So I was looking at the official USCIS timelines and it shows ROC takes 6 months, so does that mean there will be a period of time when our gc will expire and we can't travel or work? Or does EAD and AP apply here as well?

the I-751 and accompanying documents are mailed to either the USCIS California or Vermont Service Centers, depending on your state of residence.you will receive a notice of receipt for the form stating that "Your alien card is extended one year- employment and travel authorized. keep the receipt with your green card.

in case you were still wondering , i found this inf online .

I've been SO busy with work I've had little time to come check in on everyone's status.... as for us... we are still waiting for a reschedule of our interview. Work is a welcomed distraction... but it's always in the back of my mind WHEN we are going to hear from them.

So, my interview is in two weeks and I am already stressed. Any advice on how to deal with it?

Discoverusa, think of it like this... The interviewing officer are human too, just like us. They use the restroom, blow their noses and fart just

like everybody else!!! Lol!! Remember this to calm your nerves in the interview room. And another way to stop stressing is that you know all you have to do is tell the truth, there's nothing to hide. I think they are very well trained on how to separate the honest ones from those who are not. You know in your heart what is the truth. And they will see that.

I was nervous beforehand because its going into the unknown. It's impossible to predict what questions they were going to ask us. When we walked in we went through airport style security, and the officers there were very friendly and funny. I think from then on it calmed me. Also sitting waiting in the waiting area I thought to myself... There's nothing more i can do, I have my binder full of documents and an album full of photos. I have everything with me, I can't change what I have with me at this point, so this is it, this is us. Whatever happened from then on was out of our control. So I just relaxed.

You've probably already thought of this, but please dress smartly, as if going for a job interview or visiting a court house. I feel it's a sign of respect. I can't tell you how many people I seen in our building wearing very casual clothes, as if they weren't taking it seriously.

Good luck!!

Thank you Kpo87 for that advice. I am not worried about our evidence since we have plenty. Like you said, It's the unknown that makes me stressed.

My husband makes fun of me whenever I am on VJ website. He's like: "Are you talking to your family again?" I know it sounds cheesy, but it sort of feels like family here. Just a group of people who understands and supports each other.

Thank you guys.
