Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight. I am just starting out in this process, I will be attending my biometrics appointment next week, and I am wondering what the likelihood is of me being asked to attend an interview? Husband and I are still happily married, have since had a baby since first green card and have travelled a lot together, have sent lots of pictures, plane tickets, birth records etc for evidence.

Reason I am asking is, I want to plan a trip to visit my family in the UK in the fall and don't want to be called for an interview in that time! I was just wondering how many of you have been asked for interview, is it more common than not?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, just received my EAD/AP card in the mail yesterday, I also accepted a job offer yesterday. Does my card come with a Tax ID Number? or do I need to go to the Social Security office to get a SSN?

Hey everyone, I am a Nov 1st filler! Received an interview notice in the mail a couple of days ago for March 6th, but not heard a thing about my EAD/AP card. Starting to think I may receive my GC before the combo card! Has anyone else has this happen?

congratulations! The more I read about people's cases the more blatant it is that  (as another poster sort of put it) there really is no predicting anything with uscis. Expect the unexpected I guess!  I would have never guessed they would set interviews before they give a work permit!!

I know there is no rhyme or reason with the way they process cases, its very frustrating!

Hey everyone, quick update, just got my notice for interview, March 6th, but no EAD/AP yet, that must mean its not far behind right?

I filed on Nov 1st, it was received on Nov 6th, I have heard nothing since, no RFE's, case tracker still says 'case was received'. I tried to call them and they said they were working on August cases still and that I couldn't lodge a case enquiry because it hasn't reached the 90 day time frame. Keep checking the mail every day in hope that something will come!

You’re welcome! I called ‭1 (800) 375-5283‬ and pressed 2 once they started the prompt after selecting English language. They said I would receive a response within 15-30 days but I got a text today with my card being produced! 

Thank you very much!

I called earlier today and I got text saying my card is being produced a few minutes ago! If it has been past the 75 day mark, you should give them a call!! 

Which number did you call? I filled on November 1st, still heard nothing! Thanks for the advice!

Other than calling USCIS directly and asking them to look up your case no. Sometimes they update the tracker, sometimes they don't and people receive a notification in the mail without the tracker ever being updated. 

Thank you very much! hope  we get ours soon!

Yep, that’s where I looked

Is this just the USCIS case tracker? or is it something different? Thanks

Is there a different way of tracking your case other than typing your original receipt number into the USCIS tracker? Because that had not changed for months. Thanks in advance!!!!

Hey Y'all!!!!!

We submitted our AOS November 1st

Got a text message confirmation on November 15th

And the waiting begins......

Praying we did everything correctly!

If I remember correctly I read somewhere that we should be getting a biometrics appointment within 30 days? I am right with this? is the the NOA1?

Thanks everyone, fasten your seatbelts, we are in for a wild ride together!

Thank you everyone!

Hi everyone,

Ive been scouting around and trying to do research for days and fill in the paperwork for the AOS packet. What I have gathered is that there used to be no charge for i-131 and i-765 when filing with AOS packet. However now on the instructions for the i-131 it says ;

Thanks for the info. I'm doing cosponsor as well so wanted to get the info. London aren't too strict on it from what I have heard. And wasn't sure if it had to pen signed or pc signed if that makes sense. Thank you 

Yeah I don't think they are, they didn't have any qualms when i didn't provide the tax return they asked for. Yeah ours was pen signed, but a photocopy!

I finally got through to someone today.  They had really messed up the spelling of the email address and even my fiance's name.  Finally got it all corrected and got the email.  Thanks everyone!

How long did they say it would take you to get the passport back? Any other tips? My interview is tomorrow  

Thank you!!!! The screen in the waiting room said 17 working days, the man at the window said up to 2 weeks! When i got a non immigrant visa i got my passport back within 2 days, so i'm hoping its soon! Make sure you take water/food and something to do you may be there a while! Don't be nervous, they are all very nice and congratulated me on my engagement and were quite chatty! Good Luck!

Congrats! I have a question regarding the i134 form. What evidence did you take with the form? And does the form have to have wet signature or can it be signed on the computer and then emailed and printed out? 

Thank you! My fiancé put together the packet and mailed it over, it was a copied signature not a wet one. We had letters of employment, a letter from the bank, pay stubs and bank statements. I gave them the whole thing and he flicked through it and gave me loads of things back saying he didn't need it all. I don't think they take it took seriously they just want to check the income is correct and have a job etc because they know the next step AOS requires a lot more evidence in the packet regarding income. Good Luck!
