I feel you. My US finace was supposed to be with me today in the UK. We were going to leave for the US on the 31st March. Now that aint happening... 😕   My visa expires in early July (I got approved in February). Some people have even earlier expiry dates it seems. I hope we get extensions and the ban is lifted soon.. 

I feel like extensions will be approved, this is a unique situation the world finds itself in, sadly the US was a bit behind getting on top of this, i honestly cant see the ban on travel being removed before April 30th, i had family due to fly to the US  to visit and the end of April and they all just had the flights cancelled. Im sure the US government and all other countries want travel back up ASAP as the impact its having on the tourist industry is devastating, and the longer it goes on, the harder that recovery will be.

Hey everyone,

 

Our interview is in 3 weeks. I lost the copies of the supporting documentation that I submitted with the application and I am supposed to bring copies to the interview. 

 

I can re print all of the supporting docs, but I'm not 100% sure if we used our May or June bank & credit card statements for the original application. 

 

Does anyone have advice or experience with this? Am I fine just printing out the most recent statements for everything or do I need to go back and match the actual statement periods?

You should have photo copied everything from the original application, incase any part of it gets lost during the process you then have an exact copy of everything you filed, else its a you said, they said.

I would print out copies of both May and June, and take them with you, chances are they may not ask for them, but if they do, you at least have both areas covered, 

People really need to start paying attention to what they are doing, as not reading instructions and or "losing" important info, as if you catch an immigration officer on the wrong day, could easily say, well you not interested in this process, so we'll just put this on for review, and could delay you weeks/ months.

So yes, make a COPY of everything you file, and secure it, as it makes no difference to immigration if you have to wait another couple of months.

Hey all, 

 

Just got our official interview letter. They want a TON of stuff brought to the interview, including the i-864, tax returns, all supporting evidence of bona fide marriage etc. This was all filed with the original paperwork... I'm assuming that we still need to bring all of it unless someone knows otherwise? Can't believe we have to put all this stuff together again! Such a pain. 

Yes, basically take a copy of everything you already filed, and take originals of documents aswell, as they may want to see them, the actually took a photo copy of my old passport even though i had already provided that when filing, you need to take all of this incase any of the paperwork you filed has been lost on its way to the interview office.

You shouldnt have to put it all together again given that its recommended that you photo copy everything before you send it the first time, as i did this, i already had everything sitting ready to go, dont be surprised if they dont look at alot of stuff you brought, like i said, i took everything, and all they asked for was old passport ( which showed the I-94 stamps ) and some updated photos from when my family visited.

Hi everyone! I had my biometrical appointment in the beginning of september, and while i'm waiting i wanted to ask about vaccination for the greencard. I received  in my country just DS-3025, vaccination  documentation worksheet, and i gave away  my envelope with medical exam( i-693) on a border control. Also on a website it says that this i-693 lasts like 1 year, so if i would have it i would be good. Who knows do i need to go to uscis doctor to do this i-693 again for the interview ? And how do i know what vaccination i still need to have? 

When you file the I-485 you will need to send a copy of the DS3025 with it ( do not send the original ) you should not need to get another medical done in the US, hopefully all going well your interview will be before next September ( depending on when you file ) you will need to take the original DS3025 with you to the interview incase they need it, so do not lose it, if you needed any vaccinations they should have told you the day of the medical.

Another note to everyone else, I see a few people saying that when they went for their interview they where taken in separately from there husband/wife, this must be a local office thing, my and my wife went to Pittsburgh and where both taken in at the same time for the interview.

Our case is now ready to be scheduled for an interview. Finally. It was accepted on October 31. I wonder how long before we receive the official notice.

If the website has updated, you should get the letter fairly quickly, i had my official letter within a week after it updated, others have reported the same, however, your interview could be months out.

Hey for those who already done the interview and got approved how long did it take the USCIS website to update, they told me it would be after 4pm yesturday but it has not updated as of today, i know the site isnt always the fastest to be updated, so was just curious.,

@payxibka 

 

I am facing a similar issue, my (now) husband provided a file at the time of entry at immigration when he entered the US on his K1 visa. Now that we are applying for his adjustment of status, we do not have any medical records as those were in the sealed file (including I am assuming the DS3025). Should we just assume that when we file the I-485, USCIS will also get access to my husband's medical records (handed at the time of entry)?

 

Thanks a lot.

 

The file your Husband surrendered at point of entry is the sealed packet from the Embassy, he would have gotten that after his interview in London, 

On the day of his medical he would have received 2 documents, 1 was a sealed document that he would have surrendered to the embassy in London when he has his interview, the 2nd document was the DS3025, its only 2 pages, i would have him double check all of his paperwork he brought from the UK, the medical facility in London would have stapled a notice to the DS3025 stating do not lose this document, it is needed later for AoS. ( they did with mine )

When you file the I-485, you need to send a copy of that DS3025 with it, as you have to take the original with you to your interview at a later date. ( i had my interview today, and i had to have mine with me )

I couldn't edit my above post to add this,

I had the Pittsburgh office, and i either got super lucky or they have vastly improved their times,

My days to NOA1 was 6

Days from NOA1 to biometrics was 26 days

Days from biometrics to interview was 98 days

Total days from NOA1 to Interview was 129 days

I find myself really lucky to have gone through Pittsburgh and i cant fault them at all, the service through this office has been amazing for me, considering some people have been waiting for a year for an interview at some locations.

Had my Interview today in Pittsburgh, got approved, should have the card out within 5-10 days, the Pittsburgh office has been great, me and the wife where in and out of the building in under an hour.

Hey quick question

For those who already did the interview and those who are waiting, did you fill in forum i-693, i know the medical done in the UK had a seal envelope that was already handed into immigration at the embassy in London, so do we have to do this also, as part of that forum requires a civil surgeon, 

Surely this part has already been completed.

At this time is kinda pointless to apply for EAD and Travel Permit if they are just going straight to the Green Card. Oh well 

Where yes we are lucky that they are moving fast for the Green Card, however if  you read over other posts that is not always the case, as it was free to apply for the EAD and Travel, i would always recommend people do that anyway, as you never know if something will crop up that will slow down your GC interview etc.

We've the same date. Have you found a thread on things to bring to the interview from any of the forums here? 

Everything you need to bring is listed on the letter you get, its mostly the same info that you already sent them, you do need to take the originals of any documents you submitted ( birth cert, marriage cert etc )

 You should get the letter within a week of "interview was scheduled" status.  The letter tells you where and when. You can change date and time at the risk of delaying your interview.

 

 

My status changed on Sep 27th to Interview was Scheduled, and im still waiting for the letter, really hoping it comes in tomorrow, wouldnt want to get the letter and only have a few days between letter and interview.

Got an RFE yesterday for additional proof of my wifes income for affidavit of support. She had just got a new job at the time we filled and was not fully on the payroll at the time. Sending official HR letter and payslips back today.

 

Does anyone know if this will slow down my EAD or do things usually move pretty fast after an RFE?

 

CIS Office :	Raleigh NC
Date Filed :	2019-07-11
NOA Date :	2019-08-06
RFE(s) :	2019-09-30
Bio. Appt. :	2019-08-19

From what i have seen it only seems to slow it down until they get your additional proof, once its received they seem to move on as normal, so get that proof to them ASAP.

Congrats. Wonder what field office are moving this fast, comparatively.

 

My local office is Pittsburgh.

I got the Interview Was Scheduled on Friday from the USCIS site, so hoping to get the letter in the mail on Monday/Tuesday, looks like things are moving along for July filers.

Interview Was Scheduled

That was quick)))))

 

Congrats, that just made me check mine, and it has also updated, lets hope it comes threw fast.

FYI, we filed July 1, and NOA was July 3rd, so keep checking, if you filed after this.

Honestly the waiting is the worst part, its like being stuck in limbo, i dont know what they dont have you apply for the EAD as part of the K1, so you can be working from the minute you land in the US, it would make things so much easier long term.

June filers are starting to get their "Ready to Schedule" and "Interview Scheduled" statuses. Hang in there!!

That is pretty impressive, i wonder what field offices those people are using, heres hoping just July filers arent to far behind them.

I see the USCIS website is being updated today into tomorrow, so cant check case status online.

Alright I just got back home and we just open our letter for the bio-appointment but they are sending us to Jacksonville FL. Does this mean that everything will be process there? I have to change my timeline to Jacksonville? Or this just a one thing only. By the way the drive is 3hrs from where we live. Atlanta was more closer just with a difference of 30 min from Jacksonville. 

 

Any thoughts? 

I think at the moment they are sending people to the nearest one that has available places, you could try contact them to change it to closer but it may delay it, i cant remember if there was a contact number on there to phone them to arrange a different location, 

I remember reading in other topics on VJ that people where being sent to locations within 4 hours of them.
