Rating: | Review Topic: Adjustment of Status
Today we had our interview for adjustment of immigrant status to a probational green card. Deysi and I had heard so many horror stories that of course we had some grounds for our concern. The morning started off by getting up 50 minutes later then we had planned giving us 40 minutes to bathe, dress and drive across town to our 8:30 AM appointment. We made it at 8:29 AM.
The interview was conducted by a real nice gentleman who really did nothing more than swear us in, check identification and ask a few pertinent questions like name and address. Basically he shuffled paperwork, condensed files and answered our questions. He gave us recommendations for our final round of paperwork and interview in July of 2008. He just handled the whole thing with the three of us in the room in a truly professional manner. It was just about the easiest part of the whole process.
At the end of the interview he informed us that the probational green cards would be in the mail and we should expect to receive them within three weeks. He told us Deysi and Feysy can travel abroad by merely using these probationary cards and when we re-enter the country just go directly through American custom as citizens.
Other items discussed were dates for refiling the lifting of conditions from probational green card. I was of the impression needed to file that 90 days prior to your 2nd wedding anniversary. I was told that needed to be filed 90 days prior to the expiration of the probational card. And if you did not receive the permanent green card by the expiration date your probationary card and a copy of the reciept that that application had been recieved will work until you receive your permanent card. He told us when applying for conditions to be lifted file only one form and one fee for Deysi (as mother of juvenile child). Just write Feysy's name(child) on the back of form. He said if all paperwork is in order more than likely no interview will be necessary. This whole interview process was so well handled. I feel fortunate I live in Boise Idaho and my local office operates in such a professional manner. Yahoo we were approved!
