    Yes. Take your GreenCard and Social Security card to your local SSA Office and they will order a new card for you.

    Hello and thank you for the answer. I need to change ithete in Los Angeles ca employers are very strickt about SS card now. They want to see that's valid for work etc, they don't care about greencard.I will go and make them to order another card for me without the stamp. Thanks for the help greatly appreciate it...

    How to organize interview Documents?? Interview is in 2 days

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Posted

    1)You get Accordion/ Harmonium type of file folders in Walmart ranging from $3- $15. They're really easy when it comes to organizing stuff ( and pulling out papers like a wizard without fumbling at the interview when your Officer needs them.) Each flap can be labeled as originals/copies/joint evidence/extras etc.

    http://www.google.com/search?q=accordion%20file&hl=en&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42452523,d.aWM&biw=1024&bih=485&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=fi&ei=p8kcUc3pK8Gs2gXd4IHQBg

    2) Second option is to get a Ring Binder file ($2-$3) with plastic sheet protectors. The sheet protectors are like empty plastic sheets( which can hold several sheets of paper, already pre-punched) Just slide them into binder; you'll have a natural compartment. Tab dividers are another way of compartmentalizing stuff.

    In my case, I got both of the above and what a relief it was! I was going crazy the day before our interview; I would have gone mental, if not for these few things that my Husband suggested.

    How I organized my file:

    Accordion file: (Originals file)

    - All the correspondence with USCIS, Originals,Primary IDs in one

    - All I20s/EAD etc in the next

    - Proof of co-mingling of assets in the 3-5th flap(lease, car title, insurance bank statement)

    - Joint purchases, Hotel receipts, Travel itinerary s, gifts, random mail in our names, other bills in the next one.

    - Emails/fb printouts, congratulatory mails, misc in the next one

    - Last one I added extras.

    Ring Binder file with sheet protectors(Copy file)

    This one had 2 copies of everything in the same order as the accordion file.

    I also had additional 2 binder files worth of additional evidence and 300 photos. Also, I carried all of these things in a huge rectangular bag so I could quickly locate stuff. The IO was royally overwhelmed, but I felt really prepared and ready. Although, at the interview the husband looked like he could use some serious help maneuvering all that stuff. Whenever the IO asked for a document, my husband would look at me in a clueless manner, unsuccessfully search and then hand over the whole file to me :rofl:

    Wish you all the best for your interview! :star: Stay calm and smile throughout. Sending you my prayers.

    thank you so much for the best wishes....

    Passport Question...

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Posted

    I took along my expired old passport that had the visa in it (and I-94) and I took my new passport as well that had nothing in it. IO looked at my visa in my old passport and never even asked if I have any new ones that hasn't expired yet or anything...and I did not get any stamp neither into the new passport, nor the old passport...and in terms of applying for my new passport (but as Brother Hesekiel says, this varies by countries) I just needed my nationality's governmental ID. Good luck!

    Hello,

    Since you have just completed the interview not long ago, you probably remember of the tax return requirements. I have gotten my Interview appoitment letter which says they need" Federal Income Tax returns and W-2's or certified IRS printouts." Which one you really need it to show for them??? When I file in December 2012, I have sent my husband 2011 year online (Turbotax) Federal taxreturn print out. They were fine with the printout without certification. The appoitment is in a month from today, dont now how gonna get them the offical certified taxreturn for sure by the appoitment. Let me know which one did you need it for your interview...I would greatly appreciate your answer.Thank you in advance

    Hi there! Unfortunately we got an RFE and are waiting for documents to come in, so that might delay things, but I do have my biometrics appointment on Friday at 3. How about you?

    Had my biometric appointment scheduled on Dec. 29 2012, I walked in early on Dec 18 2012. I saw my 485 application (online) process developed to the Interview phase. That part looks Ok. But I am wondering now about Issuing the Employment Card.Some people getting their cards improved in 24 days or so. There is another person called "another lost soul" here is her/his timeline

    9/3/2012: AOS package sent

    9/7/2012: text/email notification of NOA

    9/7/2012: checks cashed

    9/14/2012: Hard copies of NOAs arrived, I-797C arrived with biometrics appointment for 9/27/2012

    9/27/2012: biometrics completed

    9/28/2012: EAD card production ordered

    10/5/2012: EAD card received in the mail

    11/2/2012: electronic message at USCIS site: interview scheduled 12/3/2012 at NBC

    11/3/2012: got snail mail of the interview date at my local office on 12/3/2012

    Missing I-131 Advance parol Confirmation from AOS...Please help!!!

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Yes, you should have gotten four separate letters. Maybe it got lost in the mail? What I would do is check your three confirmation numbers online and then switch the last number on the lowest confirmation number to one lower and check what comes up, and if that doesn't work, change the highest number of your confirmation number to one digit higher. If there were four letters you got four confirmation numbers and should be able to trace it. Meaning, if the last three digits of your confirmation number are 123, change it to 124. I hope you understand what I am trying to say :)

    Hello, Wondering how is your timeline going. We were filling at the same time. Any progress since that. Did you get Employment Card Notification yet? Letme know how are you doing.

    Hello,

    I have filed my AOS package 3 weeks ago. I am Adjusting my Status from B-2 trough marrying US citizen. I have filled I-130,I-485,I-765 concurrent with I-131 (Advance Parole) I got email and later hard copy(NOA) conformation of the first 3 forms. I-131 and the supporting documents were the last in the package. I have not have any words of my Advance Parole Documents.First I was thinking that if I concurrently file I-765 ( as they confirmed its acceptance) than no need to confirm the Advance Parol- Travel document separately. I am keep reading other people timeline here,they talking about 4 documents confirmation. I have heard that the Advance Parol needs to be file with I-765 in order to be processed without filling fee... Any advise or suggestion what to do would be greatly appreciate....

    Do I need certified divorce degree for I-130 documents

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Posted

    hello

    One of my husbands divorce degrees isn't certified. Is it strictly need to be certified? Another question, I know that they really want the copy of the divorce degree and usually don't need to send the original one. Are they want the certification stamp on the back of the made copy or could it be on a separate paper stand alone? Any help would be greatly appreciate it.

    HOW MANY PICTURES FOR AOS

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Posted

    [i am adjusting my status from( former F-1 )than B-2 last one} through marrying US citizen. Would you able to tell me that how many passport photos did you submit with each forms like I-130, I-485, G-325A, I-765, I-131( advance parole)? I have to file very soon and I am confused how many photos they required for each forms.

    I know that I need it 6 from me sure. Another two from my houseband. For example I-485 needs 2 photos, G-325A two pictures ( one from beneficiary and another one from my US houseband attached) I-131 ( advance parole needs 2 photo from me) So does I-765 only need one photo ? Can anyone tell me what is the right order in photos? thank you
