February 2013 AOS filers

[Helpme123 9]

I just finished my interview. My husband and I arrived at the USCIS office at 1410. Appointment is at 1440. She was a very nice lady. It was scary at first. She called us in. Then, we sat in her office. Afterwards, she asked some questions about my legal status since I was in the US since 2004. She wanted to make sure that before she makes her decision that I was in status during the duration of my stay here. So I gave previous approval from USCIS. Then, she asked question like my address, date of birth, how many children. She inquire on why it took us so long to apply for AOS. Then, she realized that my husband was just naturalized last February. She told my husband that she knows that she did not naturalized him since his naturalization was recent. Afterwards, she gave me a letter stating that "your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further information or documents from you. Shoud further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail. We may also schedule for another interview; you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete."

Afterward, my husband and I went home. In 1 hour, I received a text and an email from USCIS.

[*]Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production

[*]On April 25, 2013, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

[*]This step applies to applications that result in an applicant receiving a card (such as a "green card") or other document (such as a naturalization certificate, employment authorization document, travel document, or advance parole). Applications will be in this step from the time the order to produce the card/document is given until the card/document is produced and mailed to the applicant. You can expect to receive your card/document within 30 days of the approval of your application.

I am so excited. I did not receive my EAD card but this is so much better.

Woah so I guess the interviewers were all out of questions and I hope the same is for me

Any other people have interview experiences to share. I'll post mine up in a week or so.

Since March 1st??? I don't see your timeline. Did you get your EAD? When did you file? NOA? Biometrics? I am in NY but no update on EAD or Interview date. Check timeline. If I were you then I would definitely call them!

Approximate Time Line:

2/4 Mailed 485/765/131

2/19 The original 485 filed as employment AOS was transferred to local USCIS office

3/1 Figure Print Done, 485 shows testing and interviewing

4/10 EAD/AP approved

4/18 Received EAD/AP

If I call, would they give me the same canned message, asking me to wait another 30 days?

It's funny you call it "canned message"... you are absolutely right! Talking to them is like talking to a text-to-speech software They just read exact message you see on uscis site like a robot. But calling them won't hurt. You never know, someone might go the extra mile to help your case

Just wanted to guys let you know that I was about to schedule an infopass appointment since they canceled my interview on April 19th and got the official letter on April 23rd. I got the following message on the website:

"At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later."

I am seriously wondering what is going on with the local office. I am praying every day to get finally my rescheduled interview date. I think it is so not fair to play with people's emotions and people's life like this. I am about to cry every time I think about May 6th when I was originally scheduled only 9 days away:(

I got this letter today from the NVC, anyone knows something?

The letter says "because of a recent change in your visa classification or a change in the dates used to begin the visa application process, visa numbers are not presently available for your visa category." I have my interview next week.

Thanks!!

Don't worry Baba. I am sure you will get your appointment. Contact your lawyer for instruction. Lawyer should have detailed info. about it. Besides, you have your EAD and so your case will remain as current until it is resolved via interview. They can't escape it!!! NO need to worry at all

Omg!!! I can't believe not too good things are happening to you as well. Well at least they didn't cancel your interview so you can figure it out what's going on next week. They might just sent you a wrong letter or something. If I were you and if you have one contact with your lawyer. I don't know why are they doing this????!!!! Ugh!!!! Well I hope it turns out well for you. Let us know!

Yea you are right at least I have my EAD... Which makes me feel a little better. But I just wanted to be done and finally tell my parents and my family that I can go home and see them after 3 years of not being able to visit:( my husband and I are already have our tickets for August and I am scared they will push things around and it won't happen:( so that's all but yea I should not be crying here so much cause some ppl's situation is worse than mine. The patience is something that is hard when you are so close to be done with it and then boom they slap you.

I do feel bad for your situation which leaves you worrying but if it is any consolation think about millons of people in this country who are left with no option to even get legalized. I personally know a lot of people who has no option at all in currnet immigration law. At least us we have option...which may be a painful and lenghty because of the system's lack of transparency and fluidity. Hope the so called "reform" if it ever happens...will make things smoother in the future....I mean you can't get even a clearer answer even if you call them...they just say "in process"....hahahaha it's funny but very sad

Do not worry if the beneficiary is a US citizen, however, it is a very different story if the beneficiary is a LPR.

That is the first thing that the USCIS told me in the interview.

You meant the petitioner is a USC? Yes the petitioner is a citizen that's why I thought it was weird cause they have unlimited number of visas.
