More people get approved at interview than dont.... as for your letter it is very unlikely that the mis-info line will be able to help you get another copy... you could try making an infopass appointment as they may be able to get you a copy....

I will try for the info pass appointment. The information I received from USCIS was that I didn't need the actual letter as long as I had the receipt number. Then again the woman I spoke to really didn't seem that informed.

Husband received interview date 3/07/07 which got us very excited. But now that I'm doing a little more research on this site, I'm thinking that it's not such a great thing. I can't seem to find anyone who had an interview and didn't have to deal with the FBI name check. Please someone tell me I'm wrong and they could very well approve the AOS at the interview.

Oh yeah, anyone else stupid enough to accidentally shred your interview letter? (Yeah, I didn't think so). I'm gonna start calling tomorrow morning. I've had pretty good luck getting through to a live person in the past. I'm hoping they can resend the letter.

I talked to a USCIS guy and he said that if there was a place for it, then it wouldn't hurt. Did anyone else notorize the I-485???

My husband went to the biometrics appt. by himself, I don't remember him bringing back the original notice. He swears they never gave him anything. Of course now I'm frantically looking thru his stuff.

I actually got thru to a live person this morning using the 800 #. He was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions and even joking around a bit. I'll try my luck again tomorrow and ask about the biometrics.

When downloading the forms needed I just went for the I-134 Affidavit of Support that I had originally filed with the K-1. Any chance I can use that instead of the I-864? Only asking b/c I just had it notorized.

Also my husband went for the full medical as there were no records to be had from Cuba. He brought the

I-693 to the Civil Surgeon (what a scam that is) they did the exam & vaccinations. He came back for the TB and HIV stats. The nurse handed him a sealed envelope with what I'm assuming is the filled out I-693 and his results. They told him not to open it, and just send it in with his AOS. Seems kinda weird to me.

We filed for the EAD but it was too late, his visa had just expired. But they sent him a letter telling him to come for his biometrics. He went on his own, got photographed and fingerprinted but they didn't give him any proof, no letter nothing saying it had been done. I figure that's the $70 biometrics fee I'm paying with the AOS fee, right?

Also, it's been over 6 mos since my husband arrived and 4 mos since our wedding. Should we even bother to try and file for another EAD? Or is that just throwing away our money since he was denied already.

Ugh, just don't want to get anything wrong.

I'm just looking at the letter sent by CSC on Feb 2, 2005: This is a typed letter with a USCIS seal and the Dept of Homeland Security CSC address, but not at all like the NOA1 whcich of course is on the embossed paper and says I-797, NOA.

This letter is addressed to me and says:

Approved- A final decision has been make in your case. Your case has been forwarded to the NVC. Please send any further correspondence to the following address: NVC, etc, etc.

Wondering if this could be considered my NOA2? Anyone have a similar experience?

I posted answer to a similar thread a few hours ago:

A copy of NOA2 form is a required document for the AOS you may get an RFE for a copy of that form. Did you move during the process?

To replace it is a $200 fee and you will file form I-824 to the service center that the original petition was filed at.

I-824

I haven't moved in 11 years, there's just no record that we've been approved. I'm going to try to call the service center before actually spending $200 for their mistake. Talk about frustrating!

I'm filing for the AOS, but we never received the NOA2. In fact I had to call repeatedly before someone told me our case had been forwarded to the NVC, that was in February 05. I actually have a copy of that letter, but it is not an official NOA2. I of course will submit it with the paperwork, but do you think it's enough?

This was an email I received on OCTOBER 30, 2006 in response to me checking my case status on line!!!

In Oct 04 my fiance (now husband) received a call that his interview needed to be scheduled at the Embassy in Cuba. His Visa was approved in 2/06 (Cubans kept asking for more information). He arrived 04/06 and we married 06/06 and he got his SS card the next week.

I'm really upset over the idea I have to spend an extra $200 for their mistake. Not to mention the extra time being wasted. Any ideas, thoughts or advice?? Thanks
