September 2014 AOS Filers

[Calikitkat 16]

Just got my I-693 filled in! In San Diego I recommend Dr Hussain Ali Ronaghy. For $35 he filled in my vaccinations.

Wondering when they'll request it: as RFE or to bring it with at the interview! Looking forward for my case status to change! Noticed it usually changes one week after the biometrics so hopefully mine will change tomorrow or the day after!

I will be mostly looking for jobs in the customer service field, I have years of experience in that or maybe in a warehouse or a trade job

I'm feeling so happy that this morning I got an email from USCIS that they mailed out my EAD card to me this morning. Can't wait for it to arrive. I guess I will start to apply for some jobs I was looking at now. Keep waiting patiently everyone, I know it's hard

Congrats!!

I hope so. I'm going wacky.

Let me have some form of status dangit.

For those who already received the interview notice by mail, can you share how long it took to receive the letter once the online status changed to "Testing and Interview"? Also does the status online change with the actual date of the interview or stays like the one below?

Canuck wait a sec...they texted/emailed you with interview date?

I haven't gotten any electronic notifications since the first noa

Can everyone be sure to keep their timelines updated? The better the data, the more accurate the predictions for processing times.

Thanks!

P.S. Still nothing on our case since NOA on 9/9/2014.... *sigh*

My bad. Forgot to update with the biometrics date

(Which was October 16...could update the sig too but dang it's getting long...)

Guys!! After much asking around I found a joint sponsor for the affidavit of support

I had them complete an affidavit of support form and give me a copy of their tax return for 2013.

I am about to send of the RFE response but I was wondering, is the affidavit of support and their tax return document enough or do I need to ask them for anything else? :S

Awesome! Glad you found a joint sponsor I sent my RFE response on Saturday.

Your joint sponsor needs to give you a proof that he/she is a USC/LPR (copy of birth certificate or copy of passport biographical page for example for a USC). Also my joint sponsor gave me some recent paystubs (the RFE doesn't say anything about paystubs but I wanted to make sure I had enough to submit!)

I made an account online when I got my first noa and have been updated via email. The texts just say to log on and check account. They sent an email that says they mailed a notice for an interview that will take place November 20th. It does not say the time but I received the letter last week with the time. I will update my timeline when I can get on a computer but I do not have the patience to do it on phone, it is all in my signature as well! hope you hear something soon!!

Well on the RFE it says submit all tax related documents (W2's or 1099s etc) but my sponsor is retired and making 80k so it's enough but I don't think he has w2's because retired people don't have those :S I don't want to be pushy and asking all sorts of stuff so I'm embarrassed to go asking for more stuff :S

I've got his most recent tax return, completed affidavit of support and proof of citizenship (passport). I think I might send those and hope for the best :S

This whole procedure is so stressfull :/

Oh ok! Yes that should be enough then. I understand about not wanting to be pushy! I was feeling bad enough having to ask!

Send what you have. That's what the RFE asks for so hopefully it's sufficient! Good luck! And yes it's super stressful!!
