seriously i don’t think they need anything urgent except ur interview notice and Medicals, they have everything in file . I went with everything and they didn’t even look at them except for the interview reciept, Medicals, EAD, Passports which was expired and my drivers license. so you will be alright don’t worry much! Wish you best of luck!

Thank you for the response. My legal aid sent a copy of everything in my file except the original interview Notice “but sent a copy”, they submitted an original certificate I gave them in April 2017 plus the I-94 “which I can re download”.  Apart from those I got everything else. 

On the interview Notice it says to bring original documents of what was submitted in the petition. What if you had submitted the originals by accident and didn’t receive them back from USCIS, is it ok to go to the interview without them???

Hello everyone. My journey started on dec 21st 2016 and ended yesterday on March 7th 2019 with my green card interview.

This was a very easy and fast interview for me. My appointment was at 9am and i did not wait at all. I was extremely nervous but the lady officer was one of the most compassionate and understanding human being i have met on my vawa. 

She made me took the oath, asked me for some paperwork ( updated physical, EAD, passport, SS, DL, I94), asked me the yes/no questions on the i485 form then asked me where i wanted my green card sent to. The only personal questions i had were about why im still living with the abuse spouse and some talk about my family and my son. My advice on that is just to be honest and speak with your heart. She finished by telling me how long it usually takes for the green card to get in the mail and we chatted about the weather for about 5 min and that was it. It lasted for barely 30 min. 1 hour later i got an update that my card was being produced. 

I think it will start to sink in when i see it in the mail but this message is to give hope to all of you. This was an almost 3 year journey for me from rhe moment i met mt lawyer for the first time ans like all of you it can get very depressing. Believe in yourself and in your story and what happened to you is valid. I wish you all a great night.

Congratulations

Thanks a lot for your help .

 

I Don't think when I started work at my job I filled up I 9 application .. Only I filled up other application was just regular application asking some information such as SSN ,address , Date of birthday , Name .

They only saw My EAD is valid or not .

I Never used Any thing Fake .

My EAD valid too .

I filled my tax Every year since I received my EAD and SSN and I have all my W2 until now and it shows my name and my SSN and other information everything is correct .

 

Is that Going to be problem for 485 interview ?

 

please I appreciate your help and advise.

 

 

If it bothers you I would go to your employer and let them fill it out and send it to the necessary authorities to be on the safe side cuz as you may have read in the forum someone had theirs pull during AOS interview and got denied because of misrepresentation.

Thank you for this information .

I really try to understand something .

There's some people didn't fill up this form when they get the job but and still have SSN and Valid EAD and they work for check and filling tax every year .

Is there any problems with USCIS when you don't fill up this application i9 when you get job ?

This application is important for USCIS or your job ?

Thanks .

 

In all honesty I’m gonna try answer in my opinion. In the eyes of Homeland Security people have and is using FAKE SSN and EAD to work. When you apply for a job and submit your I-9, it goes directly to them to verify you have their authorization to work plus theirs the liability as well for some people to get in trouble in the long run if they falsifily get jobs and also the employers. So in my opinion I think it’s important for USCIS, Homeland Security and your job.

@Trizzle Hello!!! You are absolutely correct!!! For the past few years, most employers now use E-Verify to verify the applicant's eligibility to work in the U.S, there's no way around it, especially with the current administration, filling out an I-9 is a must!! The reason many employers now comply with it is to avoid getting themselves in trouble, and one cannot blame them. I just wish there was a way that the system would ensure that people receive their EADs in a timely fashion so they can work, because I believe that the more people who work and pay taxes, the better the economy will get, at least in my opinion 🙂

That is so true. I’m not gonna bash the person who got their AOS denied but I think they made a honest mistake and tick the wrong box “maybe they didn’t understand at the time that they weren’t a permanent resident”. But it’s in past, it’s just to find a way to defeat this obstacle infront of them right now. I hope and pray that she overcomes it.

I See some people working at stores when they get the job they only gave them the social security with other information such as address , date of birth , phone number , and they ask if they have independence or not that it and Some they ask for work permit just to see it is valid without getting any information from this card or anything without getting Even a copy for EAD Card .. They only care about the social security number . And they write this information on peace of paper and they gave it to accounting to get the check every week with W2 .

They don't gave any application to fill up or anything like that .

As long the person working with check and having w2 and filling tax he/she is Good .

I don't understand . what is the problem?

What Does mean the officer pull I 9 ?

When they pull I 9 at the interview ?

 

Can you please explain with more details about this subject .

 

 

 

 

I’m going to say something off (“MY EXPERIENCE” because some people here are so sensitive when you experience something different as if they are the ones experienced it). When I applied for a job that I’m currently doing, I didn’t have my SSN when I did but I submitted my work permit and I had to fill out and sign that I-9 form you guys are talking about.  Before I could get the job, the employer had to send it to Homeland Security for verification before I get the job. Also when I applied for SSN they send information to Homeland Security as well.

C09 EAD is while your I485 is pending. C31 EAD is given when the I360 gets approved. I just don’t want people to be confused by your post about C14.

 

it’s  the first time I heard someone recommending  other people to renew their EAD under c14 in order to get deferred action. @sandranj

 

I didn’t recommend anyone to renew EAD under C14. Don’t get it twisted. @FridayGirl@69 Asked why the 2nd EAD and I told her it will most likely be EAD C14 “as I had received 1 right after my EAD C31”,  cuz she already received EAD C31 when her I-360 was approved in October 2018. 

1 hour ago, Goyo said:

The second EAD can be category C9, C 31 or C14. In most cases, people get deferred action when their I360 get approved. If you got your C9 which is your EAD before approval, after approval you can renew your EAD under category C9 or C31. The category don’t really matter.  At the end the most important thing is to get the I485 approved and done. 

When my I-360 was approved I got EAD C31 and 2 months after I received EAD C14. And I’m not arguing or anything but the category of EAD’s whether C31, C09 or C14 does matter.

Just a quick question/explanation needed it from anybody that my gut know:

I360 approved 10/29/2018

I got EAD on 11/6/2018

I765 approved 2/22/2019 confising

I am waiting for I485 to get process 

my field office is Chicago (13-33 months) 

How long average to get my medical and interview?

Why another EAD? 

How long before it expires should I request another EADextension if I don’t get my I485 adjudicated?

I will appreciate the advise, thank you much in advanced.

 

•  

I’m not sure about the medical and interview Notice but I know the 2nd EAD will be category C14 which has the deferred action status to it. Based on what I read you can apply for new EAD up to 180 days before current EAD expires. Most EAD automatically has a 180 days extension.

@victorycoming what country are you trying to request it from?

 

There is 2 ways you can do this depending on your country. 

 

1. You can have someone inside (family member or friend) the country go to the police headquarters and get one for you. Of course you'll have to mail them a signed notarized letter to act on your behalf

 

2. Locate your country consulate general website if they have one and follow the instructions proved. 

 

I used option 2 because I'm from Jamaica and there a consulate office in Miami that provided clear instructions on their website.

@Victorycoming  Hey I’m from Jamaica and I use the 1st option that Jonshai is talking about. You will need to get a fingerprint done “I did mine at the State Trooper Office for $5 a copy”, photocopied my passport page for ID purposes then your gonna write a note stating what you want the background check for including the USCIS office it’s suppose to go to.  Then your gonna get it notorized and send it to a family member or friend so they can get it for you. I assume some countries are different but that’s how I did mine. Hope it helps or give you an idea.

Hi everyone,

 

I attended my interview today everything went well. I did not take my lawyer to me.

 

The interview lasted about 10 minutes I was sworn in and finger printed then asked to confirm my name. My medical and passport was checked and I was asked some yes or no questions from the i485 form. She never mentioned the abuse, marriage etc. she did ask if I was divorced and took a copy of the divorce decree.

 

After the above she told me I was approved and my GC will be sent to my Lawyer’s office. Within 5 minutes I received an update that my card was being produced.

 

I am so elated that the process is over. I wish you all the very best...and thank you to everyone for your support.

Congratulations your troubles and long waiting is finally over. Enjoy your new chapter in your life. 👏👏👏👏

Not until a final decision is made on your adjustment of status which is I-485.

And since your I-485 was denied that was a final decision so therefore you can be placed in removal proceedings base on what I understand.
