GC done in AIT!

I got it

Hi All,
I got my approval/GC package this morning!

It still feels like a dream to me.

It took them about 1 hour to review all my documents - 3 colleges\' degrees, Visas and I-20\'s, 3 company\'s H1-B and the rest of the documents. The interview was pretty quick - swearing that all the documents are true and a couple easy questions. Done! :)

The questions are...
- Why you were studying for 7 years in America?
I went to a language school and 2 colleges (5 years).
- Have you commited in any crime?
- So you are working as a [title], doing [such and such]?

The document checking process occured at 8 AM. The interview took place about 1.5 hours later.

I was asked to wait for the interview first before paying for the application fees. Usually, you have to pay first.

I picked up the approval/GC package on the same day at 11:30 AM.

-- I had my job offer letter notarized. My lawyer said it\'s not necessary; it was notarized any way.
-- Make sure you fill out the 2 forms come with your package 4. One of them was already filled out while my lawyer was filling package 3, but they still ask for it.
-- If your application is employee based, you will be asked to fill out a form there. There are some simple employment questions.

P.S.
- If your interview is in Taipei, make sure you get there early and stand near window 4. I assumed there would be a number system where there is a first come first serve policy, but no, there isn\'t. So I suggest you stand near the window to get to the front of the line. But please don\'t cut lines and let people who get there first be in the front.
- If you could borrow a mobile phone, bring one. After the interview and payment, the lady at Window 8 asked my number. Just in case if something else is needed before the pick up time 11:30 AM, they can contact you.

Good luck to all of you who are going for it!

I checked with all listed hospitals in Taipei

Hi SnowSky
I checked with all listed hospitals in Taipei. It takes 5 working days to get the report in all of them. I went for the Medical Exam on a Wednesday and got it on the Wednesday after. 2 weeks in Taiwan will be sufficient. My interview was today, Thursday, 12/13 and I arrived Taipei on Tuesday last week.
Make sure you make a copy of all documents and bring 3 years of W2\'s. When you go to the Residency Record Office, make sure you get the Birth Registration and the original residence record.
Good luck!

Congrats and SIGN-OFF!

floopyLo, CONGRATS!

I received my plastic card last week.
I sincerely appreciate for all CP Gurus help and wish all
CPer can get the GC without any problem. By the way, it takes about 7 weeks for receiving plastic card(from Date Of Entry). The card is issued by TSC(Texas) and without any INS mark/seal on the envelope, I almost threw it away as a junk mail!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL CPERS...........SIGN-OFF!
 
No Title

Documents do not have to be in English if they are in Chinese.
And I think you only need Police Record from the city of your residency. In other words, I\'ve lived in the US for 11 years and I only need a Police Record from Taipei.
hth,
