"Biometrics Review Complete"? 
I haven't heard of that yet! Is that on the AOS application or on EAD/AP?
When does that show up?
Mine says Biometrics Fee Received since December. Is that supposed to show after that?

Confused!

Mine changed about 2 weeks after bio for AOS and about week for ead (ead was rejected Thats why)

We still have the dreaded technical error on USCIS (3 weeks now), shows a date of case updated but a blank update for I-485.  Talking to Tier 2 didn't do any good they just told us to wait a year and couldn't tell us what the update was.  

Dam that sucks I'm goin on 2 weeks with error when I called they told me they are requesting for an interview. I called today but tier 2 officer line was closed so I will be calling Monday to see what they tell me. Will you be calling back hopefully you call back and get a more helpful Officer.

Hi all - haven't posted too much here, but was so excited yesterday to get an email that our interview is being scheduled!! We're hoping to get the date in the mail in the next few days. Our priority date was January 26, so definitely a lot quicker than expected! We received a RFIE for the I-864 on February 22 and our response was received March 6. We will be interviewing at the Philadelphia office.

 

The timing works well because my husband's H-1B expires at the end of August, so hopefully we will not even need to worry about the EAD if we get approved at the interview

 

Best of luck to everyone!

Omg, somebody from Philly office got interview scheduled?! Can't believe in it. 

Our submitted date is February 6th and bio taken on March 6th. No notification yet ((( Getting crazy already sitting at home doing nothing  

 

Good luck, guys. 

Please write back how was your interview, what questions they will ask, etc. 

 

Thanks!

Hello Kateryna, 

 

We also got word last week that our interview is scheduled at the Philadelphia office May 16. We filed in Mid January. We have similar timelines. 

 

Good Luck to you and all.

Hey y'all,

 

Interview for May 10!!! Happened WAY quicker than I thought it would. However, our co-sponsonr said she withdrew (I don't know if she actually did?) so I'm not sure what's gonna happen

Heeeeey! Good to see you again!

How's life, besides waiting?

I wish you a lot of patience and a little luck!
I filed in December and still got nothing!

It’s our interview in 9 days! I can’t believe how fast the last month has gone since I received the interview date. I’m pretty sure we have all of our ducks lined up but I’m nervous I’ve forgotten something really important, and after reading some reviews of the Chicago office I’m nervous about the officer being mean or rude. I don’t do confrontation very well! I’m also still quite nervous about the fact that my online status still shows employment based interview, when in fact we are K1.

On the application for a SSN it has options for which i will need to choose one box. Citizenship:  Legal alien Allowed to work OR Legal alien Not Allowed to work. Any help thanks

I chose legal alien allowed to work and i got it after 2wks.. it will state  that you need to present  your immigration status  with it before you can work tho.

I will have my interview early May, and my online status also shows interview based on employment while I’m adjusting from F1. I don’t think it’s an issue.

Question for those who had or are preparing for Interview. So, my case status say that my case is ready to be scheduled an Interview, but I am already thinking about the documents to bring for an Interview to prove Bona fide marriage and I kind of made a little list. Our situation looks like that: after we got married we moved with my husband’s mother in GA, as my husband is working only may-september in Maine for about 20 years, we are moving there again in one month, but we didnt change the address yet, as there is still couple weeks left. In his contract it state that his employer is providing the accomodation and food and all the utilities, so we do not have any lease or bills on our name really. So the documents I am trying to get are:

- letter from my mother in law stating that we were living with her and sharing the bills with her since October to may.

-my husband’s contract stating all his work conditions and confirming our accomodation there with the letter of employment made by his employer explaining that we will were living there before together and we will be living there this year

-phone plan made together and phone bills on both our names

-husband’s 2017 tax Return filed as married 

-co-sponsor’s 2017 tax Return 

-boarding passes and bus tickets from our together’s trips from last couple months 

-screenshots from our Amazon and etsy accounts showing both our debit/credit card informations and showing wedding shopping we made from those accounts, or orders made from my account but shipped to his name and adress where we both lived 

-envelopes from letters we received together on his mom’s adress confirming that we lived there (more and less official)

-couple of wedding cards we received

-our guest book with polaroid pictures and wishes made by guests at the wedding

-couple of pictures made together during 6 years together

Hi friends! I know it's the weekend but we received an update yesterday! Unfortunately, it's an odd update. It says we cancelled your interview, but I haven't received anything since my RFE back in March. Has anyone gotten anything similar and hasn't rescheduled their interview?

Those documents seem good!

You could also provide joint bank accounts, health and auto insurance under your names (if you have them). I think those are the things I added on top of the ones you mentioned above.
