Hi Sandranj

I have only 5 days left for my interview

I realized my date of birth was wrong on my I485 submitted what can i do in this case? can the Officer accept me to make a correction at the moment of Interview?

I am so worried, 

Please advice me this my last step.

Thank you all

They will correct it at the interview because you have to show them your original birth certificate. They will also instruct you that during the interview any corrections you should let them know. Hope it helps.

Not yet i am worried . Status says “your new card is being produced we will mail to your address “ 

Keep holding on your that close. Reason I asked was my status changed within 2 hours of leaving the interview to “your new card is being produced” and yesterday it changed again to “case was approved”.  I didn’t see you post saying it changed to being Approval so I was wondering just a bit. You will get your Green Card thou.

Hello everyone ...is anyone from nyc here who got a interview date? My case was submitted April 2017 

Approved december 2018 got a medical reminder and every week an email saying no update on my case. Am not aure how to check the processing times if i am to check from submitted or from approved ...Thanks in advamce 

Hey Nicola your back. Ok follow this instruction. Go on this page https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/. Click on form and go to I-485. Next click field office and click NYC. Click processing time then scroll all the way down to where you see ESTIMATE TIME RANGE, FORM TYPE AND RECEIPT DATE FOR ENQUIRY. Yours should say November 22, 2016 for family based which means they are processing files which were submitted on November 22, 2016. When I did it in the past when I received courtesy letter, it changed to April 2017 which was when I submitted my case file and within a week I received interview Notice. Hopes this help.

Oh I was talking that paper. Because it had clear instructions on it whereas it tells exactly how to enquire about your case if you don’t get a response. That person said they have been waiting 6 months now and I think according to the paper they should inquire after 180 days.

Hey @sandranj any update on ur other cases if they have their GC approved after i485 interview. I am waiting since 6 months now

Hey! How are you all?

I have a quick question : I am doing my Medical on Saturday, what do I need to bro g besides my I693 form and DL and EAD and SS# Card?

i just want to have all in order, thank you in advance.

If you have your immunization card bring it or anything to prove you got TDAP, MMR and VARICELLA shots. USCIS requires those 3. If not your gonna pay for those shots plus the medical fee. They provided the I-693 and your EAD is sufficient. All they need is your Alien Number which is on the EAD and valid ID. Remember to drink lots of fluid the day before and on the morning of the exam. You wanna be well hydrated.

Now I feel better. Yesterday I was down when I left the interview and within 2 hours I saw card is being produced. Still had doubts cuz I see people get Card is being produced for months. But this message that case is approved is the best thing yet for me.

Good to know this from someone who has witnessed it. Also I've always suspected our files are of course duplicated..as in they have electronic and paper versions. Guess that's why you can get successive updates about files being moved from NBC to local office same day or in a space of two days LOL😂😂 it didn't fly..it has to be electronically transferred! Anyway..now we know..thanks again for the info! They all have jurisdiction over both cases but officially they would rather have us believe otherwise! Cool 😎

True because the way how she was marking that I-485 paper and making corrections and notes as she asked the questions there is no way she was gonna put it back in the folder. I mean she literally marked up all the pages as she tick off responses and also makes notes on it as well. So I know as she made corrections and notes on the physical I-485, she input it in the computer.

@Trizzle congrats! 

I thought when our VAWA cases are adjudicated and approved the nitty gritty details of our cases remains at VSC. 

How do the interviewing officers at the local offices get hold of our VAWA files?

weird though.

Thank you and that information is sorta false. They have the entire files in a big dark brown folder but the I-485 is on top. Plus I think our files are in the system cuz she was asking me questions from the I-485 and was using the computer at the same time 

4 minutes ago, Stillwinning!!!😊 said:

Did you go with any attorney? Most times when you go with an attorney who knows what he or she is doing, the IO tries to "behave" as in not ask you what they have no business asking..vawa was completed at vermont..why bring it to the local office? Is there like a carry/spill over? They are supposed to just focus on the file their office has jurisdiction over..which is i485!😏

My attorney said he “couldn’t make it”. Actually my attorney is not an attorney. His assistant  knows more than him. It’s sad but it’s true.

Thank you

Also please i need advice from anybody

Which forms the officer will ask me questions on? I need to refresh my memorie God bless you

Thank you

I would advice you to read over your affadavit again cuz although they aren’t suppose to do it the officer asked me a few brain teaser of things that I wrote in my affadavit. It wasn’t a lot but just some questions and I think it was fair enough questions.

Thank you

I did interview this morning and they ask every question on the I-485. They also ask for proof you had a relationship with your wife/husband like bank accounts, lease agreements, divorce decrees etc. Bring originals and copies of documents you submitted like marriage certificate, birth certificate etc. cuz I had to give her a copy of my marriage certificate which wasn’t on the file.

Yes, you must have original packet you submitted “just in case” but not necessary, usually I hear very rare they ask you you for a document. When do you have the interview? Your lawyer should have that packet, just ask for a copy. 

Thank you! I am so thrilled about my I131/AP 

I got a copy of the entire file today except a few documents like original interview Notice, I-94 and an original certificate which I assume they sent. But In the file there was a copy of the interview Notice which @kleenex said was ok to bring
