Hello Everyone,
H1B married to USC
02/12/06 filed I-130,131, 485, 765 to Chicago
02/17/06 receipt notices
03/15/06 biometrics done
04/24/06 Received letter to appear initial interview
05/29/2006 Initial interview for I-485
05/03/06 EAD approved
05/19/07 Second EAD approved
(i). We have not heard from USCIS about our I-485 case?
The initial interview did not go so well. My husband and I did not think we'll have any problems, knowing we are completely legitimate. The interviewer didn't care to see any pictures of us, asked for me to leave the room and questioned my husband alone. We have so many documents to prove we are for real, I have done everyhting legally throughout my stay in the US for 8 years now. "Technically, you don't live with her", the interviewer said to him. Prior to our marriage, he lived with his parents 5 minutes away from our new home. He still had his old address on his drivers license...didn't think about it at all. His old mail would still go to his parents house and we would just pick it up when we see them every day, no big deal, or so we thought... We didn't hire a lawyer to help us prepare for all this because everything we have is completely normal and supposed to be easy to file. We have a joint credit account to show, now we have bank accounts together, filed a joint tax return, the condo is on both of our names, bills, medical/life insurance, etc. but it was not enough aparently. We still don't know what is going on and we do not know who to call to ask for the status of our applications. My second EAD was approved this year, without a problem, which is a good sign, I hope, but what is taking so long with the rest of the applications? Can you give us any advice?
