Thanks a lot for your great advise.

Hi All,

 

Same as some of you, I also received 48 month extension letter (Notice Date : April 5, 2023)
No Biometric appointment, nor waiver has received yet.

Seems like a pretty long wait for Texas Service Center as well.

If you filed taxes jointly, make sure to include tax return trascripts (downloadable from IRS website for free).

 

If credit card shows both names on statements, then send those statements in, covering the 2 year period. Send full statements with nothing redacted.

 

If you have joint Costco memberships, Amazon Prime household, Netflix family plan, National Parks passes in both names - include all of those.

 

Provide as much as you can.

 

Leases in both names, mortgages in both names.

It's also a good idea to at least have a joint savings account so you and your spouse can built some savings towards common goals such as downpayment, emergency fund etc.

 

Don't forget about well annotated photos of both of you with friends and family, flight boarding passes, hotel reservations etc etc.

 

Be creative.

 

Good luck!

 

 

 

 

Thanks a lot for your great advise. 

We will try sending as many as evidences as possible. (Costco memberships are good idea)

This is normal. It's been two years. USCIS needs fresh evidence, that's all. Treat it as a positive sign. Your case may get approved fast without interview if you send a lot of good marital evidence. If you don't use this opportunity to strengthen the case, then yes, you'll likely get interview / NOID etc.

I hope it is a positive sign as you said. 
I will try sending the updated evidences such as life insurance and our drivers license with same residential addresses. 

Don’t have joint account, but I have a family credit card under my husband.

Do you think these are good evidence?

Hi 

After 2 years wait, I just received RFE letter from USCIS today.(Sep 12, 2024)

They need more evidence of our marriage. 

So sad🤔.........

Was there a long wait time between the time that you arrived and the time that your interview started?  

 

 

Hi TandCaludia, 

We arrived about 40 mins earlier, so we waited in a car as we were not allowed to go inside the office until 15 mins before the interview time. 

After we went inside, we had to wait about 15-20 mins till our number was called.  

Only limited numbers of people were in the office.

Hi Guys, 

I’ve been waiting for my interview to be scheduled since my status change in March. 
How long do we need to wait our interview to be scheduled?

Any ideas?  
 

Hi guys, 

I finally received an interview schedule letter from USCIS Nashville Field Office. 

My interview is scheduled on Nov 24th!

Your medical is valid as long as it was NOT over a year old when you filed! If your medical happens to expire while awaiting adjudication it's no big deal. You won't have to retake the medical, provided you took all the vaccinations you were supposed too before you left your country.

Thanks Sarge! What a relief 😊!

My medical examination was taken 5 months before when I filed AOS.

And I’ve also taken all the vaccinations.

Now I just need my interview to be scheduled. 

Hi guys, 

I've been waiting for my interview to be scheduled since ASC opened in mid July, but no news yet.

My health examination was taken last Sep 17th, exactly a year ago, so I am worried that I would

have to get another health examination again. 

Or do USCIS waive re-taking medical examination due to COVID pandemic?

Any ideas?
