URGENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ---------------------- ADVISE PLEASE

We have our interview scheduled for this week, in there it says, that if my husband doesn't fully speak english for him to bring a translator (my question is -----can I (his wife/petitioner) be the translator) or do I have to bring someone else????

thanks

OH GOD please Bring some else .

dont make the silly mistake AND HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE .

no you cant be her translator thats cheating and absolutely make no sense for that reason just leave him at home. the interview is for both of you no just for you.

and 2nd even interviews where couples that both speak english and ones answer for the other will be consider wrong

I was one of the first april filers and i STOP using this blog so much Im SORRY but ill explain why ..!!!!!!

For those who know me ... im sorry if i havent posted or reply to some of your msg but heres my story and it might help some of you to understand what you got into .

My name is ********** and i fielded my papers (AOS)_somewhere in march this year but it dost matter what matter is what day USCIS Receive it which is sometimes called the priority day well mine was MARCH 30 so thats why i consider my self more of a april filler than a march .

NEXT? >> you receive a biometrics notice or an RFE notice RFE mean that USCIS need additional information , or missing info . but somethings and not most of the time you can get an RFE anytime .This depends on how well you or your attorney prepared your documents but mostly you because is you or your spouse that are asking for adjust of status . right?

I got a Biometric notice which was about 20 days after my priority day If you want to see my timeline check my profile .

the biometric appointment was schedule for about 25 days after i receive the official letter, well i did a successful walk in .

yeah another story ill share it later...

NEXT?>>>

Your worst nightmare probably one of the longest waits your gonna have in this process so get use to it ,don't cry about it just face it, relax take a deep breath and find something productive to do - A message for those in this step

And What are you waiting for you might ask ?

Well 2 or 3 things .

1) Your work permit (and Parole Document) Which Yes Yes yes it will be a combo card which was designated like 2 years ago its more convenient and yes its new 2 years ago they didn't have those, don't believe me ?google it. How long? No more than 75 day after our first date (priority date) my case ? 69 days .

2) Your aproved for an interview ( not the actual interview ) but a stupid step use to put u in a line for a date to schedule your appointment. but its a good sign it will mean that you're almost done

3) A 1000 US dollar check for your patience ... JUST KIDDING 3) AN RFE ... but don't wait for those instead hope that u don't get one of those if you do remain calm at least is not a denial letter . right?

NEXT>>>

yeah you get ur work permit, then you get youre social, you will then have a license well then bhal bla bla. YES YOU NOW WHAT COME WAIT BECOUSE YOU BEEN WAITING FOR BUT if i get request ill give you guys a tutorial on what to do next.

BUT WHAT YOUR REALLY WAITING FOR IS... your appointment notice which guys it will be another long wait about 95 days but once you do it will be your 2nd best feeling why and like i say in the little you can leave this blog or do what Im doing share u story say good bye and help some couple folks good karma right ???

why is it the 2nd best feeling ?

becuse is your last step and you shouldnt worry ( IF YOU MARRIGE IS LEGITIMATE MEAN A REAL MARRIAGE ) SERIOUSLY DON BE AFRAID YOU MADE IT AND THE INTERVIEW WILL BE THE EASIEST THING IF NOT UR IN TROUBLE....

seriously dont be afraid don't let people get on your head this is a very easy process nothing to be afraid of just stay calm if you doing this in love you be fine.

Trust me A USCIS officer is not there to Judge on your Race of background or whatever his there to catch fraudulent marriages.

bottom line is dont worry and be calm.

My interview was today and its short, they asked my wife, the petitioner, only 2 questions ( when did i enter the country, whats my mother and father names and thats it ) they didn't ask me anything seriously and after 3 minutes he writes something down and says ok i just approved your case you will get a green card in the mail bye. Still i was a little lucky because this officer happens to give quick and simple interviews, but no matter how long the interview might take it is nothing to worry about.

My hands are tired so im gonna stop here GOOD BYE EVERYONE AND LIKE MY NICK NAME SAYS GOODLUCKTOUS

I called on my 30th day and the started a case they say they will get back at me in 15 days or less

Soo just to make sure, the whole "if you don't receive your appointment letter within 30 days of it being mailed" thing, that doesn't mean if it doesn't arrive within 30 days of online status change, does it? It's been 4 weeks since my status changed to testing and interview but that just means I'm on the list to get a date, correct? Just wondering if I should call or keep waiting patiently, the immigration office here looked very busy with at least 25 people there for biometrics when I was there so I imagine there's a lot of people waiting for interview dates but still I'd hate to miss the interview if I never got the notice in the mail and just keep thinking it's normal to wait that long

We all be alright I been in testing and interview for 5 weeks today

Congrats to all the folks who've received their interview appointment and/or the EAD production notice!!!! I've been in "Testing and Interview" for almost three weeks now but still no date yet. I try to keep myself from checking for updates but it seems like impatience is getting the better of me. Anyway, I'm hoping for a miracle soon. Good luck to the rest of you folks who're anxiously waiting like me.

I'm so happy ..

It's was 72 days today .

Biometrics done 1 month ago ...

Nothing yet :/...

Avocato !!!

I'm in the testing and interview now for 22 days why is taking so long .???

Avocato

When did you send your forms ???

I'm in testing and interview for 15 days Now

Oh that's great news !!!

That means that your document is is production, you will have another update with a tracking a number .

But can you please remind me the date when did you file ??

And have you have any change in your I485 ??

Hi All,

Update Card/ Document Production

On May 13, 2014 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

We got this update the day before our biometrics which was completed successfully on May 14th.

Question - Does this mean card is in production or they actually mailed it, we went from initial review to Card/Document production status and the noted saying they mailed it on the 13th. do they usually give a tracking number ?

Please advise

Thanks all

Jack And Maria

Now I guess I just have to wait 5 weeks for the interview and keep praying on the EAD.

Biometrics was May 5th - AOS (I-485)

In my case it moved to Testing & Interview the same day only hours aftert the actual biometrics.

It's now 11 Days since I'm in the the "Interview list" and I'm frustrated I don't know how long I'm gonna be here for . Witch is how this whole proces is :/.

moved to Testing & Interview Was only only a new waiting Stage .

No change in AP or EAD.

No letter from USCIS since the latter from my biometrics .

Aww yikes sorry for that ??

It should arrive on the Mail soon

RFE FOR WHAT ??

My biometrics where schedule for May 5 at 11 am .

And I got a change if status at 7pm the same day for

(Testing and interview )

My question here is when and where is my INTERVIEW .

But even more frustrating is the waiting ..

Hoe much long till I get interview ??

when did you file your petitions? Both I765,I131 will usually take up to 90 days, after you completed your biometrics.

From what I've read so far, there's no 1 way how USCIS process everyone's applications, it differs case by case, country by country.

I still don't have any changes on my

I765,I131,I130

They all remain in INITIAL INTERVIEW .

But my I485 is in TESTING AND INTERVIEW

My sister mention how in her case she got the interview and her green card before her work permit arrived and at that point it didn't matter because you can walk to the SSagency and get your social security and it won't have the (work only ) statement in the card.

I know the i485 is the most important form but I would still appreciate to get anything soon ??

Is just a lil hard to understand how uscis work my original biometrics was for today at 11 am and I have change of status at 7 pm it's fast but I also want to bring up that my I485 was from (acceptance to testing and Interview ) and skipped some steps .

DOES THIS MEANS I WONT GET ANY RFE ??

Congrats! So Im guessing early biometrics makes no difference time wise...

HELLO EVERYONE

My name is mark and I'm using this website so I don't feel lonely troughs this process I'm helping everyone if I can and it makes me really happy .

I filled for adjusting status I came to this country when I was a child with out my consent /opinion and I overstay my time on a tourist visa .

Anyway I took advantage and luckily I graduated from a good high school in Pennsylvania and was able to meet my spouse we have 5 years together and this year we filled for my papers due to economic issues we did it this year and not before .

^^^^^^^^ but let's put that aside

I want to create a group with some of you folks that.. please must and have their forms process in the NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER and want to share our time line so please msg me only if you fall in this criteria .

* your case is being process on the NBC.

* you file your forms btw march/April

* you live in the US and your adjusting status

* you enter the country legally but you over stay

* you have filled forms i485 I130 i765

PLEASE only message me we the (subject. GREEN CARD) if you fall in this criteria and I will send you an invitation for my forum in which you feel like home .

Please be respectful and polite you will be treated the same .

I want to let know that in no circumstances I'm trying to discriminate anyone who's different my intention is only to create a forum more specific for those who are going through the same as me .

Thank you .

Here's my story for walk in . On 04/17/14.

Walk in to the uscis building wich it was assigned in the letter with the bio apoiment that was schedule for May 5 .

It was around 2 pm I walk in and did a security searched to be able to enter the building .

Then I ask wich room was assigned to biometrics.

Walk in and was attended by a frond desk person

Who told me to sign a paper and provide some info like alien number , adress and biometric information PASSPORT AND LETTER APOIMENT .

Then u sat down for 2 minutes fill my info and hand it in WITHOUT mention that I was there 2 weeks early hoping he would not noticed , but he did .

He ask ~ do you'll know you not schedule till may 5 ,

I say ~ yes I know and honestly I just thought I can maybe speed upy proces .

He ask - do you have and excuse why you can come on May 5 .

I say ~ NO and I don't want to lie to you or make up a story .

He says ~ sur down I'm gonna call my supervisor

....

Manager ~ call my NAME.

Me ~ good afternoon

Manager ~ what brings you here ??

Me ~ honestly I'm here to attempt to do a walk in I don't want to lie to you or make up a story.

Manager ~ why don't to just come when your suppose to.

Me ~ I work and today I was off and I just have an extra time and deciedet to give a try .

Manager ~ I like your honesty but next time you have to come on the day if notice .

Me ~ a THANK YOU Thank you.

Manager ~ you know it doesn't speed up the proces

Me~ it's worth a try

...

In conclusion be polite and honest if you do have a proper excuse give it but don't lie and remember THEY WANT EVIDENCE SHOWINF why you can't show up that day.

Thank you
