Thanks for the tips!!

Any special hours?

I'm planing to go tomorrow in the morning between 8 and 11 am.

It's pretty close to my house. Just 20 min drive.

Hi everyone!

First of all congrats obanla!! How very exciting!! Funny how they did not update your online status.. It really seems they do whatever they please!

I mailed what was necessary for my RFE today and it will hopefully arrive by 3/25 and then my husband and I should be back on track. We decided it was easier for us to use a joint sponsor instead of jumping through all the hoops due the to foreign earned income.

Hopeful for more interviews (and EADs) soon!

Hi Guys,

So I sent my package back on the 13th of March after it was sent back for a missed item, said it was received on the 16th. Haven't heard anything since then. Been about 5 working days since they have received it. I think the worst part is the initial waiting to see if its going to get sent back or actually processed. I think I would be much more patient knowing that a bio-metrics appointment is coming because my package is being processed. At least then I would know I was in the right direction. Right now all I know is the package was delivered.

February 20th- Sent Packet I-765, I-131, I-130, I-485

February 26th- Packet Received

March 6th- First RFE (missed one signature. DUMMY)

March 14th- Sent packet back

March 17th- Packet received

March 27th- Biometrics confirmation

April 16th- Biometrics appointment

April 21st- Second RFE for packet I-130, needed one more petitioner

May 14th- Called USCIS, currently day 58 out of the 75. Currently being patient :)

How about that, just as I write the post I get a text saying my case was received. Hoorah the process begins :)

OK, then why don't you write a post about wanting to get your Green Card, and maybe then you will get notice that it is being prepared! :-)

Hi Vink, welcome to the February group.

Please tell what country you are from, date Chicago received your packet, date you completed bio; and date your status was changed to 'ready for interview.

Then we can add you to our list to be able to compare with others experience.

As to when they will actually schedule your interview: It could be tomorrow, or it could be in 5 months or more.
