US citizen parents sponsoring over 21 son..

Congrats to all, this has been one of the best day for FB1 bulletin. We can now get along with our lives. I am doing alright.

Mermaid, Xerostomic and Csiq you guys truly deserve it, I couldn't wait for you guys to become current.....do some shouting out and celebrate when you get the Greencard.

Please dont abandoned this site when you all get your GC. Others are still out there.

Looking at your part of the timeline above, have you received your EAD by now? Also, Can you tell me when you received the interview notice and where is your file location/ interview? I also want to know if your sponsor (parent?) has to accompany you? Thanks.

RSRK,
I received my EAD on March 13, and received interview notice on may 26. my file was at local office. my mom went to interview with me. (all requirements will show in the interview letter).

also i share my shot interview experience-------> CONFIDENCE & HONESTY are very very important. I felt the VO was testing me at some points. for example he asked me an unrelated question suddenly during the conversation " when did u get marry ?" i was so surprised and i looked at him & said slowly " Sir, i am still single." the rest questions were very simple. (such as what is your name? when did u come to us etc.. ) in the end, before i left, the VO shaked my hand and congratulated me and my mom that I got the GC. at the same time, VO suddenly asked me why are your hand so cold? "i am nervous" i answered directly.
that's all, 7 years and 10 minutes waiting.... it's nothing, it's everything.

GOOD LUCK EVERY ONE.

Drownfish,
Thank you very much for the information. You mentioned that you received EAD on March 13 and your timeline says that the EAD card producation was ordered on March 12th. Do you mean you saw it ordered on March 12th and received it the next day ie: March 13th?

I saw online the following status for my son's EAD receipt no:
-----------------
Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On July 2, 2009, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register
-----------------
I am guessing that he will get his EAD card within a month. Secondly, he received a letter saying that his file has been transferred to CSC- why I do not know- he is based in New Jersey working on H1.
Lastly, my son has his lawyer working for his case and hence has also filed form G-28 for Notice of appearance by an attorney. Any idea if you think I will still be required to be present at the interview as a sponsor?

Drownfish, I had asked in my earlier post if I as sponsor will be required to attend the interview along with my son. The reason I am asking because I live in California and my son lives in New Jersey from where his papers were filed. Also my daughter is a co-sponsor. If both of us have to be present, then we will have to make travel plans- RSRK

Hi RSRK, i can't recall the exactly date that i received the EDA, but i did receive the card within 3 days after i got the card production email.

i think u have to appear at the interview since u are the petitioner. The interview location, it depends on where is your son's file at. i guess u will have the interview in CA. anyway, everything will be clear when u or ur son receive the interview letter. u mean that co-sponsor is financial support right. if that so, i guess ur daughter does not have to come with u.

Actually neither you nor your daughter need to be there UNLESS it's specifically requested in the interview letter. Personally, I'd still suggest you to go, but certainly no need for his sister.
 
Affadavit of support

hi, Are we supposed to notarize affadavit of support because in affadavit of support there is no place for notarization, but my lawyer first said that affadavit of support needs to be notarized, but later she said that new version of form doesn't need to be notarized.

No it's not needed.
 
Drownfish, Please reply if u are still around. Have you received your GreenCard (the physical card) by the 10th day of your interview as per ur timeline? I mean u had ur interview on 8th July and received ur GC on 18th July? That was really fast! Also was your passport stamped for GC on the day of the interview?

Farmland, your timeline is similar to my son's (adult, over 21, unmarried)whom I have petitioned. He has received his EAD card and now scheduled for interview on 2nd Sep 2009. I am planning to go with him to Newark USCIS center(he lives in New Jersey and I in California)though the interview letter has mentioned " the petitioner may come". Did u receive ur interview letter by now?

tax returns

hi, did you guys submitted or are submitting sponsors tax returns of past 3 years or only the most recent year.
 
Instructions say that tax return for the most recent year is required and previous two are optional. If you have transcripts then W2s are not necessary, but with tax returns you need to include W2s. I am just going to include last tax return plus W2 and recent paystubs and also my own bank statements. Hope there will be no RFE...

RSRK,

No I have not received my interview letter. The Last Updated date(LUD) on my 485 application still shows 6/9 which is the date when they issued the biometrics appointment notice. I'm assuming I should see another LUD when they issue the interview notice. What's the LUD on your son's 485 application?
 
Where do you guys register to receive email updates on your case?
Also, when do you get an A (alien) number? Do you have it on receipt notice?

I need to file FAFSA asap and I need an A number for that. Just wondering how long it takes to get one.
