No, we need to go to the consulate in person.

They usually send representative of the consulate every couple of months to every major city of the states that they do cover. You might want to check with your consulate.

Then, you make an appointment and turn in your paperwork in person. :)

AOS Approved on 10-17-08 (details in profile)

Removal of Conditions on 07-19-10

In this tedious process, we tend to forget that this is all worth it.

I love my hubby beyond anything in this world.

I am a little worried (it is what i do best, to be honest!).

In the worst case that the interview letter gets lost in the mail and i never hear of it, i am in trouble.

Is it true if i don't show up to the interview, my case is automatically denied? This is just scary.

USPS is not known for its reliability. I wish USCIS would send all important mails with signature confirmation or something a tad more safe.

Just worried. :unsure::(

I have been reassured by what I have read online. It is pretty much a consensus that an expired passport with the I-551 stamp, in combination with a valid passport, is enough to gain reentry. Whew, I think we are going to be just fine. :D

Ooooh can I join please? I know I already have an interview date but my I-130 or I-485 haven't been touched in ages!

I used to be an obsessive stalker of USCIS as well (until the interview notice came in, then my interest dropped dramatically). Funny, when my company applied for an H-1B they hired an attorney and I didn't even realize anyone was working on it and then one day I would just get the approval notice and copies of everything they had filed. Can't decide which way is better, but it is kind of fun to go through the process with all you fellow Feb filers.

Congrats to recent successes, and I can join you:

I GOT APPROVED (received email as of yesterday) FOR TRAVEL AND FOR WORKY!

Sorry to not be on here playing...I am visiting with in-laws (my sweetie's father is close to the end of his life) and do not have internet access where I am staying.

Lugging my laptop to a café at times to see what is up with close friends, family and the immigration process.

That is all.

I hope to hear that all February filers get approved ASAP!
