Today 

 

I received my interview letter for January 30th in Baltimore, my file date in July 3rd.

 

My online status did not update.

 

The good thing with the interview letter is that it tells you what to bring.

 

Any advice on how to prepare for the interview with be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations. Based on the processing time at your guys' Baltimore office, it's still in NOV 2016. However you all received the interview notice. My local office is April 2017, but February filers have not received the interview notice yet. I wonder when my turn is coming.  Sigh. No clue at all.

I never believe what they show online as the dates.

 

I think they keep it so it looks so backed up to stop people ringing up and worrying about not getting interviews yet.

We are July filers about a week after you in Baltimore. I am hoping we might hear about an interview date soon then! Fingers crossed!

 

Congratulations!

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted on here but I've come back with awesome news. Today, after coming home from work, I came home to a great surprise. My green card had arrived in the mail and our application journey (at least for this one) has reached it's end. Here's our timeline!

 

Filed I-130, I-485 and I-765 at Chicago, IL

Field Office - San Jose, CA

Married - 01/28/17 

PD - 05/31/17

NOA1 (I-485, I-130, I-765) - 06/09/17 (Receipts start with MSC)

Biometrics - 06/27/17

"Interview Ready to be Scheduled" - 08/14/17

"Interview Scheduled" - 09/12/17

Interview NOA - 09/15/17

Interview Date - 10/13/17

EAD "Card in Production" - 09/19/17 (112 Days)

EAD "Case Approved" - 09/20/17

EAD "Card Mailed" - 09/21/17

EAD Approval Letter Received - 09/23/17

EAD Received - 09/25/17

AOS and I-130 Approval Date - 12/21/2017

AOS and I-130 Approval Letter Received - 12/29/17

Permanent Resident Card Received - 01/04/18

 

We didn't get approved on the spot as we had hoped. We were so nervous the day of our interview that we were both saying the wrong things and our IO barely made any conversation. He barely glanced our album, took some of our photos and sent us on our way. After our interview, we felt dejected and I was in tears. 

 

We were anxious but we remained patient. We tried our best to keep our minds off of it (we avoided talking about it as much as we can). We were prepared for the worst and we waited for another interview appointment letter in the mail. 

 

But here we are! Green card in hand! We couldn't be any happier. There were tears, jokes and more sobs in between the laughter. 

 

We'll see y'all in ROC! Feel free to ask questions. I'll try my best to answer them!

I'm not a doctor, but I think you're no longer contagious after 24-72 hours on antibiotics.

Hi guys, 

so my husband and I had our AOS interview this morning; Everything went smoothly. We were sworn in, asked why did we decide to get married and how did we meet. I was over prepared with the documents, and he didn’t need half of it. He only asked for our joint bank statements and health coverage info. He told us that my husband should have the card in 10 days!! He advised that everything had been approved, and was only checking to see if we were married within the 90 days.

It seems like they asked my husband all of those;there were a lot lol. We didn’t say sir or ma’am. It was just casual conversation
