Hi everyone  

 

So I decided to proceed with my request about I-485 status update with the congressman and sent them whatever USCIS asked to release info about my case. In a couple hours, we got a response from USCIS and they basically said my file was waiting in queue for interview. And today I got a letter from my local USCIS Office and I was in tears for 10 minutes. Interview Letter for October 22nd. I can’t wait to close this period of my life which has been full of worries. I was thinking it would take at least another 6-12 months for an interview. I was in shock with this letter. I’m wondering if contacting my congressman made it any quicker because the letter was sent just after my congressman reached out to them but who knows. 
 

The idea of being free of all these worries....being free free.....finally having the freedom to move in case I want/need to because I have been avoiding it so that my mailing with USCIS wouldn’t be affected, etc etc etc. I haven’t even got a Greencard yet but it’s so f***ing close and I can’t wait for it. I wanna drink until I loose my consciousness even though I’m not a heavy drinker. Feelings... and more feelings....that’s been suppressed for so long now. Hardest time of my life so far....is about to be over. I just can’t believe I got this letter today. My feelings are all mixed together 🙈
 

Now I’m asking you to share with me how you guys prepared for your interview. What documents did you take with you? I don’t have a lawyer so I’ll be on my own. Please if someone has a checklist or the list you made before your interview....I’ll greatly appreciate 🙏🙏🙏 @sandranj @Stillwinning!!!😊 @Shroy123 @Claudia16049

Any VJ family member....please share your experience with me 😊🙈🤞🥰🤗

Hi VJ family. I am in removal proceedings with with a pending i360 since October 2019. My attorney and I are preparing my i485 and i765 as advised by @sandranj and @Demise to send to uscis before October 2, 2020. Those wanting to file concurrently or separately i485, i765, i131 do it before October 2. Because after that date, fees will be separately charged for each application. The i485 will be $1130, i765 Will be550$, 131 will be 590$. If you file before October 2, you will pay the old fee $1225 for everything included. Thank you

I sent birth certificate RFE in June (for I485) and just got interview letter yesterday. I’d suggest contacting your congressman or senator about your case status. Maybe in a month or so. In case you don’t hear anything back. I don’t know if it’s related but I contacted them last week (in my case I waited 2,5 months after I sent the RFE response) and USCIS sent me this interview letter just after my congressman contacted them.
