August 2014 AOS filers

[LAstategal 18]

Hey guys, just got back into town, the interview went well will post my review after this.

Interview was scheduled for 8:30, we arrived at 7:50, went through security and showed the gaurd our interview notice. He instructed us on where to place it. We got called in at 8:40ish and we got in the elevator to leave at 8:58. Hubs was concerned cause some people that came in later than we did had gone in to interview. Our IO called us and walked us in, told us to remain standing while we took the oath.

Next she asked to see ID,then we went over the I-485, my name, address, phone number, yes and no questions. She did the same thing with the I-130. After verifying the information in the forms, she asked if we had a lease, we provided a notarized copy, she asked if we had a copy for our records,we said no, and she said she would make a copy, I thought that was nice, cause I hear some IOs, have you go out of the building to make copies. She asked if we had more recent bills, I provided and told her that I also have our wedding album, she flipped through and I commented. I also gave her our bank and credit card statements, she didnt want them cause we had submitted previous copies, she took them though.

Then she asked about our relationship, where did we meet, when, how, how long did we date, where did we go to, when we got engaged, when and where we were married. When did my husband move in, when did we move to our current house and if we've always lived together since we were married.

We answered her questions accordingly and at the end she said it all looked good, and we should get the GC in 1 to 2 weeks, she also said the I-130 approval notice might come before or after the GC. She explained that the GC would invalidate the EAD, so to cut that in half when I get the GC. She also said to update my employer, I asked if I had to always carry it with me and she said to make a copy, and to try to always carry it, but that most people don't. At this point she started to walk us out and I asked if we would get the Conditional GC and she said yes, and said to send a lot of information, so we dont have to interview again. She also said that they usually mail a reminder 6 months before your conditional GC expiration date.

That's all folks, just waiting on the website updates.

She did npt take my I-94, or my H1B I-94.

Wow! Congratz! :-) we have the same timeline but in my case we only applied for i-485. I am so frustrating coz I can't even see the status of my case online since the day they changed the look on their website. I am hoping that I will hear from them soon. :-) Congratulations again. :-) :-) :-)

YAY! Congrats! that didn't seem too painful.

EAD is finally in hand! Johan went to the post office early this morning to pick it up (we'd requested our mail be held yesterday, and since we live in a relatively small town, it was doable), then headed off to work to fill out his W4 form and other documents. I'm so happy for him! And relieved for our family. He was getting worried!!! One thing to note: I know that pretty much everyone says to WAIT to work until you have that card in hand, but his valid date is the day they approved it. So there's that, for what it's worth.

[G&O7 9]

Quick Quesiton.....did most people receive their interview letter in the same letter as the EAD card? ....I ask because we didn't......just trying to see what the process for the GC has been post EAD...

I asked Johan this question just this morning. There was nothing in the envelop apart from the card and a paper stating to keep the paper for renewal.
