that is one of the worst approved interviews i have heard of... sooo sorry you and your wife had to go through that... i hate when people use their power over other people to be rude to them just coz they can... if you don't mind me asking how long did you overstay?

Thank you, sadly it happened to us but thank goodness we got approved! 3 months and six days not including the waiting of the EAD and filing process. 

Best of the wishes!

Hey guys, we had our interview yesterday too, glad it went well. The IO went through our application and asked us few questions. It was 20 min long and she said if I approve it and you will get the card in the mail in few weeks. Later we checked the status online, it was approved!

Again good luck to all you guys! 

Congratulations!

Hi guys, I am preparing my AOS package. Have some questions regarding the whole process and I really don't want to look at the "Instructions" in the VJ page cause sometimes they are not updated.

 

I know there has been some changes with the forms. Or anyone has a very detailed list of how the process goes??? I am really lost.

 

 

Also could any of you help me with the following questions?

• I requested my SSN on Monday, should arrive within next week. Should I wait till I have it in hand to add it in the I-485 form?
• I did all my vaccines in Mexico with my medical. Someone said that I don't need to take it to a civil surgeon in the U.S., that I can just add the page they gave me in the medical, is that correct?
• For my Birth Certificate, will they accept a notarized translation made by myself?  Or it has to be done by some type of USCIS designated company?
• From your experience what other forms should I include in my package and what kind of evidence do they request??

 

Any help or word of advice would be soooo helpful.

 

Thanks for ur time!

Howdy follow April filers just wanted to share some updates on my case with USCIS. PD 04/28/17

July 12th -  1st S.R EAD was not assigned for processing.

July 27th - 2nd S.R EAD was not assigned for processing.

August 1st- 3rd S.R EAD was not assigned for processing. 

I decided to call up one of USCIS representative via phone after putting in my third S.R via USCIS website. The rep... Was very helpful she checked n told me that my case was outside of the processing time n that she had seen where I had made a S.R today n withing 5 days an IO will respond to my case. Within an hour's time I check my case status on USCIS web link n saw a notification which read your EAD case has been assigned to an officer for a response. 

Folks plz share if u have similar  experiences. Don't know what to think or expect from this notification . My case has been 95 days n counting n 10 weeks out from biometrics. I need that EAD to start working tired been home. 

Update Guys S.R was completed a few hrs ago. I received an email stating the following.

The status of this service request is:

Your case is currently under review.  You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly.

All done... Interview went very smoothly... IO came out and called my name, he was not smiling but professional and polite, took us into his office and swore us in... then he went through our full names and date of births and address... then he went through the questions on my i-485... then he asked my wife where we had met and around what date... then he asked if it was both of our first marriage and we said yes, then he asked if either one of us had kids and we said no then he asked who are the kids in those photos and i was pleasantly surprised that he had actually personally looked through the pictures and i said those where her niece and nephew... then he asked if we had any extra evidence we want to submit and i gave him our wedding album and my sealed medical form... he said we did a background check and everything looks great that your marriage is bonafide and your green card is approved!!! he then went to get some copies of some of the pics from the wedding album (we had already submitted close to 38 pics with the application) and then he said you will get the card within two weeks and explained ROC and naturalization... then he asked us if we had any questions and we said no and he lead us out... hurraay!!! i hated that we were all tensed up as  the interview appointment letter had mentioned a long list of things to bring to the interview and we hadn't gotten an employment letter from her boss and didn't have the most recent pay stubs but he didn't even ask about them... so i guess this process is finally over for now... thanks to every single one of you who has read my posts and answered my questions and been a part of my journey, you guys made it easier for me... thank you...

 

P.S. I'm kind of worried that i haven't gotten an update on my status online yet, interview was at 1:30 PM and now its 12 30 in thew morning and no update yet... I am gonna post this same comment on the March, April and May 2017 topics as there are people on each who have supported me through this process...

Anyone have the San Bernardino, Ca office as thier local office?

 

Still waiting in my mom's status to be updated from EAD card mailed (6/20) to ready to schedule interview, but no luck...

 

I think her application is still at NBC.

[vosovski 33]

Just called USCIS regarding EAD since it has been 75 days since USCIS received a response. The reply was basically that they are processing papers from March 3rd (or 5th) and our paperwork was submitted on 27th. They are backlogged and in this case should hopefully make an update within 30 days.

 

For some reason I have a feeling that because wife's AOS received RFIE the receive date for EAD will also reset to the receive date of RFIE response.

Aks to talk to a tier 2 officer. I filed my paperwork on March 24th and I have my EAD. So those timelines are not correct. Plus not that long ago I saw they where processing as of March 18. I asked them about AOS and they told me they work on it everyday, but my field office say October 15 for almost 3 months now. So I'm not believing those timelines at all. Put in a service request or talk to a tier 2 officer would be my advice.

 

Good luck!

We had our interview at the Detroit office today. It was very simple, we checked in at the counter and they told us to have a seat and someone will call you. We waited about 20 minutes. The questions were simple, she went over the application than she asked how we met and how he  proposed, she went over our photos and that was it. We got approved, interview was about 10 minutes long. 

[Keepchill 19]

I finally got the notification that my EAD was approved! It changed to new card being produced yesterday, and I had received my AP approval notice in the mail and it was approved on July 18. 

 

Now I have to make sure it gets mailed to the right address, I had called and spoke to a tier 2 agent and she said that the online request I had made wasn't accepted. I had her submit the change again for me, and she said it should be changed by the weekend.
