May filers, Please post your activities here.

Hello, got 4 NOAs yesterday, one for each of my wife's forms (I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765). All those receipt numbers are showing online. Children's cases still not showing online, different process different timing I guess.
 
I just received a letter requesting me to send a translated form of my wife's birth certificate from French to English. Do you guys know where and how to do this. What are the requirements for this kind of legal document? Please help.

If you know french, you can do it yourself. You will have to certify that you know french and translation is best to your knowledge.
If you have a friend, he can do it, and provide same certificate that he knows french.
Search this forum, you will find examples

Not really, the petitioner or beneficiary CAN NOT translate it themselves. Someone else has to do it per USCIS regulations. You can find a friend to do it for you and just write a note saying that they are bilingual ( French & English) or you can find a company online and pay about $85 to have it done. You can find more information here:

# You don't necessarily have to use to professional translator. However, the translation must be accurate. If there appears to be errors in translation (e.g., because there are so many English misspellings, sentences do not make sense), you may be required to send your documents to a translation service.

# If the document is being submitted in the U.S. (for example, to USCIS), the translation does not have to be notarized. If the document is being submitted outside the U.S. (for example, to the Embassy or Consulate) , it must be notarized.

Translation :-

Any foreign language document must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and correct, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate the foreign language into English.

This is from I-130 instructions.
 
Thank you guys. I appreciate the feedback. That why I love this forum. Most people are reasonable and are here to help.

Hi Everyone,
I had the most important shock over the weekend when I should be relaxing:)....I received my biometrics appointment on Saturday May 29th and to my surprise it was scheduled to be done on May 20, 2010 at 9:00 am. What puzzles me is that I got a text message of a letter being sent out for request for evidence on the 19th of May. Apparently it was my biometrics. The notice date for the fingerprints was the 5th of May...2 days after I had initially submitted the forms and received the receipts. I had called USCIS a couple of times to ask about the message that they had sent me and they were not of much help. They said to wait 15 days after I got the status update from them to pursue it much further. However when I looked on the envelope for the date it was mailed it said the 6th of May. So in this case I dont know who to blame the post office or USCIS.
What I had to do go to the Application Support Centre this morning and they were kind enough to do the Biometrics right there and then.
Now its over and done with.

Next interview letter. I hope this does not happen again.
 
oh man..that is horrible and scary. But i guess all's well if end is well. You got the FP done. Just pray for IL soon

I have a question about expedited processing for the EAD. I've read that some people expedited it. IS everyone allow to do this? How does it work? Do you have to pay extra to have it expedited? Thank you
 
hmmm.. Seems like the process has slowed down a little bit.

Txmayfiler: it took some time for you to received FP notice. Where is your local USCIS office
Amatech: same thing with you. You guys have pretty much same timeline. Where is ur local USCIS office
 
I am a Dallas filer. So I guess the center is the Dallas service center.

Does anybody know if you can do a walk in fingerprints in Dallas?
 
I am frustrated, I have a mailbox in my apartment that my mail is delivered to and on June 3 I got a text from USCIS that my mail was undeliverable on June 2, I mean I was at home when all that transpired. Waited for my mailman the same day that I received the text(he wasnt the regular on the route couldnt tell me why)I mean I have been living there for over year now... So I called USCIS and they told me that I need to register with the local P.O. and they are going to resend the mail, They say I have to wait between one and 45 days. Now I am really worried cause I dont know if its because I missed the fingerprints why they are sending me letter or if my prints were accepted event though they were late...***Sigh***
 
mimi048,
Didn't they send you the FP notice at that same address? If they did, then why weren't they able to deliver your mail this time? That totally sucks! It was probably just a notice about something they're missing or interview date....... Keep us updated..

Anyone knows anything about EAD Expedition? Please Helpppp, I need to expedite mine. How do you do it? Are there any fees? Thank you
