Glad to hear that. Our field office also SJ. My husband and I are having our interviews on 6/21. We are having our international trip after couple of weeks. Would like to know more about oath ceremony. I heard that they are having oath ceremony on every other Fridays. If you don’t mind, can you plz share the oath ceremony timings at SJ? Are they having 2 or 3 times of oath in a same day? Both of our interviews are scheduled for 9 am and 9:50 am. If everything goes well, we are planning to request the officer for the same day oath. Is it possible for us to have the same day oath if the officer allows us. Please share your thoughts. Thank you.

This is my experience, I also knew SK do every other Friday Oath Ceremony. They do it in the parking lot, so you arrived, they guide you through one of the lines… always inside the car, someone approaches to your car and ask for the Oath letter… what they do is, they let a group of around 20 people get out of the car, do the Oath and when you are done they give you your certificate and that all! 
very easy and smooth process

Hi Everyone! 
I filed N400 online on 03/07, only a month before my 3 year GC anniversary!

Hi everyone!!!

trying to utilize my original post to make it easier!!

on April 10th I got my interview notice right after turning three years of GC holder, 

Interview was held on May 17, Santa Clara Field Office (went with my Attorney) It took only 10 minutes and it was super easy and the Officer was super nice!!! At the end of the interview she said; oh! Do you have any travel plans for the next few weeks??? Because we have an Oath Ceremony next Friday! Would you like to take it next Friday? Gosh!!! Of course I said yes!!! 
Oath Ceremony: May 24th 2024!

I still can’t believe it!!! 

I came to this Country almost 10 years ago my whole file was like 4 inches thick!!!

from L-1A work visa to many works permits to a pending AOS to an approved VAWA to a GC and Now a new U.S. Citizen.

Even if I was eligible to file for VAWA after 3 years, I filed through my husband (second marriage) 

Best for everyone!

I applied on 3/14 night so 3/15 for USCIS record. I just received the interview schedule notice today for my interview on 5/14, exactly 6 weeks from now. I think Emma did not lie to me.

May I ask, what did you ask her? Like how?

Congrats!!! Great news - I'm sure you're feeling great now after it's over! This gives me hope - my interview was in Jan, still no update. 

You are going to get it soon!! But if you don’t hear from them after the 120 days post interview date, contact your congressperson for help!!

Did you say you remarried before 360 was approved, or have I misunderstood your statement?

I remarried almost a year after my I360 was approved 😊

Hello all,

 

Does can I still use an expired approved vawa to apply for ead c31 renewal? I saw there is a validity period. Or it doesn't matter

Are you talking about the deferred action??? That comes with the approval letter... good for 15 months???

On 10/6/2020 at 5:30 PM, Ylx said:

Hi there thank you!.. Well happens my ead will expire in March 2021.. So is not even a year..

Plus Im still gathering info how to do the knowledge test so by the time I finally do everything would be less for the ead to be good therefore the DL.

Btw Have you had your interview yet?

I am still waiting for my interview, it was scheduled back in April but due to the COVID-19 situation... got canceled... so now patiently waiting, my VAWA was approved May 2019, Filled Nov 2017

how about you?

Hi family! Hope everybody is doing ok and more approvals in our way!

I have a question I live in California I already have my EAD C31 and due on march 2021 and right now im preparing my stuff for the renewal ( also know there is a delay from USCIS on deliver the renewal cards), I'm looking for have my driver license ( btw im 40 and never had driver before so will be interesting the driving school), so as in california we have the AB60 law ( allow illegal aliens to have a DL)  Im wandering if I can apply under that law because if I use my EAD as a proof of legal document my DL will be valid only until my EAD Expire... What you guys recommend ? THX

Hi There! I am from CA too, try to get the regular DL... I have been getting that one, even if I have to renew it every single year!!

I pray so for y'all waiting but honestly..I don't think sending in updated medicals will have any influence especially when they didn't ask for it..also the trend I see they approve without interview are mostly i485 petitions filed after VAWA approval..not together...others can confirm it here..💁but I'm not one to discourage, so if you feel strongly about it, by all means send it in!👍

Thank you so much as always!!! God bless you

What is your timeline?

I 360 filled Nov 2017

I 360 approved May 2019 (RFE filled)

my I485 is from my marriage back in June 2016,  interview scheduled April 2020 right a the time of the shutdown.

Filling office San Francisco, CA... my file was transferred to San Jose office to expedite the process 😀

Since it was cancelled because of the pandemic, I doubt they'll do anything since obviously the pandemic is still very much around! However you can contact them to be reassured..maybe they'll just approve the petition without interview..who knows? That's my prayer for all of you waiting!😊🙏

Well, I am hoping the same... no interview but... my medicals are expired and my new medicals were good for my interview time... but not now, I have thought many times to send them without RFE... but not sure about it 

today I submitted a e-request and they replied 😳 saying “They input a request for an interview in their system “ first time ever they do that... might be a general reply...

I am so tempted to update my medicals and mail it or contact them trough my congressperson...

Hi everyone!

question... I had my interview scheduled back in April, but because of the Pandemic, got cancel so I have not heard from them since the reopening back in June, I am waiting for the interview re-schedule. 

Should I contact my congressperson? 

thanks!! stay safe :) 

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if offices start rescheduling appointment? If they are open again?

Hi everyone!!! Hope you guys are safe!

 I need some advice....I had my AOS interview scheduled mid April... medicals done right before lockdown, when I got the notice... but by the time I might get the rescheduled Medicals will be expired ☹️
I am thinking to mail it with a cover letter... but I am not sure if mail it to Vermont or to my officer... 

@sandranj @Stillwinning!!!😊 @TBoneTXeveryone???

Stay safe!!!

Go to the AOS thread, there are at least 4 recent threads where this occurred.  

I will, thanks 😊

Excellent.  You're in legal status now as you wait for your AOS interview.  Some folks are actually having the interview requirement waived apparently.

Hi there! Did you see or know anyone waiting for AOS interview and getting it waived? I was about to have mine one mid April... but I am just waiting for the reschedule appointment 🤨

You are applying c31 that is a different category.

I am asking for c9 timeline

Thanks

I filled renewal EAD + AP Feb 2020, Vermont, got approved card on hand last week... C09p

I would say... get your congressperson involved if you have any other form outside processing time

If so, then nice. Just that I was never asked to go for anyother biometrics since 2017 considering you said it's good for only 15 months!💁 anyways I hope you get scheduled real soon. Good luck dear and Godbless!🙏

Thank you!!! It’s coming soon!!!

12 minutes ago, Stillwinning!!!😊 said:

Are you serious? First and Last time I did any biometrics was in 2017💁.wow!

Yep, I have been doing some researching and apparently when they asked to re do it, speed up your case so 🤞🤞 plus they transferred my case to my next other city that is much faster to my original one!!!!
