Congrats! Now on to the waiting like the rest of us!

Hey everyone! I just got my case updated for “ready to be scheduled for an interview”. Did my biometrics October 22. Following the August filers seems like here in San Diego the cases are not going so slow, so hopefully will have interview schedule soon!

Got a case update today for the Adjustment of Status - Ready to be Scheduled for Interview. Her biometrics was done on Oct. 2nd. Good thing for fast processing in the research triangle.

It was faster than I was expecting! Same day and already changed to “interview schedule”! I got really excited! Now just waiting  for the letter on the mail!

Hi all September AOS filers! I have been a silent observer since my K1 application, but moved to Texas in July this year. I just thought I would post my updates so far, as they have shocked me! 

I sent the entire AOS packet (along with EAD and AP) just before Labour Day weekend, and it was received on September 6th. I went ahead and got my driving license in August and then when my 90 days were up from my I-94, this expired! I was told this could not be renewed until my Social Security Card matched my new marital name (I already had my SSN from a previous J-1 Visa). For some reason this had been a huge problem for the people at the Social Security Office and they could not perform a simple name change due to immigration issues, and said to come back when I had my EAD or Green Card. 

 

Very much defeated I booked an appointment online with USCIS at the Dallas Field Office for that week...I guess I got lucky. The man who served me was understanding and actually put an expedite request in for me. He said he couldn’t guarantee that it would work, as it was still quite early and my timeline had suggested around late December/early January for my EAD/AP approval. Without much hope, I left and went back to waiting. However, 3 days later I checked my app and had been approved! I received my notice of action in the mail that week, and had my combo card in hand on Tuesday 6th November. 

 

My Green Card is now ready for interview, but who knows how long that could be. So, what I would say is, if you can get in at any field office...do it, because it was amazingly worth it for me!

Hi, that's great news for you.  I'm also from the uk and moved to Texas  around the same time as you. I had a similar problem with a SSN and am now waiting for my EAD card. What did you say to get an appointment and expedite?  I'm not too concerned about the green card, however I need the SSN for insurance purposes.

I scheduled an appointment online on the USCIS website. You just type in your details and go with the next best date! 

 

When I was down there I just explained my situation. So how my DL had expired, was stuck unable to get myself around etc. Also, my Granddad died a few weeks ago and I mentioned how it had been tough not being able to go home for the funeral. The man wrote all this in the expedite request I believe, and I guess I was just very lucky!

This is a long shot but does anyone have an interview scheduled already?

Or when someone eventually does can you provide a screenshot of the requested documents it states? 

I've seen many posted elsewhere but I'd like to see a current one from ppl I "know", lol.

Gracias!

Hello. I would like to ask if there is anyone here who filed their AOS after their 90-day period? I got married last week of October 2018 and my visa expired on November 6. We had to wait for the arrival of the Marriage Certificate which only arrived yesterday (Nov 13) which means I am filing my AOS beyond the visa expiry date. Anyone can help please and what did you do? Thank you.

Don't worry you can fill your AOS normally, what matters is that you got married within the 90 days. Just don't lose too much time to send the application tough.

That means that they ran your background check after your biometrics, and your case had been transferred to your local USCIS office if I'm right.

 

Now depending on your local office it can take a couple of weeks to several months for them to actually schedule your interview.
