No,we haven't heard anything at all. With everyone else getting approved on the spot, it's really worrying me...like to the degree of feeling nauseous, headaches. Our lives rest in their hands based on a 30 minute interview where we could show NO interaction towards one another. He feels bad that his integrity is in question. My husband is a God fearing, Christian man. He has never been in trouble a day in his life. His heart is pure and true and it breaks my heart to see him feeling the way he is because he knows it's HIM they question. If they just had a chance to KNOW the Gesi that me and my loved ones know and interact with, they would have NO questions about him at all.

I just pray we get some good news soon. I really do not know how much longer I can pretend to be strong for him.

Keep strong.. I understand it must be difficult, but it will all work out in the end. You two love one another and that is all that matters in the end... I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

I think it also depends on the local office.. how busy they are, etc.. Mine is in Sacramento, CA and I got my biometrics done 15 days ago and I havent gotten anything yet..

You have the same office as us. It took about two weeks to get our interview notice after our biometric date. We have our interview next Monday. Here's hoping you get yours soon!!

Just got msg , GC got approved

Thanks to you all guys for your support and wish you have your gc soon.

Congrats..

Does anyone know if you have to go to the Social Security office that services your zip code or can you use any office? We have 2 relatively close by, one closer than the other but the closer one isn't the one listed as the one that services our zip code. Also, the one that services our area is so close to DC and super busy. The closer one is in a rural area and I am sure less busy! I guess I could call tomorrow.....

I recently went to SS to update my name. Here in CA they made me go to MY local office (not so local) as I live closer to another. May be different in your state but CA is ridiculous.. I would check!!

Just got our message that EAD was in production.

I'm wondering why I'm not getting my interview notice!

I'm in Los Angeles! Could that be the reason?

Its been two weeks since my biometrics and no update.

It took approx 2 weeks for us to get interview notice. However your local office really plays a lot into time frames as well. Also, noting that a lot of the August filers are getting EAD/AP already and we still have not received a peep regarding ours.. It is hard to wait, trust me I know..

now, if you see that line 29:

ASG (should have been the first but no interview yet) then Kim&gesi: oct 26, s....

--> august filers spreadsheet

correction:

Kim&gesi: oct 16,

Thank you that helps.. Haha. I really appreciate all you have done to put this together..

So, who is first in line for interviews? Maybe I cannot read the spreadsheet right, but it appears interview dates are not there. Just want to know who to watch for.. . Ours is coming up in two weeks.. Yikes

thanks Deblogs =)

okay mymarriagejourney, that's good to know. my interview was at 11:30am

Congrats.. Ours is in two weeks. Can't wait!!

Hi all,

Just wanted to note that I (non-citizen) completed my biometrics today at the Jamaica center in Queens, NY. It was an extremely straightforward experience (I was accompanied by M) and everyone was very polite. We were all done in perhaps 15 minutes.

Sooooo...

...what happens now? And in what kind of time-frame? Anyone?

I believe it all depends in your local office. We received our interview email 12 days after biometrics. Still no update on EAD. Our interview was scheduled 32 days after email. So it really can vary..

Thanks! I agree. I am just gonna stick to our Aug AOS thread. I read questions from other's occasionally but do not offer any help because of the forums gods seem to think no one is better educated than them. I might not know all of the answers when it comes to immigration but I have class, and tact. No education can teach you that!

I think many times folks on here can be a but abrupt. I abandon the site for awhile but came back with a thicker skin. Sometimes I think it is how it is read as well, I responded to a scared girl about AOS and how it's done and it appeared one individual was attacking her saying AOS was illegal. I made a simple comment like "it begins" and that individual got upset saying she was tryin to help. Her response was confusing and she did not clarify it just appeared to be attacking. I have learned to just ignore, have a thick skin and move on.

Stay here with us August folks so we can rejoice with you when you get your approval!! Plus, it's much easier to talk I94, EAD and AP with VJ'rs, folks at work think I'm nuts!!

Do they update constantly the cases online and also were your recept numbers MSC or a different service center

I've been reading a lot of folks getting snail mail with no online updates. They say the online system is unreliable and not consistent.. So far I haven't had problems but still we are waiting on EAD and AP

My understanding is that he is not eligible for an extension on his DL until He receives his green card. Then he gets a new license although I think it is only good for two years as that is the expiration of his initial green card.

Side note, it's interesting my husband entered two days before yours an we got married around the same time..

11th of Sept 2012– lawyer sent package to Chicago

13th of Sept 2012- Package was received

18th of Sept 2012- Received all 4Recepts for 1-485, 1-130,1-31 and 1-765 (msc receipt number)

23rd of Sept 2012- Received Biometric appointment (appointment date of 18th October)

26th of Sept 2012- Walked-in for Biometrics and was allowed to do it.

This is where I have reached so far, anybody in the waiting mode please post your experience.How long do I have to wait before I receive EAD and interview letter?

Our interview letter can right around three weeks after biometrics. Still no movement in EAD. However I see some of my fellow August filers still have no interview date and they are done with biometrics. I believe it all depends on your local office for interview. EAD, it seems to come closer to 90 days for most..

one quick question, how could I add dates below my reply???

i haven't received fingerprint request letter.. waiting!! delivered on September 12th.

To add dates to your reply, you need to change your signature. That is found under your VJ profile

only if you want your EAD quicker. On GC it won't make any difference.

It doesn't necessarily speed up EAD or AP. From what I have seen most are getting interviews long before they get EAD, unless you have RFEs on I 485 or a very slow local office..

A week has now passed since my biometrics appointment. How long, on average, did everyone have to wait before receiving interview notice?

Ours was a bit over a week. It varies however..

Thank you all for your responses. I am still a bit confused, called USCIS yesterday with really no clarification. We both have kids from previous marriages, I have my kids birth certs but his kids we don't have them at this point. His oldest is over 21 and the other two aren't immigrating. It will be a hassle to get them but I want to be prepared.. Ugh!!

We just received our interview notice for our AOS (concurrent filing). I am a bit confused as to birth certificates for children and what is required. I have all my appropriate documents but my husband at this point has none. I am under the impression that he (the non USC) is required to bring birth certificates for each of his children born out of our marriage, is this correct? And can it be copies or must it be originals? And my last question is, what about for children over the age of 21? I hope someone can help, an infopass may be after our interview at this stage...

At the Winchester Mystery house checking out the oddities and alas through comes a text message with our interview notice!! Oct 22nd, that's fast.. Yeah

I would say try still. They were friendly albeit disappointing but we only live 10min drive away so no big deal to go back. Maybe if the non USC is a cute woman it might be different... Hahaha

We are at the same local office. We attempted a walk in with no success. The guard said if we needed a different date to mail the letter back. He was friendly just not helpful. I would say try, can't hurt right? My hubby went to his appt 9/7 and it took 20 mins. The Sac office is dead!!

Congrats on all the interviews.. This group is moving along very fast. Looks like many of us could be done in 2-3 months!!!

It took 6 days for me to get txt and email. And even longer to get the paper confirmation. Settle in for waits

OP, I think that many wait awhile to "file" their paperwork due to costs primarily. That is what I have read in my scan of the site. My personal opinion is the sooner the better, plus your hubby won't be stuck in limbo while waiting to file. Remember that once his I-94 expires he is not current and has many more limitations. Once you file he at least is moving towards the ultimate goal. I would say if you have the funds, the income to sponsor (or a joint sponsor lined up) the sooner the better. I would agree with some's posts that you may have more questions regarding your length of courtship at the interview, but as one poster said that is not reason for denial alone..
