  2. Hey guys,

    I don't have my Bio appointment scheduled at the moment, but I believe it should be scheduled in about 3 weeks.

    My concern is that I might have neither a green card, nor i-791 NOA on hands, since I am applying for a Schengen visa, and they are requesting both original and copies of these documents.

    Will I be able to go through the Biometrics appointment without green card? On the website, I was able to find the following info:

    "Your notice will provide specific instructions on what you should bring with you to your ASC appointment. You must also bring:

    Your ASC appointment notice (Form I-797C), and

    Valid photo identification (such as your Green Card, passport, or drivers license)"

    https://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-information/preparing-your-biometric-services-appointment

    Someone in other thread mentioned they had to show the green card. Did anyone go through Bio with just a State ID or Driver's License?

    Thanks!

  3. They don't ask for the I-751 NOA. They want the original I-797C NOA (Biometrics letter) as it contains bar codes that they use for scanning purposes during your appointment.

    Also, they asked for my green card even though I showed they my drivers' license. Not sure if the other posters who already had their bio appt can chime in if they had the same ask about the green card.

    Hope there are some other posters who didn't have to show their green card (though, it would be foolish of me to rely on it). I'll also ask in the main thread! Thanks.

  6. I also had my interview at 26 Federal Plaza this morning.

    Our appt was at 9:30 a.m. and we arrived on time but we were only called after 11:15 a.m. There were a lot of people!

    Our interview started with a major snag and we knew it would happen and came prepared. We had applied for the I-130 since July 2013 and it was supposed to have been transferred from Nebraska service centre to the NY office to match up with our I-485 AND we had clearly stated that it needed to be transferred on our AOS cover letter and provided the copy of the I-130 transfer notice...yeah...that so didn't happen... :protest:

    The I-130 is still sitting in Nebraska folks...since Sept 2013! Fortunately we had carried a complete copy of the I-130, with fresh signatures and passport pictures which allowed me to actually get through the interview. The IO couldn't believe that I had gotten scheduled for the interview without the I-130 not already in the file. He reviewed the I-130 copy we provided and accepted that as being complete. He then reviewed the I-485 yes/no questions, asked me to confirm my current address and the date we got married. That was it! He didn't ask to see any additional bona fide evidence (as we had front-loaded the I-130) or see our wedding album. He looked pretty stern at first glance but he was really nice to both my husband and I and laughed with us several times.

    He said his supervisor wanted the original I-130 transferred from Nebraska before they can approve the AOS and he wrote in my passport that my AOS is pending. He said that he hopes that they transfer the I-130 from NSC asap but we all know that this could potentially take weeks :(

    So even though the interview went really well and he was pretty much ready to approve me, it is still in pending status for the moment thanks to the I-130 fiasco!

    Wow, that'a long time to wait! Congrats, hope the i-130 will be transferred very soon for you :)

    Thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you to VisaJourney.com. This website was so helpful to me and my husband throughout the AOS process. This website has accurate information and I found answers to so many of our questions. We did not use an attorney to prepare the applications (I-485, I-130, I-864, I-765). We followed the guides from this site. Our interview lasted about 45 minutes. We had a couple of red flags and I thought the officer would review our case for a couple of months and then make a decision. We did consult with an attorney and were told not to expect an approval on the day of the interview. The attorney advised us that we could wait up to 90 days.

    The officer told us that we had sufficient evidence (I had tons of evidence) for an approval and I was so happy inside when I heard the loud thump of the approval stamp on our AOS application.

    Again thank you VisaJourney. This site is so wonderful and helpful for people with straight forward cases and people with red flags like ours.

    Our case status has been changed on the USCIS website to Card Production.

    Send an email to me if you would like tips on what marriage evidence to submit.

    May 19, 2014 AOS interview-approved!

    I agree. Visajourney is a holy grail of immigration forums. Congrats on your approval!

  7. Thank you and everyone else responding. I thought I had everything ready to go this morning but my husband (petitioner) spend a lot of time reviewing page by page in the package, and found several mishaps ( I forgot to sign the certification birth certificate translation done by myself and make copies of that page, there are a couple of pages missing for my passport and I have to make the copies, forgot to include copy of any valid ID for I-765, fix wording on part of cover letters, typos, reposition order of documents such addendum) . I have been working non stop on this package for the last month, I spent this past weekend working on it so I could send it on Monday. Frustration is building up and causing tension at home, but at the end everything works out, it is better to have it delayed a couple of extra days and correct all the errors, mishaps, etc than dealing with possible RFE in the future.

    I hear you. I've been changing some minor things i.e words in caps/non-caps, word choice, etc every day for the whole month until we shipped the package. But you have to be diligent with this sort of things. Even if you are 100% sure your package is fully prepared, give it a few hours and open it up again. Check, proof read, and you will be fine!

  8. Hey frankel,

    Congrats on your approval !

    Tell us more about your interview at federal plaza

    We arrived 30 minutes before our appointment. I believe there were about 3-4 AOS couples/families before us. Had to wait, and were let inside about 15 minutes later than our scheduled appointment, so the overall wait time was about 40-45 minutes. The immigration officer was a woman in her 50s, didn't really smile when we met. Went inside her office, swore an oath and then she asked us to put anything that we brought in on her table. We had 3 photoalbums, plus a scrapbook. The biggest concern was with an expandable file that contained all of our docs. I think we overdid it - I spent the whole evening on Sunday just to organize this folder. Here is the photo of a similar file that we had:
    So, every compartment of the file contained a set of documents. Each document was paper clipped to its copy. I thought that maybe we will take some stuff out if our Io asks us for supporting evidence. Unfortunately, the officer asked us to get everything out. Boy, that was a mess. Everything mixed up in a second. She found our passports with the copies and set them aside.
    After that, the IO proceeded to go through our albums. She didn't ask us a question. At some time when she turned a page, I noticed there was a random empty page and chuckled. The IO asked me what's wrong, and I explained that to her. She didn't seem to pay attention and continued turning pages.
    The IO then proceeded to asking questions. Nothing really special: DOB, in what city we were born, how we met and our first date, when we got married, how we celebrated, how many people were there, if we have the lease with us, how much is the rent, where do we work, etc. Then, she started asking me yes/no questions from the i-485.
    At the end, she asked us if we had any questions. I asked how soon we should hear from USCIS, she said it will take up to 120 days to receive a response, but we should expect the decision sooner. She also said that everything looks good.
  9. SO I had my interview yesterday, it was schedule for 315, since i like to be on time for everything, i got there 45 min early, came 330 the room was empty everyone was called, so some guy ask us if we had an appt and what time, so i think they forgot about us. 5 minutes later this woman come out and call our name, she didnt make any eye contact, so i got worried. First we had to swear an oath to tell the truth, then she asked my husband my name and DOB and asked my parents name.. after that she went over my application and went over my first came coming here, she asked to see my I94, but i told her i didnt have but my passport was stamped with both of my entry, she said thank you and think that was enough. So after she asked since we sent application if we had anything else to ADD than we showed Registration of boat we bought, Car insurance, and other things we brought and then she said that i had sent few pics if i had more, so i gave to her ( i made few collages of few events ) she didnt look at them all.. She asked if she could make copies, i told her she could keep them all, that i had the collage for them, I showed her my wedding album she didnt finish looking at that either, then she said that we made a good couple, and that she was going to make copies of our IDs and when she came back she said i should receive my green card within 4 weeks and explained the process of ROC and becoming citizen, i told her i wanted to change my name to his last name, so she crossed off my last name and told me that my green card would have his last time. The paper that seh gave us said pending review, and i have not received any email changing status yet! Granted we left the building after 430.. so i am hoping i am getting something soon, cuz i am getting worried.

    hope my experience helped!

    Congrats! Mine i485 was updated today, 2 days after the interview :)

  10. I hope you hear something positive soon. Which NY office did you have interview at? Mine is June 11th. They got my EAD application and today I got a receipt number for it. I'd rather just have the green card in June. Whole process is tiring...

    We had the interview at Federal Plaza. Waiting is the worst, and we hope to the update soon. But hey, at least we had our interview scheduled relatively soon :)

  11. Please let us know how it went :) mine is tomorrow, I am so nervous

    Last night both cases for i-485 and i-130 went back to Initial Review stage. Today I received a tracking for the EAD card.

  12. Definitely get one from his father, and any maternal/paternal aunt/uncle/grandparent that knew him from birth.

    Siblings wouldn't be a valid option unless they are significantly older than your husband and would have remembered his birth.

    Make sure to have whomever include a photocopy of their ID with their affidavit. If the affidavit is done in a foreign language, you'll need to have it translated into English.

    Do you need to attach a copy of the ID along the affidavit? We sent 2 bona-fide marriage affidavit from our friends and did not add it. Should we bring the copies to our interview, what do you think?

  13. Thanks...good to know it's outdated and that it's not as bad. I just hope my case is not complicated and gets stuck due to the whole employment to marriage. There is no one else going through it for me to follow and see how they get processed... Good luck with interview. Excited? Nervous? Where in NYC do you get interviewed?

    We are uber excited; we did not expect to have the interview set up this early. Hopefully, all goes well. Not sure where, since we are yet to receive an actual mail. Since we reside in Brooklyn, I suspect Federal Plaza in Manhattan. Good luck to you!
