I just checked the USCIS site and it says my interview is scheduled for March 21st

The only thing that struck me is that it says the interview will be at the National Benefit Center. I thought they would be held at the local office? Where is the NBC, does anybody know?

Online it will say it's at the NBC. I think it's just because of generality. Once you get your notice in the mail it will tell you the name of the exact location to go to as well as the time.

FYI: NBC is in Missouri

Interview set for March the 14th! Kinda nervous/ excited. My wife is definitely excited about it, she thinks it'll be funny like in the movie "The Proposal"

Just got back from social security office and should receive my social security card by next Thursday! AHHH!!!

Just got my EAD delivered! It is safely stored in my wallet and I will make my way to Social Security Office tomorrow to apply for my number!

Just got movement on my i485 to Testing and Interview...everything is moving nice and smoothly

Well, yesterday I got a notice that my EAD card was in production...I just got an e-mail saying USPS just picked it up. Got my tracking number and they delivery date is expected to be in 2 days.....HOLY COW!!!

Just got a text/e-mail notice from USCIS. January the 30th received one saying EAD approved. Today....EAD card production!!!!!!! Still nothing on an interview, any ideas why? Also, just spoke to my lawyer. Says at this stage RFEs are VERY unlikely.

Hey all - quick question (although I asked this on the main forum and no one had answers so I hope someone here can help me out!):

I start my new job tomorrow and currently have only a job letter from my employer. I need to respond to the RFE for my husband's AOS by the end of March, but I really was hoping to do it ASAP because I want him to get his EAD as quickly as possible. But I don't know if I should send back the RFE response with: a) new I-864 with new income (it is above poverty level), b) employer letter, and c) tax information (again). OR if I should wait until the end of February when I will have two paystubs to send with the previous mentioned items. Just as a note, our RFE was for insufficient income so I want to try to prove that I am now CURRENTLY making enough money.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Kate

Something I might suggest, depending on how well you get along with your boss (I understand it's a new job, so circumstances may vary), is to get your boss to write a letter (with company letter head) to USCIS with the following information:

• When you started
  
• How many hours per week you'll work
  
• how much money she guarantees you will make this year
  

Reason being is if your employer promises you'll make X amount over the poverty line, USCIS will sometimes honor it.

My wife had her Biometrics Appointment on the same date. I still haven't received any text saying anything.

It may have to do with where you're being processed at. I am at the National Benefits Center. Does that mean that my EAD is approved and the next step is for them to mail me my card?

Had My Biometrics Appointment this Monday January the 28th. Got a text today saying my EAD was approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH YEAHHHH!!!!! The online status switched to "Decision" for i765. That is all. What's next???

About freaking time! I finally got my biometrics appt notice today after a month of filing! My appt is for January 28th. Does anyone know how long to get the EAD or Interview Notice after that?

Biometrics letter received in mail today! Merry Christmas everyone!

First off CONGRATS!!

Second off GRR I sent mine before you and still haven't gotten biometrics! LOL

What USCIS center is your case being processed at?

how do u view the status of ur case online? i sent AOS last week

I sent mine in about 3 weeks ago. So you will probably have to wait. First off you need your NOA with the receipt numbers for your applications. Then once you get them, you can go to www.uscis.gov and enter the receipt numbers on the left of the screen!

I guess someone at USCIS saw my post, I can see it online now. I still have not received anything about Biometrics though. Online Case just says "Initial Review". And here I used to tell people I had a lot of patience....

It seems that most people are not able to view their case status online till right before or right after their Biometrics appointment. I'm not exactly sure about the Biometrics appointment letter but it should probably be scheduled for the end of the month or the first week in January at the latest.

That's what I figured and I keep seeing the calendar tick the days closer to the new year and nothing! I'm almost tempted to call them and ask them when my appointment is with the excuse (which is a real fear) that I'm afraid I will miss it and cannot check online to see what's going on. Any experience on this?

A little Back Ground. I overstayed my visitors visa for quite a few years (Came to USA 1998 and haven't left since). Met my wife in college and dated for 1 year, we were engaged for 10 more months and then got married October 6th! All in All the packet I sent in kicks butt! Affidavit letters of support from her parents that was notarized, letters from friends, tons of pictures professionally taken at our wedding (one including all 200+ guests that attended), bank accounts merged, her DL with new last name, lease, and to top it off, the engagement ring letter of appraisal (to toot my own horn, if they don't think my wedding is Bona Fide after that then WOW!)

I'm waiting on the Biometrics Letter to get here but its been 16 days now since USCIS received my package!! What do you think? Is this average? Also, USCIS hasn't uploaded my case to their online tracker!

I sent in everything on November the 29th through my lawyer's mail. (The mail at my home seems to be very inconsistent with various packets and letters going missing, so I told my lawyer to list himself 'In Care Of' so that I could make sure I received everything). The Cash was checked on Friday December the 7th and I haven't heard anything since then! I can't look at the back of my check because they did ACH (electronic transfer) Transfer instead of just cashing the check. AHHH I'M SO IMPATIENT!!! When do you guys think I'll hear something?
