March 2018 AOS Filers

[Diego&Dianna 180]

Our interview is coming up on Tuesday. The nerves are starting to kick in lol. Has anyone here had their interview yet?!

Just got my EAD/AP combo card! Phew - one less thing to worry about. I have a month long trip planned from July 15 - Aug 15. Any tips of traveling with the AP card?

 

My I-485 case also got transferred to the NBC. I'm a little bit worried interview will come in the month I'm away, but I doubt it will come that fast right? How much time in advance does the government give before interview date? A month? Two?

 

Best of luck to everyone!

FINALLY I’m done with AOS 😁😁 Had my Interview this morning. The officer only asked fewww questions from the form, she took my health insurance copy, joint bank account and apartment lease copy and just 5 pictures. :)) Then she said she approved my case and just told me to wait for my greencard :)) 

Goodluck everyone! 💕💕💕

Hey guys, just a quick question.

I had my biometrics done on 04/10, and that was the last that I heard about my case.

The case status online is still we received your case.

Should I be worried about it?

Should I call the USCIS?

Thanks

I'm literally in the same boat as you are. Biometrics was April 9 and nothing but case received for EAD, and that my case is in line for interview for I485. I expect a job offer this week and I plan to to an expedite request for my EAD. It doesn't matter to me how long the actual green card takes, but financially I NEED to work ASAP and need my EAD.

Hey guys! We had our AOS interview today at the Chicago Field Office. It was pretty packed there, we had our interview about an hour after our actual appointment time. We had our attorney with us as well. The immigration officer asked us just about every question you can think of. She went through every single detail/question on the form. Most, if not all the questions were directed towards him. She asked him his name and date/country of birth, she asked him for my name, my date of birth, my birth location, my daughter's name, her date of birth, where she was born. She also asked for my daughter's birth certificate to prove it is not his kid for some reason. She asked him how and when he entered the country this time around, she wanted the exact dates and airports. She then asked him for his current passport and all previous passports, thank God we brought those with us. She asked me only for my state ID or driver's license, I provided her with my driver's license. She asked him about his previous visits to the country and how he entered the country previously before coming here on the K1 visa. She also asked him about a previous student visa he applied for a couple years ago and to me it seemed like she was a bit suspicious on that. She asked him what family he had here as well. She also asked for an original of my divorce certificate since I was married once before my current marriage. She then asked if we had anything further info we wanted to provide so we gave her the typical stuff, our leases, insurance, etc. She didn't take any of our pictures and we came equipped with a huge photo album lol. After we gave her those documents she directed only two questions towards me which were to explain how we met and how many times we visited each other since we did long distance for a long time. After that she did not say anything about us being approved or denied. She gave us a paper saying the case will be held for further review. So we're kind of down because we were somewhat expecting to get approved on the spot since others here have stated that but we're staying positive since she seemed friendly at the end and cracked a couple of jokes about how we met (tinder lol..) Hopefully we'll get an approval as soon as possible. Case status online does not say anything. fingers crossed!
