Ok guys i have a question and i know that i'm getting paranoid. Few weeks ago i received this notice:

The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.

The question that i have is does it meant that it's transfer to California or to my homestate office. Thanks for any replys.

Anisa, your timeline says that you were transferred on 11/19. Did you receive a hardcopy notice saying that it was transferred to CSC. I recieved one, but I also received an update like the one you posted saying that it ARRIVED @ CSC and is now being processed there. The 2nd message I got, also exactly like yours did not specify CSC like yours.

45 days later....... Still no EAD approval!

What's going on? I see other ppl who filed before and after me getting approved right on the oct avg!?!

So frustrated.........

I'm sorry if anybody got confused. Here is what i received in the first email

On November 19, 2009, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action.

Here what i got in the second email:

The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.

I didn't have time to call them today but hopefully tomorrow and to see what's going on. Thank you everyone for all your help.

Hello,

Today I received my interview appointment letter, for Januray 15th. On the list they give you of stuff to bring to the interview, they say to bring the I-693 if you haven't already submitted it. The thing is that I never sent them that, and they never asked for it with a RFE, I guess because I gave them the medical examination and vaccination info in a closed envelope when I entered the country.

Does anybody know if I need to bring that or not? Any ideas?

Elafito, my husband didnt submit the I-693 also, cuz he gave the medical exam and vaccination in the seal envelope when he entered the country, so Im thinking the same thing, if we should do one or what? we never received RFE also... i hope somebody knows...

Today I went to a civil surgeon to get the vaccinations part of the I-693 form done. It cost $55 with one vaccination. If I had had them all I would have cost $20. =)

Thanks to all that helped me.

Hi ya'll!

I found you a little late...but we're Oct. filers too!

I was very glad to find this forum.

So my spouse and I turned in his AOS in October (Oct. 30 to be exact). AND... we already recieved a I-797C Notice of Action saying:

"REQUEST FOR APPLICANT TO APPEAR FOR INITIAL INTERVIEW" FOR "FORM 1-485 APPLICATION TO REGISTTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

and it's in January!

What is this? is this THE interview that you have and then a few weeks later get your greencard? or is this an EXTRA interview (the "initial interview" part makes me nervous) before the REAL interview just to get us to jump through more hoops? Anyone have a clear idea on this...? Should we we happy, thinking my spouse might get his green card in January if everything goes good at the interview? or is this a false alarm and really it's just an initial interview and the real interview will come at some unknown later date?

We'd REALLY appreciate your thoughts on this, those of you who know! (also even if we had an interview on Jan. 14, how quickly could he get his green card?)

PLUS: they ask for a "completed medical examination I 693" and "a complete affidavit of support form I 864" but that's all the stuff we turned in with the AOS application, so we don't need to bring it right? Maybe just a copy to be safe?

AND: And can I as his spouse also be his interpreter? (sure hope so!)

THANKS!

Claire and Cristhian

That is your interview notice and you have to bring them unless you handed it in with the case.

[mamaronga 2]

thanks inky, well we already submitted the Affidavit and the medical exam along with the rest of our AOS paperwork as that is what they required, is it not?

so i don't understand why any one would of NOT turned in these things already....

just want to clarify

Anisa -I do not believe you need to worry. I got those two exact messages as well. The way they worded it throws you off, but others have gotten that same 2nd message as well. I believe HeatDeath said he did as well in his post. You can clarify with USCIS by calling, but HeatDeath was transferred and just got his approval for GC last week without interview at local office.
