Are you talking about the update they sent in August to everyone wthat there was an update in March? Or did you get this in March itself?

I think just about everyone received this update about a retroactive update. It does not seem to mean anything. (sorry for any tpos, my cat decided to sit in front of my screen and does not want to budtge)

What update did they send out in August? I did not get any? My online tracker through USCIS was updated in March saying that my case is ready to schedule for interview, but nothing happened since.

I haven't received anything outside of me doing my finger prints Somewhere in December...

 

Been since then transfered to a Local office and stuck waiting. Did get the extension letter. Super weird. I live in Southwest Florida.

We never received anything in August either. Since March 15, his case has been ready to schedule the interview. Philadelphia is looking at a wait time of 12-33 months. We have a long road ahead of us still.

GC Interview - question

 

Two days ago I received notification that my interview was scheduled. I was quite surprised how quick they did it given that just 1,5 months ago I received EAD+AP card.

I was going to renew my passport before Christmas, since we are flying to visit my family back to my home country (passport expires in April 2019). 

 

QUESTION:  Can I bring the copy of my passport for the interview?  I know it sounds silly but I thought I will ask you...

Nevermind, I just realized I will keep my old passport until I get a new one.

Hello, just a quick update.

I got my interview on Monday, September 24th and received my GC by mail on the 28th so it was pretty fast. Interview went well, at the beginning she thought i had a lawyer or translator with me because the interview letter was In care of "name of my dad", she didn't understand either why they wrote In care of, but it was fine. At the beginning she was a bit cold, but after 10 min the atmosphere was much better. She asked for recent pictures of us but we didn't have any  (we both hate pictures and our phones are mostly pictures of our cat...) except from our marriage but it wasn't a problem, I had bank accounts on both our names, plane tickets for the two of us to visit my family next December and health insurance on both our names She asked the questions like "Do you intend to commit a crime, polygamy" etc. and between those questions she would ask me over and over my husband's full name , date of birth and where he was born. She asked him what are my parents name and to me what are his parents name. She also asked us how we met and that's all. I brought a new affidavit of support because my husband had a raise but she said she didn't need it because his previous financial situation was already good. The only papers she took were the pictures from our wedding, the copy of bank accounts, etc. with both our names on it and that's all. She asked if I had any questions, I only asked when we would know the answer. She told me I should be approved but she still needed the original of my K1 file (she only had the copy in her file) and it could take up to 30 days. But the next day when I checked on the internet it said my case was approved (on the 24th, so same day as the interview). 2 days later it said my card was mailed and it was in my mailbox on Friday!

Any Houston filers?

[Mr_Bridge 20]

Yay. We have our interview of Oct 25!

 

However here is our situation:

 

We opted NOT to fill out I-693 until we were scheduled. 

The problem that I am now facing is that my wife misplaced all her immunizations, so we have NO records of anything. 

We will be visiting an approved USCIS Dr. for the examination. 

Has anyone gone through this process of the medical examination without any records that can share their experience?

Will my wife have to do the whole list of immunizations?

What if we dont get everything done prior to the interview date?

 

Thank you in advance for any input.

Hi all. Do you guys know if USCIS will mail back pictures after approval and green card? 

 I got approved and received green card already. I have one more mail coming from the and was wondering what’s in there. Thanks

[Empr1 1]

I think you should be fine. There are list of shots that the doctor gives. 

Tell him it's urgent or find a clinic which has earliest date, generally they give within a week if you expedite may be even less.

 

You need to have this document at time of interview as they might give you a rfe and based on other timelines..it takes about 2-3 months to clear the of i693.

Would surprise me a lot if they decided to mail back your pictures. Did you send them something else that was unique? (cf only birth certificate, ...?)

Maybe it is just a notification that it is ready to be processed (cf I received my actual AP before I received the notification)

 

Curious to hear what it actually contained!
