January 2010 Filers, post here

Hi again,

I just got IL. Now waiting for EAD and I-94 original. I got a copy but I guess I'd need original for Interview. Lexin I think its a good idea to use infopass if you don't get IL till the end of the week. Good Luck.
 
In that case my IL should be in the mail because i applied almost 2 weeks before you did to MSC. Isn't the I-94 stapled white paper on the passport?? [i sent them the copy]



DO: MSC
01/08 (Day 1) Package sent to Chicago (I-130, I-485, I-864, I-765, I-693, G-325A)
01/12 (Day 4) Documents received at Chicago
01/13 (Day 5) Checks cashed
01/16 (Day 15) NOA received by mail for I-485, I-765 and I-130
01/23 (Day 16) FP letter received for 02/02/10
02/02 (Day 26) FP Done
 
Hey Lexin,

Yeah that's your I-94, it can be either white or green depending on what country you entered from. Hopefully you get your IL soon. ; )
 
Wow.. Congratulations Chicagomixed.. I wonder if I will receive my IL soon. Coz I sent my package 1 day before you, DO Los Angeles though... Hopefully I receive mine within these weeks..

I got my biometrics done on 02/16/2010 and have not yet received the interview letter. How long before I should expect one? Also, the LUD and status on either 131 or 130 has not changed after finger prints. Is that normal? Can some verify their LUD and status? Thanks!

The following is the online status of my applications (Packet sent to Chicago FB, Service center MSC, Field office - Pittsburgh)

Form - LUD - Online Status
485 - 02/17/2010 - Acceptance
130 - 01/28/2010 - Initial Review

Achill,

As I mentioned earlier, they are not updating the online status. So don't feel down about it.
Please give us your actual detail timeline, so that we can see which day you are at right now.

In terms of stamping your passport at the interview, there is no guarantee, since each office is different, but a majority of the offices don't stamp passports unless the applicants ask and can show the reason to travel in the next two weeks. Yes it can be used to travel.

My wife and I went for her interview last week. The officer didn't offer a stamp, nor did we asked because there was no need for it.

I might me traveling after the interview but before I get the actual card. If the officer does not stamp my passport, is it acceptable to use AP - Travel document after the green card is approved but the physical card not yet received? OR do we need AP - Entry Permit?

My length of stay will NOT exceed 3 months.

Hey guys, I wonder if we should bring our original Naturalization Certificate to the interview? Or can we bring copy?
The reason is the post office still has my original Naturalization Cert (expect it to be back within 4-6 weeks) and we received the IL for 04/20/2010.
Please advice. Thanks!!

You will most likely get back your naturalization certificate back. The IO would ask for naturalization certificate for sure as that's the only evidence you have to prove that you are a USC. Take your US passport also if you get it.
I follow the simple rule of taking all the USCIS related stuff to the interview. If the IO asks for some document that is not in your possession it could just delay the process. Why take chances :)
 
Thanks immiggeek, hopefully I'll get back my Naturalization Cert before the interview date :)
