Hello everyone.

I'm new here and I've been following all your timelines.

I have the exact same timeline as Sean and Kristina. But my fingerprint appointment is due on November 2 at 1 pm. I don't think I'll try an early walk in.

Nice to meet everyone. And wish you all the best luck!

Welcome and thanks for introducing yourself! Yeah...if there isn't a great need, I don't recommend trying an early walk-in. My husband wasted an hour of his life and Monday mornings are the only time we really have together throughout the week and we sacrificed it just for the sake of trying to get these biometrics done asap :(

I wrote a full detailed account of our AOS process, timeline, AP use, and interview on my blog. You can read it here.

I hear the Los Angeles one is busy all the time. It all depends on my husband. If he wants me to go try then we will go otherwise I don't want to really rush it. That they will be meant to be! So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes well

I wonder what I missed in my application. I even sent the info of my co sponsor too. Maybe they want more info from her.

I sent marriage certificate. Birth certificates from me my husband and daughter. All taxes. Letters from jobs and check stubs. I don't know what else can they want ??

I'm just waiting for the hard copy in the mail to see what they want. Hopefully it's here by Friday the latest!!!

Good luck to the ones who are getting ready for interviews!

It could something as a simple as having forgotten to check yes or no on a specific question or not signing somewhere! I hope it's an easy fix! Good luck to you.
