I know! Ahh, I have been a bit slacking on that. Time to scramble it together. They usually outline what you need to bring in in the letter they send right? Time to do some research. 

Yes the letter will list the documents you should bring with you.  Basically take ALL your original documents that you submitted copies of with the applications, plus extra docs for proof of bona fide marriage; essentially your bills, joint bank & credit card account statements, joint leases, joint insurance, photos, and anything else you have.  They won't ask for all of this but it's just to be extra prepared.  Good luck!

Congrats on your interview! I know it's a big relief. Yes, the interview letter is very specific and tells you everything you need to bring. Have fun re-gathering those docs if you hadn't made a copy. We didn't  and its been such a joy recompiling everything 🙃

Oh shhhh. I was hoping that wouldn't always be the case. My computer crashed, I have no copy whatsoever of my original 864 😳😳. Did you redo everything then ?

Yikes! Computer crashes are no fun. The letter doesn't specifically ask for I-130 or I-485 (or the AP/EAD forms). However, it does specifically ask you to bring in your combo card if you've received one by then, the i-864 (affidavit of support) along with all the docs that go with that, and other supporting docs you sent in with your original packet. We'd saved digital copies of most things on the computer, so it's not awful. But some pieces of evidence we'd sent in we are having to redo 😏

Good luck reassembling your packet! Hopefully it's not too bad for you.

Lol , I have a copy of everything but the original i864 ( for my husband) but I have the one for my co-sponsor ( saved it on the phone this time ).

I am in NYC so at least, i have months of waiting before I even get a date. I should have time to redo it accurately.

Thank you !! I'm screaming like a wolf in here 😜😜😜. I keep on checking the receipt number to make sure it's mine 😂😂😂

 

 

For those who are still waiting, I ended up sending a letter to my senator last week ( Thursday) specifically about the work authorization .The staff told me they had assigned a case worker to my file to reach out to Uscis . Not sure if they had contacted them already though.They are supposed to email me when they do. An option to consider for those that really need their Eads and have waited for a whileeeee.

Yes ! Thank God. 

 

What is the process after the ead is being produced ? I think it's "mailed" ? How long does that take ???

I definitely don't think it's too early to contact them. Hell, I contacted my congresswoman on March 3rd which was early on ( this said, I knew I should've received a Rfe so I did it bc I realized nobody had touched my case).

Also, keep in mind it may take them a little while to contact Uscis and get an answer back .

 

And THANK YOU, I still can't believe it. I was at day 113 so I can only hope yours will happen soon .🍀🍀🍀🍀
