    Moon&Stars reacted to Penguin_ie in Negative attitudes in the forum   
    I wanted to address the negative attitudes we have seen on the rise recently in the upper/ immigration forums towards those who ask beginner/ simple questions, or have unusually fast or slow VisaJourneys.

    First, there is a tone difference between the Progress forums- which are mostly for support and cheerleading, and the Info forums, which are mostly to have questions answered.   While all our forums are supposed to be welcoming to all and friendly, this is especially important in the Progress forums, which are not to discuss politics, or be negative towards  those fortunate to have their case dealt with quickly, or  critical of those who voice sadness about their own slow progress. These forums are there to uplift eachother!

    Secondly- in the info forums, you may get bad news.  When a question is asked, our members are encouraged to answer truthfully, even if this may not be what the Op wants to hear, because it is important to be informed.  However, the emphasis is still on being welcoming and friendly.  If you need to give bad news, do so gently, and stick to facts; constructive criticism of the Op's plans ARE allowed, but the emphasis is on constructive.  No need to dwell on mistakes (or tell members they should be on 90 Day Fiance- that is a personal attack and automatic suspension), or  illegal actions in the past- instead, encourage and explain legal options for the future.  And ONLY legal options- as per our TOS, VJ does not support, condone or encourage illegal (immigration) actions, and such posts will be removed.

    Ultimately, we are here to help all members, old and new, easy cases and complicated, those who write a fact filled bullet point post and those who are panicking and don't make much sense in their first post. Yes, sometimes questions can be easily googled, or answered via a search of our forums.  But if you feel that way, just scroll past- no need to criticise the OP for asking the question.

    Moon&Stars got a reaction from Dotagirlandboy in USCIS called me and left a message?   
    We also had a phone call from USCIS from a weird number. They would call but wouldn't leave a message. After the second call I answered and they asked for my husband. Since he was at work, they declined to speak with me and called him. They were calling back to schedule an info pass appointment. 
     
    I would suggest being wary, but it isn't unheard of for them to call. The best way to handle it is to not give away personally identifying information until you are sure who you are talking to. But USCIS doesn't want to stick around on the phone long and they will get to the point of their call quickly.

    Moon&Stars got a reaction from Marieke H in Registering for free ESL class while on K1 visa, not yet married or applied for AOS   
    ESL classes or any types of classes are great activities for someone coming on a K-1 visa while they wait for the work permit. Volunteering (in clearly defined volunteer only roles, not something that could turn into a job) is another type of activity. The more your fiancée and then spouse can have things to do to feel productive, meet people and learn the culture while you are at work, the better off you will all be. Sign her up!

    One more thing I would suggest, make at least one copy of the incorrect GC for your records. You never know when you will need to come up with a copy for whatever reason, until you get your new corrected GC.

    Thanks! I was so excited to be done with USCIS forms for a while. But instead I'm filling out another one and waiting for them...again. I look forward to the almost 2 year break on this stuff!

    You will need to send in your GC for replacement, there should be no charge to you, if you fill out the form correctly. I have no idea how long this process takes, but you will want to get this corrected.

    As expected, whenever a hardliner rule was set out to curb legal immigrants. You can see a bunch of elite members here who are done or almost done with their journey, gathering and chanting the rule is reasonable. I'm not going to reply or read any of you people replies, so don't waste your time. This forum is used to be good and filled with tolerant members, now it became a favorite gathering place of Trump's cult. Excuse for my bad English, I'm not from your 1st countries.

    I just woke up to a "New Card is Being Produced" email (EAD/AP). I didn't expedite and it's not too helpful right now because my AOS interview is already scheduled for next week, I just figured it could help to share my timeline. 
     
    My NOA1 is 5/23, Biometrics 8/1 and AOS interview 9/24. 
     
    Hope everyone get some good news these days!

    Hello everyone I got my interview today and I am a resident now. It was wait easier than I thought ( St Albans- Vermont) no one was there. Just the two of us. Super fast.  He asked my husband how we met and how was our wedding and he didn't even ask for any of the documentation I needed to bring and all the pictures and documents they gave it back to me .There was an officer there and a police officer and after 2 minutes of questions he said he stamped my passport and said now you can travel you can work you can study you can do everything. I got a temporary greencard because I have been married less than 2 years. I also asked about changing my last name so I did it and my green card is going to be with my husband last name. So happy. Good luck to everyone
