9 months after AOS Interview

[sussemadel 16]

I am so confused. We had our AOS Interview in December 08. We didn't receive at the time of Interview anything- no Congratulations letter, nothing in the mail...nothing at all until about a month ago, 2 Dept. of Homeland Security employees came to my front door and asked to come in to ask questions and look around for what I'm assuming is proof that we're living together. They stayed maybe 3 minutes at the most and told me they had what they needed, but didn't want to answer any of my questions and left.

Fast forward to today. Got an ASC appointment notice that asks for my husband to appear at the nearest application support center to have biometrics taken.

Has this happened to anyone else and is this finally an appt. to get the conditional green card???

They have been doing visits lately.

The ASC appointment is for your hubby to get his picture and fingerprints taken, part of the process.

Good luck.

I believe this would be his second biometrics if they already had a interview.

You're right Haole. He's already had the interview, has his work authorization card that's not expiring. I need answers as to why this NOA at the top left states this appointment is for I485 and I765. Why would we need to go again and get his biometrics taken when he's already had it done? I was thinking maybe after this home investigation we would get something in the mail stating his card production had been ordered.

Has anyone had this happen to them, or does anyone know why this has happened?

Biometrics ( finger prints ) are valid for 12 or 15 months. If it has been longer than this since his last fingerprints they get them updated. This may be a good sign that the GC may be on its way once they update the fingerprints

Its been 9 months since our AOS Interview too. We were told that the interviewere was going to recommend appoval, and still we have not heard anything. So it seems like it is a wait and see game. What field office did you go through. It wasn't the Philadelphia office was it?

[sussemadel 16]

We had the Interview at the Seattle office. I'm so sorry you're going through this too, bassagitator. It's so aggravating to see people go to their Interview and get a Congratulations letter in the mail a week later and shortly thereafter, their greencard.

Do you think that they might have any reason to do a Home Investigation? We had one about a month ago, and now we get this Biometrics appt. letter in the mail yesterday.

it sounds like this my might be all they need and u should be getting good news soon, if they saw something wrong you would not have gotten bio appoint ment, they simply want to update his fingerprints and and pic. i heard of a case like this earlier this year here in san diego and after a couple days after the bio appoint she got her welcome email. i don't recall the name of the person but it was here on visajourney. as long as everything is on the up and up you should be fine.

we had our interview on january 16, 2009, and have received no ruling. we have filed official inquiries, gone twice to infopass, everything. but no ruling. the interview was easy- we had tons of evidence, they asked very few questions, and there didn't seem to be any problem.

we are told they are still waiting on a final "check" (though the infopass people can't seem to tell us what that "check" is). the website doesn't even show that we've had an interview- i truly believe we've been put on a shelf and forgotten. we've just had to reapply for EAD and AP. even with the AP papers, they told my husband (who has a 9 year old son back in Peru) that they don't recommend him traveling until his case is approved!

we were hoping they would pay us a visit at home just to show them it's all valid, but now i'm dreading that possibilty as i've read on VJ that you really shouldn't let them into your house. it's quite a conundrum.

i feel your pain, but it sounds like you may be on your way now. good luck!!!
