Thanks..... i should put "trying to call now" ...

Out of interest, how long after case complete should I hear about the interview date?

You'll likely get in on the first round which typically begins around the last couple days of the month.

Hoping you don't get screwed like I did with that!

FINALLY!!!

Thanks! This really did feel like an eternity...... now I wonder who the interview scheduling is going ...

Also, how did your husbands medical go? did they say if all was ok?

Good luck !!! When was your last package scanned at NVC? I couldnt find ur timeline..sorry for being annoying ??...jus tryin to estimate our lucky day ??

Sorry I will fill it in later ... I'm a June 4th scanner

So this SHOULD be for early September?

Oh yea, that went just fine, as expected.

When your interview falls during the scheduled month is up to chance, as we've seen But scheduling should begin in about 2 weeks, so you'll know before long!

Starting to fill out the I-864 form and am curious about leaving questions blank. Example...my wife has no middle name.

The form instructions clearly state If an item is not applicable or the answer is “none,” leave the space blank.

I had it ingrained in my brain to either use N/A or none, depending on the question, when filling out the I-130. I believe that i should just follow instructions on this form and leave them blank, but, I don't want to get checklisted. Tell me I'm over-complicating things and I should just leave them blank where applicable.

Thanks

No you do not leave blank. You simply write N/A. Leaving blank will make them believe you forgot to answer the question. They have no idea if it's not applicable.

This is really confusing. Some folks I have read where checklisted for leaving items blank on AOS. But the app says leave blank if it does not apply. I put N/A in the items that did not apply. I don't want to give wrong info.

Guys, I need help! I just filled out the DS-261 successfully and got the barcode, but there is no AOS fee to pay! In the fee payment portal, it just shows a small lank space for the AOS fee! How do I pay? Can I send the package before I pay? Help!

Also, how can I upload the pic here?

[jsumner86 403]

AOS fee is now N/A!!!! calling now.

Wohoo!!!

If memory servces correctly, the AOS fee is not available at the same time as DS-261. My AOS came available the day after I completed my DS-261, but I'm not sure if that's been delayed lately, too :/

Yep, the instructions say as much. Oy vey I feel like a newb.

It happens to the best of us. Between now and your case complete your brain will turn into a big pool of mud and you'll forget how to communicate appropriately with people, specifically shouting at innocent people when they ask you for the 8,367,359,219 time when your spouse will be coming to America.

Then one day when this is over, you'll call someone on the phone and you'll be so confused when someone answers the phone after 3 rings and zero re-dials, you'll accidently hang up on them because you'll swear it was an error.

CASE COMPLETE!!!!!

Still got a checklist (wrong number of immigrants, which is strange as it was not brought up on the last one!) however they are scheduling an Interview...

I got Recce (? sounded like a woman) and was told that i would be given a months notice but she wouldn't tell me when I would hear .... Although I was only tilt that he/she was not informed that the August interview slots were closed yet so fingers crossed.!

How long do you usually have to wait to be told the interview date?

It's confusing, because even when you don't leave a question unanswered, it would seem they want you to N/A the other options, even if they're mutually exclusive. My husband checked the box stating he is a citizen, so he left the A-Number box for LPRs blank. I assume we'll get a checklist for that, plus leaving the second employer and retirement sections blank. I thought if you're working full time you're not retired and wouldn't have to point such a fact out...

Congratulations!!!

There's no standard duration before an interview date is assigned, it depends entirely on where your CC date falls relative to the monthly interview scheduling, which happens at the end of one month and early into the next. Right now you're waiting for the round of scheduling beginning end of this month.

When the same people at work are like "Mrs. Tobin! When are you going to America? Has your husband forgotten about you? LOLOLOL" ...*cries*
