    Hi everyone!

     

    I am reappearing today to share a good news, and let you guys know why I vanished.

    I really love this community and the way we try to move forward together, but this issue hanging around in my mind was really starting to affect me and kind of driving me crazy. I had to find distractions from the wait, and until I paused the forum for a few weeks I realized it made a difference, those weeks became months, and now here we are. I entered occasionally to read about how you guys were doing, but never even logged in again, fearing this issue would drive me crazy again. 

     

    We started this things with just some questions and debates with QAF2A @thepanda @GiselaMargareta @lilydenris @Bfree3 @Bhumi @markx, and I knew sending that paperwork was a bet, a bet we were doing because we knew it was legal and that the path was there, for me was a bet to no longer be far from the person I love the most in this world. Now I feel it has become a living information source to enlighten and guide people showing what chart B actually means for a F2A applicant, and that sometimes it can help you be with your family and alleviate the pain of being away from each other.

     

    I promised myself that I would enter and share the news either when 1 year had passed since "Case ready to be scheduled for interview" or the moment I received an interview notice. On July 2018, we got the "Case ready to be scheduled for interview", exactly 1 year later, we received the update that our case was scheduled for an interview 😮. Today, we received the Notice, and we have an interview on August 22nd 🙀

     

    We are very excited and very nervous. And wanted to share with you guys this exciting news. And I really, truly couldn't even believe it until I got the interview notice.

    Honestly, from March I had been feeling that our case had something wrong, that it was lost, misplaced or something like that, and we reached to our Senator that after a month said it was very strange, but that they couldn't get an answer on the case from USCIS, we parallelly contacted USCIS, that never answered that inquiry, and almost going crazy I reached to the Ombudsman, who said the case looked complete. (I sent a copy of the Medical via Mail, but not the Ombudsman, USCIS Customer Service or the Senator's team ever said they paired it to my case, tracking said they did received it).

     

    Timing says none of those inquiries helped with the scheduling of our interview. I had also submitted my EAD renewal form, because I had estimated our interview could be anytime between March (when I sent them) and December.

     

    For the ones that have had the experience of being interviewed: Your advice is welcomed!

     

    Any question for this ghost from the past, here I am!

    Good luck dear👍

    I just came back from oversea travel, using AP was pretty easy to re-enter.

     

    I also tried to get info pass appointment and found out they are not doing it anymore, at least not for people who are within the processing times. Will definitely renew my EAD asap.

     

    My I-485 is still considered under normal processing times,(the normal is 31months after filing I485), ridiculous. But I did manage to put in a service request online, I tried to explain that I already had the interview last year this time and as chart A has been current for more than 2 months, I am asking where is my GC, why is the wait still going. Let's see what they will say.

     

    The new Trump immigration reform plans to cancel all pending GCs, and make us apply again. I hope it will not pass.

     

     

    Hey in service request, what option you used? 

    Did you choose typographic error? 

    Which options are you used? 

    I m confused? 

    Or did you used car outside normal processing time? Can you send me a link?

    I'm kind of confused. What processing time do they mean? As I understood you already went through interview, got approved and your PD is current in Chart A.. You are just waiting for the physical green card😢

    Hey they count your field office processing time.and she said your i485 status is interview is completed, but once pd becomes current they will make an decision based on interview..

    My interviewer (officer) said that now I am approving your i485,but once pd becomes current you will get your gc.

    So I am still waiting because my field office procced till 2 Jan 2018..

    And I file my i485 on 28 March 2018..

    Hi! I do agree with @Clotillda that it does not hurt to contact every source, USCIS, local office for info pass. I plan to do that soon.

     

    I have not yet heard anything about the green card. Let's hope it stays that way for now since I need to use the AP to travel next week. When I come back I plan to do info pass and get to the bottom of it. 

     

    Last time I called(earlier this month) the answer was please check the I-485 processing times, and that was not helpful.

    Hey 

    When I schedule an infopass appointment  it says like this:

    Important office information

    This office is not accepting walk-in requests or scheduling InfoPass appointments.

     

    Only one option is to call them..

    Hi @Bhumi 

    I actually believe that it doesn't hurt to call USCIS and ask about your case if you feel that you should have heard from them already. My experience showed that there is a difference between the service request that you put by yourself and the request that was put by the 2 level Officer. Also, if you have an opportunity to do the info pass appointment, just go for it. That works the best

    Thanks dear..

    Hi everyone, just wanted to give you guys an update. After getting really annoyed this weekend because I saw i-130 approval everywhere on facebook for PD up to May, I tried to submit a case inquiry which did not work because the system wouldn't let me. Only case inquires with PD January 28th or somewhere around that where allowed. So I gave up. Sunday my husband checked the mail because we haven't checked it during the week. I received a "heavy" letter from USCIS. It was the notice of my interview result stating the reason fro continuance. "Your i-485 interview is complete and appears to be approvable" but since my PD is not current my file will be transferred to TSC or NBC. Attached to the letter was the March Visa Bulletin. Either TSC or NBC will make the final decision when my PD becomes current. I thought ok, maybe my i-130 will be approved at the same time then. But I received another surprise today in the mail: my approval notice for my i-130. Even though it is not the official i-485, I am glad that I got that out of the way. 

     

    I don't expect the GC until the summer but I do hope to get it before September as I am planning to travel outside of the country. 

    Hey what is your priority date?

    Hi Bumhi, 

    from what I researched I might be wrong all our pending I 130 for AOS packages should send to NBC. If everything is ok and our PD are current NBC will transfer to local office for interview and further processing. Maybe ur package is still on the desk and they haven’t touched yet. Btw mine is still at NBC because my lawyer sent it there. I am waiting for interview too. I hope this help. 

    Thank you so much.

    I hope we will get our interview soon..
