I know others are waiting longer than I have, but after getting to the final step (interview)
you'd think it's over. Sigh, I'll waiting until next week to find out what's happening (30 days)

Congratulations to those who have received their GC! My journey continues......

Interview- 05-31-18

No EAD received, we had the interview yesterday. It was chilled, the officer was very friendly, he didn’t ask us too much questions, he just confirmed the details on the application, asked us how we met? When he proposed, location of proposal, then the Yes and No questions. We had a lease that had my name, my husbands name, my sister and her husbands name. I explained to them that its cheaper for us to share an apartment and most of the utilities were in their names, we had rentals insurance, life insurance, Tmobile family plan. And pictures, he asked to take some of the pictures, asked to see the wedding pictures, he said everything looks good, if he needs anything he will mail me, if not he will mail the card within 10days. My lawyer asked him for a letter, he gave us one but didn’t tick approved. He ticked the 2nd box that said USCIS cannot complete your case at this time.

Then he ticked the box that said , we didn’t require any documentation from you, we will mail you if we need anything or mail you a decision if your case is closed.’

Any one with similar experiences?? I don’t know what to expect. I’m confused. i also checked my status online, it hasn’t been updated since January 31st 2018. So I really cant expect much from them, I have never gotten update from them via email or text message or the online portal before.

Hello everyone,

I have a general question on behalf of a friend, anyone here that has had to move to another state for their job and spouse cant relocate because of their job?

How did this look when you went for your interview living in separate state/houses? I have a friend in similar situation that needs a general advice. She started up living with her spouse for a year plus and recently landed a big job offer that is just hard to turn down. The offer is in a different state. Her lawyer did tell her it may not look good living in separate houses/states prior to the interview. In her case it's been over a year no interview. I did advice her to move as man the pay is good and could make her marriage a happier one. Her spouse also advices her to move that they can make it work traveling back and forth on weekends but how would this look when they go for an interview living in different states?

What do you guys advice?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

Please i have a question for someone i already gave my own side of view(a single form to be petitioned jointly) from my understanding but we both just want our views be validated by other experiences out here who has done this before.

On conditional GC removal (form i-751) with the petition being filed jointly with the spouse, are they both submitting single form signed together or each spouse have to submit each form separately???

Your swift response would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Changed address right before they scheduled interview Dec 2017
After they cancelled it.
Scheduled another interview
April 2018 got interview notice same day it supposed to be interview
But interview was morning so we had to reschedule because we got mail few hours later interview was scheduled. Hope it makes sense
In two weeks got another interview notice for April 30th
Interview went well. No decision got 120 no inquiry notice.
June 1st card being produced. Online status hasn't changed from interview scheduled the 1st one in December.
I didn't get updated for the 2nd and 3rd interview notice.
For Queens and Manhattan fillers I saw some people didn't get decision for a month after interview from these offices.

Good luck to all of you guys. I feel pain of those of you who is waiting way longer then others.

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone in this forum you all help me a lot.

My journey started in October or 2016

P.D 10/27/16

11/8/17 Uscis accepted the fingerprint fee

11/29/16 Fingerprint

11/28/16 Got an email saying “Request for Evidence” wait for the mail to come and it was the funniest request apparently we forgot to date one page.

12/8/16 Uscis receive my evidence and start working on my case again

12/21/16 ready to schedule interview

02/10/17 got my EAD

After that nothing 3 services request 2 info pass lots of calling nothing.

08/18/ 17 Finally got schedule for interview 9/20/17 2.10pm

Day of interview arrived early 1.15 just to be safe didn’t get called until 3.25pm

IQ very nice lady she and my husband got on like house on fire they talk for like 45 minutes before she was like let me start this interview cause I have to leave at 5pm and she was like I still have another interview to do she called to get someone to take her last interview and no one would she is like I wasn’t suppose to conduct interviews today but her co-worker called out so she stuck. At end of interview she said u guys are great together and handed me a paper saying she cannot make a decision. I look at paper very disappointed and ask her do I have to wait the 120 days she is like no u will hear something sooner.

My husband was like babe don’t be disappointed she just don’t want to do any work.

10/06/17 I-130 got approved.

I started calling after a month nothing did service request, info pass, even reach out to the congressman nothing worked.

I let my EAD expired because I keep thinking it will be approved anytime

My husband decided to go to Federal Plaza , he started to tell our story to the lady at the front desk so the lady said wait u need to tell this guy your story, the guy she brought happen to be the Section Chief as my husband was telling him the story cause he was convince the IO just left it on her desk collecting dust he is like give me a minute went to the back came back with my file told my husband give him a week to fix the problem he have it to his guy ,of course week came and went nothing happen , my husband went twice back to Federal Plaza both time guy was out finally on 3rd visit chief said am sorry sir but we lost your wife file (How do u lose a file in 3 week). My husband was like what am I suppose to do the SC was like if we can’t find it you will have to file again and he said no what’s other my alternative Sc was getting approval of the Regional Director (We not sure who is that).

This was a Thursday my husband told SC I will be back on Tuesday unfortunately he couldn’t go that day I was disappointed. On Wednesday (April 18 to be exact) as he was heading out to go Federal plaza I got an email saying they ordered my new card, 7 months after my interview I was the happiest person alive.

April 23rd my card was mail out to me

April 25th card in hand was super excited because I got a 10 year green (Married June 27th) card am like all this trouble it was worth it because I do not have to go down this road again.

April 26th wend to social security and dmw office and lifted all restrictions and booked my 1st trip (going to Paris ) aboard since I came to the USA.

April 27th SC called to talk to my husband and if gave me the opportunity to say thank you to him he was like sorry for the delay but your husband really loves you and he fought for u , he was surprise when I told him I got 10 year green card,he told my husband that he would look into it and get back to us.

April 30th he called said I have to return my green card because of an error uscis did, if I don’t return it I would have problems when time for citizenship.

At that point I was just done after 7 months of waiting to be told this I just couldn’t do it anymore.

5/3/18 walked into Federal Plaza and handed in my green card in exchange for a i-1551 stamp fill out necessary paperwork to get my replacement card and am still waiting as of 6/1/18.

This journey has been a frustrating one but because of this forum I had hope.

Now am not sure if i want to go on my Paris trip which is next week because i don;t have the actual card.

I received my Interview Notice via text and email that it has been scheduled. I received that notice on the 25th of May 2018. I have still not received my letter yet in the mail for my spouse. Any ideas on how long it takes for the letter to be received?
