Hi everyone! I also just submitted my ROC paperwork with a divorce waiver from Dallas, Texas.

 

GC expires 4/15

Mailed via USPS on 4/10

Delivered and pick-up on 4/12 from:

USCIS Attn: I-751

P.O. Box 21200

Phoenix, AZ 85036-1200

 

I haven't received any notifications, no email or text. Nothing has been charged yet, which is making me anxious tbh. 😅 Anything I can do on my end to check other than wait it out?

 

 

Hi, our timeline is the same. We mailed our  i-751 packet on 4/10, delivered, and picked up 4/12 from Phoenix, AZ. We used personal check and no notifications yet. Waiting patiently, though it's hard lol. Good luck to all of us!

Hi guys,

I just want to give an update regarding our interview. We had our AOS interview today at San Fernando Chatsworth field office scheduled at 12:15pm. We arrived at 12 and there was a line for 12:15pm appointment. We passed through security like you go through airport security, removing shoes, emptying pockets etc. Got in line again for the initial process which is identification and fingerprint scan, got a number (time stamped was 12:45pm) and waited to be called.

After roughly 30-40mins, we were called and we were scorted by our interviewer to a private room/office. Took an oath to tell the truth. My spouse and I were asked to show our original BC, marriage certificate, and passports. My spouse who is the applicant was asked basic questions like our full names, physical address, both our birthday, marriage date while referring to the application form to check accuracy. After that, was asked a series of security questions that is answered by NO :). Was then asked  for proof of bonafide marriage such as joint assets documentation, pictures. Interviewere didn't ask for affidavit of suport. We were also asked to tell about our love story hehehe with follow up questions regarding the love story. Interviewer then returned our original copies back to us, said she was just printing something and casually said:, "oh by the way, I approved your application. Congratulations." Green card is supposed to be here in two weeks. As soon as we got back to the car, I checked my phone and there was a notification saying that the application was approved and moments later, got another notification that says card is being produced.

P.S. we didn't bring our phone, but turns out you can bring them.

Wow, more good news from June 2020 filers! What was your filing and biometric dates? I've been seeing observations on other groups that EAD approvals have been mostly coming from August biometrics.

We filed June 4th. Our biometrics appointment was on August 10. Hope you get yours the soonest! :)

Hi guys, I just want to give an update. We got our EAD and AP approval letters today. Approval date was 10/15/20. AOS status is still ready to be schedule since August 14. 

If anyone is waiting for their NOA1, you can try to chat Emma and connect to a live person. I was able to get our case number that way.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help, I arrived here 3 weeks ago on my K1 and my fiancée has been sick so was unable to go in person to apply for the marriage licence until today, I have since found out all of the State offices in CA are closed indefinitely to get a licence and have heard rumors this could stay closed for a month or two. I am going to try and get a Confidential licence but it still would need processing by the register office for it to be filed and to get a certified copy. I’m struggling to see how we will get all this processed and filed for AOS within the 90 days? Has anyone heard of any possible extension to the 90 days as I don’t want to accrue unlawful stay??

Hi, Kings County is still issuing marriage license by appointment. We just got ours today. You fill out the form online. 

FYI, If you're in California and still looking to get marriage license, go check out Kings County. They're still issuing but by appointment only, from 10am- 1pm.

CEAC status just changed today as "Issued." 🙏

I don't think being a same sex couple is a concern. My fiance(e) and I are same sex couple and we got approved. 

 

Hoping for the best for you and your partner!

I misread your post. My bad. One thing that had my fiance(e) worried was that during the prescreening,  the lady circled something, which my fiance(e) thought was her mother's name. In her BC, it's Maria and in Cenomar just Ma, but the CO didn't say anything about it during the interview. I guess we got really lucky. 

There was a lady in the embassy that she was talking to and got a 221g for a cenomar as well.

In your case, hopefully it's only a corrected Cenomar.

i am here in here philippines with my fiancé for her interview. the result was administrative process and they also gave her passport back. 

 

on her cenomar paper, her fathers name was misspelled and she was told that would be an issue. the last question the interviewer  asked was about where I live. I moved in with her aunt after my lease ended so that we could just pick an apartment together when she moved. I make around 95K and we have no children/dependents but would living with her aunt be an issue?

 

we are concerned bc we are a same sex couple so the US is the only place we can get married pretty much and because they put us on AP and gave the passport back. Would any of the above things be such a big issue?

I don't think being a same sex couple is a concern. My fiance(e) and I are same sex couple and we got approved.

Cancelled interview due to sputum test. I was just checking ceac.state.gov to see if there were any status updates. Our status changed from READY to AP even though we cancelled the interview few days before the interview date. Has anyone experienced this before?

My Fiance was scheduled for a sputum test after she told  ST. Lukes at her KI Visa physical  that she was treated for TB in 2004.  She supplied them with all documentation from the treatment and they would not accept it.   Even though she had a clear X-Ray and there was no other testing that indicated a problem she was scheduled for a culture and St. Lukes told her to cancel the Embassy Interview.   When she complained the doctor said that because of the contract with the Embassy they could not take a chance and had to validate her prior treatment. I understand that  you can get falsified medical records, but when the E-Ray is clean this seems to be an overreach by St. Lukes.   Just trying to understand.  I want the best for her, but was this necessary.  I am not alone with this situation others were scheduled for sputum testing  the same day as well. 

When my fiance(e) went back to SLEC for the pulmonary evaluation, the doctor said that there was a white fiberish on the xray that my fiance(e) couldn't see when the doctor showed her the xray. Fiance(e) has no history of TB, always had to do medical exam from her work, and she was always cleared. No idea what the doctor sees that my fiance(e) can't. Very frustrating for sure but  SLEC is required to follow CDC guidelines.

My fiance had her initial K1 Visa Medical Examination on December 4, 2019 and at the end of the first day she was told that 20% of applicants where required to undergo a 3 day Sputum Test  and was scheduled for the 10, 11, and 12th of December.  She was also told there there would

be a 12 week time period to develop a culture and the Embassy Interview will need to be rescheduled.  Trying to figure out what happened.   Is this random selection of 20% of the applicants indeed a fact or was something detected in the other testing.   Needless to say I am out a bunch of money on airlines tickets and other associated cost.

My fiance(e) had her medical exam on November 26th and she was told that day that she had to go through the 3 day sputum test. Majority in her group that day had to do sputum test. Yesterday she went back to SLEC for the pulmonary evaluation and she's cleared from the 3 day sputum test. She is going back to SLEC in January 30, exactly in 8 weeks from yesterday. Hopefully, we don't get the dreaded call before 8 weeks mark. I'm not sure about the 12 week time period though.  I feel your pain! If my fiance(e) didn't stop me, I probably would've booked her flight already. The only thing you can do now is comply. Good luck!

Just an update. My fiance(e) went in for her medical exam today and has to undergo the  dreaded sputum test. We are devastated about this, I can't imagine what my fiance(e) is going through right now, emotionally, but life goes on. 2 months is nothing compared to being in an LDR for more than 7 years. Weird thing is that, everyone in her group has to do sputum test. Coincidence or what?

Finally hit "in transit"!!!! Any idea when the case will be ready in order schedule an interview?

Congrats! 

I think it varies from where you are from. For the Philippines, in our experience,  it took only a day to change it from in transit to ready. Good luck!

thanks so much! we havent done the ds-160 yet, but will soon

 

so we dont need a letter/email from the nvc to schedule the medical?

 

thanks so much again for your help. kinda lost in this part of the process ahah

 

congrats to you too!

you do need your NVC letter with MNL#. When did yours go in transit? Usually, they email you once your case is shipped out to your Embassy. When I checked mine early in the morning, the status changed from at NVC to in transit, and after a few a hours, I got the email from NVC with the MNL #.

our case is in transit now.

 

will the consulate in the Philippines contact my fiance to give her info on setting up a medical appt, interview, etc. when its received?

Congrats! 

You do everything on your own. Medical is walk in and you set up interview through USEM website, but you have to pay visa fee first before you can schedule. Have you completed your ds-160 yet?
