i-130 Approved (Family based) but not AOS and now married to a USC

[Skull 0]

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've replied with an update which I do apologize for taking so long. I was very naive to the whole process and spent a lot of time researching and speaking with a couple of attorneys regarding my case. During that interim, I've received additional information and instructions from one of the attorney's which turn out to be incorrect but I've pretty much got everything straighten out now and waiting for my interview at the end of the month.

Just to be clear, the earlier posts where I thought I've claimed to be a USC on a few forms was incorrect. I'm not sure why I thought I may have made any claim but I've confirmed that this was not the case. For e.g.. The documents that I used to obtain my DL was my SSN, State ID and international DL so there was no way for me to make such a claim. I was able to locate the original documents from the DMV which substantiate this. My I-9 form was the old version as was checked as US national and not USC which from my understanding doesn't go against you. Nothing either with my mortgage especially since I've recently done a refi and making sure it was not checked as a USC. I've also received a jury duty letter back in July which I opt out by stating that I'm not a USC so this shouldn't be an issue for me.

We prepared our AOS package ourselves to save some money and then had an attorney reviewed it during our consultation. He suggested a few changes which also included an omission that we didn't do due to incorrect information we gave him. We did decided to have the attorney accompany us to the interview just in case. I've heard crazy stories of what can happen when an attorney is not present. We've submitted our case back in June and so far everything has pretty much been smooth without any RFE's or delays. We are now just waiting for the interview at the end of the month (keeping fingers crossed) which I thought would have been adjudicated last month due to wrong information again. smh...

Anyway, I want to thank you all for your help with my case. Your contribution regardless of how big or small is greatly appreciated. I will give an update on the outcome. God bless!
