Thanks Alex! I take it you had an older passport with your last US entry visa stamp & i94. If not how did you address this issue during the interview?

You are absolutely right, we had an expired passport with latest I94 in it.

We have been in exactly the same situation. It does not really matter whether your passport is expired or not for interview purposes.

We had receipt from our consulate showing that we applied for new passport, but no one was interested in it.

Hi Alex , congratulations.. BTW hows your interview experience.

Hi!

Interview went pretty smooth. IO was friendly and professional, quickly ran through my application asking some questions.

From my understanding the main idea is to confirm information from application and change if necessary. After that he asked

me 6 question, and read and write one sentence. The whole process took around 15 minutes.

That's not what the immigration law says, and there are lots of spouses and children of LPR's who have adjusted status in the US that proves otherwise. The law only requires that there is an immigrant visa number immediately available to them. If the I-130 is approved and the priority date is current, then there is an immigrant visa number immediately available.

You bet. The notice was correct on the day it was issued because there was no visa number available on that day.

Ok, after consultation with lawyer decided to file I-485.

Her priority date may not have been current when they generated the notice. Yes, you can file the I-485 now. USCIS will have to ask NVC to return the petition before they can adjudicate the I-485. This can take months. I have a friend going through this now with a humanitarian reinstatement and substitute sponsor for a deceased petitioner. It amazes me that USCIS can get an approved petition to NVC in a matter of days, but it takes months to send it the other way.

The expired F-1 visa means she can't leave and reenter the US. The valid I-20 establishes her lawful presence as long as she continues going to school.

Notice was issued November 30, her priority date became current December 1, information about that was available in early November.

Is it really possible that they decided that she is not eligible because of 1 day???

This is correct. However, her priority date is now current. If she is eligible to adjust status then filing an I-485 would cause USCIS to ask for the petition to be returned from DoS so that the AOS could be adjudicated.

Overstay is not "forgiven" for spouses of LPR's. They must maintain their lawful non-immigrant status in order to be eligible to adjust status.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Since our priority date is now current we can file I-485, regardless of the notice we received?

Thanks to everyone for replies.

My wife's F1 visa expired, but her I-20 form NOT, her I-94 is D\S, which I believe means duration of status.

She takes mandatory 12units per semester and all that I believe makes her stay in the US legal.

P.S. Notice date November 30.

Any ideas what is going on?

Hello all,

I'm GC holder and filled I130 for my wife. My wife is on F-1 visa.

Our priority date is July 27 2010. Today I've received Approval notice which states:

"The above petition has been approved. The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjust

of status. The evidence indicates the he or she is not eligible to file an adjustment of status application. This determination is based on the information submitted

with the petition and any relating files. If the person for whom you are petitioning believes that he or she is eligible for adjustment of status, then he or she

should contact the local USCIS office for more information. Because the person for whom you are petitioning is not eligible to adjust, we have sent the approved

petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC), 32 Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909. NVC processes all approved immigrant visa which

consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing. NVC will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.

..."

What does it actually mean?

many thanks.
