    I-751 November 2011 Filers

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Sky*

    SKY*..................11/18/11........11/22/11.......01/20/12........--/--/--....(EARLY BIO 1/11/12)

    Yayy, I got the bio done early. I walked in. My local office in Norfolk, VA is awesome. I went there around 2.30p, no line at all.

    The security person was very nice. The second person I talked to was the one who did my bio.

    I went in & got out in less than 15 minutes.

    Awesome just like the last 2 two years. (Background info: I DID walk in for my AOS bio at the same local office as well)

    Thanks IstanBulls, Marie09, laura and kyle and everyone here, without you guys I would never get all this done by myself. Thanks for your support. Appreciate it!! :star: :star: :star:

    YAY!!!! Congrats Sky!!! I wanna know details as we will be interviewing in Norfolk too!!! I'm so happy for you!!! :) DETAILS DETAILS!!!

    Laura and Kyle, it's different place from the Norfolk application center.. FYI

    I thought it would be the same place.. not very far from each other..

    Nothing to worry about tho, it went so easy for us. Our interviewer was fairly nice. He asked us to raise our right hands and would tell him all truth.

    So, he went thru my files before he asked me all questions. Begin with our address, our name, all questions that you should be able to answer "NO", how we've met. He asked me to give him bank statement of our joint account, lease agreement , affidavit, wedding photo (which we don't have them).

    So I was freaked out by that time, b/c I didn't have lease agreement , affidavit, wedding photo. But my hubby told him why we don't have it at this time.

    Both of us love shooting, just to begin with. So when my hubby explained him how he fall for me, it's b/c I love shooting competitively. We later found out that my interviewer has 20 guns in his collection.. so we spent a lil bit time talking about that..

    Eventually, he said "your application is approved" just make sure that we will have more evidence next time we apply for 10 yrs green card.. e.g. affidavit, photos, bills under our names, lease agreement, photo of us with our family.. and so on.

    At the end of my interview, I curiously asked him "Is it true that you really know which couple's is legitimately married in couple minutes you have first met them?" and he said yes, he told us that he could tell from body language and the way they talked to each other.

    good luck all November filers!! I'll keep my finger cross for you!!

    First of all, thank you guys so much. I got a great news! I just received email stated "Card Production Ordered" Hoorayyyy!!

    Hey Sky,

    Oh my gosh that's so awful over the break in. You poor things that's really rough.

    Congrats on your interview letter though. If I were you I would definitely order a replacement birth cert for your hubby right away. They're usually pretty fast. My hubby's took a week and mine only took about 10 days (from England!) So i'm sure you can get it in time. You might want to order replacement tax transcripts too. Do you have a police report of the theft? I would definitely take that with you to the interview just in case you're missing something.

    Good Luck & fingers crossed on the replacements arriving fast...

    I'm sure your EAD will be ordered soon - mine came about 2 weeks after the interview letter...

    Marie09,

    I just got an email said "Card Production Ordered" It's just right after you mentioned it.

    My hubby and I are looking for the fastest and cost-efficient way to get the replacement of his birth certificate right now. He just told me that he have done it before so I don't need to be worried about that. However, I got all his documents scanned and stored in our email. Worst case, if we can't get the replacement back in time. We might just show the copy together with police report. I will definitely bring the police report with me. Thanks ;)

    Wow that's really rough, I'm so sorry :( I think Marie is right though, make sure you get a police report to bring to the interview with you!!

    I hope everyone's progress is going well in this thread :) You guys should be done by March since us October filers are finishing up in early Feb with our interviews! :thumbs:

    Rebecca & Phil,

    It was scary to know that someone might want to get into our house and get what they want anytime. I'm still glad that no one get hurts. Everything we've lost, we probably buy the new one easily, but if something happen with our life, there's no replacement for that.

    Anyway, my interview date is on Feb 17 so I hope that I could get everything done before the end of Feb. Keep your finger crossed for me ;) Thanks again.

    Hi Sky! Congratulations on receiving your interview letter! I am also going through the Norfolk, VA office. I'm very excited to hear how it went for you! I'm trying to be patient waiting for a biometrics letter... feels like it is taking a long time compared to others. I'm in Richmond. :)

    I'm sorry about your place being broken into. I don't know your particular situation, but know that you can get a replacement Birth Certificate in VA in person (walk-in) in Richmond, VA. I don't know if you would be able to make it here or not. The other option is to mail off for it, which you have plenty of time to do. Here is the website address in case you didn't know. http://www.vdh.state.va.us/Vital_Records/index.htm

    Laura

    Laura & Kyle,

    It's good to know that you will go through Norfolk office. They are nice people, quick and get things done so easy. It took me 15 mins for the whole biometrics things. Probably, it's gonna take you to drive 2 hrs just to get that 15 mins done. Well, hope you will get your bio letter very soon!

    Regarding the replacement of my hubby's birth certificate, he was born in Rhode Island so we definitely won't be able to do the walk-in. The only option we have right now is mailing it. We have around 3 weeks to get it done.I can only hope that we have enough time to get it right before the interview.

    Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it.

    Guys!!! I just got interview letter today!! Yay!!!!!

    I'm so excited but also worried about my hubby documents.

    Our apartment was broken in. My laptop was stolen. His whole set of important documents like Birth Cert. / Tax transcript/ W-2/ DD214 all gone.

    They took our safe box and a bunch of our stuff. They got in by window and walked out the back door.

    I'm worried about what I'm gonna do. I have start doing something unless it will run out of time.

    I know that he has to request a new copy of all his documents. and yup it probably gonna take some time.

    Anyway, my interview date is Feb 17, 2010. at 11 am Norfolk office.

    Is it strange that I even got my interview before EAD? It seems like everyone got it exactly like that.

    Well, be safe and take care guys.

    Thanks for keeping me company.
