Hi Julia80, my status just updated the same as your, it is showing now "employment base interview was scheduled" while I am K1 AOS. I am abit confusing too 

I've been chatting to another lady who has the same, so that's three of us. I think it is just a computer error as the letter clearly states it's a family based petition. I think we will be ok. My hubby said we shouldn't call as they might cancel the appointment thinking that an error has occurred, we are just going to go by the letter.

Yes, I am glad we point it out here otherwise I was thinking to tell my hubby to call and ask them. Thanks for sharing this information and wish us all the best

Exactly, I'd be lost without this forum! Good luck with your preparations. I spent all day yesterday getting paperwork ready. I want to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible!

i heard from some people that they passed the GC interview even after the k-1 medical expired some were asked to redo it after the interview.  

so i think it really depends on your situation and the officer.   I think best not to redo it unless you are specifically told to do it.  

Yeah, it very depends. Someone just replied me that s/he got RFE at interview for not having I-693 despite the fact that his/her medical exam is still valid and DS 3205 is showing complete.

Are you guys going to call them? 

 

or just ignore the online update and go by the letter that we received in mail?

I'm definitely not calling. Hubby thinks that if we call they will think there has been an error and they may cancel the interview. I'm not too worried because the official letter is correct.

So I just went on another forum that I don't like and their pages are all a buzz with January filers receiving their interview letters but online case status showing employment based instead of family based. It looks like this is far more widespread than I initially thought. I am starting to panic, thinking that maybe there has been some huge error somewhere. I really need my AP or GC before June I'll be devastated if this turns out to be a USCIS error.

Don't worry abt it. Take your letter and go to your interview as if u didn't even get the update. At least that's what I would've done!! Good luck

Hi everyone. 

I'm a February filer but thought I may as well ask here too. 

 

I got a RFIE asking for my English birth certificate to be translated into English. I was expecting it but I'm still annoyed obviously. 

I sent my stuff off to a translator but they said they cannot do that as it is not a translation.

Can all UK people who had to also have this done help please. Can I do the translation myself?

And here I thought I was the pessimist.

 

Everything will be okay because it has to be. *fingers crossed*

Can you clarify? Why does an English birth cert need translating?

Your guess is as good as mine. Basically all UK filers have had this problem.

We all assume the issue is because birth certificates in the UK are hand written.

Mine is hand written and I haven't received any RFEs throughout the whole process.  It's pretty badly hand written too.
