March 2015 AOS Filers

[davidxx 10]

Day 71 since my NOA 1. It's Actually getting stressful and frustrating now

Still hoping for a good news this week. For those who got approved already (EAD/AP), how did you find out? Via email or case status in their site? I'm using the USCIS case tracker application.

I signed up on the USCIS website so I logged in every so often to check, but also had email notifications turned on.

I received the emails then logged in to check.

Hi guys... I sent my ead and AP and aos packet late March and received noa 1 on March 25th. Then I received a biometrics appointment letter in the mail before I even received the noa1s, lol. My biometrics appointment took place April 13th in Saint Louis. Ever since then, no news. USCIS website says last updated info was March 27th. I am hoping my wait is almost over as the time lines on here show that some people who filed late March already got approved. I also hope that if I haven't gotten a rfe yet, I won't at all. I'll keep you all posted and good luck to you all.

Hello everyone, my husband is still waiting his NOA1 was 3.25.15 and biometrics was 5.07.15 but prior to that we had a request for evidence on 4.13.15 which they received 5.15.15. Hoping it won't be much longer because my hubby is dieing to work...

Hi hon08,

Don't worry, I think the copy that you can print online for your W2s willl be fine. Just go online and print it as well, I know it is also certified.

Hi my dear March 2015 AOS Filers,

Good news! My conditional GC got approved today ! My husband and I are so thankful to you guys most especially this visajourney website it really helped us a lot on preparing for the whole AOS process without a lawyer. If you need any help or any questions just let me know, I'll try to answer the best I can to help you as well.

So here's what I brought on the Interview this morning;

1. INTERVIEW LETTER plus all the letter we received when we applied for AOS under K1. The guards will ask it right away and the front desk as well to give you a number

2. Passport of me and my husband

3. Birth Certificate (2 of us)

4. Marriage Certificate/License

5. All joint accounts that we have ( joint savings and checking bank account, rental lease, utility bills, life insurance)

6. 2 Personal letters coming from our friend and relative that they know us having a bonafide marriage

7. My husband's job offer letter

8. bank statements

9. All W2s and ITRs (2012-2014), Pay Stubs (last 2 months)

10. Social Security Card

11. I-94 and Travel history

12. Copies of the whole AOS papers I sent USCIS

13. Pictures

I think the most important here are the joint accounts that you have. The Immigration Officer photocopied everything that we have.

Here's the summary of our Interview;

We went there around 11:10am for our 11:15am interview. The guard asked the interview letter and we did the checking of things in our bags. After, we went inside the room and went to the front desk to give the interview letter. The lady asked us to wait. After 5 minutes , the Immigration Officer approached us and we headed to her office inside the long hallway of offices.

When we're at her office, she let us swear and raised our right hand to tell nothing but the truth. So after that, the questions began.

She first asked me my complete name, if I have aliases, the address of where we lived, my birthday, where's my POE, what date did I entered, our wedding date, when and where did me and my husband meet. She let me tell our love story Also, my previous addresses outside US, my previous job, my birthday. and if I was refused before on coming here in the US, when did we became bf/gf, our anniversary, if I have EAD card or driver's license and needs to show her.

She also asked my husband his job and the history of his previous jobs, his previous address, how did we meet and where, when did he proposed, if he met my family, his birthday, where did we go on our honeymoon.

After that, we got approved right away Thank you Lord!

I will add some questions if I forgot something but basically it's all about our whole relationship as bf/gf until we got married. Our interview was actually very detailed though but to me, if you're in a REAL relationship , you'll have no problems at all because you'll know this by heart

My tip is really prepare/organize all your papers and try to relax on the interview itself. Dress properly. My husband and I wore our suits and I guess it's better to be overdressed than under dress most especially you'll be talking to an Immigration Officer. Try also to review everything with your husband the day before like make a Q and A questions on your relationship. That's what we did Most importantly, pray before going outside your car and ask for God's guidance and everything will be alright.

Regarding with my previous question on me going on a roadtrip with my husband w/o any card yet, I asked the Immigration Officer and she told me that there will be no problems just bring my passport and all the papers that I received from USCIS. We can really travel anywhere from US.

Thank you guys and God Bless to everyone

I agree. Once it's a REAL relationship those answers become second nature. God bless you as well. May He continue to watch over you on your journey.

yayy! Got my first job in The land of milk and honey..??I will start tomorrow, minimum wage..for on the job training..better than no income at all...thanks God! all praises to you!

Congratulations. Use it as a feel of American working culture.

Day 71 since my NOA 1. It's Actually getting stressful and frustrating now

Still hoping for a good news this week. For those who got approved already (EAD/AP), how did you find out? Via email or case status in their site? I'm using the USCIS case tracker application.

I found out through the case status...they will not email you unless you have signed up via the website. I did not receive my EAD until day 80 after NOA1 and we did not have an RFE.....you can file a service request at day 75 which we did but nothing came of it since it was approved on day 80! The whole process is frustrating especially when people who file after you receive their approval....hang in there!

Hello everyone, my husband is still waiting his NOA1 was 3.25.15 and biometrics was 5.07.15 but prior to that we had a request for evidence on 4.13.15 which they received 5.15.15. Hoping it won't be much longer because my hubby is dieing to work...

Hang in there.....some people wait as long as 80 days after NOA1 for their work permit!

Thank you JenDave.

Is there still a chance for us to get an interview date for GC? Cause we noticed that those who are scheduled for interview got an update days after their biometrics.

[Adbaker01 4]

we hope there is a chance, everyday i check my status it never changed, that means they are puuting it somwhere may be forgot about it, i am not sure how it goes but it seems like that, hard luck and this is so nerve-racking,

[shellybelly13 8]

In that case I guess they are forgetting all of us cases because I am still waiting as well and I agree with you the wait is nerve racking and it sucks

Got my EAD/AP card in the mail yesterday!
