July 2019 - AOS Filers

[Carpe Vinum 2,330]

We are going for the interview tomorrow. We don't have much evidence besides her being on my health insurance and a couple of utility bills. We had a difficult time with the SSA and verification so no SSN.  Blah...We will give it our best song and dance anyway))). I'll post back on what happens...

Same here but I've got ssn. We don't have utility bills or lease because we live with their parents. I'm hoping that won't be a problem.

It was not a good experience.  I was actually quite disheartened to see first hand how new immigrants in this country can be treated by people with so much power over them.   What a bummer.  But!  He verbally approved us, so that's something!

Awww. What happened? If you can share to us.. are you from Canada? I lived there for 4 years as immigrant and never had any bad experience with Canadians. I can see the difference now that I live in the states.

I am Canadian.  My husband is the USC.  I think we were both taken aback by our IO.  He approved us, and I choose to believe he was using scare tactics on us. The experience didn't place him in a very flattering light.  I'd prefer not to go into detail on a public forum, but it was surprising.

I am in a very similar situation. My RFE response was received on Oct 7th and I have not heard anything else yet. Its getting frustrating as I see people here in the same field office as me (Raleigh, NC) getting interview dates even though my biometrics was before theirs.

And there it is.  Thank you to everyone in this thread for taking this journey with me.  I'm looking forward to seeing you all sail through smoothly.

 

Edited to say: Status updated on new site only, I was prompted to check by emails from USCIS about having taken action on my case.  Old site still says "Interview Was Scheduled".

Just had our interview at Mt Laurel, NJ. Didn't get the immediate approval we hoped for so we are a bit worried. Hope it works out and we hear back soon. Good luck everyone!

When did you apply for AOS?

[Carpe Vinum 2,330]

Just returned from our interview. Recommended for approval. She said she would try to have the approval in the system by the end of the day. The young woman who interviewed us was very professional. Make sure you talk to your spouse about means tested benefits, food stamps, and other welfare programs. My wife was asked if she planned on using any of these benefits specifically and my wife looked at me like "WT& is she talking about." :-)))) I told the interviewer that my wife had no idea about the concept of food stamps or welfare. Overall positive experience. The only bad thing is when we got there (St. Louis) there was no line or system to decide who is next to check in. The applicants had to police themselves. That isn't always going to work. Good luck to everyone else.
