I went in yesterday (Friday) afternoon. The place was nearly empty, didn't ask any questions on why I was early and I didn't have to wait at all - was in and out in 7 minutes. Thanks.

Excellent! It's nice to get that out of the way early

I have my Biometrics (for N400) at Ft. Worth on 03/19, that week is spring break for the kids and we had planned a trip.  So, planning to walkin sometime next week.

Can you tell me the day of the week and how early (time) your walkin was? Will try to replicate your experience 😄

Thanks.

We went on a Wednesday, arrived around 11-11:30am. Hopefully they won't make you wait, as long as they're not busy they should take you

Ft. Worth, Texas. 2/12/20 early walk in, was accepted (original appointment for 2/24/20). There was only one other person waiting. The agent did manage to say "usually we only do walk-ins in the afternoon, but we're not busy, so we'll take you". This was for I-90, initial green card has the wrong "resident since" date. 

So, my hubby got his green card delivered on Saturday, yay! But, it has the wrong "resident since" date on it 😠 It has his PD listed, instead of the date of our interview/approval. Now to submit yet another firm to fix their error. Annoying, but still thankful!

Please how long did the entire process take? I mean how long from when you got to the building till when you left the building?

Appointment time was 12:05, arrived at 11:45. Was out the door right before 1pm.

Same concern here. I am confused. Do I need to provide new medical report? I only submitted the vaccination record DS-3025 during AOS application. My interview is on Feb. 19, 2020. I did my medical last year for K1 Visa Feb.15, 2019. It will be expired by the time of my interview. Is there gonna be a problem? 

You should be good to go, since your AOS was submitted within a year of the time of the medical. We offered a copy of the DS-3025, but she said she had a copy in the packet, and didn't need it.

Is the location of the interview in Irving? That's the Dallas office according to USCIS and the address. At any rate your interview is less  than a year that's a good thing.

Wow awesome. Congrats.

 

Did she ask you guys for Medical Report (i-693)? Or did you guys submit the Medical Report (i-693) in the original Adjustment of Status Application?

Yep, it's the office in Irving. 

She asked about the medical, but I told her that he had his medical done during the K-1 process. She looked through the packet, and saw it, so she said that was fine since it was less than a year old at the time of submission. 

Hello all, 

Filed for AOS/AP/EAD 4/21/19. On 12/11/19, got our notice of interview scheduled for 1/15/20 in Dallas. We were approved! Interviewer was super nice and professional. She verified the personal info on the 485, then asked all of the yes/no questions. She looked at our pictures and asked me to pick 5 for her to keep, and said "it's already approved, but if you want, you can give proofs of relationship". We gave copies of joint car/health insurance, and copies of my 401k showing my husband as beneficiary. Two hours later, case status changed to "we've ordered your new card". We had made copies of his passport, SS card, driver's license, and EAD/AP, and she seemed to really appreciate that. It honestly was a very pleasant experience!

Hopefully  you'll be alright. I'm pulling for you! This gives other Dallas folks  a measure of hope that the interviews will come in less than a year!

True! I'll keep y'all posted. He's on my car and health insurance, and is beneficiary on life insurance, so I think that should be good

Yep, it's the Irving office. I was a bit shocked that it was so quick, since it has been going so slow for so long! Hopefully we have enough evidence. My hubby has EAD, but doesn't work yet. We don't have joint bank accounts yet, only joint credit cards. We shall see! 

Hello all, 

Filed for AOS on 4/21/19, just got interview notice this morning for 1/15/20! Now to start on the checklist, and make sure everything is in order! (EAD/AP received in September)

Finally a good update - EAD/AP combo card in hand 9/30/19, PD 4/23/19. Since I'm using the Dallas office, this will be the only thing that happened fairly quickly

That's weird. Mine went from new card being produced to case was approved a day after.

Mine too! Doesn't show a card issued for AP, only EAD..

Ahh okay. What documents did you take for residency proof? We are just now moving to our own apartment so he will have a lease in his name and my car insurance has his name also as a non driver, but they are all less than 3 months.

We used the car insurance, the envelope that his SS card arrived in, and the envelope that the NOA1 arrived in. Since those are sent by government agencies, they are accepted, (for Texas) and they are post marked with the date they were mailed. These showed residency for the last 90 days.

What office did you visit? I'm beginning to think either the San Antonio one is stricter than others or this lady just didn't know what she was doing.

We went to the DPS office in Denton, TX, where we live. The wait time is insane, but we were at least able to get it done. He's going to do the road test at a private school.

I assumed as much. The only people I have seen that have had luck with getting a license in Texas were still current on their I-94. Is your learner's permit expiration date tied to your I-94 expiration date? For us, the DPS lady said he could get one but it would expire when his I94 expires.

My husband got his learner's permit, all we had to do was bring in the NOA1 for AOS, the I-94, SS card, and two documents showing TX residency. He took the written test and passed, and it expires in one year. The NOA1 would show lawful presence. His I-94 was expired at the time of the application, and there was no issue.

Hi everyone! I'm a K-1 Visa applicant (beneficiary) and I went to get my physical exam on friday. At the doctor's office they gave me a sealed packet and a separate sheet: the DS-3025 (Vaccination Doc Worksheet). When I was reading it I noticed that on the "Vaccination Documentation" section there are two options: (1) "Immigrant Visa or Parolee applicant completed vaccination requirements" and (2) "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements".  The doctor checked #1, and I think he should have checked #2, since Im a K-1 applicant and the K-1 is a Nonimmigrant Visa. Im worried this is going to give me issues at the interview or at the port of entry. What do you guys think? Did your doctor also checked the #1 option? Thank you. 

The same thing happened for my now hubby's form, box 1 was checked. There were no issues at the interview or port of entry. We sent the AOS packet in April, and I'm hoping that everything is OK. At least all the shots are done, so hopefully that little box won't make much of a difference.

It's awesome that they let you do it. Sometimes, they wont depending on when you go. Seems you got lucky there!

I was pretty happy about that.. I mean, worst they could have said was no 😁

Wow cool! So another waiting game for that..

 

hope to receive mine asap and have the appointment this month

You should get it soon. Our appointment was for May 16th, but we did a walk in on the 6th, and they let us in. So that part is out of the way! Status changed this morning to "ready to schedule interview"!

How long did it take you guys to receive biometrics appointment letter after receiving your NOA's?

We got the biometrics letter about a week after receiving NOA1. 

I know this is an older thread, but here's my recent experience:

I-129F was approved 8/22/18 - OLD site.

NEW site, still shows "we have received your case....". 

My fiance, now husband, has been here since December 2018! 

I-485 received 4/29/19 - OLD site recently changed form "we received your case", updated today to  "Interview ready to be scheduled"

NEW site? "We have received your case..."

So, strangely for us, it's only the OLD site (and mobile app) that shows any updates for us. Weird! 

Texas - Fort Worth ASC. 5/6/19 - appointment was for 5/16/19. Successful. Arrived at 10am, but had to wait until noon to get our number, so they could accommodate appointments first. Security guard didn't give us a hard time.

IMO your DS3025 is not filled correctly for the mere fact they didnt check the K1 Voluntarily completed box and instead checked the immigrant yada yada box. 

It's up to you though. I'd submit it anyways and play dumb. Perhaps your IO will be dumb too and wave you through. If not all you'll need to do is complete the I693 afterwards to get approved. Slight delay or $1K in the toilet for no reason? Your call.

Dang, I just looked at a the copy of our I485 package, and noticed that the doctor did the same thing - checked the "immigrant..." box. I'm gonna go with playing dumb on this one

Hello all!

Sent I-485, I-131, and I-765 to the lockbox on 4/18 via FedEx. Signed for on 4/19, received 3 texts on 4/22, showing all as received. Hard copy NOA for all three on 4/27. 

Good luck everyone!
