Faster than I expected..

I've read that this process takes some patience and time but I've got to admit this is going at lightening speed! Seems like I'm always getting some update in the mail. Our package was received on June 25th and have biometrics on the 23rd!

Does anyone know how long it will take for the results to get back to USCIS and how long our interview will take to be booked from there?

My husband has no criminal history.

Oh, and he will also be using his current domestic russian passport. This wont be a problem right?

what's up with husbands international passport ?

How did he get into the US with an internal passport?

yes, alas, huge problem,

as

this passport has no entry stamp on it

and

has no visa stamp in it.

where is his international passport ?

Update**

He got in with a J-1 visa legally with an international passport he has since lost. Now, all he has is the domestic one. We did a successful biometric walk in today with just a russian domestic passport and a russian driver's license and had absolutely no problem.

So in Russia there are international passports and domestic passports? Or how is this working? In terms of your question, it would be probably a month from now you may have your interview. In our case we sent our AOS package in on the 10 of September and we got the biometrics appointment on the 27th of September, and then we got the interview appointment letter on the 3rd of October for 3rd of November, and then was approved on the spot, and from the 3rd of November of the interview date sharp 7 days later, November 10th the GC was waiting in the mailbox. I hope this helps...if you are going the same speed as us, that's how you'll get your ####### too. Good luck!

Yea, so apparently he has a (current) domestic passport that he can travel within Russia with he then got an international one when he got his visa (which is lost in the abyss). He also used his Russian driver's license at biometrics and it worked out fine. Mind you, neither document was in English. I couldnt seem to find a straight answer before on whether or not theyd except this so we took a change and it worked!

Wow you really went through everything super fast. I assumed that we would get his work permit in a month and then in 3 months get the interview. I hope we get the same experience as you!

Thanks for your help!

So far as I'm aware, at the interview stage you will need to show your proof of legal entry into the US with the documents (passport, visa etc) that you used. At least, that's what the IO said to me anyway!
