That's actually when the wait begins. You can only expect a letter when the status changes to Interview Scheduled.

Try removing some letter of the end of the name. If you still can't get it, contact CBP and they'll fix it. They probably put their name wrong in the system.
 
My very last name was put in the system as Sil instead of Silva.

transcripts only, it's one or the other, you don't need your 1040 and transcripts, only the transcripts
 
 

Everything there makes sense, just so its clear no matter what we are getting a co-sponsor already talked to my father about the issue and he is going to be our co-sponsor, it was just making sure that a straight denial isn't possible if no 864a.  
 
If there is no chance for the jump to a straight denial and just a possible RFE for a 864a then the plan of action for us will likely be:
 
IRS verifical letter of non filing for past 3 years
Formal Written Letter/Statement as to why no filing past 3 years
I-864 for Joint Sponsor
Tax Transcripts for past 3 years of Joint Sponsor (Joint)
Pay Stubs of Joint Sponsor
W-2's of joint
Birth Certificate of Joint Sponsor

Yes, I was able to chat w a rep there, I consider myself very lucky for having been able to do so. This office is relatively near Trolley Square, 660 south 200 east. I will make sure to update this once I hear back on the rescheduling. Thanks again for your help and replies to my questions .

They're probably gonna reject your EAD form and return it to you. You will need to resubmit it with the correct category.

Has she registered the marriage in the Brazilian consulate? Or did you guys get married in Brazil? I see that many Brazilians do not update their Brazilian documents after they get their green card but whenever you guys have the time, a quick visit to the Brazilian Consulate can go a long way. Getting a passport that reflects her name change can avoid a lot of headaches in the future.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will send the application for renewal today. I had it ready before but when I saw that I'm gonna have GC interview I didn't send it. Should've sent when I had more time. Well. Yes. There is nothing else I can do.
Thanks again

It's correct. No biometrics needed for I-131.

You need to send proof of his current job. An employment letter with his salary would be ideal. Paystubs from an old job wouldn't do much since he's not working there anymore.

If you don't mind me asking, how much does he make? Because sometimes parts of the package gets lost and they have to send RFE. If they lose the tax return, the sponsor is automatically disqualified and they ask for a joint sponsor.
 
If your sponsor/husband is well above the poverty line, I would just send all the documents again to prove you don't need a joint sponsor.

1. Sarge posted the link to the November thread. They have a check list of everything you need to submit. The only extra thing you need to submit is a new medical, since it's been more than a year of her medical abroad.
 
2. She's been out of status since when the i-94 expired, so she can technically be deported if they want to. So file it asap.
 
3. Yes, everyone needs to send it to Chicago.
 
4. Correct. EAD and AP are free with AOS.
 
The good thing about waiting is that now she's gonna receive a 10 years green card instead of the 2 years conditional one.

You don't need a new medical (I-693) with you file AOS up to a year after your medical abroad and your DS3025 is marked complete. If it's not complete, you need only the vaccination part of the I-693, but you can send it at anytime between filing and the interview.

Biometrics appointment letter, probably. You don't get a notification for that. 

I'm sorry that happened to you.
 
Just one thing. You were not required to send I-693 with the AOS, so you could've sent the AOS package just after getting married, and later, when done with medical, mail out I-693 (or even wait for the interview).

Biometrics are done at the closest Application Support Center/Office. In my case, my local office is Hartford, CT, but my biometrics were in Port Chester, NY, which is not an office.
 
In your case , El Monte is a Support Center, and probably closer to your home address. But it doesn't mean that's where your interview is gonna take place 
 
 

Mine was fixed through their online form. I sent a copy of my passport and Visa and they fixed it right away.

Keep in mind that your name on the I-94 must match your passport. So if something is missing, you still need to get it fixed.

Not every embassy add the A number to the visa and not every officer write them down on the passport. In my case, neither of these happened.

Received my biometrics letter today as well for Oct 7th.

The kids needs to be mentioned. They're part of his household.
 
For 4 people, that's the poverty line (125%):

Received my biometrics letter today as well for Oct 7th.

Received my biometrics letter today as well for Oct 7th.

The forms are reviewed separately, so they need their own supporting documents. Send one for each.
 
That's correct.

Received the 3 notices in the mail today. Two of them have my last name misspelled. The funny is the mistake is different on each of them. I used the online form to try to fix them. They promised to reply by Oct 25th.
