CONGRATS..

and where do u live here in vegas..?naka2tuwa nmn..

--so u were done on ur interview right..?i just wanna ask something..my interview date is near..is it gonna be a problem if i dont bring original copy of my birth certificate..?i really cant get original copy back in our country cuz u know there still flood in manila..and its gonna be weeks after i receive it..

--when i filed my AOS i sent them the copy of my birth certificate..just a copy..so do u think its gonna be a problem if dont have the original..?

thanks.. i live in the summerlin area.. how about u?

regarding ur bc, as others have said, if they ask for it they may issue an RFE.. but if not then it wouldn't be a problem. i have everything with me (originals/copy of every supporting docs for the I485) at the interview but the officer did not ask of any docs submitted with the I485, instead he asked of what other documentation or anything we may have together(the secondary evidences). but its still better to be prepared. goodluck on ur interview.

and have u read my post about my interview experience?? we were almost 30 minutes late for the appointment, but everything turned out fine.

yay! got my gc today! congrats to all of u! btw umagirl im also in vegas

hi to all...

i also had my interview yesterday and i thought it was going to be a disaster we got lost on our way there, and so we were late for the interview. appointment was 10:15am but we got there at 10:40. thank god everyone was nice, they still let us in. but then again after we were seated i remember we forgot our rings! i was really worried.. how stupid of us to forget that. but then we are already there so we had to stay and forget the ring. we waited and finally we were called in by an officer at 11:15 i guess. the officer only asked questions about what's on the application, the I-485 form. the name, birthday and all that stuff and the part where u answered yes or no. he also asked my husband the same thing like his name, birthday, birthplace etc. he was checking the answers on the forms. then he asked for secondary evidence we brought, we only had wedding pictures and mail addressed to both and to my name with same address. that's all we had since my husband have not been able to add me on his health insurance, no joint accounts too. we 're all done after about 15 minutes or so. i didn't take much notice of the time because i was worried about messing things up because we were late and we don't have enough evidence to show. at the end of the interview, the man, he was i guess 50 something, printed something out on the computer and let both of us sign it. when i looked at it, it was a notice to conditional permanent resident alien. he told me that i will receive my card in 4-8 weeks. yay! i was approved! after all the worries everything went out fine.

then just now i received an email from CRIS, saying card production for I485 has been ordered. gee, that was quick! to all who will have their interviews good luck! and there's nothing to worry about the interview.

CONGRATULATIONS to all who are approved on their interviews. :dance:

Jaser, when ka alis? Im leaving on January 12 via Northwest airlines. POE is LA.

Kuya Manny, Do I need to hand carry my Xray firlms? Parang wa poise naman yata. HAHAHA! I have 2 hours and 45 minutes layover. I heard daming tao sa LAX airport, kasya na ba yung time na yun to make it to my connecting flight?

hi ria, musta na sis? wow! lapit na rin alis mo. sure excited na si stephen. haha.

about dun sa xray films, ang ginawa ko nilagay ko sa luggage ko. hindi naman hiningi sa POE. yung visa packet lang ang kinuha, tama ka ni wala nga tinanong sakin. ang question lang "where's your visa packet?" yun lang. kinakabahn pa naman ako nung nakapila na ko tapos yun lang pala. whew!

happy trip!

im currently filling up my SSN application and was confused with question#3 where it asks:

Citizenship:

1.U.S Citizen

2.Legal Alien Allowed to Work

3.Legal Alien Not Allowed to Work

4.Other.

1 is obviously not the choice, but got confused with the other 3. Which one should i check now? where do i belong?

I'm on a k1 visa by the way and k1's are not allowed to work until they get EAD.

thanks for the replies everyone. looking for friends in the neighborhood.

i actually feel that now, kung neighbors lang sana tayo interesado ako e ang kaso sobrang layo ko rin nasa vegas ako.
