Interview was 2 weeks ago. Haven’t heard anything yet. Very nervous and scared. Officer said to expect a decision within 2 weeks. I guess not. I hate this process so much, I want to start working and driving etc. 

never got AP or work permit, even put an inquiry in which was ignored about 2 months ago. Good times. 

My interview is tomorrow !!!! I am

so stressed and nervous. I have everything. Even copies of my entire AOS packet but im

still nervous as heck. I hope all goes well. I’ll update y’all and will Write down my experience here after the interview. !!

Send some prayers my way!!! Huge day tomorrow !!!!

I absolutely love your reply, very very helpful. Thanks a lot ! I appreciate it !

Also, do I need my German birth certificate translated ?

Good morning everyone. 

I have my adjustment of status interview in Baltimore in a little over 2 weeks. I’m starting to become increasingly nervous.

I had my full medical examination in my home country Germany on 2/22/18. Since it hasn’t been a year since then I assume I don’t have to go and see a civil surgeon and re do the exam. 

I wonder if I should go anyways and at least re verify my vaccination record. 

Anyone that’s already been through the interview, any special tips you might have? 

I have all the documentation and copies of everything, so I feel like I am pretty prepared.

i don’t have anything medical since I had to give that in a sealed envelope to the border control officer upon entry on my K1 visa.  

How long did it take you after the interview to receive the card in the mail?  Was your case approved right after the Interview ?

my husband got a great job offer in Colorado, and we want to move by February 1st. My interview is on November 30th. I’m hoping to have the green card by then so I can move. 

Got the notification I-485 is ready to schedule an interview this morning. After the RFE 3 weeks ago it really happened quick. 

Bad news is we live in Maryland and I think the Baltimore field office has the longest wait times. 

Work permit and advanced parole are not moving forward at all. I will put an inquiry in on the 30th, as that marks the 6 month mark of them receiving my cases. 

It really is moving painfully slow. 

Hey peeps !! 

Map i got my RFE last week and send the response packet in a day later. They needed the 1040 tax return for the affidavit of support (which we already did sent in at the beginning but oh well). 

Easy fix and the packet is sent and received. Fingers crossed. 

Now, it’s been 157 days since my work permit application was received. Do I qualify for an inquiry? It still days received and I wonder if it’s out of normal processing times.

thanks and good luck to all of us !

Sigh !!!! Just looked online and saw request for initial evidence was mailed.. for adjustment of status. 

Well that REALLY ruins my day.  

Hey guys. 

After my medical in Germany I got a CD with my medical data on it. That’s it. 

Now, what in God’s name do I do with it? Send it to USCIS ? Do nothing? 

How did you handle your medical results ?

did you send your CD in?

Just now, krissy002 said:

My husband did his medical over and we sent it in with AOS package.

What did you sent ? The CD? I got a CD after my medical but wasn’t aware I had to send that in. 

Anyone submit form I-693 in their AOS Package?

Sigh starting to get impatient. 

USCIS got our packet on April 30th. Including

I-765,  I-131 and I-485 

got my noa1 2 weeks later and already had my biometrics appointment. 

Yet it still says “case recieved” on uscis case status. 

Its been over 90 days and I’d really like to start working and have a drivers license (Im not allowed to have one until I get my work permit) How long are wait times? 

Sigh!

Just got our biometrics appointment today. It’s on 5/30. I got my NOA1 last week and it’s great to see things moving pretty quickly. 

Altgough our local uscis office is the one that has the longest processing times..... Baltimore. 

I send our AOS package in and it was revieced and signed by a E Garcia  according to USPS on May 1st. I did include the electronic notice form in there, how long do we have to wait for an acknowledgement that they have revieced our case?

Congrats!

I found this cover sheet online, and it actually doubled as a good checklist. Hope this helps. (Ignore the formatting at the top, it is a table inserted into Word)

I believe G-325A is no longer used. If it is, I didn't send it!

Hopefully this is all that is required, I'm no expert, so take this as advice.

Great checklist. Thanks for posting it! 

Does everyone have to fill out the I-864a?

We have the affidavit of support filled out and I believe that all I need. Since it’s only me and my husband and no other household member. Is that correct? Or am I the household member in this instance? 

I have 0 income since I don’t have the work permit yet so it would not make any sense to fill out that form. 

Or is it mandatory?

Some people said they sent 2 and no problem, but why not just send 6 so you don't need to worry?

Thank you!

How many passport pictures did you include in there? 

Because every form except affidavit requires 2 pictures it should be 6 right? 

Hey! 

Just a little confused there, do we not send evidence of marriage and ongoing relationship etc in the AOS envelope? 

Oh I just remembered one more question. 

I did get the medical done recently. So I don’t have to do that again. 

Do I submit any proof or anything regarding the medical? 

And where do I send ALL of this to? Chicago dropbox or local uscis office?

Thank you so much guys. 

Hello everybody. I’m new here! 

I arrived on my K1 visa on 3/25, we got married 4/14 and I’m now sitting in front of my paper work trying to fill it out  

i have a couple of questions and would HIGHLY appreciate you guys helping me out. 

First off, it’s my understanding that the A number is being issued to people with a green card, is that correct ?

they ask for the number on every form and it makes me nervous that I don’t have it. 

What is my current immigration status? 

I wrote “K1 visa holder, AOS applicant” 

form I-864 Part 1: .............I, am the sponsor submitting this affidavit of support because 

✖️I am the petitioner. I filed or am filing for the immigration of my relative .

now, is that the answer I put my little check mark on? Whose name should I put in ther? My husbands (since he is sponsoring and providing for me) or mine (since I am the petitioner) ? 

Or does the US citizen has to fill out the form by himself ? 

What is a principal applicant ?

do I put all the applications in one envelope and send it?

last question, Bear with me guys. 

The travel authorization. It looks like they require you to set a date for proposed travel in order to to be allowed to travel. 

I don’t have a date that I want to leave the states, I just want to make sure in case of an family emergency back in Germany  I’m not trapped here. 

Do I just put a random date in there? Or just skip that part? 

Or should I just not fill the travel form out and just send the AOS Affidavit and work permit out? And if I do that, do I have to pay for the work permit application? 

I know when you submit everything all together you just pay biometrics and AOS. 

Sorry for these LONG questions. 

Id appreciate your help! Thank you!!
