Hi all,
Recently I was laid on 10/13/2004 by my previous employer who was the primary sponsor of my approved I-140, while our I-485 applications was pending. Our I-485 applications were filed on 6/15/2003 at BCIS - California Service Center.
On 10/20/2004 the current status of our I-485 were changed to as follows :
Current Status:
On October 19, 2004, we transferred your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status to our office in SACRAMENTO, CA for them to schedule and conduct your interview. Scheduling can take several months. Our office in SACRAMENTO, CA will notify you when they schedule your interview or take other action on your case. If you need further information, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.
I have since found a new job which is exactly the same kind of job I used to do with my previous employer though the salary is lesser for about 2K per year than with the salary when my I-140 was filed.
Questions :
1.) Do I still need to file for AC21 even though we're just now waiting for our interview appointment?
2.) If I still need to file one, where will I send it? Still to California Service Center in Laguna Nigel or to the local INS office here in Sacramento where my case was transferred to?
3.) Or can I simply just bring the AC21 letter during the interview?
4.) Will my lesser salary with my current employer, cause a problem in my AC21?
5.) Do I need to get a lawyer to draft the AC21 letters? Any recommendations, preferably someone with AC21 experience?
6.) What happens during the interview? Will documents be reviewed? Will my change of employer affect the approval of our AC21?
7.) Can our passports be stamped after the interview, assuming everything went fine?
8.) What sort of questions are asked during the interview?
