no 88=>hmmlwtg interview approved rd february 2001

Another Interview approved
hmmlwtg - 01:44pm Feb 16, 2002 EST
My 485 case has approved after the interview Friday
2/15. Here is my detailed.
RD 2/01
ND 3/01
FP 5/01
2nd FP 9/01
xfer to San Jose 11/01
notice received 1/02 and scheduled for 2/02
The interview process was a pleasant one. The officer
is nice and well organized. We prepared all the possible
original copies filed with the 485 and went along with
our attorney. After the sword we were asked to finger print
and signed the paper work, then were asked the those standard
question in the 485 application form. At last I was asked about
the detailed information about my career, and the employment
letter, he kept the letter and asked for 2000 tax return and
kept the copy, and also asked for our children birth certificate
and keep the photo copy. It all took arround 45 minutes and
our passport were stamped. When my attorney asked why we got
interview, it is just for employment check and if we were CCCP
party member.
For people who are preparing interview, probably you want to
make a copy of all your original, just in case the officer wants
to keep a copy of it. The officer were asking for both our children
birth certificates, and we only have a photo copy of one of our
children, and he was just happy to accept the one we gave him, not
asking for the other one we didn\'t have a copy.
Good luck for all other San Jose interview Club members!!!

no 91=>cheetah approved rd may 04 2001

Yahoo........AOS approved. Few questions and PCee , please update your record
cheetah - 11:02am Feb 17, 2002 EST
I heard the magic words before the weekend. Our (me & my wife) AOS applications were approved on 11th Dec. From LC to I485 application it took little less than 2 years (out of which there was a significant delay of three month from my side before filing I485 because I had difficulty in getting my wife\'s birth certificate)
Details -
NO RFE in the whole process starting with Labor
Tracking name - cheetah (in PCee\'s tracking list)
Category EB2 RIR (India)
Priority Date - June 29,2000
WAC # - WAC01228xxxxx
I140 approved - 1/3/2001
FP schedule - 11/23 (for me in SF) (12/11) (for my wife in SJ)
Both of us did FP in SJ on 11/16
EAD approved - 10/30/2001 (never received EAD in mail probably because we
changed address). Got my "interim" EAD done from SJ INS on 12/26
I485 Receipt date 5/4/01 Notice Date - 7/6/01
Approval Date - 2/11/02 (again I am asked to go to SF and my wife is aksed to go to SJ for stamping)
We are planning to go to SF together. I have couple of questions -
We are asked to carry 2 ADIT photographs. Are they same as the photographs we submitted during I485 ?
How long does it take in SF office ? I heard that SF office is better than SJ as far as wait time is concerned ?
Do they allow drinking water , milk inside the INS building (because we have to take our two year old daughter along) ?
We moved after filing I485. Do they ask for correct address during passport stamping or we need to mention it explicitly ?
I will appreciate if I get the inputs from the folks who have already visited SF INS office.
This a great forum. I would like to thank all the folks like PCee who keep this forum active & alive. I wish & pray for all of you who are waiting for I485 aproval, that you will see your approval soon. There is no doubt that , it is a tedious and frustrating wait but there is light at the end of the tunnel.....

203. Case approved !
Posted By: united win 2/18/02 4:30 PM
(#309 of 310)
Hi All,
Last night when the AVM was checked, it went as
"This case is approved. On Feb 15th the approval notice was mailed ..."
On Jan 25th, I sent photo copies of recent pay stubs and W-2
form (of the primary applicant) by FedEx to INS at the address :
California Service Center
24000 Avila Road, 2nd Floor, Room 2302
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677

I am not sure if it helped in anyway. But it did not slow down.
Since I read that when they call for RFE, they ask for these
documents, I thought it might certainly help sending these in
any situation.

While waiting for our approval notice to arrive by mail so we can
go for passport stamping, we hope and pray that you get your
approvals soon too.

Thanks to everyone who keep the spirit of this board going.
Particular thanks to PCee - please keep up your good work.

Also, let me take this opportunity to remind you to visit
http://www.intel.com/cure/

Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
united win.
