njoshi18,

Congratulations! Good to see that interviews are being scheduled in Fairfax, VA office recently for people in the forum. If we go with AOS for my parents, they would be under Fairfax DO. Hence I have been following Fairfax timelines with some interest.
 
Interview 3/31/06

I have my interview date for 3/31/06 in Seattle, WA

Application date: 9/21/06
RD: 9/23/06
EAD: 12/01/06
Interview Date: 3/31/06

I received a letter stating that I needed an official translation of my Birth Certificate. I called the USCIS and asked what else I needed to bring (just wanting to know if they prefer bank statements, pictures, insurance, etc) but they told me specifically to ONLY bring exactly what you've been asked to bring.
Where does it say that we have to bring pictures, insurance cards etc....is this just a precaution in case the interviewer wouldn't believe it is a "real" marriage?
Has anyone gone to the interview without bringing additional information except for taxreturns, and the INS forms?
 
Hello all,

I can't say how much reading many postings and the Interview FAQ helped me. THANKS A LOT to all of you who posted and responded lots of questions, here are my dates.

Timeline
Oct 2005 : Forms Mailed
30 Oct 2005 : RD
25 Jan 2005: Form I-485 ND (wierd before than FP) :confused:
02 Feb 2006 : ND-FP
02 Mar 2006 : FP/Bio
11 Mar 2006 : Received EAD
22 Mar 2006 : AOS Interview, approved!!!! :D

My passport wasn't stamped but the gentleman said that they aren't doing that any more unless there is a real emergency to travel outside the U.S. He gave me a letter that says "VALID TWO YEARS FROM: March 22, 2006" also gives brief instructions about filing Form I-751 to remove conditions, and he said that I'll get my GC in the mail within the next 6 weeks.
 
May 2000 - Married to my wife (USC) outside of US and lived outside of US (I'm a Canadian working aboard and my wife is a USC working aboard).
July 2004 - transfered to US on L-1 visa
Dec 30, 2005 - mailed I-130, I-485 to lockbox (after we decided that we will likely stay in U.S.)
Jan 12 2006 - reciept and at around the same time check cashed.
Feb 20 2006 - Biometric (no EAD or AP as I'm on L-1 visa)
Mar 23 2006 (today) - recieved notice for interview scheduled for June in Long Island NY.
(Just in case you wonder why I don't apply through my company... I don't want to be held ransome by my company :D :D )
 
Hello All,

I am new to this site. I've been reading for a while, and the information is invaluable. Thank you.

I am sponsoring my husband. We saw an immigration lawyer on March 4th. Here is our timeline thus far.

Forms mailed on March 4th: I-130, I-485, I-765.

I-130: RD 3/13/06, ND 3/16/06
I-485: RD 3/13/06, ND 3/16/06
I-765: RD 3/13/06, ND 3/16/06

Received today: Biometrics appt. for 4/5/06!

Question: Do I need to attend this appointment with my husband? We also discovered while meeting with the attorney that my husband's birthdate is incorrect on his passport. Does this need to be corrected for the biometrics appointment? Our atty. explained that for the interview, he would have to have this corrected. Thank you!

Hello All,

I am new to this site. I've been reading for a while, and the information is invaluable. Thank you.

I am sponsoring my husband. We saw an immigration lawyer on March 4th. Here is our timeline thus far.

Forms mailed on March 4th: I-130, I-485, I-765.

I-130: RD 3/13/06, ND 3/16/06
I-485: RD 3/13/06, ND 3/16/06
I-765: RD 3/13/06, ND 3/16/06

Received today: Biometrics appt. for 4/5/06!

Question: Do I need to attend this appointment with my husband? We also discovered while meeting with the attorney that my husband's birthdate is incorrect on his passport. Does this need to be corrected for the biometrics appointment? Our atty. explained that for the interview, he would have to have this corrected. Thank you!

Whats your DO?
For biometrics, you dont have to go with your husband. You unfortunately cannot correct the birthdate during your biometriecs appt. You should either try to get an infopass appt and ask if the officer can correct it, or notify the officer during your interview.
 
To Pillango:

Pillango,

Please edit both your posts and delete the table you quoted. It only clutters the thread and causes confusion. As you can already see instructions in red on the first post requesting not to quote the table. Appreciate your help.

Thank you so much for the information! I believe our DO is Newark, NJ. That is where my husband has to go for his biometrics test. I'll have to go and search because I am not sure of what an infopass is. Thanks.

Interview Done

Hello All

I had my interview today. Fairly Painless process. Asked a few questions on how we met and when we got married and all that.

Didnt even bother to check the Photos we took.

He approved the I-130 immedietly. But as i didnt have evidence that i had my Second Varicelli shot. He said send it to him, and then he will approve it and the GC should arrive in 3 weeks once he has approved it.

I mailed in the Evidence today itself by Priority Mail. Hoping the Status will change soon.

Any Questions/Comments will be appreciated

Thank you
ND: 08/09/05
Interview D: 05/10/06
DO: Chicago
days: 275
 
Applied for 485 and 765 at chicago Lock Box.

DO: Atlanta
ND for both: 01/31/2006
Notice for FP appointment received on 03/07/2006
FP for EAD appointment date in the letter: 03/29/2006
Intial interview for 485 letter received:03/27/2006
Interview Scheduled on: 05/25/2006

I have a question: I received Finger printing notice for EAD and the notice included the appointment date of 03/29/2006 (I didnot call any 800 number to schedule).
Yesterday, I received the intial interview letter for May 25th 2006.
From the forums it appears that their are two finngr printings done, one for EAD and other for 485. I have not recieved any FP notice for 485. Anyone in similar situation? My local office is Atlanta.

I dont know wheter the EAD FP will take care of both as I applied for them together.

Any information is appreciated.
