I had my interview today at London and it was honestly painless.

I got approved :)

I'll post a review later but it honestly was fine

It was exactly how everyone described it, just like a conversation.

Thank you to all of you for your support and help

Especially to Nich-Nack (they only needed 1 g325a form) not the 4 I'd printed out ;)

Congratulations :) when's the move?

Thanks everyone :)

I am planning on the middle of June. I need to work 1 months notice at my current job, which I'll give on Monday.

Our anniversary is June 16th so it'd be ideal to be there for that.

And I'll probably go through Dublin as I think that's the cheapest option!

When's your move date?

I'm not planning on going until the end of July, would like to earn as much as possible before going and be there 1 month before our wedding. I'd happily go sooner though, just trying to work for the future so to speak

Congratulations. Remind me why you took 4 copies of a G-325A to the interview. You had a mistake in the petition you wanted to correct? And you read 2008 posts talking about the old form version which was indeed quadruplicate?

Thank you!

I took 4 copies because in the original petition we (me & my fiancé) were both made to sign 4 copies each of the G325a by our lawyer, so I thought it best to take 4 copies today.

I see. The lawyer is out of date. The form in 2008 when filled in online, populated 4 pages exactly the same except for some internal routing indication for each copy. Type one then 4 pages printed and we signed all four.

Congratulations!

When the time comes for me, I also have to give a month's notice at work. I'm super annoyed about that :( I want to leave right away, but understand that would cause unforetold misery for my manager!

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.
