Life happens and I haven't been back in a good while.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this Dec Laura and I will be celebrating our 5th anniversary. Woohoo!

We've had our troubles, like most couples, but we're very happy together and things are going well.

I've done it before, but again, thanks to all who made the process of her getting here (relatively) painless.

With no interview needed!

We filed on 4-15-2010 and Laura had her biometrics done June 2nd. That was a bit of a mess because the USCIS computer scheduled close to 100 people for the same time slot, so it was about a 2 hour wait, compared to the first time which was about 20 min.

She received her I-797C NOA today (dated 7-7-2010, "Congratulations! Your request for the removal of the conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved.

Today's my birthday, couldn't have gotten a better present! :dance:

no news here. it is driving me crazy. i get the feeling that my file got lost or something.

For all those with movement and approval, congrats!

Finally!!!!

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On June 13, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you.

Both pages? Do you mean both copies? Laura's AP is two copies, one page each.

Laura is leaving to visit the UK for a few weeks. Of course she's taking her passport that has the various things attached, visa, I-94 etc., her AP form, and a copy of our marriage certificate (she kept her last name, so figure there's no harm in being prepared).

Our question is, do they take anything when she leaves or enters? They've done things wrong before at the POE so want to know what to expect.

Regards...

We had our interview yesterday....man that was TOO EASY!! We were approved!! My wife got a I-551 stamp on her passport and the lady said she would get her green card in 2 weeks!

If that's what the email means then they are really slow. It was transfered to the CSC on Feb 27 amd we received the mailed NOA about Mar 3. Seems odd we'd just now be getting the email.

Got this email on the third,

The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office.

You can add us to the list, dates at the bottom of my sig.

Hmmm...no touches on Laura's AOS since it was sent to the CSC on 27 Feb.

Laura's EAD card came yesterday. Yay!

Laura received two copies of her advance parole today! Yay!

Laura's case was transfered to the CSC on the 3rd...moving along.

Weather for Saturday, her biometric appt, is windy and blustery...I hope that's not a sign.

I don't have Laura's SS card handy to look at, but don't remember seeing that on her card.

How do I make my timeline appear below my posts like most people have?

Received NOA-2 today, biometrics appointment letter for I-485 and I-765. Woohoo!

All the NOA-1 letters came yesterday, AOS, EAD, AP.

Did anyone else get scented letters? LOL

Our reeked of perfume, Laura could smell it as she walked back from the mailbox.

My checking account emailed me. Check posted today!

Sucks that they do electronic posting though, I can't view the back to get out case number

Scratch that, we can see the case number.

We've started our AOS process as of yesterday.

There's a thread in the AOS section, http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=108307

4. As far as "evidence of marriage" goes

The form says "a certified copy" which for all intents and purposes here in Georgia means an original. When I went to get ours after we were married, I got 4, you can't tell the difference between them. We sent one of those. We would never send the only one we had though.

Like topics have been merged.

Wish you'd merged the other direction though. The other thread had "February" first in the topic which is more logical. Easier to find.

oh geeze, I just send one copy of US citizen passport and intending immigrant for the AOS, EAD and AP
