Hi all,

I gained my permanent resident status in Aug 2011 and the first thing I did was enlist in the Military and I get shipped out in April 2012 to start my Army career.

My recruiter informed me that I will gain my citizenship by the end of my first year at the same time ill be due to file ROC on my 2 year GC.

They already made me fill out all my N400 and M426 and they said they will file it once I am eligible.

My question is that should I file for ROC in april 2013 or wait for my N400 to be approved?

I received my GC in Aug 2011 and I am a US ARMY soldier. I want to bring my father and my sister to the USA and dont know what way to take to go about it. I work for the federeal government and I am due for my citizenship in Sept of 2012 because of my military contract. I wanted to know if there is a possible way to get them here sooner. My dad is 58 and my sister is 18.

Any inputs will be valuable.

Well don't worry about the interview it should not be that hard for you if everything that you wrote on the forms is true. The age is never an issue because that's not an issuein their law book but they definitely suspected some in your docs. Any misdemeanor on your or your husbands record could have caused it. Me and my wife are 20 years apart in age difference and there was no issue with them because all our docs matched. I was asked questions that I never thought off but if you guys are really married then it should'nt be an issue.

Good luck! Be confident!

My question was is it mandatory to take her to the interview?

Sounds to me like the child doesn't like your friend... not a good thing.

The only thing is she doesn't call him dad! And neither does friends wants to force her.

So that was my only concern.

Thanks everyone!

My buddy's wife is a US Citizen and has a daughter from her ex husband. She is going to file AOS for my friend. Will the kid also be involved during the whole process? The only concern is the interview, will the daughter also have to go along and talk?

But the kid is too young. How will her saying anything would be of any relevance. ? But the only reason they dont want her to go is that she is too young.

I have a quick question. My buddy married his girlfriend who has a 6 year old kid. Will the kid be required to go to the interview when they are called?

GC in hand! 09/02

Hi, can you share about your interview experience? For example, what is the procedure, what they will ask and are the official friendly? I'm going to interview new week at Sacramento office.

Well my interview was scheduled @ 10:15 and we reached at 10 and waited outside the building for my attorney. Well he came in on time and we went upstairs on the 2nd floor. And my attorney checked us in. In a couple minutes my name was called and I was greeted by a very nice IO and she showed us the way to her office. My attorney was astonished and asked her that she usually doesnt do the initial green card interviews to which she replied that she found my case very interesting so she wanted to conduct the interview and said she did her homework pretty well.

She started off by asking us to take the oath and then the first question she asked me was does your wife have you on her medical insurance and I said yes and she asked for a proof. And then she asked when and on what basis did I come to the states and some interogating questions because she learned through my file that I was a pilot so she had too many questions on why and how and where did I train and did I graduate the flight school. Then she flipped through the file and asked us where did we meet and all the standard questions and every answer that we gave made me gain confidence. She asked on who stay with us in our house, how many rooms are there? Where do I sleep when I work odd hours. And she asked what my future plans in the states. And she asked about what does my family do back in home. Asked about what kind of planes have I flown and some more questions about Aviation as she said that she loved Pilots when she was young.

Well then she asked me to give her all the documents that we had'nt submitted with our application. So I submitted the new bank accounts that we opened, loan accounts, medical insurance, investment accounts and my latest paystubs. Then she asked me for my I-20 on which I entered the USA the second time I came back.

She asked me why did I wanted to be a Pilot and I told her that I wanted to join the US AIRFORCE and would love to fight for the USA. She asked me if I had any emails or confirmation from the USAF on behalf of my application and I told her that I dont have it with me so she was like you need to send that accross to me ASAP and then she said ask your attorney to fax it to her personal line. And she said thank you for coming in and we should expect to hear from her in 3 weeks. In all it took about 45 mins in all.

She asked us to wait in the waiting and said she wanted to talk to my attorney. After a couple of mins my attorney walks out and tells me to email him the copy of emails from the USAF. And rest all looks good. So I sat in my car and emailed him the copy. After an hour my attorney faxed a copy of the email to the IO and me. And in about 10 mins from the time I received the fax I get a text that my case status had been updated. As soon as i checked online it said "On August 25, 2011, we ordered production of your new card."

I was so happy, hugged my wife and this was it. It was a very pleasant experience being there but surely I never wanna go back there again, So Im done with the USCIS till 2013 or maybe forever.

God is great!

Love n Light

Approved!

I'm going to write a full review in a while! But it was an amazing.

Had my interview today at Sacramento local office and I was not approved at the spot. But later on once I submitted the emails that she requested. I got an email and text after 10 mins when my lawyer faxed the required docs that I was approved.

I'm greened. Took exactly 3 months from the date of application and I was approved.

Hi gap1,

I entered the US back in 2007 as a student training to become a Commercial Pilot and then is where I met this instructor of mine who is today my lawffully wedded wife. So I am adjusting from M1 to LPR so I never got a SSN because I was never a full time student.

So thats the only reason.
