Re: weight, I think you can just ballpark the number. I doubt it has to be 100% accurate

hahaha yes that is my problem too, I do not want to know my weight! and now sadly I have to... I need to go to the gym more often and I know that, but it's so hard when you aren't living the normal life (work, friends, familie etc).

And I really hope that we will know soon what we are waiting for, an interview, a quick greencard. I hate to be in the dark for real... right now you can get your greencard within a month up to over a year... It would be so much better if USCIS could give people an estimate expecation!

I have my biometrics in about a week, but first this sunday we will be visiting the bridal expo I am so excited! We have been married on paper but we have a long way of saving up money for that dreamwedding I want! haha so my greencard cannot come fast enough for me!

Just had my biometrics appointment today.

It was pretty simple, as described here. I filled out a form with name, DOB, phone#, country of birth, country of citizenship, race, height (ft and in), weight (pounds), eye color, hair color, USCIS A#, Application Numbers, other names used.

It was not allowed cell phones, recording devices, foods, nor drinks.

As far as documents, they needed the appointment letter, my passport and marriage certificate as proof of name change.

If you changed your name, do not forget to take a certified copy of marriage certificate with you.

Now you wait :clock: .

You'll either get notification of an interview, and/or notification that your EAD combo card is in the mail, OR if you are lucky your interview will be waived and you'll get notification that your GC is in the mail.

I was snooping around on the February AOS filers and there's a handful of folks that had their interviews waived and are now waiting for their GC in the mail (talk about a quick process, eh?)! The rest of the folks have been getting notifications of the scheduled interview within a month or so

Ahh I see, perfect! I'm hoping my interview gets waived! Haha. Thank for you for your response!

Mine took between two and three weeks to get in the mail. I suppose it could take more time than that...or if you are lucky it could be less time. Unfortunately there's no formula to tell when exactly it will show up in your mailbox
