The interview notice landed in both mine and my lawyers mailbox today!

It was daunting to read the list of stuff to bring at first :blink: , but then I got my lawyers email about what to bring (it made me feel better). :thumbs:

My hubby and I will start prepping our interview binder this upcoming weekend to make sure we are ready for Feb 1st!

Wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR and hoping that the new year will bring you good tidings (aka interview notices from USCIS ASAP)! :dance:

looks like everyone is making some progress except for me... I am still waiting for my biometrics letter :( I rang them when I hit 30 days and got a letter on Saturday (sent to me that same day I rang so they email the request for me)saying that I am still within the processing time... I see no reason for me not getting the appointment yet. I was surprised to get a letter that quickly though, looks like they are trying hard now...the waiting continuous for me :(

Checked my I-485 status just now and it shows 'Testing and Interview'. Exactly a week after I went in for my biometrics appointment. So I think I should be receiving my interview appointment within the next couple of weeks. Haven't received any RFEs yet.

Has anyone seen this? Implementation of New USCIS Immigrant Fee Feb. 1

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=ad70f58f7529b310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

It looks like this fee will apply to us because we most likely are to receive our LPR card after Feb 1.

It looks like that applies if you're applying for AOS when you are out of he country such as when you are doing a CR1

Pinklight -

I don't think this applies to us - I don't see anywhere saying that they are going to retro-actively try to collect the fee.

It looks like it only applies for those who get Consular Processing outside the US starting Feb 1.
