August 2013 Filers for AOS

[mrjack 9]

Wish us luck and prayers would be appreciated, we live in the morning to make the 400+ mile trip to our interview. It's kind of funny that we are only 30 miles from the US-Canadian border but we gotta drive 400 miles to get to a USCIS office.

To all NYC filers, be patient!

I was on the same boat as all of u and very worry about when will I get the interview letter. They even sent it with a mistake (so I didn't get it), and resent it changing te online status to "card/document production" which confused me even more.

I filed in August 19th (day the received it) had biometrics a month after and EAD a week after that. Then waited for the interview letter, and my interview is tomorrow nov 26th :-)

I'm so excited but nervous at the same time, can't wait to get it all done and not worry about it for another 2 years :-p

Interview from hell....more than one hour. We were drilled for nearly all that time on intention when getting the tourist visa and intention upon arrival and even intention to stay in our first 60 days. We didn't even apply until being here 5 months. We are under further review.

Sorry to hear your interview didn't go well. Sounds somewhat like the first half of our interview, but yours was twice as long and not approved at the end of the interview like ours was. Is Immigration questioning the validity of your relationship, or are they implying that you committed immigration fraud on intent at the Embassy interview and entry into the US? That was definitely what our IO was doing vehemently for half our interview. I eventually looked him straight in his eyes and told him quite honestly, "Things didn't go as originally planned." That's when he stopped that line of questioning and started asking for evidence of relationship. I wonder if having my lawyer glaring at him from behind me didn't shorten the first line of questioning? I'm more convinced than ever that no one should go into that office with the IO without a lawyer taking notes and staring down the IO. I think it keeps them from crossing the line from a reasonable line of questioning to becoming excessive and abusive if they are of that mind.

PS. I finally told my lawyer about the incident that happened at the Service Center in September about the name change and she told me I was being discriminated against and she is filling a complaint for me.

Hi, We are in the same situation. Our appointment was November 19, approved that day. IO told us we would receive the Green Card in two weeks, so the next day I bought a ticket for my husband to fly back to Costa Rica for the first time in 7 years. He leaves December 8. My lawyer told me if we didn't receive the Green Card in time, to schedule an Info Pass appointment to have his passport stamped. I'm emailing my lawyer today to ask her how long it takes to get an appointment, so I know if we don't have the Green Card in hand by a certain day when we should make the Info Pass appointment.

[mrjack 9]

For what it is worth, we just got notification that card is in production.

Same here. Mine was on november 19th IO said that depending on my security check i will get my green card. I've already cancelled any plans to flight home. I was tring to do a surpise present (myself) on the 24th of december but i guess this is not happening.

The weird part is the for the security check they do a "name check" my last name is so weird that nobody else has it (yes i googled myslef;))

With my spouce we are going to Grand Canyon for thanksgiving so i can relax a little, cause i almost got a breakdown last weekend.

I called today the number that was on the interview letter but they said that i need to wait until january 3rd to open a case. So.... That sucks
