Hello wanted to give an update on our interview Wednesday LA-San Fernando Valley office

It was as easy and simple as it could of gone. We received our appointment letter in Feb. We waited for about 30mins before we were called in to our appointment. I had pictures, taxes, health insurance and other supporting documents and he didn't ask for any of it. He literally just said this is more of a formality and that we  have a strong case. The only thing he asked to see was our original BC and marriage certificate. He asked my husband for his parents name. Gave us information on 10 yr GC and sent us on our way. We must of been in there for about 8 minutes and 5 of those minutes was him just giving us info on GC vs US citizenship

FYI we finally received an update today

USCIS

Same boat here. It’s all about whether things actuallY open on May 3. And it’s why I have been wondering on here for the last few weeks if different States will open offices at different times?  For example, if Trump says “open the Federal offices” is it still possible that Georgia opens right away but California stays closed for another two months?

Per the website today

USCIS plans to begin reopening our offices on May 4,

Wondering if this has happened to anyone else..

We applied for AOS !-485/765/131. Had biometrics appointment February 20th to which the old website then updated to " As of February 20th, your fingerprints have been applied to your case.."

yesterday i received a case status update but only for the I-131 and when we checked it it said " As of March 14th, your fingerprints have been applied to your case"..the same exact thing with the only difference being the date

I thought it was odd that the date changed..I'm hoping someone else's fingerprints weren't applied to our case??

I wouldn’t drive/park around there. Much easier (cheaper and quicker) to drive and park on the outskirts (such as Stanmore) and then catch the tube.

Thanks!

Hi,

My fiance is considering driving to his interview appointment since it's cheaper and i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with parking/driving?

Thanks!

Yes. At the clinic in London they will want a short report from his GP about the asthma. When diagnosed, treatment, medications taken, and prognosis.  

 

Might as well throw in comments on the surgeries if he had actual surgery to repair...like pins or something more complicated than putting a cast on it. Date, medical description of the broken bits, fully recovered, etc.

 

While you're at it, do make sure he has the immunizations he will need for AOS done before he goes to his medical.

 

MMR

Tetanus/Diptheria in the last 10 years

Current season flu shot (get at Boots or a grocery store clinic)

and a history of having had chickenpox (they take your word for it)

 

Thanks, I guess his GP office is asking for 65GBP to provide the letter...Do you know if that is the norm?

Is this for a K-1?  He cannot use documents from his GP in lieu of the exam by a panel physician, if that’s what you’re asking.

Yes K-1..and no, he has his medical appointment scheduled with Knightsbridge. This is more of a question in regards to what he needs to take INTO the medical appointment

Hi my partner has the Patient Care Summary that lists Personal Info,immunizations, Medications, Allergies..will this suffice?

Also, he has asthma and has had minor outpatient surgeries in the past (ie. broken wrist, broken ankle) does he need a letter from his GP? If so any ideas of what it should state?

Thank you

Thank you!

I have my interview tomorrow and have the original affidavit and a copy - however, as the original is signed in black ink and the photocopier used was a really good one, the original and the copy are identical - it’s impossible to tell which one actually is the original 😆🤷🏻‍♀️ - but I don’t think it really matters. I’ll be giving them both and they can look at/take whichever they want 🙃.

Hi Any update on whether it mattered if it was original or not?

Thanks!

Case number assigned :)))))

OK.... First of all CONGRATS!!!    They received my RFE response on 9/9 and I am still waiting for my NOA2.  Do you feel it is just a coincidence that you were approved the day after you called?  The reason I am asking is that I have been tempted to call to check on my status but it has yet to be 30 days since they received my response.  It seems I have seen others accounts here on the forum where people have called to check on the status and ironically get some movement on their case within a day or two.  I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you!! im not sure..she did ask for my information and mentioned they take note when someone calls

honestly, i wouldn't hurt to call and check in.

i was expecting to get someone on the phone and them be annoyed since im sure they get a million calls regarding information that is already on the website. But not every case gets updated on the website and the lady who took my phone call was nice

Just wanted to give everyone my experience with the dreadful RFE...

USCIS received my response 9/10 I received an email with the update and the website had shown an update (as did with the NOA1 and RFE)..it  was by far the most anxiety inducing wait i've ever had.

Two weeks later i followed up with a call to USCIS, sept 24. I think i chose the option of 'check case status' and 'do not have my receipt number', it then says it will connect you with someone and then you have the option of entering your receipt number (which i did). A very nice lady answered and didn't give me any updates besides the one that i had, which is that my response had been received. She mentioned it could take up to 60 days. 4 days later i received my approved NOA2(!!!), I did not get an email update nor did the website ever update. My NOA2 was approved a day after i had called, Sept 25
