Thank you so much!

Just anything to remember before sending the forms and civil documents. Maybe little things that are not in the instructions. Any advice?

This is for question is for sister actually. She is petitioning her husband. It's IR-1/CR-1.

Hello VJ members! I'm just asking for things to remember or advices before sending the DS 230 and civil documents to NVC. Thank you!

So her petition has been approved at USCIS and now she's at NVC doing the Affidavit of support documents and than the IV Bill documents.

No her husband will not be doing a Adjustment of Status.Thats for couples who filed here from like a visitor Visa, Tourist Visa or K1 visa. 2 years from his POE (Port of entry or arrival date) well 90 days before that 2 years they will do a ROC (removal of conditions) since they are married less than 2 years at the time the visa will be issued.

So again its a ROC (removal of conditions) not an Adjustment of Status that they will do 2 years from the date of arrival. He will move from a 3 year green card to a 10 year green card.

Got it! Thank you so much... I will Like your answer of this is on Facebook. Hahaha thanks again

So your sister and her husband are both here in the US? You say she submitted the Affidavit of support? I'm confused as to what is being filed and what stage they are at. That would help and if hey are filling and they both are here or what. I assume the husband is the beneficiary?

And is your sister a USC or LPR?

Her husband is still in the Philippines. My sister is a USC. The petition is still ongoing, my sister just submitted the affidavit of support yesterday.

Correct I-130... So that's for later when her husband is here. Thank you!

My sister and her husband are married for only 7 months. The petition is still is process, she just submitted her affidavit of support yesterday. Anyway my sister read something about adjustment of status and that the petitioner should call NVC or USCIS about it. Does the adjustment of status required for my brother in law?

Thank you all...

Hello VJ members! My sister will mail her I-864EZ for her husband today. We just want to make sure everything is complete. She has the form completed and attaching her last 3 W-2s. Also she is making a copy of her last 3 bank statements. Is there anything else that she need to include in the package? We appreciate all answers. Thank you and god bless!

My sister married her fiance in the Philippines last February. Now she's back here in the US she is starting to file for I 130. Her question is, does she need her name changed on all her IDs like passport, state ID, and SS card before filing I 130? Please advise, any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Congratulations!

Really? Thanks guys you just made my day!!!

What does the wording say under "Post Decision Activity". As "post" means after, it may be that they have sent out the card. Read exactly what the wording says.

Here it is.

On October 31, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Hello! We had our interview on october 25, 2011 and everything went pretty smooth. The immigration officer reviewed all our documents, asked questions like how did we meet, how many times I went to visit my wife, when did we get married. After that he asked for a joint bank account, pictures and a copy of our lease, we provided all he asked for and he said to my wife everything looks good, congratulations then he returned back my wife's EAD card and said you should received your green card within 4 weeks. After 3 days we checked our status in the USCIS website and we saw card/document production. But we checked it again this morning and status is post decision activity. It does say the I485 is approved though. Is there something to worry about here? Why did our case status changed from card/document production to post decision activity? Anyone with similar situation?

Congratulations!

Goodluck and god bless...

Hello VJers!

We are having AOS interview tomorrow in San Diego, and we are wondering what kind of questions they may ask, and what to expect in general.

I have found this page with some sample questions;

http://www.visajourney.com/content/exampleq

and AOS interview tips on this thread;

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/154623-aos-interview-tips-for-those-with-upcoming-interviews/

Is there any other things we should know prior to the interview?

Any advise and thoughts are very appreciated!

One thing I remember from my K-1 visa interview in Japan is that when they asked when we met in person for the first time, since it is over 5 years ago, I said, "um, 2005 or 2006" and the officer said "which one? you need to pick one." with a suspicious face expression.

I honestly didn't remember the exact day or time. I can't even remember what we ate for lunch two days ago. (haha!)

Well, my husband and I think that we should just show up there and be ourselves. There's nothing to hide, if we don't know / can't remember, that's us. We are kind of punk rock about that, but it's great to know what you all think and what you suggest us do so that we can at least prepare...

Thanks everybody!

Good luck to both of you. Our interview is scheduled next week here in San Diego too. Please do share your interview experience. Again, good luck on you interview.

Congratulations! Ours is next week hope we will have the same result.

Hello! My sister a US citizen wants to marry her fiancé in the Philippines. What documents does she need to secure here in the US for her wedding? Also documents she needs coming back here. Any answers or comments will be appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks guys... I have one more question. If our case was transferred to the National Benefits Center, is that a good thing?

Hello! I just want to ask if an interview is applicable for every AOS case? I read somewhere in here that other members did not have an interview. Are those special cases? Anyway, our interview is scheduled on October 25, 2011. We are wondering what to expect in the interview, are we going to be interviewed at the same time? Thank you in advance.

Thank you... So I went and check my status online and I found out that my EAD has been approved but my green card is still under review.
