@GPack! From the timeline that I see in your posts, sounds like our processes are moving pretty close, which makes sense since we are both in Milwaukee. I filed on 02/24, had my first bio cancelled for 4/01, and then had my bio on 10/19. Only difference is that I have not received a second biometrics for I-131. Let me know if you hear anything on your EAD, because that might be a good indication for me as well!

Status just updated to "ready to be scheduled for an interview". Hope you hear about your case soon too! @LGCS98

@GPack! Great to hear! Hopefully the same happens to mine as well.

I have a general question. How long we can stay outside of US if we have valid conditional green card? Also, have valid ( till Aug 2021) travel document .

Hi guys, yesterday I got my EAD and also advance parole on same card. And do you maybe know when should I get SSN? I thought that it will come in same time.

i believe is the same as the normal green card 6 months , but remember the longer you stay outside of the u.s it will be counted against you whenever you apply for removal of conditions because you should be staying in the u.s the longest time as well as when you file for citizenship these are questions that are in their application , i think the longest i was out of the country while on conditional green card was a month. they may also ask you if you stay out longer the reason for it.

my mom received hers about a week after her EAD and my dads took about 3 weeks.

I'm in the same situation. My father was diagnosed with cancer back in May and so I intended to spend more time with him over the conditional period once I receive my GC, especially as he's going through chemo.

 

I'll be making sure to gather evidence such as doctors notes, diagnosis's, communication with my family etc so that if it does come up then I can explain and prove it. As long as you can prove you had a legitimate reason, I don't think they're going to fault you for it.

 

It might be worthwhile to seek the advice of an immigration lawyer as well.

You’re welcome! I tried it last Friday and I was surprised that it actually works 😅

Had our Green Card Interview today which went very smoothly and got approved!

 

Was asked questions about the documentation that was originally submitted and a couple of basic relationship questions with my spouse. The officer let me know that he then approved the application and to expect the card within the month.

 

Really easy and seamless experience, I was annoyed that my spouse didn't get any hard questions so they could share in my immigration pain but much happier that the process went well.

Congrats

yeah . I will check with lawyer. thanks for suggestion.

I read below on uscis website

***Re-entry Permit

Permanent or conditional residents should apply for a re-entry permit if they will be outside the United States for one year or more. While it is valid, a re-entry permit allows you to apply for admission to the U.S. without having to obtain a returning resident visa from a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Go to our Form I-131, Application for Travel Document page for information on how to apply.

We already have combo card.

07/28/20 - Your request to change address was completed 

--------FO changed to Denver, CO--------

08/12/20 - I called USCIS to confirm the address change (no change of address letter ever received). I also asked tier 1 where my case is located (Answered: NBC), that's why I believed my case was never scheduled for interview

11/10/20 - Your case is approved (both I-130 and I-485)

 

I was really nervous and searched a lot on VJ when I received the "we cancelled your interview" after my address change, so I hope this would provide a bit information to people like me

I'm nervously waiting for my GC to come in mail now. Looking forward to this free-of-uscis time before filing I751.

Hope everyone get interview and GC sooooon!!

Thank you for a detailed response! What a trip! I hope you get some happy rest now.

 

can you elaborate what details they went into? Most recent interviews have been short and basic so kind of curious about it.
