    I-751 December 2020 Filers

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello everyone,

    My window opened December 12. I filed for i-751 in December 16 thru FedEx and USCIS received it the next day. I was getting worried because I’m not getting any update - no NOA, check hasn’t been cashed - nothing. But thank god I found this thread. I guess because of the pandemic and the holidays, it’s taking a while for USICS to process applications.

    Anyway, good luck! I’ll be posting updates as soon as I receive one.

    APRIL 2018 AOS FILERS

    in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted · Edited by antipasti7

    My journey is ~almost~ over!

     

    PD: 04/2018

    AOS Interview: 03/12/2019

    Field office: Los Angeles, CA

     

    Our appointment was at 10:00 AM. We got there at 9:30 but it took us 1.5 hours to get in because of the incredibly long line outside the building. Thankfully, they still accommodated us.

     

    We checked in and was called in for interview 5 minutes later. The officer put us under oath, which is to tell the truth. She looked for our IDs and the first thing she asked me was if I ever did the biometrics - because my appointment for biometrics was sent back them with dated Apr 2018! I told her that I did 2 months later, and that there was a delay because for some reason, the notice was not delivered to my apartment, although that’s where they sent all other notices regarding my case.

     

    She looked at my file for a while, and then she asked me when we got married, when and how my husband and I first met. She also asked my husband how he obtained US Citizenship. She then asked when we started dating. It’s funny because I had to tell the story of how my husband courted me for a few months before I agreed to go out with him. The officer also asked why I gave my number to my husband the day we met. She proceeded with asking more questions like, who initiated the marriage (I told her that my husband proposed to me), how our family took it when we told them about our engagement, what our future goals as a couple are. She also asked if we have been married before or have children, which we don’t.

     

    After that, she asked for evidences that we are a couple. I presented her documents from when we were dating up to now that we’re married, like pictures, bills, apartment contract, car lease agreement, etc. She inspected the files and took the copies. Finally, she asked me the Yes/No questions on the I-485 form.

     

    She continued to do something in her computer, and then told me that everything looks good and that I am being approved. She drafted a letter stating that I am being approved and told her when I can expect my permanent resident card as we are going to the Philippines next week. It may take a a fee weeks so I was advised to come back on Thursday along with our plane ticket itinerary to get my passport stamped.

     

    Overall, the experience was good. Nothing to be scared of if your marriage is legitimate. The officer was very professional and accommodating!

    Leaving the Philippines with Advance Parole

    in Philippines

    Posted

    Does anyone here ever experienced leaving the Philippines with advance parole?

     

    I have a pending green card case and I am planning on going to the Philippines in March. I was wondering if I have to go to Commission of Filipinos Overseas to get registered.

     

    I didn’t go to Commission of Filipinos Overseas before because I was just an international student, but I was wondering if I have to now that I am married to a Filipino-American.

    She did not get a temporary license, we received the physical card right after she passed the written exam. We just walked to a different location and they made the DL right there. 

    Interesting. I’ve renewed my California DL three times and never received the card right away. I had to wait in the mail. I guess each DMV at each state is different.

    My wife was able to get DL right away, they do it using any of the following:

     

    -They can give you 60-90 day DL based on I-94 date

    -They can give you 6-12 month DL based on NOA 1 for AOS

    -They can give you DL based on EAD 

     

    She did the second one, and we renewed under the 3rd one already. 

     

    I made a thread about my misadventures with the NJ motor vehicle commission. Each NJ location gave me different answers, I found on with answers I like and got the DL. (One office said we need to wait for green card lol)

    Well when I renewed my DL, they gave me a temporary DL that is valid until Jan. I was just wondering when I could get the physical card.

     

    How long did it take for your wife to get the actual DL?

    Your case being ready to be scheduled for interview simply means NBC (the general office for everybody) thinks ur case is fine

    It now goes to ur local office. how soon you get your interview is based on how backed-up ur local office is.

     

    So to answer ur question simply-

    Local offices schedule the interview based on the date of filing

    BUT someone from a faster office is more than likely to get their "ready to schedule interview" after u AND get their interview scheduled before you.
     

    You seem to be in the LA office
    I think that wait is about a year from when you filed. Good luck!

    Oh okay. Got it. That’s the only thing I needed to know.

     

    So LA office will schedule interview based on PD, regardless of when they’re ready to be scheduled for interview. I thought that having the status as “ready” would bump me up the line in LA. Oh well.

    The ssn is just for background checks so they can be sure he isn't a felon or anything. 

    SSN is not technically needed to run a criminal background check, but it can lead to a more thorough screening as there could be no confusion. Name and date of birth is the most important thing when running background checks.

     

    When I first got my job here in the US, I did a background check and I didn’t have SSN (F1 students can only apply for SSN once offered a job) and I didn’t have any problem.

     

    As long as her husband can provide eligibility to work on his start date, everything’s good. He could just give his social security number to HR as soon as he gets it.

    Hey guys, my husband got his EAD card on Friday. He checked the box on the form to get a SSN with the EAD, and we were expecting to have it in the mail by now. How long should we wait before going to the SS office? He has two job offers but can't start without the card. 🤬

    I work in HR and I’m pretty sure your husband can start without his Social Security card. All he need to bring is his EAD and passport for the i-9 verification. Social Security card is listed on List C of acceptable documents BUT it doesn’t have to have any notes. In your husband’s case, his SS probably has a note saying “Valid for work only with DHS authorization”

    This might be a silly question but once my husband and I got married we got a social security card for him. Do we get a different one when we get the green card?

    I hve to request a new one because my previous social security card bears my maiden name. If you already applied using your new name and you put your social security number on your EAD application, then don’t think you would need a new SS card

    Hello Everyone,

     

    On Sept 7th, 2018 I received the text/email that my case was ready to be schedule for interview. (No appointment or letter as of today Oct 10.)

    Yesterday Oct 9th,2018  I received text/email my I-765 EAD status: New Card Is Being Produced. (I'M SO GRATEFUL)

    Then Today Oct 10th, 2018 Email that my AP I-131 has been denied ... I don't understand why. I haven't travel since I arrived, I have not abandoned the application or anything like that...

     

    Any Ideas?

    I'll be looking info online so if someone has anyy Info let me know.

     

    Thanks !!

    Oh no! They are denying APs too? This scares me because I just submitted mine yesterday. Was there any reason for the denial? This is the first case I’ve read wherein an AP was denied.

    Well, of course it's good practice. I just didn't think of bringing in AP/EAD for AOS interview. I was only going to bring in joint statements, bank, leases, etc. I don't think AP/EAD are necessary since it doesn't prove that you are a real couple. But hey, to each of their own own! x

    Well, it is not needed but it’s better to bring it. You’ll never know.
