Uscis is not very vigilant in updating there accounts. No one can tell how it is updated. Sometimes persons receive there documents and it's still not updated.

i spoke too soon. i just checked and the doc was there - interview is march 12

Good to hear that you got interview. You will receive a letter by mail within one month. To call them is waste of time coz they will not gonna tell anything about your interview according to there guidelines. so wait you will gonna get it by usps soon in your mailbox. 

I was actually talking about the notice being posted to the MyUSCIS account.  It seems as if it will get there at some point, i just wasnt sure how quickly it gets updated

Got a notice that the interview was scheduled but the documents tab doesnt have a doc yet.  Any idea of the usual delay between notice and the doc being uploaded?  

Also is the website updated at anytime or at a particular time on a daily schedule?

Can I call to get the interview date, would the customer service person know?

I have a pretty complex tax situation by owning multiple businesses - it usually takes a couple months to get all the documents in order

I will file by the 15th Apr but prob not by the 15th Feb

The deadline is April 15th, there is nothing stopping you from filing in January!!

We will be eligible to file the N400 on Feb19th 2013 based on marriage to a US citizen.

The question is, we wont have filed 3 years of taxes by then (we have filed 2010 and 2011 but 2012 is not due by the date we want to file the N400).

Is that a big issue? Do they really need 2012 taxes seeing that it will not even be required by the IRS until Apr 15 2013?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Card Received 11/15

I got a new text/email yesterday from the USCIS website

"The USPS reported that they picked up mail from USCIS containing your new card on November 13, 2012. You should receive your new card within 7 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, please call our customer service at 1-800-375-5283"

It just did this morning! And I got the text this morning at the same time. One of the few times the mail worked before the internet.

Hi DSMIAMI, congratulations! Did your case status update online at all?

Although I signed up for the text notification, we got a letter in the mail today with the approval.

Approved date 11/04/12.

Good luck to everyone else who filed in February

I am angry for you. They may have just been doing their job but in general CBP folks are a*holes.

Maybe its the high stress nature of their jobs, maybe its the fact that they have a god complex, maybe they feel inadequate that their purpose in life is stamping passports .

We put up with too much ####### from them because they hold our fate in our hands. We have to be all 'Yes sir" and "no sir" and be nice to them although they treat us and our loved ones like lesser beings.

f' em.

Would appreciate if someone could add our Biometrics appt: 3/23 - DSMIAMI

Updating dsmiami's NOA date

Thanks - I tried but messed it up. Appreciate the help

NOA Date 2/21 DSMIAMI

Sent out I-751 today in the mail.

Please add me to the list if you'd like -I tried to add myself but could not get the formatting to work.

I submitted an I-30 for my mother on 11/17.

Submitted 11/17

Approved 04/27

I know it is not a spouse I-30, but this is just an FYI in case it helps you guys track the approval processing times.

With us getting the CR1 approved, I probably will start checking these boards less frequently as my wife moves to the US next month (and we will probably get super busy).

So, I'd just like to say thanks to all the folks who have replied to all my questions and who took the initiative to become the leaders of the group (esp on the Sept I-30 filer thread, the Jan-Mar NVC thread & the April/May Interview thread) - you know who you are! Thanks a lot.

Additionally, the how-to guides on this website were amazing and helped us to cut costs tremendously.

I hope everything works out for everyone here. Thanks again.

Add our names to the list of visa approvals today!

My wife had her interview today. It took all of five minutes and went really well.

They did not ask to see any additional info apart from what was initially submitted.

Visa approved - see attached.

Sachi I'm missing in this list too

Question: Nowhere on the appointment letter does it say that you are allowed to bring your spouse. Can I just show up and assume I will be allowed into the process?

The April interview thread is not as active as this one. How about throwing in the April interviewees on this list - Apr 19th for us.

If I arrive in the US on Monday, can I go to the SS office on Tuesday to apply for the SS number?

Or do I physically need my Green Card in order to apply at the local SS office?

If you check that box then a couple of weeks after arrival here in the US you'll receive your new SS card

Thanks for the reply... I thought it had gotten lost with all the congratulations messages flying through the board

There was a checkbox on the DS230 that asked if you wanted a SS#

Will a SS# be issued automatically after the approval or do I still need to go through the process of applying

I was not sure

Anyone have an interview checklist of info besides the checklist sent by the NVC?

i.e. Additional supporting info

I was going over what I needed to bring to the interview and was reading through my letter.

Anyone know what "Correspondence Instructions" refer to? (see attached image)

I assumed it meant the steps I need to follow that were in the letter itself, but wanted to make sure.

Interview on April 19/7:30 AM/Port-of-Spain Trinidad

Waited for a long time after the case complete in early Feb.
