I did an inquiry back in July as my SRC case (also transferred to NBC in Oct 2020) was outside processing time for Texas.  I got a quick response and it said I would hear within 90 days.  It is past that in calendar days but I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt that they meant business days.  That would push the 90 days into somewhere mid-November.  I may do another inquiry if I haven’t heard by then.

the reason for the transfer was to “speed up processing”.  Ironic huh?

Any SRC filers still waiting?  Anybody do a case inquiry?  My case was transferred to NBC to speed things up in October but still nothing.

I had read that you still use the original office date for inquiry and was wondering if anyone had tried that since being transferred.

Mine is keeping yours company.  It was transferred from SRC the same day.

Trying to be optimistic and patient 🤪

I think it may be your new card.  Dallas has been quick lately.  Did you check your case status?

My Green Card was approved without interview on 12/14 and I received it in the post on 12/21. Glad to be done with USCIS for a couple of years!

Did your case status update online at all?

Processing times were updated.

 

For Orlando, Florida it shows that as of 10/31/2017 they are working on 04/01/2017 for I-485 . grrrrrr

 

I have noticed more people getting an interview but not enough - they should be way past march filers by now. that was two months ago. 

Dallas has moved ahead only a few days in a monh.  Still working on November 2016.

I was thinking about sending in AP app  since  I didn't do it with the original applications. How exactly did you go about doing it? did you just write a letter explaining this is part of a previous submitted AOS application?  

I’d like to know too as I didn’t apply for EAD or AP with my AOS.  I need a valid form of US identification for my Texas driver’s license and they won’t accept my K1 visa (obviously expired) or my I-797-C.

If I can add these applications at no cost at this point it might be worth doing.   Been in “ready to schedule” an interview since May 23rd!

Received green card yesterday by regular mail.... 6 days after interview...

Out of curiosity did they use the picture taken at biometrics appointment for the card?

Lol, Visa Journey e-mailed me to ask me to update my Timeline.   Sorry gang, case active 208 days, last update was May 23.......still waiting on an interview date in Texas.  I did not request advance parole or employment authorization.  Anyone have an interview in Texas lately?

I saw that. For Sacramento they needed a whole month to go from November 3rd to November 24th... This is going to take forever it seems. 

Same thing in Dallas, went from 8th of September to the 24th.   Yikes!

Since June 7th, 2017 my case still says "ready to schedule for appointment".

Been the same for me since May 23rd.  No idea if my case has even reached the Dallas field office yet.

My case has been active 179 days.

Hey there, pretty quiet here since Thursday!

Can I get a shout out from anyone waiting for AOS interview in Dallas?

I have been in "ready" status since May 23rd!

@Arnel villarreal may i know what your timeline is?

 

Any March filers from Dallas? How's the waiting going? Any updates?

Me!   No news, still waiting on an interview since May 23rd.  I did not apply for EAD or AP though.

I got a status update "ready to schedule interview" yesterday morning.  I did not apply for advance parole or a work permit though, as I am retired and have no immediate plans to travel outside of the US.

Yeah, same situation in Texas. Can't get a state ID or driver's license without proof of legal status.

From what I have been able to read about Texas DL we can use our AOS NOA1 as proof of legal status.  I will be trying it soon and will let you know how it turns out.

Any Canadian March AOS filers out there?   How about anyone in Texas?

Had my biometrics in Dallas on April 11th.  Trying to just get on with my life and not check on things too much.  I gather patience is the key word here in Texas.

You booked an interview before getting the p4 thats why it was cancelled. Submit checkslist and ds-160 confirmation. Wait for p4. Then book interview. I-134 is fine if its downloaded directly from USCIS website; you bring it to interview. Sponsor and co-sponsor do the i-134. Spouse doesnt need to. They will, however, probably need an i-864a when you adjust status.

Thank you.....so I use the iv e-mail address to do that?

Hi, okay, think I got things out of order and this whole submitting a DS160 online differs from the Consulate Guide. Can anyone who has been through the Canadian process recently help me out?

This is what has happened to date:

Sept 7- Consulate rec'd, status ready, booked interview

Sept 7 - DS160 submitted online, confirmation printed

Sept 22 - Rec'd hard copy of approved I-129F and letter dated Sept 16, requesting proof of Canadian citizenship, replied immediately to IV e-mail address as website link provided in the letter would not open, followed up with the link on the 23rd (it worked that day)....no way to attach the information

Oct 11 - notification e-mail that interview had been cancelled, no reason given, status ready, rescheduled

Oct 13 - received official Packet 3 e-mail, it was attached to my e-mail containing the citizenship proof

So, I took a breather for a few days and am ready to go again, lol.

Questions:

1. Do I resubmit the DS160? If so, as originally filed?

2. Do I simply submit the checklist?

3. Do they require all pages of my passport?

4. Form I-134 is out of date, says February 29, 2016....are they still accepting these?

5. Co-sponsor and spouse file income tax together, do they both need to fill out a form?

6. Both have income so answer to dependant question should be partially correct?

I feel like I have made an entire mess of this! Please share what you can, I need help and encouragement!

I booked before I received Packet 3....it said ready so I submitted my DS160 and booked appt

Got an e-mail cancelling my interview. Is this because they finally recieved my citizenship proof? Status says ready to book interview, so I rebooked.....Nov 23rd

Getting paranoid here....lol

Just thought I'd share my experience yesterday in case it is of some help to others.

I have not been in the US in just over a year. My K1 process is at the interview stage, Oct 26th to be exact.

My fiance's daughter is getting married this weekend in Vegas. I was pretty optimistic that given how far along my application was that I would be allowed in for 4 days for this family event, It was not to be.

I was refused entry and was told that as an intended immigrant I was not allowed in at all until the visa was in hand.

This is a direct contradiction to what the officer escorting out to my car told me when I commented that I had read that visits were allowed. He said that they are but they are strongly discouraged, especially if you have no ties. I sold my house a year ago, my lease has reverted to month to month after a year and I am retired on disability. Despite having print outs of confirmations and receipts, including the interview date, I did not have enough proof to assure them of my return.

I knew the experience could go either way so I was not terribly distraught about being refused, what is irratating is that the information out there is confusing and conflicting.

still optimistic about my interview and at least I was treated with a little more respect than in the past. Although the officer who said he didn't understand what I meant about documentation of my visa process thus far seemed a blatant lie.

So, if all goes well at the interview the plan is to drive across with my fiance and dogs in my own vehicle......compliance letter in hand etc. My fiance's daughter and spouse will drive a Uhaul across with my belongings (professionally packed for the long haul to Texas).

What forms/inventory do I need to prepare for this adventure?

I'm starting to pack up non-essentials, do I inventory contents of each box in detail or are general descriptions (eg: books, small kitchen appliances etc) acceptable?

That is my understanding yes.

Thank you so much.....breathing a big sigh of relief!
