Been awhile since I've checked in here.

Congrats misa on your EAD! :) I've been following your timeline hoping you would get it soon...I guess being in Richmond I feel 'bonded' to you as a fellow Virginian :D

Thanks J&K! Sure is a bit different here than in Toronto. :) Damn it's freaking hot here too. :P Glad you have your GC in hand! Good luck on job hunting. :)

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

On July 6, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

After nearly a month of ulcer-inducing stress regarding background checks, whether or not I could take my vacation in August and visit my new in-laws, we got the e-mail, smack dab in the middle of the biggest convention that my job covers.

Suddenly, the work week's intense load doesn't feel so bad.

Good luck to everyone awaiting interviews; hopefully you won't get snagged in background checks the way we did!

:lol: I am way to confused Burke. I was looking to see how your interview went and then noticed your timeline hadn't changed and I was like, hey what gives Burke? Where is your interview info?? then I realized it's not the 10th yet when I saw your recent post!! :blush: Good luck. :thumbs:

I haven't seen anyone really post much on their interview experience. Has it been so simple there is nothing to say? :P Or too tortuous to recall?? :blink:

Well done to everybody who has got their EAD and AOS sorted, must be a huge weight lifted :dance:

Still don't understand why I haven't had my EAD approved as loads of people with later NOA dates have had theirs. Starting to think whether I should schedule an infopass appointment now!

Hi Kimm,

You need to be check out the K-3 spouse's forum. This is the forum for those who have already gone through that process and are now in the U.S. and currently filing for Adjustment of Status to permanent resident.

Good luck with your journey. :thumbs:

I called USCIS today & the guy told me that technically we are outside the processing times becuase we are on day 82...he said anything after 75 days can be looked into(which is news to me). Anyway, my hubby wasn't with me when I called so he told me to call back & they can look into it for me.

I made an infopass appt for 4/19(which will be day 91). I figure if we don't get the approval by then....they will have to give him the interum EAD.

maybe that is what you should do

Outside of the grief involved with our pending background check, our interview went very well. I was nervous as hell, but for the most part, our questioning was largely what you'd expect from reading about this sort of thing:

  • What's your name
  • What's your address
  • What's your phone number
  • When/how did you meet
  • When did you get married
  • How many times did your spouse visit you in the US before the wedding
  • Have you met your in-laws abroad
  • What do you (USC) do for a living

Odds are, if you've got enough photos, you'll answer a lot of questions as you explain the context of your pictures.

I would suggest bringing as much bona fide evidence as possible, even if you don't bring as much stuff as we did. We delved into overkill; a voided check from our joint bank account, a copy of a utility bill, photocopies of our wedding album, as well as digital prints chronicling everything from the night we met at a press event to after the wedding; we wrote dates and locations on the back to the best of our abilities. You can get digital 4X6 prints for 19 cents a piece from Walgreen's; we uploaded 45 digital pics, got them printed, then took our 25 faves and brought them to the interview for the officer's file.

You may not need this level of detail at all; it's just my #######-retentiveness shining through, and our official really appreciated the extra effort.

I'd tell you not to be nervous, because there's really nothing to be nervous about, but it's human nature and, IMO, pretty inevitable. Seriously, though, it'll be fine.

Thanks Irish,

If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Thanks everybody for your support!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting more and more nervous.....I selected around 30 photos, and then I am taking with me letters that we received from his mother and stepfather at our names. I am bringing too three notarized letters (his mom, sister and one friend). Hopefully it will be enough....It is a weird sensation to have to show that your relationship is real....I mean...we've been together for four years, but I don't know how you explain that!!! I hope that tomorrow I don't forget his birthday...(I have a problem with birthday dates....I don't remember any of them....). I am looking now in my closet, to see what can I wear....not too casual...not to dressy... I talk too much!!! :blush: I will let you know tomorrow the result of the interview and the questions that they asked to us!!!
