You can leave with your green card + original notice and come back. Should be no problem

Thanks for responding! Sounds good. I will bring all that  

I am sorry if someone has asked this question before but I am leaving to Germany in a few weeks. We already got our notice in the mail with the 18month extension. 
 

When I leave the states, do I need to see a USCIS field office to get something in my passport saying I’m ok to leave? Or can I just leave and come back without any issues?

just want to be prepared to bring EVERYTHING  I need  Thanks for your help!

Here is my update:

Package Delivered - 02/06

Check deposit - 03/15

Text of receipt - 03/16

Waiting for the mail now 👍🏽

Guys ! We got our card lol the status changed after 3 days already but I just now got the notification through the case tracker app. And now it also shows it on USCIS but I didn’t get any email notification (weird!). It’s all good now ! So happy I don’t have to worry about all this stuff for 2 years now 🤪

How is everyone doing - any updates? @Bianca89, how did the interview go?

Hey guys,

our interview went really well. Unfortunately, we had to wait for about an hour in the waiting room. As soon as it was our turn the officer went through all the YES/NO questions on the application. After that, he asked us how we meet and if I brought any proof for our relationship. We showed him a bunch of pics + our car insurance, joint bank accounts, etc, etc. After that, he gave us a document which said that he recommended us for approval. We haven't gotten any status update yet tho - I am a little concerned right now (even though everything went so well & he was so nice to us). How long did it take you guys to get a notification?

2. It says "a completed Affidavit of Support unless already submitted", does it not?

The only exception to that is if your financial situation has changed since filing. You should redo the I864 then an provide current supporting financial documents.

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO ...... MUCH ! That helped me a lot and will let me sleep in peace tonight ^^ 

In the green card appointment letter it says to bring :

In the green card appointment letter it says to bring :

- a completed medical examination ...

- a completed affidavit of support (income tax returns/w2 etc) ....

My medical exam is still valid and I gave the sealed envelope to customs when I entered the country.

I submitted an affidavit of support when I filled AOS. 

Do we have to submit these things AGAIN? Or how does that work :D? Would be happy about any help! Thanks

Hi, we had our interview last month. We got the notice about 5 weeks before the interview date. We are from Richmond and had plenty of options to choose from in terms of doctors. The medical exam was between 200-300 dollars (cannot remember exactly). 

Maybe you can tell us a little about your interview? What did they ask? What proof did you bring etc

I'm going to have my interview at Norfolk, though probably not very soon. I just wanted to ask about how far in advance you got a notice for your interview, and if there was any trouble with finding a doctor in the area. I'm also wondering what the medical exam cost - I'd be happy to discuss it over PM if that's more comfortable. Thanks!

 

All the best for those with upcoming interviews.

I received my notice about 5 weeks in advance - so plenty of time to prepare I am not sure about the medical costs but mine won't be expire before the Green card interview so I won't do another exam!

Hey there! My local office is Norfolk too, NOA-1 October 15th, and last update “Fingerprint review was completed “ at the end of November and silence since that day... So looks like my case is still in NBC 😒

It’s actually a bit odd how few entries are here for the Norfolk office, because when I got to my biometrics appointment there was a huge line there... 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, so far we only have @Bianca89 with the interview date (good luck there girl ☺️) and she’s 2 months ahead! So if we’re as lucky as she is we’ll get our interviews in a couple of months too 😎

Awww thanks I keep you guys posted on how it went. I am trying to get all the documents together now. I am a little confused about the people getting an medical exam.... did yours expire @Ermin&Zijada??

did you get your letter yet? 🙂 

I got the letter haha I should have just waited a few days longer before asking you guys  It clearly states: "come with your spouse" lol he arranged to come back earlier from Guam so all good   THANK YOU THO!!!

Yeyyy just received my green card appointment scheduled for beginning of April. NOA1 was August 16th 2018!

I’m not sure if you got your interview letter yet. but it states if it’s a marriaged based AOS then your husband has to be there. I assume your husband is military? if he really can’t be there.. you could get official orders paperwork for his travel to guam. and with that you should be fine with that. 🙂 

I haven’t gotten the letter yet but thanks for letting me know! I will see what I can do ☺️

Hey everyone ! I finally got my green card interview appointment. I was wondering: do I have to attend it with my husband? Do I have to go by myself 😅? He might has to work out in Guam for the next few weeks (we live in Virginia lol so it’s far far away from home) so he might not make it 😕 what to do ?!? Thanks for your help!

Hallo ihr Lieben,

Ich hoffe es geht alles bestens Ich hab jetzt mal n ganz doofes Thema : Steuererklärung 2018  

Wie habt ihr das denn gemacht nachdem ihr in die USA gezogen seid und euch abgemeldet habt?

An welches Finanzamt schickt man die Eklärung dann?

An welche Adresse schicken die alle Info's zurück?

Und kann man die neue Steuerklasse eintragen wenn man geheiratet hat oder müsste das erstmal in Deutschland anerkannt werden? (PS mein mann hat nie in Deutschland gelebt mit mir)

Freu mich über Hilfe

The employer needs to see the EAD and you should know your SSN. Employers use form I-9 from USCIS to check your status.

 

Congrats! 

Alright, sounds good! I just don't have my social security with me right now, that's why I'm asking lol. But I know my number. Thanks a lot & congrats to you as well. 

Received my combo card in the mail today 🤪🎉 5 days after approval. When I apply for a job: does my employer need to see my social security card together with the combo card? Or would it be enough for my employer to just know my SS number?

Mine went from card being produced to case was approved 

Oh ok! Thx. I guess I skipped the „card being produced“ status then 🤪😅?

154 days later.... "New Card is Being Produced"

 

FINALLY!

My case also got approved just 2 days ago. Right now the status is "Case is approved". What status will follow? Is it "card is being produced"? And how long did it take to change for you? I am just so excited to finally get my combo card 🤩

I think they schedule it at your home office but you can request a change after you received the invitation letter.

Thx for your response. That would be great 🎉 

Since I am still not able to work right now I decided to join my husband in Hawaii for about 4 months 😅 my Green Card Application in Virginia is still pending - question: is the green card interview always at your local home location? Or is it possible to have it an another uscis office? 

I’m just curios 😇
