Brad and Vika
Rating:  | Review Topic: Adjustment of Status
We had to reschedule the AOS interview, and the USCIS phone center was no help at all (big surprise there). We put in the request through the phone - but they couldn't tell us anything about the timing of the notice or appointment, only that it would be considerably later than the first. Vika was leaving three weeks after that date to visit Ukraine, so we could have been out to November (it is now August). We made an infopass appointment just to try and get some input into the process, and the staff at the field office were extremely helpful. They rescheduled us BEFORE the original appointment, and even produced the new appointment letter while we waited.
At the interview, the officer called me back first. He asked open ended questions about how we met, and how our relationship developed for about five minutes. Then he brought Vika back and asked the same things to see if our stories matched. He then told us the green card was approved, and told Vika to immediately destroy the AP and EAD documents when the green card arrives, as it is illegal to have both (EAD being a non-immigrant document, and GC being based on immigrant status). Vika was told that under no circumstances was she allowed to vote (duh), and that she should take care not to let the DMV register her when she gets her license, as this is a deportable offence and no waiver or appeal is possible. Then he warned us about the deadline for lifting conditions, and let us go. Total of maybe 15 minutes.
