MMMMM ok got it thanks I called for an update on my case I'm still being requested for interview (well my wife ) and they told me can take a few weeks before I get a date so I'm hoping soon. I guess NYC office is jammed packed compared to other places send out date rite away . Crossing fingers for good news soon for me and everyone else.

 

Yea I called too a week or so ago and they told me the same thing. It's me and my husband that has to be present at the interview, we're a k1 visa. I hope the same for everyone else!

I did. That's how I knew a letter from USCIS was coming but I didn't know what it was about until I opened it.

Just received our notice for the interview!! It's on May 29th in NYC

Good morning everyone

 

                                                   Update Just got off the phone a little while ago with a tier 2 officer . I called in regarding the User-Defined error she did confirm to me that its an ongoing issue they are work on and that the lasts update on the case was that they were requesting my wife for interview. So happy for the news this morning also she put me on a brief hold while she double checked and told me yup they are requesting for an interview. No date yet confirmed hope to see mail this week.

Congrats!! Nice to hear someone in NY is getting an interview this soon. We're in Queens!

Hi guys, how do yall deal with this waiting? All I think about is going back home. I see my friends and family having fun, skiing, traveling, working...while I sit at home and waiting for my wife. I hate the fact this country stole time from my life and my dignity. Ive been reduced from a self sufficient working person to a charity case sitting home because there is so little to do around :-( Help me please, how do you fill your days so that I can find other things to think about instead of quickly packing all our stuff and never coming back here. I dont even care about the GC anymore, I just want the AP so my wife and I can wait elsewhere.

Hey BoredToDeath

Hang in there its tough especially the waiting game. This entire process is very frustrating but just keep focused. You can try volunteering that would get u out the house! I volunteer at the boys and girls club twice per week for a couple hrs, and I make the library my second home (I'm an avid reader) I try to fill the gaps with tv series but I must admit its not easy. I've gained almost 20lbs since I stopped working 😢 so now I'm getting bk into the habit of working out and trying to focus on that else I'm going to lose my mind. 

I agree with volunteering! It can be for causes, events or even festivals. 

The 90 days for EAD is from the Noa1 or the biometrics?

Walked in for biometrics appointment in Queens, New York this morning. It was only 20 mins and had actually forgotten my marriage certificate to show my name change but the manager still let do it!

I got the biometrics letter and the appointment is next week. I would love to go this week. Has anyone ever walked in in New York? Wouldn’t want to go for nothing.

It was a rejection notice. I already sent back the paperwork so I can only hope that everything was okay and we don't get a RFE this time...

I just got the 3 texts and emails for the acceptance :')

@nanaaalex wait, so did you get a Request for Evidence letter or a rejection notice? Because if it is a rejection, you have to resend the paperwork with the correct fees but if it is an RFE then you only have to resend what they asked for. This does not guarantee you won't get another RFE, though. I have seen some who got an RFE before the biometrics and another one after. If you did get a rejection, I suggest reviewing your paperwork carefully and ensuring everything is correct and complete to avoid getting an RFE, or worse, another rejection notice. Good luck!

Did you get a rejection notice or a request for evidence for your check? I'm asking because we got the rejection notice due to incorrect fees and after we sent the correct amount, we got the noa1.

Yes it was a rejection notice! 

Good to know, thank you!

We got a RFE for our check and we sent it right back last week but I'm a little scared because we only have a regular copy of our marriage certificate and they didn't mention anything about that.

Just wondering if that was the only thing that was wrong with the package and we're good to go or the chances of getting another RFE are still there?

Can anyone confirm that the fees are $1225 for the AOS, EAD, AP and biometric fees? Going to correct our bank 's check tomorrow morning.

We also wrote the check to '' U.S. Department of Homeland Security'' and they sent it back with a stamp right on top that says '' U.S. Department of Homeland Security  Citizenship and Immigration Services'' so which one is right?

Submitted the form for the text/email notifications and never got any. It was the wrong amount on the bank check so we got our RFE today for AP and I-485 for that. No news yet on the EAD.

Wow you started this process in 2015 and finally came last August.  I woulda gone crazy lol

Lol yes we definitely did go crazy but it's finally almost over!

Good luck! Just saw your signature and I think you got the year wrong? It says 2017

You're right haha!! About to change it and thank you, good luck to you too!

Trying to figure out which form to send....We were about to send out the AOS this month on our own until my husband lost his job. He is now doing media jobs that are not consistent enough yet for the needed income.

His dad accepted to co sponsor me but we also live with him. We figured doing the i-864a would be best but we are planning on moving out his place this Fall so we won't be part of that household pretty soon. Which one should we file?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

It asks my current immigration status in the 1-765 but my 90 days finished before Thanksgiving. Aren't I currently out of status or do I still put k1?

Thanks in advance!

Sooo the AOS still hasn't been sent lol. My husband went with H&R block (they are the ones that said it would take 10 business days) and they ended up ripping him off so he dealt with the IRS directly. He started going there weekly in December and they have made it difficult for him to get his tax return, till this day he still doesn't have it. He lost his job the first week of January and he hasn't found another one yet. 

His dad finally accepted to be the co sponsor. We gathered all of his info today but do we still need to gather my husband's tax documents? He has no history with the IRS. Can we just write a letter explaining the situation or wait who knows how long for the IRS to give back the 2016 and 2017 tax returns? (my medical expires in March)

Perfect I will wait then, thank you everyone!

Everything is printed, photocopied and signed but we are missing two things. My husband's proof of US citizenship since he lost his birth certificate and passport  but he should be able to pick a copy this week. He thought his old employer had done his 2016 taxes this whole time. (He doesn't have anything for 2014 and 2015) He got it done this week and was told it would take 10 business days.

My 90 days will be done in 2 weeks, can I send everything now or do we really need to wait for the US citizenship proof and transcript? The I-864 got accepted in Canada because we wrote a letter explaining our situation, can I do the same thing for the AOS?

Excellent write-up. But why mess with Lionel-Groulx and the metro? Bus 747 runs right past the consulate on Blvd René-Lévesque. If you're staying anywhere close to the consulate (I used the Mariott a block away), it's a lot easier to take the bus all the way.

I agree!
