I think it was only taken less than 7 minutes. I walked into the Application Center office, I saw only 4 people was waiting in line. The staff checked my appointment letter and passport. And then she gave me the form to filled up. After that I return the form and waiting in line. After a minute of waiting, I came into separate open room. They take my picture and fingerprints.

I had my biometrics done today in a small town of York, PA. A bit of a bummer that it was set up for 8 am, meaning waking up after 4 am to leave at 5.30 as it 2-2,5 hour drive one way.

The office opens at 8 am and they don't let you go inside earlier. We were waiting in the car and somehow a few people managed to get in front of us but it turned there were only 2 people but one person came with a husband and a child, another with somebody else.

They give you a form to fill in and I was puzzled that apart from a few very simple questions they ask for weight and hight which you can say in kilograms and centimeters if you want.

The stuff was friendly, everybody was given an evaluation form at the end so I guess they want to be evaluated well! But one think that I did not like, they take just one picture and the person doing them could be more helpful. Later you can see the picture on the screen and I am sorry to say I looked like a fugitive from the prison next door with the hair sticking out! Not the impression I wanted!

But overall very easy and fast. There was not even a metal detector gate to go through.

just received the 3 NOA1 physical letters! quick question I never clarified during the K1 process:

on the VJ timeline there's two fields: "Filing date" and "NOA date for I-485/others". I'm filling them with the dates on the "RECEIVED DATE" and "NOTICE DATE" fields on top of the NOA1s. is that what you did?

It's a nice feeling to get them in the mail! Yes, this is how I understand it.

Hi Guys,

 

Sorry for my incompetence, but I have a few questions. Hoping someone can help.... We just got married this week and now I am completing the AOS forms. I am the foreign citizen here on K1 visa.

• Where do I get “A-Number” that goes on top of every page?
• Part 1 - 11.  USCIS Online Account Number?  Is this the WAC number?
• Part 1 - 14.  Do you have to complete an alternative mailing address or can you just leave it blank?
• Part 1 - 24.  What is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your last arrival)?  Do I just leave this blank?
• Part 5 - How many times have you been married?  This is my first marriage, so do I put 0 or 1?
• The form is also not allowing me to write N/A is the sections I don’t have any info.. it say only letters and hyphen.  Can I just put “N A”

Thanks in advance for any responses.

First part moves quick up until biometrics appointment. After that, it's a waiting game, unless you're lucky.

We had biometrics on the same day, today!
Now, the roulette starts... Will we wait a long time like some people who filed last July and still don't have the interview scheduled or we will be like those in January and even February who have their interviews scheduled...

[Tella&T 183]

February filer posted that. Good to know.

I need to know if my husband needs to file a separate affidavit and provide income evidence if he is not the actual sponsor ( because he has no job anymore). His father is the joint sponsor. thanks!
