Hey Dave!!

Thanks a lot! that is exactly that root of my confusion ..the word "anniversary" that it has nothing to do with wedding anniversary

I feel much better now

Thanks!

Hey Harpa Timsah thanks a lot for your quick answer.It was very straightforward and helpful

Are you from Israel? I went to Israel for a month and It was great! beautiful country

Hello everyone,

hope everybody is doing well..I am a little confused about when I should submit the i-751.According to USCIS I should submit it within 90 days before the green card expires.so my question: should I submit the i-751 form 3 months before the green card expires or even earlier than that (for example: a week after second anniversary)?

If anybody went through this and can give an guide would be great

thanks a lot

I think you will be fine...take your very organized file and all your pictures from before and after the wedding,your statements from your joint bank account and a lease contract if you have one.

good luck

lilly is right

As long as You can prove bona fide marriage you are going to be fine

bring a very organized file with you tough

good luck!!!!!!!!!!

is it possible you can travel to Boston? There are more doctors around here.. I did my medical in Malden MA

good luck

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

thanks for sharing your experience with VJ

I adjusted through B2 tough and like you said:"if you're truly in love and married, you came here with good intentions and not intentions to marry... You should be fine"

wait a little bit more, my notification took 26 days since the day I sent my AOS file

Good Luck

For my experience, I can say you have proof of bona fide marriage (I had the same documnents you have and I got approved).don't forget your weddings pictures,trips pictures and pictures with family

good luck!!!

it is not complicated: go to your biometrics appointment.

for my experience, my aos went fast too (4 months) and mostly because I went on time to the biometrics and interview.

I would recommend you avoid re-schedule and go for the biometrics appointment.Re-schedule your plans as your status is more important than a concert.. also because sometimes it can take months to get another appointment letter and because sometimes they don't re-schedule it properly and instead say you missed it and your AOS is denied.

good luck

it is not complicated: go to your biometrics appointment.

for my experience I read some people do walk-in and the EAD takes weeks to arrive,in my case the EAD arrived after 8 days,my aos went fast too (4 months) and mostly because I went on time to the biometrics and interview.

I would recommend you avoid re-schedule and go for the biometrics appointment

good luck

It depends... in my case my EAD arrived after 8 days since the biometrics appointment

good luck

Congrats!!! and celebrate

tax returns,transcripts and w2 from the last 3 years would be even better so that, you won't get a RFE about that matter.

good luck

I did not send any pictures..when you are going to read the instructions to fill every form,some forms need passport size pictures ..those are the only kind of pictures I sent.

My pictures from the wedding,before the wedding,trips,with family and so forth, I showed them in the interview.

Basically I sent documents (forms and copies of every document they asked for).

you need:

I-485

I-130

I-864 ( two: sponsor and joint sponsor)

G-325a (two:one from you and one from your spouse)

I-765

G-1145

all these forms and the instructions to fill them out are in the USCIS web site.

Good luck

so far this was my timeline:

03-03-2011: AOS file sent

03-05-2011:AOS file arrived to Chicago Lockbox

03-23-2011:E-mail response from USCIS

03-26-2011:Checks cashed

03-28-2011:NOA1 received

04-02-2011:Biometrics letter received

04-26-2011:Biometrics done

05-04-2011:EAD arrived

06-16-2011:interview

06-20-2011:welcome letter received

06-24-2011:Green Card arrived!!!

As you can see AOS from B2can be pretty straightforward make sure send a very organized file so that,you won't get any RFE.

GOOD LUCK

only answer what the officer ask don't add more details to your answer unless he/she asks.talk to your wife about what you guys going to answer and make sure it match because there is a possibility that you going to have interview separately.

good luck

Once you get the EAD,you can go to the social security office with you EAD,marriage certificate and passport to apply for a SSN

good luck

1) Nop,you won't have problems (I adjusted from B2 too)because you never planned to immigrate with your non-immigrant visa.

2)once, you send your AOS file and USCIS received it ..you are in new temporary legal period to stay in the country until the approved your case.if your are saying your wife is your sponsor then, your cousin is the only joint sponsor.

3)wait until you get your interview and show them all what you have. remember send your file with every form they asking and supportive documents like birth certificates,marriage certificate,taxes,passports,(only copies).Pictures from the wedding,bill,cell phone bill,lease contract can be shown in the interview.

for my experience,AOS is not a painful process like other people think and the final interview is fine as long as you can show proof of bona fide marriage.

GOOD LUCK

It took me 26 days to get my NOA1 and an e-mail confirmation from USCIS

good luck

Joint account statements and lease contract are very important in my case the IO kept those documents with her.the interview process is not painful at all,as long as you have an organized file and of course,proof of bona fide marriage.

good luck

the amount of pictures is up to you but you definitively consider the next topics in order to choose your best pictures to show the IO:

pictures of you and your husband before your wedding

pictures from your wedding

pictures from trips you did with your husband

pictures with families and friends

good luck

Hello,

I can tell for my experience: my husband and I had interviews separately(it did not take longer than 10 minutes each), only two questions: how did we meet? and how did we keep the long distance relationship? the IO was very professional,she looked all our pictures and she kept our joint account statements and lease contract.Right after she finished the interview she kept my EAD and I-94 and told me she was going to approved my application for AOS .the interview process is not painful at all,as long as you have an organized file and of course,proof of bona fide marriage.

good luck!!!

in your interview,the immigration officer will take your EAD because you won't need it anymore since you will have the green card

good luck!!
