Hey March filers, hows everyone doing?

We are awfully quiet on the forum, guess we are all just busy working and living life while waiting for more information.....

Hoping to get our green card interview schedule by early next year 🙏🙏🙏

Hubby went to his 2nd biometrics today. Went smoothly. Hopefully we can get an interview scheduled soon.

Hi, March 2020 AOS Filers 

I received the second biometrics (I-131) appointment after I finished the first one and received EAD card. I am waiting for the response from the office but I would like to contact them again.

Do you know how to reach out to them? I tried Live Chat and Contact Center Call, but they don't work right now. (Live Chat worked for me before but not this time 😓)

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I went to the 2nd biometrics and received the response from USCIS after that. The representative told me that the 2nd biometric appointment notice was error since I already received EAD card. However, they could not say that I did not need to go there even it was error. Hope I can have AOS interview soon!

Same thing happened to me. I went to second biometrics last week. Still waiting!

Hi March guys!!!

How are you doing? We are quiet a.f on forum 😂

Any interview appointments yet?

 

Mine said "Ready to scheduled an interview" from Aug. Didn't know that USCIS needs that much time to prepare an interview for me. Feel like a super celebrity or something 😂

Help. I am SO confused! I read in an AOS portal, coming from K1 and adjusting status after marriage, the documents I only needed was I-485, I-944, I-765 and I-864. Here I do not see I-944 but instead see I-131. Can someone please clarify?

@SJordanS

You got this list from the March 2020 AOS thread. These were the requirements at THAT time. Each month has different requirements.

 I-131 is the form for Advanced Parole, so if you want to travel before you get your greencard, you should file it. 

I-944 has been a bit of a confusing thing, it used to be required, then it wasn´t, and from what it looks like on the official USCIS website, it is required now again.
