Nothing for me today. Hopefully I can get something worked out tomorrow at my info--pass appointment

Me three....LOL

Nope luck with congress I'm going for an info-pass on friday.

Hopefully mines too.

Okay I just scheduled and info-pass appointment for this Friday. Hopefully I will have some progress this week and won't need it. I don't mind waiting on the interview or the letter, just want to see an EAD production order soon. I have to go to court next week and would like to be able to tell the dept collectors and the student loan people when I can begin payments. The job I had offered will no longer be available after July 23rd.

I'm taking it you meant your card production was ordered two days after you requested an expedite. How/When did you requested the expedite. I've tried it twice including using the congress office and seem to be getting nowhere.

Question? I was wondering if I scheduled an info pass appointment if it will affect my case(negatively or positively). Can they possibly help or will it just slow my case up and they'll probably tell me the same thing they say when I call USCIS. What do you'll think.

No letter or updates today.

Thank you, congrats again to you and everyone who has some progress lately.

Yep

I haven't check the mail and honestly I don't want to be disappointed. I've been waiting on the wife to get home and check it daily. Try to stay bust with the son so I don't even think about it.

So I call my congress office again a few days ago and they said i have to wait on the person in charge of immigration issues get back to me. Its been couple weeks since I've first contacted them and I've had several people contacted them but got no response. So I guess i'm back to waiting....

Yes...the letter or EAD production.

So our appt time was to be at 11:05 am but dealing with my rush, rush hubby, we got to Philly at 9:45 and had to kill some time til at least 10:15. We entered and went through the security scan (joked a lil with one of the guards- she was a sweety) and made our way up to the waiting room on the 3rd floor. Of course there were no clocks so we didn’t have a clue how long we were waiting but the room was ¾ filled with AOS, ROC and Naturalization people. I walked to the front desk and handed the lady behind the glass window my interview letter and was told to have a seat and wait to be called.

At least 3-4 couples were, in my opinion, given the Stokes interview as the IO sent one spouse back to the waiting room while they interrogated the other spouse. Funny thing is, the ones who were given such treatments, had attorneys present while the others who didnt, including us, were never separated. We were the last to be called in before lunch (so to speak) at about 1. We were interviewed by an Asian lady, Ms. Cho. She was very polite yet got straight to the point since they were obviously runnin behind schedule.

She asked us if there were anything we wanted to add to the file and even though I had an enormous amount of stuff, I just let her look through our photo albums, joint bank accounts, lease, benefits enrollment form and pics (of which, only the photo albums were new evidence cuz she didn’t ask for any of our insurance cards since we already submitted info regarding the enrollment). She then went straight into questioning us.

Hubby’s questions

She spent a good 5 mins doing so and started to inquire about who went to the wedding (12). (Hubby named every single person but ticked me off by telling her how his mom didn’t approve even though she didn’t ask him all that lol)

When did we get married?

Where was it held?

What we did afterwards?

When did we start going out?

Where did we go on dates?

How long was it before we decided to get married?

Asked hubby visa am I on?

Where I lived in Detroit? (too many places so she by-passed it

What school I attend, and what school I got my degree from?

What is my major here and in my degree?

When was I last enrolled?

My questions

When and how did we meet?- Then if we still went to that church.

What did/do we have in common?

How often did we see each other during school?

What activities did we do when I visited?

Where hubby works?

How many times I visited the US? Too many to count

When did I enter on my student visa?

Has he ever taken time off to come to Detroit?

When did he visit and what did we do?

Oddly, will I go back to school in august?

What was our first movie? (too long ago) so she asked what was our last movie together? Made small talk as to her wanting to know about it.

Then asked about the I-130 questions

Both

And if we’re married?

What do we know about each other’s parents? Age, Job, Name, Address

Then, asked us to verify our own and each others’ Age, Job, Name, Address.

What do I want to do as a career?

After that, she asked, again, if I wanted in include anything. I gave her the most recent 3 pay stubs and employment letters from both jobs and to make a copy of my I-20. She then said thanks for coming in and that we’ll get the letter in about 30 days as they have cut down on giving out stamps (even though she said sorry and we‘ll have to wait to take hubby to JA). She asked us to stay in the wait room until she made copies and when she came out, I told her about my EAD touches and said if I get it I coud use it but I might get my GC before that.

God is good.

Congrats Yardie. Glad everything went well.

Good luck

Still no changes on my case. Also we moved a month ago but I'm not sure if I want to change my address. Don't want it to cause anymore delays. The address on record is my wife's parents and we moved approximately 2 miles away.

How long does it take to get an info pass appointment. Need to see about a letter to renew my Drivers licenses. I have already requested 2 EAD expedite and help from congressman. Nothing has happened.

Congrats to everyone who had some progress lately....I'm still waiting. Hopefully I get a break this week.

Yea not sure if they did anything it was about three weeks since I've called. However today my father in law will call on my behalf. He's a police captain here in kansas city and he knows this congressman. Let's really hope this works.

Lol, I contacted congressman emmanuel cleaver in kansas city missouri.

LOL....thanks guys I'm feeling better already

Thanks for the support VJERS, I feel the same way about VJ because people around don't understand what we have to go through. My wife the same, I think she tired of me complaining and getting upset. All she says is that she'll be happy when I'm back to my normal attitude. I agree with her....lol

yes can you'll tell I'm a little upset. My wife barely makes enough to support the family, that why we needed a co-sponsor. In fact both my job offer double her salary.

This is stupid they should just approve all EAD immediately after the biometrics. After all is only good for a year and you don't need it once to get the GC. The GC is the most important why have people suffer waiting. Hopefully something good can happen for me this week, because the holiday will definitely slow things up this weekend.

Congrats to all that got interview letters and EAD production. Well I'm still waiting. I called USCIS this morning to see about another expedite and they said I can't expedite for the same reason and they advise me to just wait(Think thats bull, I already did two for financial hardship). This is really frustrating because friday I was serve papers to be sue by a collection agency for one of my three charged off credit cards and let not mention the traffic tickets I got too. I got two job offers and they want me to start like yesterday. I have explain all this to USCIS and still no expedite on EAD. Called the congressman office couple weeks and they said they would contact USCIS but I'm not sure if they did. I'm calling them again tomorrow. However, my AOS was touched today.
