Thank u!

Hello lovely people, I am awaiting our I 485 adjustment of status interview. We had originally rescheduled our first one from August due to unexpected travel. Long story shorter, case was closed (by error of uscis) then reopened in November. They said we will be told when green card interview is. Since all this we are still waiting to hear about interview. Sooooo nervous that the letter will get lost in the mail or something! So my question is.,, When you go on uscis check my case status online if the interview is scheduled will it show interview details on the check my case status? Currently it still shows the case reopened since November. Thank you so much

Yes well I'm

Waiting for the reschedule but the original one said originals of all forms sent to uscis. I couldn't really figure out what that meant. We used a preparer and didn't really get copies of the original packet (like all the i864 co sponsor etc) like that was so stupid of me. So what original forms? Like the notice of actions? Thanks

Hi I am so grateful for this site. StRting to get nervous for long awaited AOS interview. Not about anything except documentation. We sent in our I864 back in May with everything u needed to, I didn't get RFE or anything. But now that it's coming closer to interview I feel worried. I used a co sponsor as I'm a student. But I sent everything in so I'm praying I don't have to bring any more info. Let me stop rambling lol, my question is...

Do I need my (I'm US citizen) birth certificate for interview?

Since I have submitted all my original i864 documents when I sent the package in, is there anything else I need to bring regarding income etc, or will those from my co sponsor still be the papers I need?

Is there a list of anything I need for AOS interview?

Thank uuuuuu

I rescheduled my August 11th appt for my husbands AOS. I had plane tickets bought to be out of country. I received an email back about 10 days b4 interview saying request to reschedule granted. Fast fwd. to October...they send an abandonment of interview that he was permanently denied unless we could find fault with uscis and appeal within 30 days of the date on letter (by time we got the letter it was 20 days) . Had to make infopass appt for the only open time slot in that 30 day window. Brought copies of email correspondence with the approval to reschedule. They had no record of it, from what we were told, had a nice lady who went the extra mile and spoke to her supervisor. She wasn't sure but she felt good about it since we had email proof. Had to appeal to reopen case. Spent another month biting our nails waiting. By end of November we received notice that they agreed to reopen case and we will be notified the interview date. It's February no interview notice yet. Moral of story SKIP THE TRIP!!!! trust me I understand how difficult that must be but it's really really risky to skip. Good luck

Hello, how can I get back my husbands birth certificate from his point of entry at JFK? He did not have a copy of it, we did not know this, so they kept his original birth certificate! Does anyone know how we could possibly request this back?

Follow up. Found email from end of July from uscis stating we were allowed to reschedule that they would send us a new date!!!! So the paper mail WAS a figment of imagination. But the email was not! Made appt for infopass for next week. Hoping we don't have too much trouble getting our new AOS date. Or wonder if we will have to appeal,? Anyways big relief so far!

Feeling so stupid! I requested to have my AOS interview August 11 postponed because I had already purchased tickets overseas in June for the date then a month b4 the date, they send interview date for the week of my trip. I got a letter from local uscis approving the interview reschedule so I said fine went on trip.

Now ff to October and we just got a letter from uscis that we are denied I-485 due to abandonment. To make things worse, we just spent the last 4 hours searching my house for the supposed letter now I'm psyching myself out because I'm like "are we imagining this reschedule approval?" I know we can't be but why can't we find the letter?! We are getting along great and planning a bright future. Our baby has two loving parents. I can't move to his home country in west Africa due to many reasons, especially im in med school. My husband (the beneficiary) is crying on the couch about what would happen if he can't see me and the baby anymore. Our whole world seems crushed. And this sucks because it's midterms next week (I know this seems minor but I'm finding it impossible to focus). Please someone give us hope!!!!! Please tell me he won't get deported! Please give us some advice!

He is here on K1 visa, arrived in March, married in April, and sent 485 in May.

I did put in the request, nervously. I can't reschedule my international trip, as its for a school interview. Waiting to hear back from uscis It's been less than a week . I wish I would have thought about this months ago before I made the plans overseas

Hi there thanks for an advance for your responses.

I was wondering about the adjustment of status interview I just got informed it's scheduled for August 11 but I , the U.S. Citizen &the petitioner, will not be in the United States for that week. It's too expensive to change the tickets for me. So I'm wondering if I call and have them put in a service request to reschedule what are the consequences what does not having an AOS mean? And is having bought tickets to out of the country A legitimate excuse for rescheduling?

Ok we ended up at Chester country per the great advice above! We got our license with just the passport. Philadelphia needed the birth certificate so I'm so glad I got this stellar advice!

No

we have a photocopy in Africa that could be faxed, but I'm sure he needs original

Sucks I wish I would have known all this

I was hoping it was different county by county and that Chester would be more lenient than philadelphia abs I could just drove there.

Will be sad to call off wedding my parents are very involved in the process they are going to be sad too. Geez, hope this doesn't affect his AOS

So I live in Philadelphia . It says here if u don't have Social security number then he need a birth certificate. Chester county doesn't specify that.

And to the other question he said at his interview in Senegal he gave his certificate original, unaware that it wouldn't be returned.

Hi thank you all so much for the helpful information.

Darnell...I saw the link you gave me for Chester county and I don't see that it asked for a birth certificate anywhere on there.do you think that I could just get a marriage license in Chester County with a passport only from him?

.I'm asking because our wedding is supposed to be April 6 I did not realize he was supposed to give his photocopy at point of of entry.I really appreciate your help thanks!!

We dis not know of this, so when he handed jfk his Manila envelope at his POE it contained his original birth certificate!

I figured they would just mail it to us but now I tho k I have to fetch it. Hmmmm I see the link above to request original documents back. Is that the only way? How long does that take? Thanks

Hi! My fiancée arrived march 4th. We are now ready to marry, but he left his original birth certificate at POE in JFK! We need it to get marriage license! Any advice???

He got it! They must have said issued after he physically picked it up at embassy!

Ok I'm just freaking out because I just found out about that website! My fiancé has plane ticket to leave in AM stupid I now realize!

Update: I just checked the website again it said issued!!!! Does that mean he likely has it in hand?

He doesn't have phone on him due to embassy rules and the Suspense is killing me!!!

I'm so confused my fiancé had his interview on February 25 and they seemed like everything went well.they gave him a green receipt and told him to come back today they kept his passport etc. I just discovered from searching around while I wait for him to return from the embassy and call me that there is a website CEAC so I put in his case number and it said administrative processing February 26 what does this mean??? is there A possibility that they will not recieve his visa today or do you think that's just something that it just says?

What is i94

Hi my fiancé is scheduled to arrive this Wednesday morning from west Africa, I am wondering if there is any forms to fill out on plane? Like how we have customs forms? The only thing he traveling with is a pair of jeans, and some photos and also about ten yards of African fabric I asked him to bring me (each yard is a different color and they cost about 3.00 each) and a dashiki for me and the baby and himself. Is that something he would have to claim? How can I give that advice? His first time flying

He does not yet have visa to visit the uk but my family wants to apply for him with invitation letter as soon as possible.

Ok great advanced parole. I never heard of it so that's great advice. What is EAD?

It seems on all the reviews there is a separate room for K1 at jfk. Since he never flew b4 I suggested "when the plane lands follow the crowd of people to a big room for customs, there will be a long line (especially because from past experiences, most of the travelers on flights from west Africa are not U.S. citizens) in the visitors line, so when u enter that room instead of jumping in that line ask an officer where you should bring the envelope" after immigration you should find someone to help direct you to your connecting flight as soon as possible"

Does that sound clear enough?

Hi! My fiancé is set to arrive in a few days I'm so excited! But am wondering if he can travel to UK this summer with me and our baby?

If we get married in March/April and start the AOS process will he be able to travel to UK (obviously of UK allows) and then re enter the usa? Thank u!

Yeah in starting to question my decision for having him go thru jfk to Philly. We both just thought it was best because although I nace that drive 1,000 times to nyc it's due to arrive at 5:30 am and I have a newborn baby he hasn't met her yet either and 5:30 am in airport seems cruel to drag the baby out in the cold and take that trip with all the trucks on the turnpike at night. Whereas when it arrives in philly it's 9:30 am and my extended family will join me.

The concern is that the layover is 2 hours and 57 minutes and it's a west African flight so will be lotssss of non citizens.

From what I have gathered, jfk seems to have some other room for K1 holders, so may I suggest to him to follow the crowd towards customs, but not to jump in line with everyone else, to instead ask immigration officer where he should take the envelope to??
