When to follow up N400 approval after the interview? I have been interviewied last 2 months but my case doesn’t have any movement. Thank you for the answers.

Hello!

Im going to file for citizenship this coming November, but my removal of conditions is still on going and I lost my letter of extension for my green card. Is it a requirement for filing of citizenship? 

Hi @Aziang, just wanna ask on how many days you got your visa after interview?

Hello my daughter is also a minor child, did you request to expedite for the interview? We receive the notification with NVC last July 2020 but no update till now 

Are they doing interview now at Manila US Embassy? My daughter who is 11 year old petition under IR2 has been DQ last July 2020. How long should we wait for her to be scheduled for interview?

Thank you so much for your answers.

I just received an email from NVc that my under age daughter has just beed DQ. How long does the interview usually takes now? Her embassy is in Manila. Thank you for the answer.

No. and they don't accept mail anymore as of June 1st. There's no need to send them the documents. You bring the originals to the interview that's a requirement.

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone, 

We just finished doing DS-260 and uploading all the required documents. So far we haven’t receive any corrections or confirmation yet.  Do we also need to mail the documents to NVC? Thank you for your answers. 

Hi. My daughter who is petitioned by my US Citizen husband as step daughter was recently approved for IR2 visa and were now at NVC processing. My question is can my mother (her legal guardian) in the Philippines can accompany her going here in the US as tourist? Applying my mother for a tourist visa is a good idea? I cant go to the Philippines since Im working. Thank you for the answers.

Hi VJ team, 

Asking for a friend hope you can help me with this. My aunt petition her son under F2b 10 years ago and already have the welcome letter from NVC today. However she dont have work and her other son is willing to be her joint sponsor. question is does she still has to fill out affidavit of support or only the joint sponsor? she hasn’t been working for a long time thus no source of income. Thank you so much for the answers. 

I just had my green card and new job here in US. Do I need a tax attorney Or accountants to fill out W4/ Employees withholding certificate? I don’t really know how to fill out those forms. Thank you for the answers

I was wondering what photo do they use for the green card? is it the one that is on the visa?

Please don't tell me it's the one they took at POE!

The one they took during biometrics

My interview in is a week, I'm excited and anxious here. 
I'm married to my spouse almost 3 years now, he's a Air Force service member. We got ordered to Little Rock AR so it has been very stressful with finding a new home, moving and getting everything I need for the interview. 

So far I have gathered, 
- Our new home lease.
- Joint Bank accounts.
- Joint Credit cards.
- Car insurance.
- Health insurance.
- Phone account.

Our pictures with friends and family, our tickets traveled to see his family and see each other when he's out training. 

Is there anything else I should prepare for my interview? What should I wear?
TIA

I think all those should be fine. Our officer asked for my original birth certificate but my mistake that I forgot all my original documents but still she accepted the photocopy. We wore business casual like we are going for a job interview.

That's scary. Glad they didn't bother you much at the airport. How did your interview go?

Our interview is in SJ office on Feb 14 at 715am. We were there by 630am and they let us in at 7am. It’s pretty fast maybe because we’re early. We were called at exactly 715am. We were just asked about our future plans and the Y/N questions in the AOS. Asked for my birth certificate original, bank joint account and rental lease agreement. The interview just took 20mins. The officer said we just have to wait 1-2 weeks. But after 5 days the status changed to New Card is being produced. My green card is expected to arrive tomorrow. 

Just to share we had our interview last Feb 14 but due to emergency I have to go back to my country 2 days after.  After a week, I used my EAD combo card going back to US, SFO airport. I just showed my EAD to the immigration, they took my picture and biometrics and escorted me to Detention office. I have to wait 30 minutes but after that they just gave me back my passport and EAD no questions asked.

My Marriage base interview was on first week of February. Interview went smoothly just basic stuff and handed me a letter saying need to review might take 120 days it’s been there week I’m getting little worried about it, if you are experiencing similar issues please share your experience

We had our marriage interview too at San Jose Field office last Feb 14, the officer said it will take 1-2 weeks for the updates. Status changed to Card was being produced after 5 days 

I just have a question, our interview will gonna be this Feb14 but I really have to go home in my country as my grandma is in critical condition. How long does the green card usually arrive once approve?

As I was telling someone how worried I was to not have a decision yet, I looked online and it said new card being produced! Anyone know generally how long it'll take for it to get here? 

Ours took 7 days

How long does it usually take for the interview notice to arrive in the mail after the "Interview Was Scheduled" update?

We received the mail after a week

To all those who will be doing I-693 here in SF, I strongly recommend Dr. MJ Takis at San Bruno. Aside from being warm and friendly, you can also get the results in just a week.

Is that correct?

I'm amazed. Do you have any idea how your case got processed so fast?

I thought the average wait time for AOS at California field offices right now is at least 1 year, yet you managed to do it in less than 6 months!

 

Yes that’s correct. We’re so glad of how our case processed. Maybe one of the reason is we didn’t have any RFE. And I’ve seen that a lot of SF filers case are moving faster now.

Is SSN coming with the card? Just a little and waiting game is gonna be over soon. I’m so thankful with VJ for all the help, save a lot of money from getting an attorney. ☺️

One of the requirements for interview is Affidavit of support or I-864. Do we need to submit it again even if it’s just four months when we submitted it? Thank you for the answers
