March 2018 AOS Filers

[mysticdolphin95 431]

We just moved from our original filing local office (Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN) to one that seems to be much quicker (Buffalo, NY).  We got the 'ready to interview' notice in late August 2018, but - interestingly - our case just updated on the USCIS site to show: "As of February 12th, your case is ready for interview..."  

 

Not sure why it's updated to give us the same status on a different date, but perhaps a good sign?  Nearly to our case's first birthday!

i485 filed on March 31st -2018 (EB1A, PD: Sep-2017); I have a traffic ticket ($700) and furnished all the necessary information and documentation (actual ticket, court notices, clearance and public notary signed addendum. I received EAD-AP but no further improvement in my case. USCIS Case Status shows : We finished review of your fingerprints and currently working on your Form i485.

My question:

1. How long does it take to get the interview process ( many of my colleagues have already finished their interviews even-though their priority date is much later than mine )

2. Is there any impact of traffic ticket on the i485 adjustment process.

 

Thanks in advance

nothing new. same old questions that's already provided on the form. only extra question was if we had any ceremony after marriage at the court house. she took the photos and kept it on the file and told us that might help to avoid another interview in 2 years. since my wife came via K1, they already had all the docs. so, other than the USCIS related docs, she didnt ask us for more docs. YMMV

All the best!

Hey Guys,

 

reaching out my Husband sent the AOS to Chicago on March 13th and the tacking said they delivered it to the PO BOX on March 16th.

 

We have not heard anything it is almost 3 weeks from when we sent everything in. they have not cashed the check yet, and they haven't sent anything back.

 

Is this normal? who would we contact to find out if this was received?

 

Thank you for your help!

Yes, this is normal.  For whatever reason, they take their time processing the 485 packet.

 

Also, this is the 2018 March filers forum, you might find more use in the 2019 March filers forum

Had our interview today in Buffalo, NY.  Scheduled for 7:45am but we weren't seen until 8:30am or so (typical!).  Standard stuff, as everyone else has reported: swearing in, reviewing 485 application, asking a few questions about our relationship and taking some evidence documents for the file (she wanted one of our bank statements, one of our electric bills, a copy of our car's title, our leases, and our photos).  Advised that card would come 10-14 days after approval, and to call if it took more than 30.  Out in about 10 minutes, I think.

...aaaaaand within hours of our interview, got the "New Card Being Produced" notification!
