Hey everyone!

 

I received my Bio metrics appointment for both I 485 and EAD. I went and did them and then I received my EAD and it expires on 12/27/18. Meanwhile I haven't heard anything about my greencard and it says invalid when I try to check status using the receipt number they provided me. I've tried to contact them using the 1-800 number and they don't have an option for talking to an officer. So I have few questions.

 

a) How do I get to talk to an officer? (Maybe I'm doing something wrong or not understanding their menu) There's no options in the main menu so if someone can give me how to get to that option clearly, that'd be great.

b) Since my EAD expires on 12/27/18, and hasn't heard anything about my greencard, when do I need to apply for a new EAD? 

 

Thank you very much!

I looked it up on the USCIS website....you can apply for a new EAD now (website says not before 180 days). Just an FYI

Congratulations!!!!!

 

Did you receive the text telling you the interview had been scheduled? If so, how long between text and letter?

 

I’m trying to figure out when the letter will be here.  😊

So it looks like they are doing more interviews then before? I remember when in the K1 process, it was like 5% of AOS were asked to do an interview. Everyone just received the green card int he mail. Maybe this is one of the many changes and why the entire process has slowed down to a turtles pace.

I believe everyone gets an interview now.

 

Our interview is scheduled for October 18.

We filed for AOS on January 19th.

Yep, seems that a lot of people are getting interviewed now. I thought we’d bypass this and get the green card in the mail. But nope, our interview was last month (applied for AOS in March). I was a bit worried when we were scheduled, but a quick search proved to me that it was nothing to worry about at all.

If you don’t mind me asking...,what questions were asked. I’m freaking out a bit.....

It was maybe only 10 minutes long. We both had a series of questions, but most were directed at my wife. First was a bit to establish who we were, names of our parents, our address, etc. (Things that we’re directly taken from our application). Then came a list of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ questions for her (criminal history, arrests, etc). Then acknowledgment that I understood my responsibilities as a sponsor. The officer took a photocopy of a wedding photo only and spoke  to us about the next steps with our visa and ROC. Very easy. I’m sure you’ll be fine.

WOW!!! You guys are so lucky with the relatively quick process. We submitted our AOS in mid November, and still nothing. Not even his work/travel permit, as they printed it in March with an error. Their error, and we pay the price.

That’s terrible! And why so long to reprint without the error? Crazy. I’m sorry!

[Missabc 626]

So last night I was printing all my paperwork in preparation for my AOS interview and I pulled out my K1 folder and was just having a look through it when I got to my Interview confirmation for my K1 and I couldn't believe it.... The date AND time I had my K1 interview is exactly the same as my AOS interview! Can you believe it haha! Let's hope at 12.30pm on the 10th October I get good news again.

No idea. They say we are within the "time line", which means they put us at the BACK of the pile to "start over". I HATE THEM ALL!
