics appointment notice; scheduled for 09/14/2012

09/13/2012 - Day 23 - Received hard copy of RFE (dated 09/07/2012) for unabridged birth certificate

09/14/2012 - Day 24 - Biometrics appointment in New Orleans

10/17/2012 - Day 57 - Interview notice mailed (received hard copy the 19th) for November 19th. We just moved to California that week so interview is being rescheduled.

10/20/2012 - Day 60 - Online status shows EAD card production

12/14/2012 - Day 101- Interview in Fresno, CA; approved

12/28/2012 - Day 115- Green card arrived in the mail!!!

The biggest problem I have is that if the USCIS do assert that I left (depends on my airline updating their records) then I can't appeal because I was visiting on the VWP. Tanja is in the same situation as me I think?

I was visiting from a 3rd country where I had a work visa so they would have had to stamp me back in for me to have been on the flight anyway - which they obviously didn't!

I would try a walk-in early, but it's about 90 minutes away by car. A long way to get refused at the door!

My dates haven't changed; my I-485 is on acceptance, my I-130 is on initial review, and my I-765 is on initial review also.

11/29/12 - AOS Interview in Atlanta - 10 minutes long and approved on the spot.

ROC in 2014!

Goodness, that's scary!! Made me check my online status also.... nothing so far but I know anything is possible and an RFE could come at any time!! Gesi never left either, we didn't cancel the flight. I have never cancelled before so didn't think to this time. We just bought a new ticket or paid to rebook. But that is a good point about the initial I-94 and passport stamp. I saw that post as well but didn't read it. I try to stay away from the negative as it tends to make me a worry wart! lol

Tomorrow is our original biometrics appt which was done Aug 31st so hopefully we will hear something soon!

What did it say? I have just been checking the last date of action, mine all say 8/17/12, no change in anything since I originally signed up online after receiving my receipt numbers. Is there anything specific we should be looking at? See, here I am worrying I am missing or overlooking something.... :/
