I had my interview this morning! I arrived 15 minutes early and got called 15 min after my scheduled interview time. The lady was very nice, she made me take an oath and then started the interview. She asked me when was the last time I entered the US and looked at my I-94, which she didn't take. She asked me if I was currently enrolled in school and if I had any evidence of that. I showed her my current visa, my enrollment verification letter and the term I am currently enrolled in. She asked for my high school diploma and asked me if I was employed. She then moved on to the I-485 form where she verified all the information on it and all the yes/no questions. Finally, she asked whether I paid the $330 fee, said that my case was approved and that she would request the package from KCC today. Very laid back interview, no details. It was very quick, it only lasted 15 minutes.
Thanks everyone for your help with the process!!

Have you checked online to see if there's any status update since the interview?

If there's no update online, not much can be done at this stage but keep waiting. I know one week probabaly seem like eternity regarding a life changing situation such as this, but it's really not considered an unusual amount of time to wait for a decision as far as USCIS is concerned. It's a good thing you already have an infopass scheduled for the 19th, so go to your FO on that day if there's still no update. Wish I had something better to tell you.

Hey thanks! Yeah Orlando was relatively quick and pretty much within the same time periods of other USCIS offices. 2 weeks after I did my bios I decided to take an info pass for 2 weeks later to follow up; however, I did not need it because I received the IL within that time. I saw that it took about 1 month after the bios for people to get their IL and that is approximately how long I waited as well. Have you tried to get an info pass? I'd suggest not to wait last minute because appointments are not always available within few days. I had to try 3 days in a row to be able to get through the system to get an info pass at Orlando because it kept saying that no appointments were available and then finally a spot opened up.
Good luck to you! Hopefully you'll get you IL soon!
 
Hi guys,

I have a problem with ordering my tax transcripts. When I try to create an account, it says that your info doesn't match our record. I also tried calling the automatic number they have given on IRS website. But when I enter my SSN and confirm that it is correct it apologizes ans says that my request cannot be processed! I guess my other option is to fill out and mail the 4506-T form to IRS. Do you have any idea how long it takes? I am in a rush to send my AOS package. Any other suggestion you guys might have?

Thanks,
Mammad

Hope this helps

You're over-thinking! You've obviously read about applicants doing walk-ins right? Have you heard of anyone who succeded in doing walk in who came back to report that they had problems with their cases? The section on that letter that you're refering to has to do with someone who never bothered to show up for the bio, be it as scheduled or a walk in.

Hi Urbanite,

Even as a guest you still are asked to enter your SSN, DOB, and address to login and when I do that I get the same error message. I think the problem is with my address fomatting. Is there any way to reach them and see what is wrong? Has anyone filed the 4506-T form before?

I really appreciate your help.

Hey, well, they're really not that bad judging by the 2014 timeline that people going through Boston reported. It took an average of 2-4 weeks for the IL to come through, which is much better than a lot of FO out there, so we gotta be a patient :/ I looked at the timeline and couldn't find your name, Vivemaroc, could you please put your journey there too?

I hired an attorney to ensure everything goes smoothly with the process, call me very cautious if you will, so he registered for one next week. I will probably go in with him, because what if I will be even more lucky and get interviewed on the spot? Probably won't happen though, since I haven't received my IL yet, but either way, thanks for the encouragement and advice ;) Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Mammad,

There is no phone number you can directly reach them. They have only the automated phone service. I tried to reach them too when I was having problem.
Here are a couple of options for you:

a) Try to enter only the numbers in your address not letters. I recall this being mentioned in their automated service.
b) If you are still facing issues, you better get the tax filing confirmation for each fiscal year. You can get that by logging to Efile or Turbotax, which ever provider you used. From there, make sure to get either the electronic receipt or print forms 1040 EZ. Having them may be better than nothing .

And above all, check with Mom, she is the expert and she should be able to advise you better than I do. I'm a newbie going through the process just like you.

There's nothing to be worried about, give it a shot if you feel like.
 
Hello,

I have question regarding infopass scheduling. My AOS package was delivered on April 7th and no news yet about IL. Here are the options:
  1. You need Service on a case that has already been filed
  2. You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card
  3. You want to file an application in person
  4. You need information or other services
  5. You need a form.
  6. You are a United States Military Member, Military Retiree or a Military Dependant
Should I select option 1 or 4?
I tried to select option 1 but none of the subsequent options match my case. So, I was wondering if I should select option 4.

Another question: I'm the primary applicant and my husband is a derivative. Should I schedule separate appointments or one is fine as the form asks for the receipt number.

Thank you,
