July & August Tracker!!!!!!With no reciept yet

Received Card in Mail

I just wanted to update the status, we got the card in the mail yesterday 12/3.
Good Luck to everbody. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my queries.
 
wow things are moving for us. I just want to let you guy know that I opened my business and I just landed my first client and started my first project with her yesterday. Very nice lady from Israel.

My interview will be here soon and I don't think I'll be taking my attorney, he wants $1200.00 we already gave him $1300.00. What you guys think, I mean with my overstay and all?

Had my interview today, i took my attorney, because i overstayed approximately 2yrs, everything went fine, most of the question was for me and my husband, attorney sat quietly, but started chatting with the attorney later, they seemed like they were friends, listen to your heart, it will tell you if you need to go with your attorney, but in my opinion i will say go with him, don't worry about the money, you will get it back, money is meant to be spent especially on important issues like this one. may God be with you,Remember to ask God for Favor.
 
Trini,

Do not take an attorney; it is a waste of money. You will be fine. You have been married more than 2 years. I would just go and not worry about it to much. And you know overstay is not a problem if you are married to USC.

As I mention in my earlier post, we didn't have any complicating issue with our application. If you're case is not that complicating, I would not take the attorney with you. Let's say your attorney's billing you $250 an hour. You're not going to get to an interview right away when you arrive at your appointment time. So, you'll wait and every minute means $$! :eek: We waited total of 1 hour between the lrg waiting room, the smaller one upstairs and then for stamp later.

I dont have an attorney...I did everything by myslef and I would lie if I said that I didnt have any help...the angel helped me-some lawyer I found at the very few days before the hike...she went over my papers over the phone and fax-didnt charge me anything...everything was all set...:)I overstayed too but I am not planing on taking any lawyer with me...I don't think Im gonna need it...so in Your case with the baby I wouldnt hire the lawyer...go for a vacation later on for that money;)btw congarts on your buisness:)wish You all the best!
 
Thank you guys, my intension's all alone was to take him along. Then we ran into some money problems. Like I said before he worked with an immigration consultant and she did all the paper work and I didn't get a ref. I don't think at this point we'll take him, but then again it's up to what money we have. Thanks for your impute. BTW I don't think he'll do any good my confidence of him is not all that great. Yes I've been putting a lot of trust in God and he always come through. Godislove congrats.
 
Approved !!!

Hi ....

To day we had the interview scheduled at 13:00 and 13:30hrs. We were in the USCIS office well in time with our daughter accompanying us, as the petitioner. The IO was a petite sweet African American lady who escorted us to her room. After some pleasantary exchanges, she made us take the oath and first opened my wife's file. Then she asked for her passport and removed the I-194. She went through the file throughly. In particular, she looked at the affidavits we got from two elderly relatives in the absence of Birth Certificates and the letter from our Embassy to confirm nonavailability of Birth certificates. She asked my wife if it is the only marriage we had and how many children we have. In all she took 35 minutes to comlete the scrutiny and put the "APPROVED" stamp on her file.

Then she took my file and in 10 mins finished the work. She put the "APPROVED" stamp and in addition wrote down in Red ink "Approved" written reversely starting "d e v o r p p A" without any fumbling!

The only question she asked our daughter was about her profession and how much she was making, to verify her W2 and her Employer's letter.

Then she told us that she was approving our cases and that we should expect to receive our cards in 2-3 weeks time. When I asked her if she would like to stamp our passports, she mentioned that normally it is not done, unless we are leaving the country immediately.

All the proceedings were videotaped now and then.

We thanked her and she escorted us back to the reception room.

That was the sweet ending of our so called AOS interview!!!

We wish to thank everyone of you who have been helping each other in some way or other during this long process. We also wish all of you goodluck, especially you "TRINIGIRL". Thanx for maintaining the excell data base and starting this thread.

Congrats Coho! I was thinking of you today, I remembered when you got your interview, that it was the same day as my child support case with my son's dad. I'm happy everything went great, good luck to you and your wife. BTW everything went well for me and my case, that deadbeat got what was coming to him. Now my son is getting the support he deserved for the past 15+ years and he was not able to blackmail me that I had overstayed. He did not have time to bring up anything about my status, I was wishing he did, so I could pull out my new ID and work card. Today for the first time I felt I had the upper hand on his stupid a#@! Another chapter in my life that I can put behind me. My interview on Tuesday, well, I have faith that, that to will be another chapter.
 
Congrats!
