Would they need the AOS applicant be with their US Citizen spouse during the biometrics appointment? My husband won't be able to come with me because of job orientation, so we'll ask my father-in-law to accompany me instead.

Nope, it can be just you. Just make sure you bring your Passport AND Marraige License with. If you have a State Issued ID / Driver's License bring it with you too (if available). Just for good measure. smile.png

In the interview, however, the US Citizen spouse should be present. I think. (Anybody please correct me if I'm wrong. biggrin.png)

Thanks! I'll be with my MIL. It's a 30-minute drive to Kansas City and I can't drive lol. I don't have any other ID so I would just have to bring my passport, unless the SSN card counts.

They'd need identification, so Passport should be best and must be your main document. It's actually in the biometrics letter. The passport is in your maiden name though, right? If you applied for AOS under your married name, you'd need to have your marraige certificate with you to prove legal name change. The SSN doesn't have your photo though, and I asked the lady assisting me with my biometrics (because there was a blank on the screen she was working on that said SSN and it wasn't filled up), she said she doesn't need my SSN.

Got it! Thanks! I have the passport, and marriage certificate, together with the biometrics appointment letter ready in my folder .

Kumi and Drake my hubby had his biometrics at the USCIS in KC on Tuesday (10/29). It was easy we were in/out in 15 minutes. Sounds like you have everything you need.

Thanks! I'll let you guys know what happens tomorrow. :)

It's probably a glitch. If not, then congrats! Haha. The biometrics appointment is important. You should call USCIS though just to check.

I'm actually changing addresses soon too. So this is good info to know. Thanks for posting!

LOL. Based on people's timelines. It's about a month after the biometrics date.

Hi! And welcome to the group! Sorry, I didn't do a walk in on mine (plus I'm from ND. LOL). I hope somebody here can answer your inquiry. :)

Welcome to the group! Hope so too!-crosses fingers for you- smile.png

Thanks Mrs.Presson! :)

Did my biometrics this week on Wednesday (29th), took barely 10 mins. Nobody else was there. And today got a notice that an RFE letter was sent out. We expected that though.

Yay for getting the biometrics done and quickly :)

Can I ask why you expected the RFE?

Glad to see so many people getting through biometrics so easily! Sounds like a piece of cake! good.gif
