Technically speaking, your a LPR based on the approval notice. But you clearly don’t a an acceptable document for demonstrating that, if on the unlikely event you need to present such a document for some reason (unrelated to the change of address you’re trying to do of course), as such I will err on the side of caution and not claim a LPR status until I receive the GC.

Thanks Mom!
 
Quick update... we just received our physical green cards ... it took about 9 days to arrive from the day they mailed it, 2 weeks from when the approval letter arrived and about a month after the interview.
From some reason they mailed it to my lawyers office instead of our home address. No tracking number was provided. I wish good luck for everyone and thank you all for the help.
 
Dear SM1SMOM please I need your advise
You have an idea about my case
Last call with tier2 last week he put request for
Bio and interview and I got email which I shared before that an IO will contact me within 7 days to schedule appointment
Today I got this letter by mail from uscis
I’ll upload the letter here

Wanted to update my case: Finally a "New card is being produced" after 2 days of my interview.
Thank you mom and everyone so much! It's been one hell of a journey and I think it's about to end for me.
I have to note that this forum is the best thing that could happen to anyone and I'm so glad I found it and even told people about it!
 
Hello guys,
I am still in a trouble of finding a sponsor. But I do have a employment letter. Do you think it would be a problem? thank you. Or should I change the interview date ?

At this point changing the interview date is like saying "I don't need the GC". If you can't find a sponsor, then you should proceed with what you have right now. that's what it is.

Finding a sponsor is not a "must" but a good addition to strengthen your case against the public charge rule. If you have job and your income is good enough, you should be fine. It would be a different story if you were unemployed.

I wouldn't even think about rescheduling my interview at that point. Good luck!

Considering how the NBC has gone ahead and scheduled everyone else (reporting in this forum) for bio (since the USCIS offices re-opened for in person service), and they’re yet to schedule you for your bio to start with, it is possible the NBC is still under the impression your AOS is family based. If you like, you can send me a copy of your submitted I-458 via email for me to review to see if there’s anything on it that could be causing this confusion - (sm1smm555 at gmail).

Now, if it is any consolation to you, the letter you got is what I refer to as one of the standard responses USCIS sends out when they’re not ready to make a commitment for one reason or the other. Clue to that? The letter states your case is still undergoing some review at the NBC. Meanwhile, the FO previously sent you a RFI, right? If the case file was still at the NBC, the FO wouldn’t have sent out the RFI back then when they did. Also, the service request you raised wouldn’t have gone to the FO because the phone rep wouldn’t have known which FO has jurisdiction over your case file if it was still at the NBC.

So you can either forward a copy of your I-485 to me for review as a first step, or if you’re certain everything is in order from your end, keep calling the 1800 number and continue to plead for an INFOPASS appointment to enable you visit your FO and plead your case in person.

Hello,
I have my interview on Friday and I am wondering if I should prepare a I-134 for my husband who is my derivative applicant. I'm employed and have a decent income but he's not employed. Does that make sense that he adds a I-134 from me or is it just silly ?

I know you previously stated you’re on F1 and do not have any come. However if you do have an employment letter now, which demonstrates potential earning income (hopefully the amount is significant enough), you most likely will be fine without an I-134. One thing you never want to do is change the interview date. Attend it as scheduled with whatever you have.

Not necessarily. Your income will be viewed as a family income. In the unlikely event of the IO considering it as truly required, he/she may then ask you to fill out one. So for that possibility, you can fill out one in advance and have in on hand just in case it is requested, but I doubt that.

In my interview they did not ask anything from the financial part sees trusting in God if you fulfill the other you will go well
 
I have a silly question, my case have been approved, waiting for GC, I am F1 student and now I can apply for OPT, can I apply for the OPT as my classes are also completed and I have not received GC yet. I had my interview on 20, August.

You're case is already approved and you're going to get the GC soon, why are you going to waste time and money to apply for OPT? be patience you're almost there. I'm an F1 too with my case approved

So you had your interview on August 20th, can you tell us more about your interview experience? were you approved during or after the interview? Where is your Field Office located?

I have funding and employment through my university and it is adequately above the guideline for family of 2. Even then I submitted an I-134. In my case my brother sponsored me (he is an LPR). I talked with my friend who is a lawyer and he said as long you are employed and can show that you have adequate income to support yourself (and family if applicable) then an I-134 is not required. It is just an added strength.

I don't need it even as I can support my wife and myself but as my wife can't work (F2) hence I decided to submit an I-134.

If you have a good job then it shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you so much dear SM1SMOM
I called uscis first tier 1 was so rude and didn’t schedule infopass for me neither transfer me to a supervisor
I called again and waited for an hour and the tier 1 was so helpful
She scheduled infopass for me and transferred me to a supervisor
I explained my case to the supervisor
She state : uscis made a mistake with your case in July but we fixed it on august 4 and it’s base is diversity visa program
I told her about deadline September 30. She said there is no guarantee that you will get your appointment by September 30, I started explaining to her the physical year for DV program
She said you don’t understand you have to file your AOS by September 30 but the case can take years to be processed
You sent your package in May 2020 and and it may take several years so be patient and don’t expect any appointment soon
What do you think dear SM1SMOM?
I am so confused she is not a tier 1 she is a supervisor
And I don’t know what to say or do after that !
