Is this normal interview letter?

F

Feb2002Case

Registered Users (C)
I received a letter from UCICS (INS) asking me to come to local office (Newark) for some official matter and bring sertain documents for 485.

Is this how interview letter normally look like or I am called just to verify something and then the case will go back to Vermont? Please advise.

My online status has not changed even though it is almost one month since I received this letter.

Has anybody gone thru the same kind of letter?
 
Guys,

Why does not anybody like to reply to my threads?

Is this not a valid question or is it in wrong forum?

I had another question posted a month back related to same thing that generated 100's of views but 0 reply :confused:

Just curious.

Thanks in advance.

Some time you will not get answer. It happens with everyone. People share the information certainly if they have any.
You need to write certain details. What is RD and ND? What is status of you case. Like is it transferred to the local office? If this letter is without transfer then it is weird?
Did you file for EAD online recently? Give some more details.

I don't know if its transferred to local office or not as online status did not change.

Sound like a serious matter to me (the video taping part). This is NOT normal. You better talk to a lawyer and take him to the interview.
 
Recently lot of people getting video tape thing on the interview letter. One of my friend also got it last week. It might be new policy. He has similar interview letter. All the best. You will get stamping on the interview day if security clearance is already done.
 
Don't worry. Nothing is serious. Even video taping part. This is usually letter from local office if your case transferred. Let me tell you my experience.

My case was transfer to local office. When they schedule an interview they will send this kind of letter. My letter was same as yours. They ask you to bring everything(all the documents) and in that letter they say that interview MAY be video taped. So don't worry. Take all your documents which are specified in the letter. Also keep the other documents whic are not mentioned. Like your educations certificates, experience letters....

After the interview the officer may stamp your passport if he/she has the visa number/security check is done. That means your green card is approved. Let me know if you need additional info.

Thanks a lot. I was very tensed and now I am relieved. Is it possible for you to mention exactly what other documents I need to carry? Anything I should prepare? Whats your experiance like questions asked etc.?

Thanks again.
 
looks like all febs are getting this

I spoke to an officer today.

Told me my case is transferred to local office.
 
Good luck and congratulations.

Most probably you will be approved on that day. My case was transfer to the local office. Received same type of latter. Be relax and confident. That’s the key.

Check your passport.
1.When you last came to USA, which port.
2.Where you travel in last 5 years and for how long.

If possible check those documents which you have send for your I-485. Check what ever you mentioned in your I-485

Normally they don’t ask any thing except when you last came and from which port. May be ask for your job.
Initially they will take oath and then ask certain questions like involvement with some drugs, doing anything against America…… I don’t remember any of those questions except that I was saying NO to all of them :)

After that they will ask other questions like the ones I mentioned above.
Be relax and confident these interviews are generally the easiest interview you ever had.
Even if they start asking questions they will be touching some things and move forward so its good if you know what your passport say and what ever you mentioned in your application.
This is done every where with every one I think.

For documents.

It’s a good idea to take original and one photocopy.
She asked me for my pay stub or tax document. I told her t
"
hat I had photocopies and she even didn’t bother to check my originals. She only took copies and attached with my file.

If they asked for medical then go to same doctor and asked them for the copy. Normally they keep one copy.

1. take 3 years of Tax return.
2. last 3 paystub
3. bank statement
4. if married – marriage certificate
5. kids birth certificate if any
6. passport
7. I-94s
8. your birth certificate
9. educational certificate
10. latter from your employer – if asked or if you can get one

I can’t recall any thing else but I hope you will get an idea about documents and don’t forget to take photocopies.
Try to be on time and turn off your cell.

They will take your finger print on a blank form. If there is any change in address than give that too.
If there is any change in status like married or kids or anything. Than keep documents for that too.

Hope this will help.
Best of luck.
