Thank you. I've been in testing and interview for almost a month and still no change. Where was your interview? Seattle or Tukwila?

Hi,

Anyone from the Seattle, WA office? Would love to compare timelines

when is your interview?

getting a B2 visa in order to do AOS would be considered visa fraud.

I believe the overstay has consequences only if you leave the US before getting your green card. Once you get the green card, your overstay is forgiven and you can travel in and out of the US.

They send you an email stating your aplication is ready for interview scheduling which means they have to check eith your local uscis office fir a date and they will let you know. It usually takes a few days after you get that email do i'm waiting to get the date. It also depends on where you live i think, some places take longer than others. Here in vermont is pretty fast. Good luck

Ive been on Testing and Interview since July 30th and still nothing. We're going on a trip for 2 weeks next week, so I'm hoping I get an interview for september

Has anyone gotten an interview date but has not seen any changes on the website?

Done my biomatrics in July 28th, still no touch and no updates yet. Big cons to July Filers who already got interview notice, hopefully mine could come soon as well.

i don't think anyone from july already got their interview notice...

wow super!

Hi! On your timeline it states that "Testing/interview" July 30. Can you elaborate some more please? Interview for the Green Card?? If so CONGRATS!

I meant that on July 30th I got an email stating that my AOS is now ready for interview scheduling and when I log in to the website, it is now at the Testing and Interview step.

That's quick for interview scheduling! Hope your EAD and AP is approved soon as well!

Yes, I was surprised when I got the email.. But from what I've gathered, it can stay in this step for a long time

Just got an email saying that my application is now ready for interview scheduling. Hopefully I will get an interview letter soon

And did you manage to apply for one succesfully? Do they require NOA hard copy? I also want to get a US ID asap, I don't like carrying around my passport because I'm always afraid I'll lose it.

I havent tried yet. Couldn't go in today. Thinking about going in tomorrow. The woman on the phone explained to me the process, and no they dont ask for any NOA or anything. I asked about the ID though, not the driver's license. all she said is to go to a DMV to apply, they will then send you a form in the mail, you have to complete it and send it back to them, then they will give u a call for you to go in and verify your identity and whether you are truly a WA resident. Seems like a lot of work, but if you need an ID, I think its best to start doing it ASAP. I need one too as I dont want to keep carrying my passport around. Will write more about it tomorrow if I go to the DMV.

Bummer. Thanks guys

Called WA and they told me you can get an ID with no problem, even if you dont have a social. Only thing is it takes longer as they have to verify you are a resident of WA.

Going to the office this afternoon to start the process. I dont want to wait for my EAD to get an ID.

I believe you dont need to fill oiut the reason if you are applying for AOS

early biometrics successful today in Seattle

Got my biometric letter today for august 4th

Hi

I was checking my NOA1 for my I-485 and noticed that the priority date is May 20th 2014. I mailed my paperwork at the beginning of july. What is that date for? does it even matter?

thanks

Add me to the list Sent my paperwork on July 3rd. now, we wait

When filed with an I-485 you don't need to fill that section out, if you read the instructions it says as much but I'm too lazy to look up where and what it says.

read the instructions again thinking I didn't see it, but I don't see it saying that...

I know I have seen it somewhere on the forum a while back but i cannot remember on what post i had read about it. I checked the example forms on this forum but part 4 is left blank, so it is not helping.

What did people who got their AP approved put for part 4 (reason for requesting AP)?

on the instruction guide from USCIS' website, it says that vacation is not a valid reason to request AP.

Also, it also asks to provide a separate sheet of paper explaining the reason why you're requesting it. Is this really necessary?

Thank you

Hi,

I was wondering, do I still have to submit evidence of a bonafide marriage with my I-485 if I already have an approved I-130?

the I-130 was approved a few days ago, and we are switching form consular processing to AOS.

I will still include the marriage certificate but do I need to include rental leases and everything else that proves that the marriage is real? I thought that since my I-130 was approved there would not be a need to send these documents again.

Please advise. Thank you

AOS from B2

There is no such rule when it comes to USCIS. Follow the guide: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=i130guide2

what do you mean there is no such rule... I've read everywhere that there is....

Hi,

I was wondering if this rule applies to everybody? I am married to a USC. We live overseas so we started with a CR1 visa and submitted the I-130 last month. Got the I-130 approval yesterday. We are now in the US (rented a summer rental so we could spend the summer here-have some family coming to Seattle, and wanted to spend time with them... ). I came in as a B2 visitor. We actually really like it here and wish we could stay and not leave. Do I have to wait the 60 days to apply for AOS? I had my medical done 2 weeks ago and read that they might think that I had preconceived intent (i was overdue for a vaccine and wanted to get it done since I would need it for my CR1)

thank you

We got married back in march this year and file for my I-130 in april from abroad. End of May, we decided to go spend the summer in the US. It's has been just under 2 weeks, but we don't think we want to go back... We still have our apartment overseas, with internet, cable, electricity, etc... We just rented (on monday) a small place on a month to month basis to spend the summer here, but like I said, everything of ours is still in our portent overseas.

If we submit for AOS, would that be considered intent to stay and get denied?
