Hi everyone

so i got my AOS interview letter today! it will be on april 19th and in the letter there is a list of papers i need to bring and one of them is a copy of my J1 visa ... do u think it is a mistake? that they meant K1? i did have a couple of J1s before, but why would they want to see it now?

anyway, if somebody knows let ME know.

Exactly. I just think they want to see copies of all your US visas. Why they want to see them? I don't know but one should never question the all mighty authority of the USCIS.

Bring everything they ask for -- if it turns out that this is not needed, all the better. But I'd have everything ready in case you get asked for documentation at the interview.

09-02-2005 Applications for AOS, EAD, and AP received by MSC

10-21-2005 AOS fingerprint notice for 12-08-2005

11-07-2005 AP approved

12-05-2005 Infopass appt at San Jose office for interim EAD -- Refused, because it is already approved by MSC on 11-07-2005

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

12-08-2005 Biometrics for AOS and EAD. Having no EAD appt letter was no problem (used EAD NOA)

12-15-2005 EAD arrived in the mail

12-24-2005 Received interview letter; interview scheduled 03-01-2006

01-28-2006 Received replacement SSN card in married name (5 wks since application)

03-01-2006 AOS interview -- approved; received stamp in the passport

03-13-2006 Green card arrived in the mail

Some J1 visas have a two year home residancy requirement before you can adjust status in the United States. Maybe they are just checking that yours is not one of them.

I had a J1 before my K1 also. They just want confirmation that you were not subject to the Home Residency Rule. Make sure to take you DS-2019s as well, look on the back of those forms to see who is subject to HRR.
