Thank you for sharing your interview experience. Congrats on your approval! Hope you will receive your card soon! 

Thanks you so much. One thing that worries me is that he did not give me any paper stating our approval. It was all verbal.

Did your case status update online at all?

We got our GC no interview. It was on fingerprint fee accepted for what seemed like forever, then it just changed to "approved" and new card being produced. Just out of no where.

IVe been kinda quiet on here since my EAD was approved, because work kept me so busy! But now I’m going to need to jump back on here for some advice. Is there any march fliers still waiting on getting an interview date? If so are any of you considering submitting your renewal for your EAD, I can’t risk it expiring whilst I wait for my interview and GC?

Hi guys.

So I finally got an answer to my second service request (the first one was not assigned for processing). I got a letter in the mail that says "Due to workload factors not related to your case, USCIS anticipates a delay in completing your case. USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in the order received and in a timely and efficient manner.", etc etc.

My case status has been on "Fingerprints" since April 4. My AOS processing date is March 30. Field office is San Antonio TX, and I have talked to several people that applied way after me (May, July...) and already have their green cards or interview dates (I'm talking about same field office, same process: AOS from K1). I don't understand why there's a delay with my case but not with theirs.

Also, this letter was sent from the National Benefits Center. Does that mean that my case is still there, stuck at background check?

USCIS follows no order and things are very arbitrary. It is a practice in frustration as far as an applicant is concerned.

Frustrating but continue to be patient. 

And yes, the application stays at the NBC until a interview is scheduled.

Hello All,

 

My application for permanent residence was approved yesterday after an interview session in Newark New Jersey. It’s was a short yet simple interview. 

 

I will advise that you come with the document stated in the interview letter. 

 

The interviewer will have your file upfront, which other document presented by you will be added to the file.

 

wishing everyone good luck in their applications.

 

This website and it’s content have really help in this process.

I checked my status online this morning and it says that my interview has been cancelled ( they didn't even schedule it) and that they mailed me a notice!!

Is it the same for one of you??? Does it mean they rejected my application??? OMG

I guess i am getting a divorce. I wont be able to stay in states because i didnt get my green card yet. I was in a abusive relationship. 

Collect all your evidence and get an order of protection. Unless you don't want to stay in the states

He is smoking weed. He doesnt work. I work at a fastfood restaurant. If i dont give him money for weed, he calls me i am a fraud, he is gonna sign an annulment, he argues with me. We stay with his family. They want me to pay rent. I pay around 350 400 per month to them. I give hime around 400 to him. I am always out of money. His family is always abusive to me. He never hit me but he always threatens me about divorcing me and an annulment and sending me home.

 

 

I dont know how can i collect any kind of evidence of verbal abuse.

You can't get an order of protection if there has not be physical abuse. 

from my understanding, an annulment is difficult to obtain. You need to talk to an immigration attorney about your options.

An update.

 

I had my interview on 24th of January and Officer asked no questions of my USC spouse and he needed no evidence, absolutely nothing. It was like not having an interview. We had more than 600 pages of documents spanning 16 years of relationship. He verbally approved me with no written proof and we were walked out. Yesterday I got an approval I-797 notice of action in the mail. It confirms that I was approved on the same day of our interview.

 

Since Jan 27th my status online shows "Card Was Mailed to Me". I called USCIS twice yesterday inquiring about tracking number. The first guy I spoke to was very unfriendly and said card hasn't been mailed and hung up on me. I called for a second time and officer was super friendly. He said card hasn't been mailed out yet but will ship today. He went an extra mile and found me the tracking number of the package and gave it to me. It was shipped out of National Benefit Center in  Missouri yesterday. The moral of story: people are different and if someone gives you an attitude don't be disheartened, call back and talk to another one.

 

My case was stuck on "ready to schedule an interview" since June 2017. In late October I called USCIS to see why it is not moving. To my surprise, I was informed that my case is sitting motionless in NBC for all that time. I was so frustrated. I immediately found our member of US House of Representative. I live in West Palm, FL and ours is Brian Mast. He is a 39 year old veteran. His office immediately took action on my behalf. They contacted USCIS and send me letter in December informing me that they are waiting for a response from USCIS. Soon after I got an Interview Notice. Later his office forwarded USCIS's response that my case is ready for interview on so and so date. In fact the congressman's letter came after I got the interview appointment letter. All corespondents with his office was signd personally by him. I don't know if it was his push to move this case forward or its just moved on it own but what I know for sure that he is a very nice and responsive representative. If your case is stuck, you owe it to yourself to contact your representative. You never know! They might be as awesome as Brian Mast.
