March 2011 AOS Filers

[AnnieMugaya 3]

Just an uptade on our status:

Our case was transferred to California service center on May 16th. On July 1st we received email notification that the petition was approved and the production of the card has been ordered. Hopefully the card will arrive soon.

Congrats! Short turnaround for you guys compared to us! March 24- July 5th! So crazy! But at least we are both approved!

Congrats! I got the text and email today as well, card production ordered.

When did you receive your green card?

[ryna 132]

Hey guys... I was just wondering...

Of those who were approved without an interview, did you front-load your AOS package with evidence like joint bank accounts, photos, joint utility bills, insurance/beneficiary info, etc.?

Hey guys... I was just wondering...

Of those who were approved without an interview, did you front-load your AOS package with evidence like joint bank accounts, photos, joint utility bills, insurance/beneficiary info, etc.?

Nope. I sent nothing except for the marriage cert. Not even a wedding photo! It wasn't on the VJ list

[th and jv 3]

... in my case, i did not attach any of those you mentioned ...

... got gc approval in 2.5 months ...

... good luck ...

No, I think they randomly select applications that they transfer to CSC to be approved without a interview.

[MarcyLuis 2]

Getting ready to head to Phoenix in a few hours. Our interview is tomorrow morning, we are happy and nervous. I'll let you all know how it goes sometime tomorrow night. =)

I was just curious. I think we just got a slow office/processor again like we did for the K-1...

No, I did not send any photos. Just the marriage certificate + evidence for the I-864, which included the tax information for me (the sponsor). I also recall making copies of his visa, I-94, send two passport photos, and the other things listed on the instructions, but nothing extra.

[MarcyLuis 2]

My husband got approved!!!!

Here is our experience if anyone is interested.

Our interview was scheduled for 10:55am in phoenix AZ. We showed up at 10:00 and my husband went inside to make sure it was the right building. The security officer told him to come back at 10:30 because they were busy. We both went in at 10:30. When we opened the door all that was there was an elevator. We took the elevator up to the 2nd floor and it opened up to a security guard. We handed the security officer our appointment letter and Ids. He made my husband empty his pockets and take off his belt. He looked through my purse and had me walk through the metal detector. Another security officer used the wand on me to check for metal. Then my husband went through the metal detector and we had a seat. The security officer turned in the appointment letter for us.

About 10 minutes later a guy called my husbands name and walked us back to his office. He asked us to sit down and show him our ID's. Then he asked us to stand up and swear to tell the truth and told us we were being video taped. He started looking through the file and checked off names and addresses that matched our ID's. Then asked my husband his date of birth and checked that off. Then he asked for mine and my husbands and our three kids birth certificates and wrote something on his copy's that they were good and returned them to us. Then he asked to see our marriage certificate and wrote on his copy and gave us ours back. Then he stamped our i-130 approved. Then he asked my husband some of the questions from the i-145. Then he asked us why it took us so long to file (we've been married for 5 and a half years). After we answered he stamped the i-485 approved and gave my husband a paper saying he was recommended from approval and should receive the green card within 30 days. We were out of their by 11:20 and he didn't even ask to see our photos or any evidence that I spent so much time preparing lol.

We just got home at 8pm and checked the status online and its says documentation production ordered!!!

Thanks to everyone that answered our questions and gave us advise.
