It looks like its the Mailing Address that needs to be changed! 😅

Here's the scenario:

Address 1 is my sister's house that I used as the "Mailing Address" on Form I-751 ROC.

Address 2 is me and my husbands (old) "Physical Address" that we put on Form I-751 ROC.

Reason why I used Address 1 as the mailing address was because we were really close to moving out that we didn't have an exact (new) Physical Address to provide.

Anyway, my new address will now be both our "Mailing Address and Physical Address".

When submitting an Address Change to USCIS, which one should we change it from, would the Mailing address be considered the old address or the Physical address that was used on the I-751? I want to make sure we receive any form of letters, receipts, notices to my new address. I just don't know which address should we consider as "old address". Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For those who have received their NOA/ extension letters, what are the next steps? We received ours in the mail and check has been cashed in, but no email/text notifications.

Hopping on the November train!

Preparing my husbands ROC to get the 10 year GC! Anyone mind sharing their list they included in the packet to help guide me?

I did his k1, AOS+EP, Green card application on our own as well and it's been a good while since I've been processing immigration docs again. Thanks in advance! 😅

Update: we received his green card in the mailbox 5 days after his interview! sf location.

Okay thanks! I just got carried away with this update on the USCIS website:

https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-begin-using-more-secure-mail-delivery-service

Has anyone received their GC in the mail without a signature required? I had ours sent to my sisters permanent address since we are kind of inbetween addresses and my current address has the same number as our neighbors (townhouse) sometimes it doesnt get delivered here right so I chose my sisters place but they might not be home due to work. How did y’all receive your cards? Thanks!

Finally August filers! My husband and I had his interview yesterday at SF location. Our time was 1:20pm but we got in around 12:44pm and got called 5mins later. Took us about 15mins and got approved on the spot.case update status new card being produced this morning 6:20am.

Tips: be extra with papers. She was excited that I brought more than what was needed and she liked that we had options of what documents to provide. Anything that shows new address, proof of bonafide marriage like house lease, life insurance. She was even surprised I gave her a Report of Marriage from the Philippines. 

Becareful not to talk too much. I got overly excited and I think she may have misunderstood  some things but its okay.

odd thing: He didn’t get a temporary stamp and we were told 2 years conditional starts when we receive the greencard, not from the time we were married. Thoughts?

We finished our interview! Got there around 12:45pm and called us in around 15mins. Our time is 1:20pm. I brought way too many documents than I thought I needed. But it went well and she told us we should expect it in the mail in a few weeks.

These are the new ones for the evidence of bona fide marriage like gym memberships, car lease, phone bills under my new name. Things like that. I am bringing the exact copy of the 485 as well as the k1 application just incase and also the ead/ap application because I'm that paranoid. lol SF office.

Would it be okay to highlight names on supporting documents to bring in for the interview? I just want to make it easier for the IO to review them rather than spending so much time reading these docs.

Not sure what you mean but the interview was in a pretty spacious private office  there was one office desk and we sat on one side and the interviewer was on the other side  kind of felt like a doctors visit 

Ohh okay perfect! I was imagining it to be like those us embassy interviews where its a “window” type of divider where hard binders can’t slip through. Thank you!!

Here i posted couple days ago about the interview but here you go. It was very easy interview. Hardest part was going to san Francisco from east bay due to the traffic

 

we got there 10 minutes before the interview time due to a heavy traffic towards San Francisco but it was ok as we were called about 40 minutes after our appointment time. 

Interview was very fast about 15 minutes. Some of the questions were:  When where and how did you meet?  Are we going to have kids? my name and parents names. and if my parents met my husband and lastly the have you ever done questions.  The agent asked if we have our 2017 tax returns and we provided it as well as the 2018 w-2 and 1099s.   That was it!  before leaving he told us that we should be getting the green card in 30 days but realistically in about 2 weeks, but could not tell us that we were approved or not.  

Thanks for sharing!! I have another question, do you know if there are windows or is it wide open? The reason I am asking is because I am thinking of preparing a big binder for the copy of the initial Adjustment of Status application that involves the affidavit of support, ead application etc. Just want to make sure if this fits in the hole they may have at their interview stations. Thanks!

Congrats!! What was  the interview experience like in the SF office? We just received our interview date so we are getting ready.

Well time to prepare I will do taxes from 2017, 2018,bring bills in both of our names, pictures, joining bank account, I won't bring health insurance cards we dont have it, thank God we are both healthy, no kids but one stepson. 12 years married. What about you? How are you preparing?

Been together for almost 14 years and married for almost 2 years. I will be bringing a lot of photos, health dental insurance, life insurance, bank statements, approved fiance visa application, updated affidavit of support docs just in case. He doesn't really have bills because he has no credit to start of with and he was having a hard time when applying for credit cards due to "lack of permanent residency" or what not.  Which frustrates us a lot. Marriage photos and cards. His work documents because I'm just extra haha. All originals and photocopies, Marriage certificate and such.

Seems like a few folks interview has been scheduled for 2/25. If you know a few resources of what else to bring for the interview along with Q+A's please let me know.

2018 tax return as well?

I would say yes, if your co-sponsor has received and filed already. Like for me, since our interview is on 2/25. I'm the petitioner, I will bring my most recent w2 forms and previous tax return files but I have yet to file my tax returns for 2018 since I am still waiting on other documents to arrive. Let me know if that makes sense.

I received our interview notice as well for 2/25. I would say since you have a co-sponsor, it is best to have them retrieve updated bank statements, proof of income all that jazz to inform the IO that they are very well equipped for you (If they ask for it). I always think its best to bring more documents rather than not enough.

Let’s see when we get it. What is your FO?

Agreed. San Francisco

Same here! Updated on jan 18 but received the email yesterday.

I called in due to our EAD renewal was out of processing time and the next day, we received this notice. Waiting for the letter to know when the schedule is! Almost 2 years of waiting!

Does anyone have an example of the structure of the email that they used to send out to their senator about a case? This would be really helpful. I also found that my husbands EAD renewal is out of normal processing time.

Update (for California) from my lawyer - they're seeing interviews being scheduled now for their clients who filed in May / June 2017. The time is slowly ticking towards us filers in August / September 2017... 

 

Keep the faith! Good thoughts and wishes to us all. 

I see that you are in the San Francisco location as well! Following! Please don't forget to tag me when you hear something!

I'm a little lost at this point by knowing where or who to contact. Do you all have a number or an email of whom we can reach out to?
