Any February 2011 I-130/I-485 filer yet?. . .let's track progress.
- Thread starter immiresearch
- Start date
Same here!! Tomorrow is the interview day for us. Hope we get the same IO ctraquir had.
When should we expect our work auth to come? We called to expedite and they told us it could take 4 months to approve
I've notived thay in general everyone got it about 30 days after biometrics...
Any words of advice or knowledge would be great!!
Thanks
Most Probably within 30 days. Keep checking online status also.
Hello Everyone,
Sorry I was not active on forum for a while. I have noticed a lot of progress in Feb filers friends
Congrats to all for their green card approval and EAD
My status is still the same.
Almost 130 days since I filed my AOS and no sign of Interview letter. I am aware that New York is little crazy in term of delay, so I am keeping my fingers crossed
Hope all will be good in the end.
GOD bless everyone

I emailed my lawyer today and asked what to expect next. He advised that NVC will also request a completed form DS-230. So, in case you haven't filled that in yet, you might want to get a head start. He said it should come around the same time as the I-864 request, but I haven't received it yet.
I had to file an extension for my 2010 tax filing because my company filed for me (I lived in Belgium last year so my taxes are complicated). Anyway, they were filed, but I'm waiting to receive a confirmation of receipt and then I will send the I-864 back with that supporting documentation - hopefully later this week.
Keep me posted on your progress. good luck!

Don't worry.
You should call NVC on Friday or Monday. The lady I spoke with said that the system was just updated a few minutes before I called and that everyone who were approved by USCIS on May 31 or before was just updated. It was too early to give out or collect any additional information from either the petitioner or Beneficiary since it was just updated. Oh and you shouldn't wait until you receive the DS-3032, I-864 and the bill by mail. You can pay, fill out the form, scan and email it to NVC instead of wait for the paper. Well until you have the necessary numbers (IIN- Invoice Identification Number and case numbers). For that time just wait and be patient. USCIS should have taught us that.

Hi premansh,
I am also applying through the NYC office and regretting that I didn't pick Newark since the applications filed everywhere else but NYC seem to fly in comparison. Please keep us posted when you receive your IL.
Thanks!

So we just got back from our interview and we got APPROVED YEAHHHHH Here are the details.
We got there about 15 minutes early and had to wait 45 min until our number was called. Our IO was an older gentleman, he looked a little serious when we walked up and I got worried. So he sat us down and ask for our ID's and my I-94 card, Passport & EAD card. He checked the I-94 card and my passport and said that the year on the card and the entry in my passport dont match. For some reason when they stamped the I-94 card, the last number of the year was only printed half, it was hard to read. So after explaining to him that that is the same year and him using a magnifiant glass, he was satisfied. After we figured that, he swore us in.
He went thru the I-485 questions ask me whats my name is, our address, he ask my husband what my DOB is, where I was born and what my mom's name is. He was serious, but he made a few jokes here and there, so it wasnt too bad. He asked what my husband does for living, what kind of company etc. and if I work or if I'm going to be a housewife/homemaker. haha. (he really did say that) He didnt ask for any other evidence, no pictures nothing, maybe he was scared cause I brought this huge photoalbum with me. hehe.
After I would say 20 minutes of questioning, he stamped APPROVED on our application. He said we should receive the greencard within the next 2-3 weeks.
Thats it. I'm so thankful and so relieved we are done with this process for the next 2 years. I dont think I realized how stressed out I was until I saw the APPROVED stamped and I could actually breathe again.
Thank you February Filers for the support, I wish everyone who still has interviews ahead of them good luck. Just remember to keep calm and make sure you both know all the answers on the form I-485.

Congratulations!!!
We were also approved!!!
My wife and I went to the interview today. We arrived around 20min before the scheduled time. There was not many people on the waiting room. After a wait of about 25 minutes the IO called our number. He is an African-American male, his attitude was nice. Once in his office he asked the Citizen (me) to take the right seat. He was amazingly kind with my wife. He told her "you dear, take this seat". Before we sat down, he presented himself and give us a brief on the procedure he is going to follow. He asked us to rise our hands and swear that we are going to said the truth. We all sat down. Then he asked us for her passport and my proof of citizenship. I had the Passport Card with me, he said that will do it. Then he asked her those questions about bigamy, prostitution, drugs, terrorism, ect ect. He went circling down these questions in one of the forms he had. Following that, he started reviewing the applications... he was reading every piece of information and asking me if that is correct. "your name is XXXX?, yes.. ""you were naturalized in XXX?", yes .. "you were born a male and are still a male?, yes.. (I could not help to smile with that question)... He continued reading the rest of my information... address, SSN, phone number, ... Then he went back to my wifes info and read the information and asked her to confirm that it is correct. When he asked my wifes SSN, she did not remember it (she got it 2 moths ago), so I told him the number. When he finished putting check marks on the application, he asked us if we can provide any evidence that we are still together. We had the lease agreement, car insurance, and renters insurance. I gave it to him and told him that is what we have. He said that is plenty, and filled it. then he put the approved stamp in the application and told my wife she can wait the card at our address (he read the entire address). At that moment his cellphone rang, he asked us to wait and took the call. He told the person he will call later. He asked us if we have any question for him. I asked him about the stamp they used to put in the passport. He told me they are not doing it any more, that we just wait for the card to arrive at our address. Then he congratulate my wife, shocked hands with me and escorted us to the exit.
That was it!... No personal questions, he didn't asked us for pictures... not even the recurrent question "where do you met?"
It was a very pleasant experience!
