February 2018 AOS Filers

[harhad 52]

I called the National Customer Service Centre (NSCS) to be extra sure about my courtesy letter and they confirmed that for now my application seems to have all the required information and updated medical report will be required at the time of the Interview

 

However the officer kept on reminding me about "delays" several times in the 6min call. No details to what they may be, but i assume it was meant to be in general about the whole application process

Ok so after looking closely to my RFIE and the Federal tax transcript they want the Total ADJUSTED Gross income not what the sponsor makes but what he claims... and since my husband is self employed he claimed more deductions... and he didnt make the bar, so i am wondering could we do this years tax return and then apply with them orrr do i need a joint sponsor???

I think co-sponsor is your best bet 

[Nikolet Kamenov 77]

Thanks to everyone for the help... We will look for a co-sponsor and we will proceed when ready... for now my application is on hold!

Just thought I would check in and say hi!  We have no updates to report.  Still waiting for the letter from my husband's employer to arrive.  Hopefully it will be here soon so we can get our application moving again!

 

Good luck with finding your joint sponsor @Nikolet Kamenov :).  We will both have our applications back up and running soon!

 

Good luck to everyone else with their RFIEs.  It is definitely a good thing we are getting them quickly so we can resolve them with little delay .

My response was delivered this morning... Can't believe how fast it shipped because we used slowest service in Fedex and est was Thursday by 4:30pm. Finger crossed for courtesy letter next!!!

Hopefully that will be next. Do let us know when you get it and if they update the tracker for the courtesy letter as well just like what they do for RFIE's

I don't think it is the case, a courtesy letter doesn't require any immediate action. But maybe your case will be updated to "ready for interview to be scheduled" soon!

Hmmmm, yeah i heard that from some where else to that usually the next step after the courtesy letter is in fact "ready for interview to be scheduled"

 

What about the EAD combo card then

Those will come from your i-765 and i-131 cases. "Ready for interview" is on the i-485 case.

Stumbled upon an article on CNN which says

 

"It is true that we've issued more RFEs recently. This increase reflects our commitment to protecting the integrity of the immigration system," said USCIS Director Lee Francis Cissna. "We understand that RFEs can cause delays, but the added review and additional information gives us the assurance we are approving petitions correctly."

Great find. That's sad for us though. This long and costly process is going to get even worse.

Hello Friends!! I got my Biometrics done today, was very easy only took us like 10 min the worst part is pass through security, but because it's a federal building we arrived early today around 12 and my appointment was at 3:00 pm but it wasnt people there, the lady was very frendly took my both hands fingerprint, picture (I look very bad bay the way... ) and signature and give me back my appointment letter and told me that I have to save it because has a stamp that says the date and time of my prints  sooo one step less in the process!! Ahh and at the end I filed a survey and comment about more services in that office and I wrote "have AOS interview here" hahaha because they already do the citizenship!! Ahh and they have a sing in the Windows that if we want make an appointment for infopass the office is in MN!!

Yes we crossed the half of the State and was sunny and no so much snow... The part that we live was the worst, but thanks God we finished with this step, I just checked USCIS and still the same without any change "case received".

@JayDGODITRUST I got the biometrics appointment around one and a half week after the NOA 1 ... Sooo fingers crossed my friend!!
