Well, you were right. Got approval notice today - one month before our 2 year anniversary! I guess they want that extra money to renew the GC in 2 years! But either way, we are happy we made it this far! So happy to be joining everyone! Hoping the GC doesn't take too long to arrive. We have a cruise planned in early September and am hoping to avoid getting a visa to Canada. Thanks everyone for hanging in there!
So we had our interview on June 6 and still waiting for a decision. It seems odd that they wait so long after interview (and waiting like 2 years for the interview). One would think they had all their research done prior to interview and the interview was just a final check. Our case status still says 'interview was scheduled'. Hope they didn't forget about us! lol
Happy news for us! Finally got notice of interview!!! No date that I can see so I guess we wait for letter! Yahoo! I think we are the last ones in the group.
oh wow! well, hey, it is finally here! I wish I could say we got same notice, but we didn't. but congratulations to you! and best of luck on the exams! keep us posted on how the interview goes. oh and BTW how far out was it scheduled?
Hello! Still nothing on our end. the MyProgress tab is useless. has gone from 2 weeks to 1 week back to 2 months and now 'your case is taking longer than expected'. But it does say at step 3 - waiting for interview (if necessary).
We did call and found out our case is at the local office. For whatever that is worth. Am hopeful it will be soon though. I would think/hope that if it is in local office, it is to be expected soon?
Wow - thanks for this. I just looked and it says ours should have a decision in 1 week! We are in WI so I guess it is national.
Hopefully you have good news coming soon.
Did you ever get the EAD? We did get a combo card in July I think.
Looking forward to some holiday cheer soon! Hopefully for all of us.
Nothing much happening with us either. He did get a combo card in July so I guess that’s good. Have you called him to inquire at all? I wonder if that does anything. I was wondering if I called in at least somebody would look at the file, and maybe that would prompt some thing, but I doubt it. Well at least we are together with our loved ones.
did you get a notice prior to the RFE asking you to get medical? We got a notice saying get the 693 but hold it for either interview or RFE.
and, as recommended, get it done and hopefully you are on the way to a green card. Note that everyone charges different prices for the 693 medical. I called about 6 places and picked the cheapest.
It's odd that the cost of the exam varies depending upon who you go to. I have found costs from $165 to $350. The letter said get exam and wait for interview or RFE if no interview required. Praying for no interview and just mailing in the results.
I am still confused as to if everyone applying for AOS has to get the exam done in the US. or were we just unlucky?
but we have the appointment for this week (yeah). so moving forward.
thank you all
