N & A

Way to put on damper on things Liz! haha, its ok. We've come this far, what's a few more months 

Hi all! Just wanted to share that my interview was this morning. Hadn't even gotten to the subway when I got a notification that a new card was produced! Very blessed with how smooth and quick this process has been for me. All the best for the rest of you! x

My passport and EAD card. You can also download, fill in and print the application form beforehand, which is what I did just to save me from having to fill it manually by hand at SSA. All the best!
 

It's a combo card and they're approved together even if it doesn't show an update under the advanced parole case? (only the employment authorization)

Hello, I never posted here because I originally sent my package in January. However, we got a rejection notice and had to send it back so our NOA1 is Feb 20th.
 
I got my interview last week and my approval letter yesterday and my green card is currently being delivered. I was originally supposed to be in Queens, NY where they are still processing June 2016 but I guess they transferred us to New York City where the processing is very similar. I was not expecting all of this to happen this soon but I'm glad! A lot of people from January are also getting their EAD/AP right now.

It took almost 3 weeks to get our NOA1 after submitting our app on 5/24. Just received our biometrics appt for 7/2. We're in NYC so I'm sure they're handling a billion cases but I wish we could speed this along some way. 

Hey!
We finally got a notification that our applications (I-485, I-765, I-131) were received on 5/24 and the fingerprint fee for the i -485 was accepted on 6/8. So now we'll wait for the I-797s in the mail.
 
I'm curious about the biometrics appt, do they assign you a time or do you choose when you would like to go? If they choose for you, do they send you an email or regular mail?
What's the next step after that? and relatively how long until the next step?
 
thank you!

Resuscitating this thread in case anyone has made this mistake recently. I can't believe I overlooked this detail, but in the midst of everything else I forgot to check the eligibility category before mailing my packet last week. At least I caught it quickly. I called the USCIS customer service line this morning and got through to a representative almost immediately. He instructed me to mail a letter with the applicant's name, case number, signature, and request to change I-765 eligibility category from (a)6 to ©9 to the office where my case was sent, which is listed on the NOA1 hard copy. No more information or detail than that is needed, so no need to panic or file a new I-765.
Lesson learned: triple check every detail on VisaJourney before filing!

@N & A, In looking over what you have, I would say that it is similar to what we submitted except we did not send a copy of the NOA2 for I-129F.  I don't think that is nec.  We did not go for the AP, so did not send anything there.  I would recomend that you go to the USCIS site and verify that you have the latest form.  Look at both the Expiration date at the top right and the Form date on the lower left.  It is important that you have the latest form.  

I would add a translation of the birth certificate if not in English with a statement from the translator certifying he/she is fluent in both languages (English and foreign language), documents/pictures that show proof of bona fide marriage (bank statements, joint lease, car/life/health insurance, cellphone plan, etc).

Tax transcripts from IRS for the most recent years is preferred I believe.   If not you need to send copy of signed tax forms , W2 and INT forms.  I sent both.  
 
You should include employment verification letter from your employer on company letterhead.   
 
Also, proof of relationship such as wedding and family pictures and documents such as receipts,  plane ticket stubs and anything to show bona fida relationship.    They don't have your evidences from your K129F application so better to prepare them again.
 
Good luck

Between the time your I-94 expires and the time you file for AOS, you will be out of status, and you are technically subject to being picked up.  Just recently, immigration officers  knocked on a poster's door to warn his spouse of this. 
You are illegally in the US after your I-94 expires.  Once you file for AOS, you will be in "authorized stay" staus.

Thank you for the advice! I think I am going to look for a joint sponsor just to be on a safe side!

Just went through the K1 process and was never even asked for my Affidavit of Support or supporting documents. Not sure how it is in Russia though, so I would ask someone who's gone through the interview process over there.

Send them home. You can't make them happy. I think your wife had a vision of celebrity lifestyle and you never could give that to her. You can only make you happy because If you try to make anyone else happy, you will lose yourself.

Visa approved 

I hope they are nice to me.  Now that I actually read the petition this is not a good thing to leave out.  The Tier II did say it was a request for initial information.  I will take my spanking.  It was 27 years ago.  It completely skipped my mind.

Just got off the phone with Tier II.  They say 2 days ago they sent out a request for initial evidence.  I'm not sure what that is but it is some real information for a change.

Day 227 - No update on the website, or app......But we got our APPROVAL Arrived in the mail today - Looks like it was dated Feb 13th - FINALLY!!! Now onto the next wait
