I was just wondering if there was anyone here that filed under 245i to adjust their status from an EWI, to a PR.
i am over 21 and my husban is filing for me. he is a USC.
what was the interviewing process was like for you, did you married a USC, or go about it in a different routhe.
21+ unmarried son of lpr, later upgraded to usc. filed the AOS packet at the end of june because that was the soonest my lawyer could see me. had about two days to assemble it before the end of the month, and the start of the retrogression. everything was splendid until the interview. the interview was fairly easy -- went through all the "no" questions: are you a communist? have you ever been deported? ever been arrested? etc. there were two missing documents from my file: the i-130, the IO allowed my father and I to fill a new out on his desk after we produced the NOA for the original one and he approved it, and proof that I had paid the $1,000 245(i) penalty. again, we produced the receipt.
I was approved, however due to the retrogression (interview done in october) a card was not ordered for me. the IO explained that as soon as my PD becamse current they would manufacture my ARC (alien resident card). the november bulleting came out two days later with positive results. went to an infopass but was told my case was pending in not so many words. returned to infopass in december and found out I was now stuck in namecheck.
got the email on the 2/28 bearing the good news. the card arrived about 6 days later.
