    in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    yesterday we received the green cards for wife and children. I've updated my timeline so everything is there, but in short our April 9th interview was rescheduled, moved to Nov 18.

    Verbally on the spot they advise me that we passed, but some of the paperwork was not sent down from USCIS to the local office where we interviewed, hence we had to wait till everything was received. About a week ago the status changed to approved and within a week the cards were produced/mailed and eventually received safely yesterday.

     

    Living so close to the Canadian border, now we can finally think about taking a winter vacation :)

     

    it was a long journey for all of us, I wish everyone best of luck with their new spouse/family :)

    So the disappointing thing was that my interview is scheduled in Charlotte,NC. 

    Even though I changed my address, even confirmed with the representatives and always selected my husbands address for all immigration communication etc. 

    like even this interview letter reached me at my new Texas address.

     

    even for that question on I-130 - the beneficiary will apply for adjustment of status in which state - I selected Dallas, Texas 

     

    so I don’t get how this mistake could have happened. I’m like beyond disappointed because this will put me wayyyy back in the queue 

    change of address is only for where they are going to send the written communication / green card. This does not provide ground to transfer a case from one office to another.

    have the interview in Charlotte. you moving residence does not concern USCIS to transfer your case.

    if you don't show up, they will consider you abandoning the case and close with refusal for AOS.

     

    I've heard people from Portland who moved to Florida and flew back to Portland for their interview.

     

    I recommend getting those flight tickets and just be done with it. The way scheduling works with COVID re-openings, I would not try to miss this one...feel lucky you had one scheduled!

    Same happened to me, I called uscis and I found out they made a mistake with my address. You can call them and ask to speak to a tier 2 officer about it. 

    i called them. the guy says he can see the interview scheduled updated, but the letter was not generated/sent out, that's why we haven't received anything.

    I submitted an online request also on USCIS to track on the status and advise we haven't got the letter.

     

    I wait another 10 calendar days to see what their response is going to be. 

     

    The address on file was correct, so that is not the issue....very strange that they scheduled 2 weeks ago and not mailed anything.

    I might have missed this...why is it better to submit the renewal 6 months early vs. let's say 1 month before expiration ?

    We had our green card interview originally scheduled April 13th but was of course cancelled due to COVID. Checking the Case Status online, it still indicates our original interview. Has anyone been given a new interview date yet? I'm worried with news of USCIS furloughs and lack of funding that we will won't be rescheduled for months. Just checking in with others who might be in the same situation! 

    ours was April 7th and got pushed back in the status to "ready to schedule interview", since then no change or any communication from uscis

    There's nothing to expect, you'll have to apply for an extension. 

    it is very well described here, how to proceed with an extension.

    what I asked is experience from those who neared the 1 year period. I've heard some were approved without interviews, so wanted to find out if that was the rule or just the lucky exception.

    Job loss before I-485 Adjustment of Status interview

    All,

     

    My wife and 2 step children are going through the fiancee visa process + adjustment of status.

    Our adjustment of status interview date is 4/9/2020 and on 3/6/2020 I was let go at work.

     

    The affidavit of support (I-864) was entirely dependent on my income.

    Now I have a joint sponsor who is willing to step in.

     

    My questions:

    1) will I need to fill out again my own AoS document indicating I'm now unemployed and bring that updated + the new affidavit of support from the joint sponsor for the interview?

    2) any unexpected surprise I can face disclosing it during the interview process?

     

    Anything else I need to know, need to be aware of and think about for the next 4 weeks till our interview date?

     

    those in similar situation, could you please share how you've handled it ?

    Thank you for the helpful information!

    I've been doing a lot of research too, it's really not fair that there are people who received SSN card 1-2 days after EAD (some people even got it before EAD) and also there are others who didn't receive it until almost 3 weeks later...

     

    I also found this PDF on the USCIS website, It seems like we should expect it within 7 business days after receiving EAD.

    It will have been 7 business days on Monday after I received mine so I think I'm gonna go to SSA to apply in person. (Because I'm pretty sure USCIS did not apply for my SSN -_- )

    thanks for the flyer, I will print this. When I applied for my wife's SSN in person luckily a more senior member was there to assist the officer. The one I talked to was nice, but had no idea how to handle a K1 (fiancee) visa situation.

     

    Bringing this will help to educate them how to do their job and stop arguing with us :)

     

    See my post just above. They messed up one of the children's card and the AP authorization is not stated on it...I suspect the SSN application will not happen by itself either ;)

    Likely I had one of those druids review my file with 1 week of experience :D

    a very interesting thing happened. wife and child #1 received AP/EAD combo card. child #2 also approved on both cases but received EAD card stating no re-entry allowed.

     

    I went back to look at the letters which came through the mail and I remembered for one person it was not the same. Child #2 had 2 separate letters one for EAD and one for AP approval, however those who received a combo card their approval letter for EAD stated combo approval, while child #2's EAD approval letter just addressed EAD.

     

    Will she receive a separate AP card now in the mail due to some USCIS processing error ?

    She has been approved for AP, but she has not received a combo card, which is very strange.

     

    Anyone has experienced this before and if yes, what was the outcome / solution ?

    2 weeks after receiving?!😱 oh wow... I guess I'm gonna have to tough it out again. Thanks anyways!

    look up this thread. 

     

    most people get it 1-2 weeks after EAD arrived. If you don't get it by 3 weeks go to the local SS office and they can look it up if it's been processed. 

    If not processed yet in the system, I would just apply on the spot.

     

    I am in the same shoes with you. EAD is coming on 1/11 Saturday and I will stick it out till Feb 1. If by then not received, I will apply in person in an SS office.

    she doesnt know how to drive lol

    getting a local driver's license has been a challenge for mine too. she has a valid Thai license, which at least she can use to drive. When first she took the DMV test she failed the max 8 questions around question 12. After that she admitted she didn't understand the  English for most questions. I purchased her an oregon DMV online test, which had a predicted probability to pass the knowledge test and I told her she cannot go again to test until the probability is at 85%. When she reached it (~1.5 months practicing and learning mostly English words), she passed immediately. Now we are waiting for her work authorization card to arrive (approved just Jan 3rd) and with that we can go back, prove her legal presence and then she will be allowed to take the road test, which will be the final step to get her a local driver's license. ....with her married name on it, so finally we can live normal.

     

    It's been a journey for sure :)
