Jeserguevara

My cousin is filing her paperwork AOS (she already have a work permit that will expire in September 2013) does or can she file form I-765 along or is not really necessary (it will be nice to just go ahead and send it because its free when you do it along with all AOS paperwork but I dont know if she should or not.

thanks.

This is for a friend who's applying for AOS she lost her I-94 but she does have the passport stamped when she entry the country. She came here with a visitor visa then marriage a US citizen now they are filing AOS but don't know what to do with the lost I-94 , what do you think she should do? Would the stamped passport will be enough?

Good luck to Jeserguevara who is having an interview tomorrow.

I know, I figured you couldn't wait to get your hands on the certificate. Naka San Antonio?

Work Permit / Card production order.

Our Interview:

The officer led us to her private office and she asked us to remain standing while she swore us in.

She asked us to sit.She asked for ID from each of us. We gave her our state id. She had a file with our application and it seemed like she was already familiar with it. She started by asking my husband these questions and she later asked me to:

1. state your full name

2. your parents first names

3. the city you were born in

4. is this the first time you have been married?

5. do you have any children?

She then asked me "is this the first time in the US for you"?

She asked for other supporting documents.......we gave her our picture album,bank account and lease.

She asked for original copy of our marriage license and my birth certificate, she verified it and returned it back to us.

She had our I-485 in front of her and took a red pen and checked off each line to confirm what we had filled out on it. She also asked us for proof when we told her we see each other every month as we dont live becos am doing my Medical clerkship in Chicago and my husband works and live in Boston MA. And we provided our itinerary and she was satisfied with it.

She asked my husband what he is doing for a living and She asked if i live alone or live with someone else.

The whole thing took about 10minutes. When she was done, She said she had everything she needed and i was surprised, because i had more proof i didnt even get to show her...... All in all everything went well!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

Congrats! I would recommend reading through the March or April threads since most of them have had their interviews already (no need to go through the all thread, read from the point where they started the interviews).

-You will receive a mail listing what you need to bring to the interview.

- Here is a sample of interviews questions

Thanks!

Ok so we finally received a SMS notice that we have our appointment for Aug, 22 2012 . What to expect? How can we prepare for the interview? Pls feel free to share your experience if anyone already had their interviews Thanks.

Ok I am getting a little worry again I know I asked this before but my bio appt. was for the 6/5 but we walk in early two week before that on the 5/24 . I have not heard anything from them and is almost a month since bio successfully completed. Do you think I should start counting the days from the originally appt. or the walk in.?

What to do? My Bio appoiment was for 6/6 but we decided to do a walking on 5/24 and I haven't seen any updates on the webpage should I call?

Or do you think is too soon? How do you know when the file was last "touch" ?

OMG!!!! I can't believe this !!!! My EAD and AP got approved today!!!!

Received the update says they ordered production of my new card!!!

So excited !!

I guess early walk-in did help speed up my case since my original bio date is tomorrow :lol:

How long did it took after bio?I am asking because my appoiment was for 6/6 but we decided to do a walk-in on 5/24( succefully) and we haven't seen any update in our status,.. Congrats hopefully status change sometime this week!

Gardena, CA successful !!

Where did she do it??

At the one in Gardena,CA ...sorry for the late reply

Quick update.. My wife decided to do a walk-in yesterday for her biometric ( successfully done) her app.was for June 6 but couldn't wait! Idk if it will help to speed up the process or not but it can't hurt! Now the real waiting game begins! Good luck everyone!!!

Click on your profile, then "Edit profile", then "Change signature". The timeline is our signature.

Thanks! and we just got out biometric app. for 6/5 so good luck on you case...

We have almost the same timeline. Can you update your signature with your timeline?

How do I do that?

Just a little update! So I filed on the 4th of may ,received the 8th, then got 3 text and email on Friday the 11th , and on the 16th got my hard copies... Now waiting on biometric! It's driving me crazy , I check the mail and the website every day ...

Did you send I-765?

Yes I did...

Hey guys! I just wanted to share my story..

We sent out package in the 4th of May and they received it on the 7th ..

I just got the text and 3 email with 3 different receipts number! ?

Why did I received 3 different receipts number ? I am Imagining that one is the the I-130 and the other one is the I-485 but what's the third one for?

Thanks everyone!

My wife and I sent our forms for AOS on 5/4/12 and today just for curiosity I decided to look at my copies again to make sure everything was ok! ( I did it before I sent them too like 100 times if not more!) but for my luck I just notice that on the application I put all the N/A instead of None ( at least on the one that need it to be NONE)

Would this create a delay? You think it might get rejected?

I even put N/A on the last part where it ask you if someone else filled out the forms other that yourself.

Hi, I think you were asked earlier by the other person why you are sending the I-130 probably cause they weren't sure as to what visa you came in cause I think if you had come in with a K-1, you won't have to file that. But back to your questions, so far so good, I personally think you are on the right track from what I have read so far. Just send it all out and start gathering together as much more evidences you can before your interview which I think is still months away.

Good luck!

Thanks.

Looks good to me. I didn't see the I-131 for advance parole, but of course that's optional. Good luck to you! And if you do file in May, come join the May Filers thread, so we can all compare our timelines.

Thanks and yeah we didn't think I-131 was necessary .

Moving to adjustment of status from work student tourist.
