Congrats feel! Looks like your GC is surely on its way!

Only my wife submitted the I-134. I (non-resident on an F-1 visa) signed the I-134 on her behalf. I assume that because I had a full-time job, that the officer believed I could support myself and my wife. There was no mention of the I-134 in the interview letter, though I did read, on this...

Just updated it. I didn't track some of the fields, so what is up is all I have at this point. You're right. It was like clockwork, she had everything up on her computer screen and checked everything on her list as I showed the originals to her. Forgot to mention that she asked for a I-134...

Interview experience Just completed my interview with the New York (Manhattan) field office. It was a very smooth and by-the-book interview. We (wife and I) arrived about 20m late and had to wait for an hour before we were called in. The officer made us take the oath, and then asked me, the...

Thanks! My interview is in 2 days. Will post back once done.

Congrats!!

Helpful. Thanks! Yes it is. That's what I got as well, and I've made it to the "Interview Letter" stage, so you're fine.

Hmm...this could be hard, I don't really have a sponsor here in the US. And my employer does not sponsor H-1B or immigrant visas. Think I'll get bank statements and pay stubs to show self-support. Truth is, I got lazy and postponed it. SEVIS was active at the time of AOS filing, so I hope...

Thanks for the prompt response! I actually didn't update school with my employment details until January '11. I know this is important because those details go into the SEVIS database. it is all updated now, hopefully the lack of updates for most of 2010 wont be an issue. I-134 - is that...

Proof of legal status Hello guys - After a lot of worry, I finally received my interview letter a few days ago, more than a month after completing my biometrics. I have a question about proving my legal status in the US. I am on an F1-OPT visa and worked unpaid for about 6 months with a...

Not yet, but it'll go out tomorrow. I notice you've already sent yours, your case number isn't very far from mine!

My OPT-EAD is valid till the middle of June '11. I hope everything moves 'fast enough' and I should have the green card before that!

Opt i-765 Does anyone know if those who have an OPT-based EAD should include the I-765 with their application packet? I am an F-1 student who has completed studies and is on a 1 year OPT and I already have an EAD. Do I need to file the I-765 form when submitting my I-485? Thanks!

Standard white works. The slip DoS returns to you is just the cut out portion and it fits in the standard white.

Thanks leongsce. Good to see the details about your case from last year, gives me hope that mine will be completed in good time :)

Thanks for the input. Another degree is really not an option, it is too expensive and I would prefer to work here (if I can find an H-1B sponsor) as I already have huge debts from my school loan :( Regarding the 3 month timeline, there is definitely no guarantee about the time it takes to...

Yes, this was part of my question as well. I believe you can stay in the country, but are definitely not allowed to work (if you had work authorization and it expired).

Unfortunately I can't do a STEM extension as I have a business degree. At the moment, I have already done the AoS and DoS already has my case (got the "PAID" receipt from them), so I doubt I can switch to CP now. Looking at last year's numbers, CN 2011AS00015xxx became current in May 2010...

Thanks for writing. I'm currently within the 90 day period, so all is OK on that front. That's exactly the question I am trying to answer here, assuming my employer does not file for an H-1B, if I get the GC in September, can I still stay in the country from the time my OPT expires? Working...

F-1 OPT question Hello all, Congrats to everyone on winning the DV-2011 lottery. I am an F-1 student on OPT right now with a 2011AS00015xxx CN and am looking for a job to start working using my OPT visa. My question is related to H-1B filing and whether I should be filing an H-1B to work or...
