Hello guys, i did my interview today in Tampa, only took about 14 minutes, the waiting on the other hand took about an hour and a half. It was easy peasy, the officer is pretty chill and only asked for my green card and passport and that"s it. Made me raise my right hand and swear that i will tell the truth. Then she asked me what is an amendment, what month do we vote for president, who is the vice president, what did martin luther king jr do, where is the statue of liberty and what are the first 3 words of the constitution. Then i corrected some infos from the N400 form i filled out. Officer asked some questions from the N400 form then thats it. I'm now waiting for my oath ceremony to be scheduled. Good luck to everybody! 😊

Hi,
Good news, I got a notice through the mail yesterday. My interview is scheduled for Sep 21st also. The letter is not on my online account, very odd! Sep 21st at 7.30am. I'm going to need coffee.
That is so great!! 😊 Glad yours came too! 🙂

I have not received one yet. Which indicates they’re not going in original date order.

Hello guys! Another February 2017 filer here I sent my I-751 package to CSC on February 27th and it arrived on March 1st, they cashed the check on the 3rd. My NOA1 is dated 03/01/17 and says my conditional residence status is extended for a period of one year. Now waiting for my biometrics appointment...

Thanks for all your response guys, but just to be sure, i will file ROM before going to Orlando Outreach this coming October so all i need to there is my passport renewal
-
I would answer the witness question with a reference with N/A.
Wash DC is different then other Consuls and they require that the ROM be completed first before you can attend the outreach to do your passport renewal. If your passport is not expiring soon and you need to travel, just bring along your MC for proof of your name. That was our experience last year when we did the ROM.
Oh i see.. Thanks a lot Greenbaum! Guess i will finish with my ROM requirements soon
-
there are outreach programs where you can get ROM's, new Births registered, renew passports etc. that come to Florida often. Check their schedule here http://www.philippineembassy-usa.org/news/4346/589/2015-Consular-Outreach-Schedule-as-of-5-April-2015/d,phildet/
i attached this MC so you could see that there's no really witness signature or they even asked as for one. it is a mass valentine's day wedding so we actually have a lot of witnesses
it is my first marriage and my husband's second.Additional requirement for ROM:A. IF FILIPINO SPOUSE WAS PREVIOUSLY MARRIED AND DIVORCED, OR PREVIOUSLY MARRIED AND MARRIAGE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ANNULLED
One (1) original or certified true copy and four (4) photocopies of the Judicial Decree of Divorce or Annulment (original will be returned)
Note: Article 26 of the Family Code of the Philippines or Executive Order No. 209 (as amended by E.O. No. 227, promulgated on 27 July 1987) provides that:
- All marriages solemnized outside the Philippines, in accordance with the laws in force in the country where they were solemnized, and valid there as such, shall also be valid in this country, except those prohibited under Articles 35, 37 and 38.
- Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spousecapacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall have capacity to remarry under Philippine law (underlining and highlighting supplied.)
B. IF THE FILIPINO SPOUSE IS A WIDOW / WIDOWER
One (1) original or certified true copy and four (4) photocopies of Death Certificate of deceased spouse (original will be returned)
C. OTHER REQUIREMENTS
The Consular Officer reserves the right to require additional proof or documents from an applicant, to prove his/her citizenship or identity pursuant to the Philippine Passport Law (R.A. 8239) and the Foreign Service Act. (R.A. 7157)
I am Filipino and hubby is American, so since hubby is American, he don't need to submit his divorce decree?We actually missed the Tampa Outreach so we will just wait for Orlando Outreach. Is it possible to file both Report of Marriage and Passport Renewal at the same time? -

Congratulations! Finally!
Well it is offical:
I could say it's about time, but I've said that already. I could say we are happy, but you know that. I can also tell you that I am still angry. Finally got a call from my Senators office about an hour ago and I told the staffer, "Thanks but no thanks." But I did launch into a major league concern for the many of us who have and continue to wait. This bureacratic nightmare (unrelated to the overall immigration question) must be dealt with...
We are happy and it perked up my recovering wife. Now (as soon the GC is in hand) she can start the petitioning for her adult son...and that will take a LONG time...
Thank you all for listening to my somewhat jaded, cynical and sometimes humerous posts...I am also not leaving. This battle must be fought by all of us until decisions are made in a reasonable period of time...
Congratulations! I do think they work on Saturdays too since i received an update about my Green Card being in the mail today, Saturday. It is now in my hands
I received an email about an hour ago saying that my I-485 was approved! Maybe they do work on Saturdays?

I got the same status for my EAD renewal today, its been terminated. Also, i got my welcome notice yesterday in the mail, but my status online didn't change at all, its still "card was ordered to be produced". Hope all of the remaining March filers will get their GCs soon.
Hey guys, so here is an answer to another mystery we have been trying to solve, it's regarding the EAD renewal. I had my GC approved last week and today I received an updated regarding my EAD renewal application:
Case Terminated Benefit Received By Other Means
On March 25, 2015, we terminated your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization , Receipt Number MSC*********, because the applicant or petitioner received a status or benefit through other means. We will send you a termination notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Funny thing is that when i woke up this morning around 8:40am, i checked my status and its still says "Fingerprints fee received blah blah blah" and around 10am, it changed to Card in production and it was dated March 19th which is yesterday but my status didn't change til this morning at 10am..

Hi Shell! I just checked my email and I actually contacted the Ombudsman twice, January 20th and March 16th. When they replied to me yesterday, they used the Jan. 20th submission number instead of my March 16th inquiry.
Wonder when the other two filled in the form, probably Monday too, when Natonstan was approved. We have figured out approvals are probably done in blocks, the next time for approvals is probably going to be 12.30 today, so fingers crossed!!

Congratulations!
Thank you Derwood!
