APRIL 2018 AOS FILERS

[QN&CD 14]

Hi guys,

 

Please share your experience if you had the same experience. My i485 case status has been changed to the below since 10/22.

 

"Interview Cancelled: on October 22, 2018, we cancelled the interview scheduled for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number xyz . We will notify you by mail if the appointment is rescheduled, a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you"

 

The point is I have never been scheduled for an AOS interview and did not receive anything related to the interview appointment both via mail and email. I am kind of confused, so if you know anything, please advise. Thanks a lot. My local office should be San Francisco.

Its been a busy month but finally have time to sit down and write this out.

 

On Nov 6, had my greencard interview at San Jose office. Had to wait almost half an hour after my appt. time even though we rocked up earlier than the time. (So about 45-50 min wait). The lady was very nice. She went through the i-485 form questions and updating any changes (my new job, husband's job promotion with salary and title etc.) We provided some forms from our original packet that she said she couldn't find in the packet in front of her. She asked some questions about us, how we met, if we met each other's families, if we plan to have kids etc. She took our evidence of relationship (photos with family, lease agreement, health insurance etc) After the interview she took my fingerprint and gave us a letter about the process and that we are pending approval. Later that night around 7pm, I got a text update saying that it was approved.

 

According to the updated status, Green card will be in my hand today. Nov 15.

Congrats! May I ask what documents did she need that weren’t in the file?

 

we failed to make a copy of our 485 before sending it 😔 and our interview is tomorrow morning.

485 Approval Question

 

Upon approval does this mean one can work in the U.S. and leave the U.S. for only two years?

 

 I am confused about why the AOS from K1 visa is only valid for two years.

 

Will I lose my job if working in the U.S. when my two years is up?

They will send you a tracking code and you can track it from there. Be patient

It is conditional for two years, meaning you will have to file for Removal of Conditions within 90 days before those two years are up for a 10 Year Green Card.

On October 22nd I also got a letter through saying that my EAD/AP had been approved. The letter said that they would send my card separately. My case online never changed either, it still says “case recieved” 

 

I have not recieved my EAD-AP card STILL.

 

However, I have my AOS interview tomorrow.

Can someone shed some light because i feel i am in a mess. 😔  We tried to have my name in my husbunds bank account and house bills but i dont have a ssn so it cant be done. I applied for a ssn one month before my i-94 expired. 4 weeks went by after applying and i was told it could not be done because my i94 was close to or just expired (I cant remember what the guy said), so basically i have no documents to prove my marriage is legit except photos, marrige cert, and chat logs. Im sp worried this is not enough. 😞

They never updated on the new website for us (the one with the account). The one without the account updated for us.

hi guys!! Can you guys share your crossing with AP Card experiences, We are 50/50 on traveling in Dec. My husband hasn't seen he's family in 1.5 year, it would be nice to travel to mexico. Any opinion, suggestions, and advice would be very very helpful!

An update here, my interview is scheduled. I filed in early April, and the field office is one of the slowest, Denver. The trend has been that people wait for 11 months for their interviews, so I thought mine was going to come in March. 

 

Does this mean all the paperwork and record of criminal or illegal activities were all examined, and I was clear of all? I have not been involved in any illegal activities to the best of my knowledge, but I've heard of cases where one works illegally without even realizing it. I am more anxious than I need to be about such a possibility. 

 

Is interview conducted mostly to double-check what's on the forms, and determine the legitimacy of the marriage (if family-based)?
