Actually, I got the letter last Friday as well. I wasn't expecting it 

We also got a letter regarding biometrics waived a few days after the case status updated online.

Filed 10/15/22 California center. Hopefully doesn't take too long.

There is nothing excessive about it. There more proof you can provide the lesser chance you would receive an RFE. 

It's nearly 200 pages just for one bank account. I do think that's excessive without even including all the other accounts, tax returns, and credit card statements. I know what they want to see but man, I feel like 1 statement a year should be fine

Can I ask, did you provide years of bank statements? I feel like its excessive at this point to include 3 years worth of joint banking statements to show he's been on the account since we were married.

This is not discrimination as OP seems to be claiming. EADs status is really not a status as it’s not a work visa and company is taking a risk hiring you. It’s a free country 

Sorry theres a lot of things not free in this country. An EAD is an employment authorization document. He can work as long as it is valid. It is not a risk as the company does not have to sponsor him.

It can be days, it can be months, or in some situations years. It all depends on your luck and local field office. As Ayrton said the letter will come when the status will change to interview was scheduled. 

Ahh that's good info thank you both. I was under the impression it was like the Biometrics where it comes shortly after the change.

Case status as of nov 22nd ready for interview. I assume we should be getting letter in the mail any day now as it's been almost 2 weeks? How exciting!!

I'm sorry nobody has given you real correct information. This is true discrimination of a protected class (citizenship and/or national origin) especially as this should not even be up for discussion. You have a valid work authorization form which can easily be verified with eVerify. Your status is irrelevant and this has nothing to do with "at will" employment. I worked in HR, in California for many years. You should file a complaint with the appropriate agencies for discrimination and let them handle. It's not worth your time to get the decision reversed because they will ultimately find any other reason to let you go (this is where at will comes into play).

The biometrics appointment was the fastest appointment ever. Arrived early, out within 10 mins before the 1pm appointment. Only people there. No phones allowed! 

Hello,

Quick question, as the US Citizen, I am starting a new job in a month. Salary does not change at all. Am I supposed to send in another letter from employer for the I-865? Or is everything good to go and just mention it at interview?

Received biometric appointment letter over the weekend for next week. 🥰

Look very close at my time line, not fast at all 299 days for K1 NOA2, 2 month setback after medical, 1 month setback after interview, so I've had to struggle through my whole visa journey so far. It is only now since the AOS that I have found some measure of normalcy. But I feel anyone's pain and stress dealing with this visa journey. Bottom line I understand your concerns as I have experienced some of the same. I try to be upbeat to other VJers and give them the bright side of things. I do tell my opinions sometimes not what  people would like to hear, but I say it in a way to NOT offend or at least I try too. Thank you for the congratulations, but I'm right here with you!!!!! BTW I was a May 2018 K1 filer. Most  ID SAY 80% of my group has gone before me and are now with GC. I'm still stumbling through, but I've never lost hope and neither should YOU or anyone here. I'm a September 2019 AOS filer, but I'm here with you too!!!!

Those set backs really suck don't they? We are March 2018 K1 filers and we were one of the first to get our NOA2 in September 2018 but post interview we were placed into AP for 7 months and had to do two medicals and hire a lawyer to get answers. Of course London had increased their medical fee by the time the second one came around too. But now that we are together and married life is good and we can breathe easier.

Sorry, that they got confused but I didn’t. 

I think you are confused. This thread is the AOS from K1 hence the confusion from the other poster and the poster you replied to linked you to the other AOS forum for non K1.

All three NOA1 are arriving in the mail today!!

Helllloooo so wonderful to be back after a 90 day break :D Filed on 9/28/19 got the text messages of acceptance with our case numbers tonight. Quick question- general timeframe for biometrics? Will this be happening in less than 30 days? We are going out of state for my birthday and I would hate for one appointment to cancel an entire vacation (in 6 weeks).

Bunch of brick walls in here. Arguing points that aren't being made? Okay. Maybe results may vary because of background checks for other people and perhaps in our case they really did mess up and delay our case for an invalid reason and uh last I checked my congressman wouldn't represent me in court but my lawyer would hence the results with a lawyer vs a federal representative.

Sounds like perhaps they misplaced documents or lost/mixed up your medical.

They had it at the interview as my fiance received his disc but it expired in April as it passed 6 month mark.

Hi @moreadore, have you had any progress on your case? Fingers crossed for you!

Yes we have. Wanted to wait until visa was in hand.... but since this thread has seen some new activity now, we were asked two weeks ago for my fiance to have a new medical (on his way home from London now) and send back his passport with my reaffirmation letter (pick up tomorrow). Lawyers work... at least competent ones do 🙉 🙈🙊

I’m so sorry yours hasn’t been yet it’s crazy. All I can think is it has to be name issues. 

Turns out the most likely cause of my delay was some civil servant putting spaces between my first and two middle names on the DHS system because it’s caused me to need to be manually  verified  when getting my ssn initially and then again when updating it to my married name. Expecting further delays because they havent fixed it. 

I'm betting more and more it's because my fiance does not have a middle name at all it's so insane that with his fingerprints, birthday, all this personal information they have on him and it still takes more than half a year and still can't verify he is not some other person because of a middle name.

67 days I was in AP before my senator raising a congressional inquiry got a result. My visa had been approved a month before I got it

Im glad your AP was resolved quickly and your senator did something useful.

People in this thread jumped and attacked you?  Where?

 

I said lawyers talking directly to embassy lawyers is uncommon but I also wished you the best of luck---if you took that as "toxic" then I really don't know what else to say.

It's on any thread about extended ap. Everyone parrots the same lines like it's any help without ever taking the time to learn each case before they jump in with their own preconceived opinions. I quickly called Amanda's case as going to resolve quickly as I took the time to talk to her in private and follow her threads and she was in AP for maybe 5 or 6 weeks? Everybody else just "it's a black hole etc etc"

Thank you. I saw what you said through the email notification. Everyone jumps and attacks at any mention of AP and acts like they're experts and we're just supposed to shut up and take it. This place is toxic as hell and honestly I wonder why I even bother it's a broken record copy pasting the same thing when my case is clearly not the day after an interview whining about the ceac status.

First I've ever  heard of lawyers talking to embassy lawyers, as well.  Lawyers have been known to say lots of things though when retaining clients.

Is it really that perplexing though? In any other situation where a lawyer is involved do they not talk to the other party's lawyer? Representatives speak to the representatives. I mean here's a piece of the job description for the paralegal on the UK embassy website right now. I couldn't provide the whole thing because the size limit is so low.
