Hi everyone,

My wife and I filed AOS on Aug 25th 2010. It was received in Chicago on the 27th of August and we got a receipt notice on September, 2nd.

We still haven't received an appointment for biometrics. Is that normal? How long does it usually take after we get the receipt notice?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

I am a USC and my wife and I got married July 14th 2010. We actually decided to get married early July because she didn't like her internship (she was a J1 trainee) and she was considering quitting.

However, we were already living together for 1yr at the time, and dating for over 2 years at the time. We were planning on getting married all along, it just happened earlier than expected.

In the meantime, my wife got fired from her internship 2 day before the wedding. We file AOS in August and the application is pending.

Will USCIS question our intent? Like I said, we were planning on getting married all along, it just happened earlier.

We have all the documentation to establish a bona fide marriage ( lease, insurance, joint bills, pics...)

Thanks for your help!

Thanks!

Also, like I said, I live with my husband and he did not make enough so I have a second sponsor, who does not live with us. So do I consider them two joint sponsors, or is my husband the petitioner and my friend is the first joint sponsor? How exactly do we determine what kind of sponsors they are? Thanks again!

Your husband is the petitioner and your friend will be the first (and only) joint sponsor. Good luck with that form!

Hi everyone,

I am a US citizen. My wife is a "foreign national" from France. We recently submitted our AOS package to the Chicago lockbox, got a receipt notice on September, 2nd 2010 and are waiting for the bio appt letter.

I submitted an I-864 form with all required evidence, however ( because I have not been employed for too longer since I was a student until very recently) I asked a family member to fill out an I864 form and give us all the required docs.

I sent the AOS package without my uncle's I864 but I am keeping just in case we are asked to have a joint sponsor.

As you can imagine, I wasn't very comfortable about asking my uncle to do that but it wasn't a problem at all. Nevertheless, I have read that if we ever use him as a joint sponsor, USCIS could ask for an employment verification letter from him, is that true?

Like I said, I already didn't feel comfortable after asking him to fill out the form and give us the tax returns and W2 so I want to know if the letter of employment is really requested If so, when in the process? Can't copies of pay stubs be sufficient?

Thanks a lot for your help folks! And good luck to you all in tour cases. I'm looking forward to the day my wife gets her green card as this process puts a lot of stress on me, the USC. Ironically my wife isn't stressed out
