Received interview notice for AOS I-485

[Kittykisses73 1]

Ok this has been a relatively short journey for us so far and I just have a question or two. . . .hundred

We filed our package (I-130/765/485) Feb 2009. As you can see from our timeline, we have been thru biometrics, and husband received his EAD last Saturday in the mail. We have gone and applied for his social security card and are awaiting its arrival.

Today we get a notice in the mail they have scheduled an interview for our AOS I-485 application for July 20.

We have never heard anything on our I-130, my petition for him to stay. Is that normal?

We sent them all in the same time, we had an RFE for his medical which we promptly took care of and that was for the EAD.

Do they often skip the I-130? Anything I need to bring other than the 2 zillion documents I currently have prepared? Is there something unusual about this? I am very confused and of course anything dealing with USCIS flips me out

Any help would be very much appreciated. . . .

They will adjudicate the i-130 at the time of the interview, at least they did in our case.

Absolutely normal. I am adjusting from tourist and sent out the I-130 seperately from the AOS application. Both applications were 2 months apart. My I-130 is pending since 11-26-2008. Although I knew, but just to be sure about it, i contacted CRIS yesterday and fired the question about my I-130 interview. Since I got to speak to a higher level Officer than the Operator, I was able to get some credible info. He said, that the I-130 is being attached to my I-485 and since an interview is required, I-130 at this stage will not be given priority. Both cases will be decided when I am called in for the I-485 interview. Congratulations! Your interview date was pretty fast. I am still biting my nails!!!!! Argggh!

ME too funny! Funny thing is we just had a blow out in our pretty blue immigration folder sides split clean out of it, so I just told my husband the other night we needed a good three ring binder with some page protectors. So today I went to the office store and bought it and when he got home from running errands the letter was there about the interview.

I am going to work myself senseless till then getting everything in order! We have been very fortunate so far the process has been painless and the people at all immigration offices have been very kind and helpful so I hope it continues for us (all four of us!)

Much luck and happiness and I will share the documents I get together (maybe you would do the same) so we cover all our bases!

Thanks very much again and how funny that your papers and ours are so close together and we are in the same area! Too funny!

I have all the forms (photo copies), copies of all photos since he arrived, joint bank acct info, car registration in both names, letter from grandmother stating we live there (we take care of her so that's why we live with her), wedding announcements, more pages of phone calls than we can count, cards from his family in Australia & mail to us both here, certified copies of wedding certificate, beautiful rings (wedding & engagement) copies of the med exam, divorce docs, & am still gathering stuff! Please advise what you are preparing maybe all of us together will help think of things the other didn't! Nice to know we don't have to go this alone.

Saspak I do feel totally fortunate about the amount of time everything has taken. I have read many posts where people have waited months to get where we are. We received his EAD on May 9 & applied for SS number on May 12. It's been a smooth ride do far, hope it all goes as well & hope that you get your interview notice soon!

Hi friends!

Kim I did the same I bought three ring binder, with the plastic pages, and something that I am doing is bring all the original with its copy, like birth certificates, marriage documents, my husby divorce document, because I have read that they could ask for copies to keep, I know we already sent but I am doing just in case. I have also cars insurance, the car that he bought for me is in both names, joint bank account,apartment lease, and all that kind of stuffs, this week I am going to print a bounch of pics that we have in the computer from the digital camera, i have tried taken pictures whereever we go out, with his parents who we visit every month, and well trying to do our best. I am not really scared because we have been together for 7 months (I got here oct 16/ 2008) just 7 month today! but for us it seems to be much more.

I wish you the best in your interview ( all that have one pending)..and thanks for share with us your information!

Today, to my delight, I had a letter from USCIS waiting for me in the mailbox. The Blue logo put a smile on my face as I knew that it meant only one thing. The long awaited interview letter. And there it was. Got a date for July 21st, 2009. Best of Luck to all, including me! Thank you KittyKisses73 and friends for your well wishes and support.
