ans,

congratulations on your interview notice.

there have been instances when some people have been called for I-485 (adjustment) interview prior to EAD card approval. if you get approved at that time then you wouldn't need the EAD card as you'll have your green card then which allows you to work.

since the I-130 was submitted with the I-485, this I think is processed almost simultaneously together and should get approved either before or together with the I-485 approval.

good luck on your interview.

Hi Ans.

Well touched means that some kind of work was perform on your file.

How do u know your case was touch?

A. Because your last update DATE has changed.

I talked to my lawyer last week and she told me don't panic, just take with u what u have:

Lease.

Pic.

Letter from friend.

Cell phone.

She also told me that they can't ask me for too much because we didn't get the EAD yet, but you have to bring some kind of proof to avoid a new appoiment.

c u later.

cameleon.... I am in the same group of people, and I am in such a big panic and I am scared that we don't have enough....I asked you in other thread - what kind of proof cell phones are - do you have pre paid or some plan?

ans - yes, it is interview for a green card, my interview letter arrived one day before my EAD was approved, two days later my EAD card came in mail, on Monday I am gonna apply for SSN - and if employer will agree to hire me while my SS application is pending I will start work soon.

But I am so scared that we will not make it on the interview.....

good luck to all of you

In General:

Mail addressed to either of you, delivered to the same address, is also valid proof that you live together.

Maybe one person has the electric bill, another has school papers.. etc.

Hi there,

I am going through DORA in Dallas and I didn't have an SSN or EAD before my interview. Just gather as much as possible. We have a checking and savings account through wells fargo and they only required my passport for us to open that account. Get a couple of letters from close friends attesting to your marriage and photos are a must. They are looking for joint assets so anylease or joint memberships you have in a gym or any society together should be added to your package. if your spouse has life insurance at work get you name put as beneficiary and get a copy of the document stating that. Thats one thing that we were asked for that we got as a last minute extra.

Good luck!
