I promise! Ohhhh, there is the whole month of waiting Funny, that my EAD status haven't changed!

Hi JuliaMoon,

Mine will be on Oct 29th too, but I think will be in San Francisco.

What documents the letter ask us to bring?

I was in rush to answer the RFE and forgot to make a copy of the package. =(

Just the the same - passports, birth certificates, financial documents, taxes together (we don`t have it), insurance together, bank account, lease for both names, photos, correspondence on your address and all these things.

What time is your interview?

I just got my letter from USCIS. My interview is on October, 29 in Santa Ana, OC, CA.

If you don't have many pictures, take whichever you have If you have pictures with each other's family in them then that's even better.

People also take things like the bills for the rings/wedding bands, tickets for trips you took together etc.

From what I have read, I understand that they give a lot of importance to intermingling financial assets like bank accounts, credit cards, especially insurance (auto or health) so take statements for those if you have. If you don't now is the time to add yourself to his bank accounts =)

Wedding invitations are also another thing you can take and letters from your friends/landlords stating that you live together and rental agreements maybe.

Our timelines are very close My interview is on october, 29.

I actually have the same problem. Hubby is not a picture person. He doesnt want to take pictures so theres not much to show. What documents do you think we need to get just for the interview?

That`s what I`m going to take

1. Pics that we have for 3 years, just few pics before marriage and basically 90% of photos that we made after

2. 2 wedding invitation with both our names and our address (we got lucky that 2 our friends got married so we got a lil more evidence

3. Statements from the bank. We are going to add me to his bank account next week.

4. Insurance ( I am not sure about it, because he just had interview for another job, so we are waiting to add me to his insurance. If he get a new job - I will join his insurance there, if he stays on his current job - I will join that insurance. But because they can tell us that for example I need to wait till New Year or something - I am not sure if we are going to have it at all)

5. All his financial documents again, new paychecks and new letter from work.

6. Lease or a letter from our landlord that we live together.

7. All that documents that we sent with AOS (birth certificate, marriage certificate bla bla bla)

That`s actually all we are going to have. We've been married for 3 months from now, so I don't think that you can collect tons of papers. We are not rich, so we don't buy stuff for both our names, I don't have a car and etc. I am sure that if they ask us for more - we will send them, but I don`t really worry about it, because I can even tell the officer how many pairs of underwear he has and what color lol.

I don't see any reason to worry about the interview if your marriage is not fake

May I ask, If you got married in 2011 on a K-1, why have you only now filed to adjust status and employment authorization? Can you stay in the US for 2 years without adjusting status from a K-1?

They had F-1 visa I think.

And Im watching family guy. Need something to cheer me up while waiting for all of these.

I'll start to go through the documents for the interview. I'm afraid we don't have that much documents. Even pictures. We basically sit home or spend time together, so we don't have pics together - there is simply no one to get them for us

me too i am currently watching the xfiles on season 9 on nexfix. I have seen alot of shows and movies its kept me sane lol

I am watching 'desperate housewives', because that's exactly like I`m feeling these days

I know!!! I have memorized the channel listing in our cable already. Can't wait to get a job. Lol

Lol, I've seen all netflix movies and TV shows, can't wait to get out of the house

I sent my concurrent application on Aug 25 2013. Here is my timeline so far:

08/25/2013 mailed in with Express mail

08/26/2013 received in Chicago

08/30/2013 checks went through

09/03/2013 email and text notifications

09/07/2013 three NOAs received in mail

09/09/2013 biometrics appointment letter received for 09/25/2013

09/11/2013 walk in biometrics done

09/25/2013 email notification of the case status going to "Testing and Interview"

But my I-765 and I-130 are still in "Initial Review" status. Is it how it is supposed to be?

Mine are the same - Initial Review.

UPDATE!

Status online finally changed! Our interview scheduled on October, 29!

We waited for 3 weeks after biometrics to get "testing and interview" and we still didn`t get the date. But I see people here from Cali who got their dates in a week after biometrics ((((((((((

Julia,

Have you signed up for the text or email alerts on the USCIS website?

If not, visit https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/selectusertype.jsp and register. You will need your MSC numbers from you NOAs.

Hope this helps.

James

Hello,

Yes, we did. I think they just don`t do that all the time

i signed up too , and never received the rfe status to my email or phone. I just checked it on the site.

strange

I wonder how many days it takes to get the date of the interview now..

Did you sign up for case updates via text and email? Hopefully you'll receive the interview letter soon.

Yes, we did. I got my NOA that way.

I was eating dinner, giving myself a pat on the head for cooking such a delicious coconut chicken dish... and then I heard my phone ring... a text message from USCIS! My status has just been changed to "Testing & Interview"! I don't think this day could be any better!

Why I didn't get any texts They just changed status online

We filed AOS on August, 3.
