Hi all, I just found this thread. Good to see a few here that I know.

 

I did send back the RFE and since Oct 18th they seem to be reviewing the case. I'm guessing it takes 4 weeks to decide after getting the RFE. This RFE was the original birth certificate, which we just sent 2nd original already.

 

Any idea how long I should wait other than to see what next week update?

I read her someone going Through the same thing and they called
USCIS say me and they were told that there were no red flags but they weren’t given the timeline of when they would know anything else

Don't hold your breath waiting but stay on it. If your status doesn't change in 60 days from the last update, you can call USCIS to place an inquiry. I got a BC RFE back in June and didn't get Case is Ready until 69 days later, and that included calling on the 60th day.

 

Btw you don't have to send an original unless specified.

It did say send an original.

 

I sent the RFE back on Oct 16 in mail and they got it on the 17th.
So... around December 16, 2019?

That's interesting. They rarely ask for originals.

 

As long as 60 days elapse from the last update. Any earlier they might not do anything since you're still within RFE processing time though you're welcome to try.

Our status still shows as "Interview was scheduled" but today we received in the mail our approval NOA for permanent residence.  I was sweating bullets since we never saw anything updated on USCIS. 

 

So, I suppose this means I'll see you all in a year and a half when we start going through the slow as heck ROC process 😐

I should mentioned my RFE was sent back to an office in MO/NBC... I think.

Our status changed last night to the USPS tracking information for my wife's green card.  Should be receiving on Friday.  I guess we missed the phase of "Green Card in production"

Green card now in hand See y'all in a year and 9 months when we get to complain and fuss about the slow RoC process

Hello everyone! Just wanted to give a quick review of my AOS interview today (K1) at Nashville, TN office:

Timeline:
AOS Filed - Aug 09th, 2019
NOA Hard Copy - Aug 16th, 2019
Biometrics twice (Finger prints failed) - Sep-Oct, 2019
Interview "ready to be scheduled" - Oct 18th, 2019
Interview Date Scheduled - Dec 10th, 2019
EAD/AP combo card received - Dec 10th, 2019

The process went by very swift for us. Got into the building at our designated time and showed the 2 security guards our ID's and appointment letter. Then had to put all folders, coats, watches, keys, belts and shoes into the tray to be scanned (we didn't bring our purses or phones in). Walked through the metal detector and was told to report to window 1. Walked up to the lady and handed her our ID's and appointment letter again. She looked through everything and gave us a number. We waited for about 5-10 mins and heard a faint call of our number (so keep your ears open!). Was met by a gentleman officer, who greeted us and had us follow him into a separate office/room. Was told to stand to take the oath and proceeded to sit together (husband and I were not separated). Officer was friendly and nonchalant at the same time (we didn't feel too stressed). The beneficiary (me) had to take a picture with his little webcam on the desk scan fingerprints of both my index fingers. Then he went through the first few pages of my I-145 form and asked to see the following documents:
- My passport
- Husband's ID (drivers license)
- My birth certificate (original)
- My husband's birth certificate (original)
- Marriage certificate (original)

After marking down that each one was legitimate on my I-145, he proceeded to ask me from the form:
- My full name now
- Name prior to marriage
- Date of birth
- My husband's full name
- Date of birth
- My current address

Next, he asked me if I wanted to submit anything that would go towards his consideration (I asked him to clarify and he said "things that had a co-relationship"). I handed him copy's and original statements from our bank, credit cards, health insurance, 401k retirement, letters of recommendation, marriage photo album, wedding invitation, drivers license + my state ID (to show same address). He then read through all the mandatory pages (about committing crime etc) within the form and after each one had me answer. All of them were "No" and each time I answered he'd put a check mark next to each one. Then he asked me to sign the last page to confirm all we went through.

Then, he began to ask me to tell him "all about us", "how we met" etc. He specifically asked me (the beneficiary) to be the core speaker (and told my husband he could chime in if needed). I went right from the beginning, explained that we met through a game - all the way up to our visits (showing him pictures, chat logs etc.) - right through to our wedding day, honeymoon and current living status/life. He was quite pleasant and laughed with us a bit which was nice. After that, he asked if we had any questions (we asked about an address change), and he escorted us out of the room and back towards the security guards. The entire thing lasted about 30 mins.

It made us feel good that he commented on how legitimate our relationship felt to him and commented on us checking our status online, whether we would be approved or not (he said if there were any other docs he would need after the interview, he would issue an RFE). If not, the green card should just "surprise" us in the mail - his words lol

All in all, it was such a quick process! I prepared 3 folders THICC with documents, copies, evidence etc. But he didn't look at anything but the above. Very friendly experience and we hope to hear some good news soon (apart from the combo work permit/AP card I received when I got back home!). 

Hope this helps!
