Yes yes yes!

We got the interview date!

September 15th It goes fast

I will be shortly, got a job offer and just waiting for the formal letter to come through.

Congrats and fingers crossed

Try to contact your congressman

He could help too

Yes I did! And today it changed to "Card Production" all of a sudden!

I am glad I can really apply to any job now... hopefully I will get the interview appointment soon too :-)

No email or text notification this time either! haha

What visa are you adjusting from?

You may not have the interview at all I guess it means you just gonna get the green card

Congrats

Try to walk-in!

It will speed up your case for sure, plus why not?

You not gonna get RFE or anything for trying

Do you want to wait for another 2 weeks?

Got my RFE in the mail finally!

They just want a copy of the birth certificate for my co-sponsor.

See/ I knew it was something small.

They need it to check if your co-sponsor is US citizen.

Sometimes the passport is enough, sometimes they ask for birth certificate.

I'm improving my cooking skills too!

I would prefer to be in the green card train instead lol

@excitedtimes - do you have any news about your RFE?

moved to Testing & Interview

Yay! Congrats!

So they're really working!

I did, but I also read almost everything here and I do know that some people don't get notifications, even if they asked for them, subscribed and stuff.

And yeah I can see the dates. The problem is that the case's status can change in the middle of the night.

This waiting train is terrible

Almost every day? I keep VJ open and refresh the site as often as I have time, means all the time lol.

Im checking my status like 20 times per day (I dont somehow trust the notifications on email).

And Im getting almost heart attack everytime I cant log in.

Plus Im rewatchin XFiles. Its a long tv show - 9 seasons plus some movies. It keeps me busy lol

I'm so sorry to hear that!

Hopefully that's a small thing and you will be able to send them stuff they want very soon.

On the other side you know that they actually started to look into your case. Fingers crossed, I'm sure it's something small and it would be easy to correct it!

Please, let us know what your RFE is about.

Anybody got lucky and got info about getting to Testing & Interview stage?

I would call them and ask. That would be way safer than just guessing

It's signature Your profile - settings and then you can just write it down

That's the best option

rerto - hopefully it will work out next time! fingers crossed!

Well I could give that proof but I'm afraid that If I started complaining that we don't have enough money, our financial stability would be questionable? Well, of course it would be better for us, for everybody to be honest, for me just to start working, Im just concern if they gonna question affidavit of support? Wouldn't that those two things related somehow?

Or I'm terribly wrong and missing something?

Thank you retro,

Maybe I should also apply for expedite.. I don;t have a job offer yet, but no one wants to hire me without the card... so it's kinda never ending circle.. DId you wait till your case changed to T&I? Or just requested expedite EAD/AP?

I've requested to expedite my EAD/AP. I did it the same day as I did my biometrics walk-in. I'll keep you updated. But basically - you have to prove you really need it - like an offer letter and/or a letter from your new company stating that they will suffer financial loss if you can't start soon.

Anywho, it seems that we are not too far apart with filing and biometrics walk-in's. Will be fun to see how it moves along for us.

Yeah, we were thinking about expedite.. I have to say that I already started to apply for jobs. A job offer should be sufficient, right? How can you do it? Can you give me some advice?

And I really really hope that will be FUN

I'm reading other topics.. some people got their EADs pretty quickly, some of them didn't get them at all, some just got green card, some got GC without an interview. It's really confusing. Every single case is sooo different.

We are still afraid of RFE... My wife didn't earn much in 2013, but right now she has a stable, full time job and earns more than enough... but we are still nervous.

I'm wondering how much does it take to get the EAD card.. I know it's 90 days but.. I don;t know some people don;t get it at all, some of them wait, some of them want to speed the process..

What do you think? When can we expect EAD?

Congrats! That;'s great news

Now the REAL waiting begins lol

DI everybody applied for EAD? I can;t wait to see mine. I really really reaaaaally want to start working.

this whole waiting process thing is getting to our nerves huh?

Welcome to America braveheart97xxx I think it's something we should get used to..

Wow! That's awesome.

You got me thinking on this one I do have a prior commitment on aug 1st (that's when they have scheduled my biometrics) and would greatly benefit from getting done earlier.

Did they ask you why you wanted a walk-in instead of the assigned date and time? I am attending a week long seminar that starts July 28th and was wondering if showing them my registration print out would be enough to get a walk-in?

Did you get there first thing in the morning?

I had only passport and the appointment letter. We wanted to explain why we were early and stuff, but they were super nice and said "oh, don;t explain anything, it's absolutely no problem." I was seriously shocked. Everything took maybe 10 minutes?

We got there around 9:30 and there was some people already waiting, so the office wasn't empty or anything.

I guess it depends where you go. I think everybody should try.. because.. why not?

I just did the early walk-in for biometrics in West Palm!

They were super nice and there was absolutely no problem

Biometrics done!

Congrats!

It was a long way! But finally - the happy end!

Thank you! I was wondering if I should do it...

I will try anyway Hopefully that would speed up the whole process..

Thanks!

I got the biometrics today too!

It's scheduled for August 8th...

Is it possible to try an early walk-in? What do you think?
