Update: Medical exam done and Interview is scheduled for January 18th.
Still no update on the EAD/AP…
Happy New Years to everyone!
Update: Had the interview today in Chicago. IO was friendly enough, he asked us to verify a few things from the application, we also brought up the fact that they had a typo when inputting my husband’s name into their system, he made a note of it and said he would have IT fix it, but it shouldn’t be an issue. He asked us very few questions, just about our wedding ceremony, how/when we met, and then if we had anything new for him that we hadn’t previously submitted. We gave our additional stuff (which included shared renter’s insurance, car insurance, health insurance, lease documents, more photos, vacation itineraries, etc). He asked to see the originals for our marriage certificate and husband’s birth certificate as well as our respective passports. And that was it! He said he didn’t see any concern or issue with our marriage and the I-130 would be approved. The 485 he said would take maybe a week or so to be approved because all the information/new documents need to be checked, but he said we can expect to see the status change for the green card within a week or so.

That is fantastic news! You are getting closer 😀 Keep us posted!
So excited and definitely will do! Hopefully everything starts moving a bit quicker now for everyone.
Trying to schedule my husband’s I-693 medical exam now - has anyone already gone through this? We were asking around about fees, and got quoted $490 - Not sure if that’s the average for everyone? I looked at other posts and it looks like it ranges from $300 - 800 which is a pretty huge range 🙃

That’s awesome! Glad that worked out for you. I tried walking intwice as I have surgery on the same day but they were very adamant. Told me I could come back after my surgery
oh wow, i’m so sorry to hear that! I honestly wasn’t expecting them to allow it so I was quite surprised they were ok with it, but we did go very early, around 7:30 AM, only two other people were there. Hope your surgery and appointment both go well!

Not sure who’s in Chicago, but has anyone tried walking in early for their bio appointment? My husband’s is 9/8 at Burbank but I need to travel on labor day weekend and want him to come with me so we’re going to try and see if they’ll allow him to complete bio today.
update: biometrics complete! he explained he was trying to do it early so he could accompany me for necessary travel and they gave him a bit of a hard time asking if his lawyer told him to come early (he explained he doesn’t have a lawyer and was just hoping they could accommodate us) and they did! so happy. His form did have his first name misspelled which he pointed out and they gave him a number to call to fix it so hopefully that doesn’t cause any issues/delays

Hi,
Need urgent help! I am the US Citizen, - my husband is canadian and in the US currently on a TN-work visa. We just filed the i-130/AOS concurrent package this past week to chicago lockbox on june 29. Received UPS delivery confirmation on june 30 but no receipt notice from USCIS.
Realized we made one minor mistake. At the time of filing, I was an unemployed student so we had a joint sponsor complete the i-864 affidavit of support (my father/his father-in-law). But I see on the USCIS site it says even if you have a joint sponsor, the petitioner must still submit an i-864 along with whoever is the joint sponsor. Is there any way I can submit my i-864 now? I don’t want them to reject the whole thing because of this - should I submit the form now (late/separate from whole package) or wait til receipt from UCIS and then contact them about it?
Not sure how to proceed. Thanks in advance!

Should I reach out online about the missing I-864 I didn’t submit? I also read online that contacting USCIS prolongs your case so I’m just debating between whether I should be proactive about it or wait for them to send RFE. (Honestly ok with it taking a little longer, I’m just worried they might outright reject because one piece is missing)

@SMBH I do not think that the whole filing will be rejected. (Though, it's possible). Most likely, you will get an RFE down the line asking you to submit your I-864. I would just wait for the RFE. Either way, you will know soon enough if you included the G-1145 form to get a text notification.
Thank you for the reply! I did include the g1145 - is there any way to send them additional forms or explain what happened before they reject it or before they send an RFE? I’d rather send now then wait months, possibly delaying it longer or even being rejected. I tried calling the USCIS # but couldn’t connect with a human

June 2021 AOS Filers

Hi, congrats on the interview! Sorry, forgot to update
So we had our interview and similar to yours it was brief, didn’t really ask us any questions, and didn’t give an official approval on the spot - just said we should expect an update online within a week - the interview was jan 18. On jan 19, status changed to “case approved” - on Jan 22, status changed to card was produced and then later to “card was picked up by USPS” -
I don’t remember the exact date we received the green card in the mail but it was just a couple of days later maybe Jan 25 or 26th.
Over all it was a smooth process and I’m so glad we’re done for the next two years at least. Hope you have an update soon!! Let us know if you hear back!
