Do not overthink it!
The IO might ask @ the interview if you'd like to make any changes to the form (or give him/her any additional document). Then you can bring that to his/her attention.
You should be HAPPY instead of DISAPPOINTED!
What was your answer for the what organization have you been part of? I was a part of red cross and scout back home but I forgot to mention it in my form.Interview Completed - New Card Is Being Produced (San Diego)
9:05 - Security check
9:15 - Waiting room
10:15 - 10:30 - Interview
Interview questions / requests:
1) Provide passports and DL (no other documents were asked for)
2) Ask if I graduated (Y)
3) Changed address
4) How many visas have I had in the past (2)
5) Last arrival date
6) What organizations have I been a part of
7) 20 Y/N questions
8) What do I plan to do after I get the GC
The IO was a very sweet lady that was very excited for me. She said she wanted to approve my case on the spot before we even started the interview. She also spent 5 minutes explaining to me:
1) the rights of an LPR
2) that I could naturalize 5 years from today
3) and to wait to be a USC before sponsoring anyone as it's a faster process (even though I did not mention any plans to do so).
My IO threw in a couple of "trick" questions so everyone should pay attention during their interview. I believe these questions are just asked to make sure you are paying attention and that you're not blindly following a "script". For example, the IO asked:
1) "So if I'm correct, you were not part of any organizations, is that right?" (I was part of one)
2) She rephrased a Y/N question that turned my original answer, "no", into a "yes" answer (it was very subtle)
It was basically just a little play of words, but nothing anyone can't handle so as long as you're paying attention. All in all, great experience.
My sincerest thanks to @Sm1smom and @SusieQQQ for your help and contributions to the forum. You both have made this process that much easier, and I am truly grateful for both of you!
...and I couldn't have done it without my friends @raphael1899, @Milz, and @Blade_
And if the IO don't ask that, do I still have to mention that to him?
Sure, why not!
Ok. Thankyou.
Don't be disappointed. My case status still showing " Fingerprint fee was received". At least you're more steps ahead in your case status.
My officer was very positive about my case, and he told me several times don't worry, and he was upset because he couldn't approve it yesterday. He tried to show me the email that he sent to the KCC, which is funny. The one person who has the same issue last Wednesday (Atlanta, GA)status changed this Monday, and his GC is on the way now. So don't worry. It will come to you soon. We will wait.
I filed in early June and took copies of all paystubs that I had received since that date to my interview yesterday. The IO took all those paystubs for his files so I suggest doing the same. Better to over prepare than under prepare I think!
It was just a charity/volunteer organization in the US.
No, as far as I know that form is for someone else to be your sponsor.
Ok cool!I filed in early June and took copies of all paystubs that I had received since that date to my interview yesterday. The IO took all those paystubs for his files so I suggest doing the same. Better to over prepare than under prepare I think!
The question is not about US based organizations only. It is meant for ALL organizations both in the US and back home or any other country the organization falls under one has ever been a part of. The referenced question starts with "Have you EVER ..." and goes on to say "in the United States or in any other location in the world including any military service". They want to know if one has been a part of any terrorist organization or some organization that derive pleasure in trampling other people's rights, etc.
Honestly your case your call. My IO didn't go through each payslip with a fine tooth comb or anything, just looked for the employer name on the top payslip, and he didn't even ask for a verification letter. I had one with me just in case, but my approach was only to give documents if they asked for them. I can't imagine it would hurt if your employer confirmed your current pay rate and usual hours etc in a verification letter and noted the recent shutdown impacted that, but I doubt they'll even notice if you provided all the recent payslips you have that a payslip or two was missing from July. Its up to you but I wouldn't panic about it too much. Do whatever makes you comfortable.
AFAIK (based on mom's answers on this post), yes, it does not change for AOS.
