Hello folks, our AOS interview was yesterday June 21st at San Bernardino field office, it was scheduled for 8.55am but we got started by 9.38am. it was very interactive, the adjudicating officer was a black cheerful man in his 50s. He started by the sworn statement, asked of our IDs, where and how we met, where we live, size of the house, days our trash is being taken, our phone numbers, wedding ceremony, how long we dated, who attended our marriage, then the yes/no questions. Then he checked our documents and support documents and the originals comparing them with the copies, got to my birth certificate he said the were wearing out cos of aging, that he has to send to his supervisor which he excused himself and came back after two minutes without it(birth certificate). Then continue to ask questions about our families, how many siblings we have, our parents, then asked if I still belonged to the professional bodies I listed in my i-485 and if I've started working or have worked in the US since I arrived, I told him no that most of all I will have to take my professional exams (medical field) before I could work. We started talking about his allergies and was buzzed by his supervisor. He went out, came back and then printed some papers and said he have to go back to his supervisor to sign us out. He came back and gave us a paper and said we will have to re-order another of my birth certificate asap but we will get a mail of the instructions in the mail. So I have ordered another birth certificate from my home country today hopefully it will be here next week as next Monday and Tuesday is a national holiday (Ed-el fitr for our Muslim brothers and sisters). So we are waiting for the mail to come as well as my birth certificate to arrive so as to send it out asap. Fingers crossed. Have some couple of interviews (job) lined up from tomorrow. 

 

Congratulations guys on all that have gotten good updates on their status and good luck to those still waiting. We shall all get to the promised Land. Cheers!!!

@atuegwu thank you for letting us know about your interview and the process. So your approval is basically on hold pending submission of a newer copy of your birth certificate?

@Scienceteacher15 thanks too. Yes that is what it means but the adjudicating officer said we should wait to have the notice in the mail before sending it out even if we get the birth certificate, so I am hoping the mail and birth certificate comes asap. Thanks once again.

All this time I was thinking my field office is Norfolk which is processing at 7 months and now I got to know that my county comes in washington field office which takes 8 months.. 1 more month to go.. sad :-(

I put in a service request on June 19, and just got a response today saying 'Your case is currently under review.  You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly.'

 

I hope that means I'll hear something in the next week! I'm on day 86 today.

Day 92

EAD card was delivered today.

[RenoZiv 23]

Ok just trying to get an idea of how things are going for March filers. 

 

Comment below on who's waiting for EAD, AOS or both. If you got approved how long did you wait, was there an RFIE or RFE, and type of visa originally filed i.e. K1 (fiancée visa)

 

Yes I could just go through everyone's timeline but this puts it all in one place for everyone. 

 

I know each case is different and I shouldn't use other peoples to figure out mine. But I'm impatient! And now that the wait is. Beyond the 90 days I have the itch. I know there are people still waiting well beyond 100 days and it's sad.

 

Thanks ahead to anyone who posts!
