April 2014 Aos Filers

[JEWELLA 10]

Does anyone here has to changed their last name on their social security card?

Today i went to the SSA office.all they ask for was the SSN application form,marriage certificate and a driver's license which i don't have....so i gave them my EAD/AP combo card instead.then they ask for my passport.the lady didn't ask for my social security card...so i still have it in my possession ...is this normal when renewing SSN for name change?...also the lady told me it would take 3-4 weeks to process cause the system keep kicking her out....and they have to send it to another office to verified the info...i don't know what all this means...

By the way i have a job interview for next week...it should have been this week but i wasn't available to go in.so i already have an interview schedule and have my EAD less than 2 weeks and few days in job hunting.I wish everyone all the best on their visajourney!!

Hi I went to the interview yesterday in Manhattan, New York City.

It was very crowded and we were waiting almost for 3hours. It was pain.

Finally, I was called and took an oath, and we were asked many questions!

What's your spouse's full name? Parents' name? Birthday? Phone number?

Where does your spouse work?

When did you come to the US? When did you go back to Korea? How long?

How did you meet? How long have you lived together?

Have you met each family? How many people come to the wedding ceremony?

What's your common things? Who usually cook? Which movie did you watch recently?

Do you have any photos? Joint-bank account? Bills?

While she was looking over the joint bank account, she asked me where you went shopping? what did you buy? Give me three places you often went in June. Actually, I was panicked. I didn't remember where I went last two months. Grocery? Starbucks? Korean Restaurant?

But after the interview, I realized that that was the easiest question. She was asking my life. There was no right or wrong answer. I guess she just wanted to see how sincerely I answered.

That's all. She said everything was ok and needed to do more back-ground checking and gonna approve it. And also she mentioned about how to remove the conditional one within 2 years.

I was super exhausted after the interview. Under the pressure and the circumstance, it's very nervous. But she was a very nice person. I understand she pretended to be strict and had to be professional. so she gave me some questions that anybody can answer like give me the three names of your spouse's friends, the three names of Korean restaurant you went recently etc. Now I know, I should have been more relax and answered composedly.

It has been 24hours since the interview, but my status online still shows "Testing and Interview," .... I will keep posting it!

Good luck to everybody!

i got interview waiver ... more waiting ahead

Are there any April filers who still don't either have an interview appointment or potential waiver notice? I am still waiting for either and am wondering if either letter ended up at the USPS Blackhole. Online case status is stuck on an RFE Evidence Review since May. When should I schedule an infopass appointment to find out what is going on? My address is fine. I received the RFE notice and EAD card and have not moved since.
