Make sure your spouse mail the i865 form. A lot of the people don’t know this step, we didn’t know either until much later… 

Oh nooo  I had no idea about this form! We mailed off our i751 packet today- do you think I can send the i865 separately and hope they get it around the same time?

You are required to report change of your address with uscis within 10 days of your move, not that everyone does within that timeframe but still. It's a 5 min thing to change your address online with uscis.

Your sponsor (likely your spouse) needs to mail i865 as well to report the change of address.

Oh gosh i had no idea about the 10 day rule i hope that isnt going to be an issue, I'm trying to update it online but nothing I put in for my DOS case number is being recognised, so I'm assuming the online route is a no go. thank you!

Edit: just found the online page and submitted the address change  Thank you!

Hi! I'm currently filling out my I-751 application since my 2 year conditional GC is running out mid September, we've recently moved too. Can I just put the new address on the application and assume that they'll update our address through that or should I update my address separately before sending off the application? 

Hi :). I received my greencard back in October and originally wanted to go back to the U.K. to see my parents, but realised how bad the numbers were and put it off. It’s nearly been 2 years since I’ve seen them so one one hand I would really like to go back for a while and on another I’m still on the fence about going because of the current covid numbers and risks. I shouldn’t have any problem returning to the US if I choose to go right? Also, I took my spouses last name which appears on my greencard and have yet to change my surname on my passport, anyone know if this will be an issue? thanks :)!

I filed for AOS last year in June, I’d say you’re still well within processing times, especially considering the delays due to covid. My interview should’ve been in March but was postponed and now I finally have my interview next month 16 months later from the application

As of today, my husbands AOS case changed to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" 71 days ago on April 29th and we had to send in his EAD card to have his middle fixed since they spelled it wrong and that case was updated to "Name was Updated" 22 days ago on June 17th and now nothing. Has anyone else had to wait this long or should we be calling in and getting an update?

I have been waiting since about June last year, things are going to be way slower with covid now.

USCIS has clearly told not to show up without an interview notice after COVID. I dont know who is advising these things 

This was literally a day or two before it was decided all offices were closing, people were calling USCIS offices and they were told they were still open at the time. I’m not saying people are advising currently? As for the interview letter, I received one in February for an interview for March, that’s how I knew I had an interview.

hey Sean, any update on your interview? I had a scheduled interview last March 19, sadly the office was closed. i also did not receive any mail from them..

Nope :’( reverted back to ‘ready to be scheduled an interview’ and haven’t heard anything since besides a cancellation letter, I’m going to assume it’ll be a while until I have mine rescheduled.

how do you know you have an interview when office is closed ? did you get a notice ?

This was right before offices all closing due to COVID and I received a scheduled interview date a month before, and then I received an interview cancellation letter the day before the interview, People were still being advised to go incase they didn’t have a confirmed cancellation

I have an interview this coming Tuesday, I checked the field office and it says it’s closed but haven’t received an email/vociemail/mail... I’m going to go just incase though.

You last question is of little consequence right now. Keep focused on the big picture.  Right now you need to focus on quickly getting a copy of the RFE. You need to thoroughly and promptly provide USCIS with the necessary information to satisfy the RFE within the allotted time frame..

 

Are you adjusting status, can't tell from your timeline, you should update it.

The site says they’ve received my response to the RFE ‘September 23rd’ (although I didn’t receive or send anything)
 

I checked on novemeber 26th and the i485 status back then was ‘case ready to be scheduled for an interview’? That’s why I’m confused.
 

And will fill out my timeline :). 

I checked my i485 case and before it was ‘waiting to be scheduled for an interview’ and now it’s ‘request for evidence received’ but I haven’t had any RFE through the post? Is it normal to have the status change randomly?

Hello, 

Has your case status changed to interview scheduled? 

We have the same field office.. 

Hi! Nope interview scheduled just yet, although it looks like my EAD and travel authorisation have been approved and posted!

What's your local field office?

Input your zipcode and tell us:

https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices

Maryland, Baltimore! And ooh okay thank you, was just wondering since a friend who filed a week after me got their notice in the mail today, I guess since our local field offices are different then! 

Hi! 

Just checked the online case checker and it says ‘ready to be scheduled for interview’ as of September 5th 2019, but I still haven’t had any letter in the mail, should I call up and ask or is this still well within delivery times? Or do I have to wait for another status change? Just wanted to make sure nothing got lost in the post.

This link says "There are two possible times when you may be screen for marriage (1) at the K-1 visa interview and (2) at the US border entry."

 

I wasn't married during the interview and Iwasn't registered there until after my entry, because it takes time but I have to check the dates.dates.

 

In all cases, is this something I should worry about now? How does it come up?

Even if it doesn’t come up, which it will, you must be honest in all the information you give when filing for AOS or any immigration benefit, and the fact is you were married and legally registered as married before you entered the US on your k-1 visa. Omitting information about your marriage in your home country to avoid that scrutiny to gain immigration benefits is material misrepresentation. 

If you file with your US/state marriage license it will be under misrepresentation as you will be omitting information about your original marriage license from your home country.

Religious/traditional ceremonies aren’t the same as being legally married/signing a marriage certificate, but since you entered the US after being legally registered as married in your home country that is misuse of the k-1 visa, which will most likely complicate your case.

You dont need to send originals or certified copies of anything.

Send three photocopies.

One for I485.

One for I765.

One for I131.

cool thank you :)!

Hi! I'm filing for AOS and I'm about to send off the application, am I required to submit copies of my marriage certificate with the travel authorization/EAD applications? I only have 2 certified copies, one of which will be going with the i-485, would a photocopy of one suffice if I need to send 3 copies?
