My husband had his Oath Ceremony on March 16 in Montgomery, AL  It was literally a drive thru ceremony and he was so disappointed...

We sat in our car while a man in khaki shorts, shirt and ball cap handed him a clipboard with the Oath on it - he read it out and they handed him the certificate, said congratulations and we drove away...  At least I got to be with him - and yes, I cried happy tears  --  but this is a BIG deal and Covid stole it from him.  We're happy it's all over with.

They will ask you to go over questions that were on your application, and you can give them any new information that you have since filing... I used my marriage license to get my husband added onto my bank account and onto some of the utilities. Get what you can before the interview. I'm sure others will chime in soon with more advice -- but don't freak... our AOS interview lasted about 15 minutes

Wish she would have let us know a few months sooner..... She never really talked about it until school was almost over.

Sorry - I edited her birthday..... she was born in 94 not 92 -- she would kill me if she knew I added two years to her age! LOL

We married January 20, 2011 - her birthday is June 18, 1994.

She is now 21 and unmarried

I've read a lot of posts on a lot of different sites, and I'm still not entirely sure which category we fall into.....

My husband and I married in 2011 and he immigrated to the US and now has his 10 yr card. At that time, his daughter was 16 and still in school in the UK - so she wanted to stay and finish. Here we are 5 years later and she will be finishing school soon and is now thinking about coming to live with us here.

I know we need to file the I-130 for her - but which one of us should file, and what category?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

There really wasn't much to the interview at all - she looked through her file, asked some questions. Looked through the updated info that we brought in, laughed at some of the pictures -- then approved us. What took the longest was for her to search for the fingerprint info and call the Support Center to find out what was going on..... then to get us another form so that he could go back and do the prints for the 3rd time!

FINALLY!!! Approved on 3-13-15 We had to go for a 3rd Biometric appt the same day because they lost his 2nd round..... but we are done and waiting for the card to arrive! Took almost 3 years -- but we are finally done

UPDATE.............

Received a notice of a 2nd Biometrics appointment scheduled for 2-17-15. Also finally got an interview appointment scheduled for 3-13-15.

Need to kill a few more trees for up to date paperwork, but fingers crossed we are almost done

Finally got letter for interview..... 3-13-15 Headed tomorrow (2-17-15) for 2nd biometrics appointment..... So ready for this to get done!

We don't qualify for a waiver.....

On a funny note -- because if I don't laugh I'll cry -- we got a letter from the Atlanta office today (1-29-15) telling us that they have received the petition to remove conditions and that the card will expire soon, so we need to make an infopass appointment. The letter was dated 1-26-15....... The card expired in June 2013 and we did make an infopass appt in June 2014 and got the stamp to extend for another year -- They are really on the ball!

We can only hope that MAYBE this means they have gotten down to his case and will be taking care of it soon ?!? Will just have to wait and see.

Dead serious.....

We've talked about filing the N-400 and would like to do so, just don't have that kind of cash to spare right now.

We were told that the Atlanta Field Office is one of the three largest/busiest in the nation, and not to look for anything soon - especially with all the new immigration stuff that's happening.

We filed in April 2013 -- same thing. Atlanta is BEYOND backlogged. We were told to just keep making an Infopass appointment each year to extend until they get to us.....

We are having the same issue..... We filed in April 2013 to Vermont. Received the same RFE in August 2013 and sent back ALL info requested even though they already had it from the original GC filing. Ours was transferred to the Atlanta Field Office - but we were never informed of that until we did a service request in December 2013. We were told that we would just have to wait until an interview could be scheduled. In March 2014, after hearing NOTHING -- we contacted our Senator and had them do an inquiry. That was a waste of time..... they got the same response that we did -- wait..... We filed another service request in May -- same response. My husband's 1 year extension on his GC ends today, June 16 -- and of course his driver's license expires today as well. On June 11, we once again called and were told that Atlanta is extremely back-logged and that our only option at this point to "speed things up" is to make an Infopass appointment online. We tried numerous times with nothing available -- but being persistent -- finally got one for June 26. When we check our online status, it STILL shows "Initial Review" -- and we STILL have not received anything directly from the Atlanta Field Office. Really ready to get this part of the journey over with and trying to stay positive -- but let's be for real..... the US Govt. hurries for no one..... GRRRR!!!!

Called on Friday, Dec. 27 and spoke to T2 Supervisor..... they put in a request for VSC to check our status and said we should get something from them by January 12 .............

Still waiting -- Happy New Year everyone!

I'm from Georgia..... only took us about a week to get ours in the mail - when you go in to get your license you can request extra copies too at the same time.

Also, the Police Certificate is 35 Pounds for the regular 7 - 10 day service - more for a faster delivery. If there are any Court Records, those are about 60 Pounds each to get certified copies... Oh, and don't forget the courier service for the Visa -- can't remember exactly on that, but it's listed on the Embassy website.

Good Luck!

Tried to edit that last post, but oh well.....

That link has one of the forms ur looking for, the I864 information is to the left of the page -- and surely the other forms are on this site.

Sorry - hope it helps some!

These links explain the NVC process.

They are opening fine for me. I'm not aware of any other source for the forms.

Anyone else ?

I went to the Embassy website and got them. Here is the link:

It worked for me - hope it will for you too!
