Unoriginal

Back in 2018, my then fiancé was denied exiting the country because she did not have a travel authority. At the time she was an employee of her LGU.  We were to take a short trip to Thailand but they would not let her through passport control without the travel authority.  She feels that if she had not stated that she was a gov't employee there would have been no problem.  After researching the issue afterwards, it seems that it was not required, but as with all things in the Philippines, the rules depend on the one applying them.  Just food for thought.

Is anyone who filed for AOS in January getting an interview ??

 

I have  been reviewing the timelines of a lot of December, January, February AOS filers.   It appears to me that everyone is getting to the same point of receiving their EAD's and AP but I don't see anyone getting an interview or their green card (except folks adjusting from K-1 who had interview overseas and their US interview can be waived).    With the news of a big layoff soon hitting USCIS are we going to all be in limbo for a long time or is the i-485 interview log-jam clearing and it's not apparent in the timelines yet??

My wife has her interview scheduled for Aug 13th.  Fortunately our local office doesn't seem the have the volume/lead times that others do.

Oh no. How did you found out?

Was mailed a letter by USCIS,  she got excited thinking it might have been an interview notice haha.

Found out today that, a month after they were taken, my wife's fingerprints weren't usable and have to be retaken. Frustrating...

A conditional permanent resident should have the same rights as a non conditional, provided that the conditions continue to be met.
