Card Being Produced!
Hi everyone,
I just wanted share my experience for AOS from F1 to LPR based on marriage. First of all thanks to all the people on this forum who have helped me along the way. I did not use any other resources except this forum and carefully reading all the instruction forms for each petition submitted.
Here is a brief timeline:
6/6/17: USPS delivered to Lockbox
6/8/17: PD
6/30/17: Fingerprint fee received
7/30/17: RFIE received on i485 - Income level (more on this below)
8/10/17: RIFE response received by USCIS (new PD!!)
8/30/17: Request to expedite EAD
9/10/17: Congressional Inquiry on EAD expedite request
9/20/17: EAD received
1/15/18: Interview Notice
4/10/18: Interview at Philadelphia field office (IO-Didn't give any "approval letter" or anything, just mentioned that they needed to check some admin stuff and we can expect to hear from them in 2-5 weeks)
4/12/18: Card Production
A little background on my case. My USC wife was not working at the time we filed our petition or even when we appeared for an interview. While form i864 clearly says that intending immigrants income can be used to meet poverty limit (which I do, by a few folds) we still received an RFIE on this. I really wanted to fight them on this but thankfully someone on this forum just told me to comply and use a joint sponsor which we ended up doing. Which probably saved a lot of time and headache. At the same time, you hear some people giving advise like you will have no chance at a green card if your spouse is not working, etc. etc. All I have to say that each immigration case is unique and like everything else, take all the advise you get (including my post) with a grain of salt. If you have a bona fide application, there is not much to worry about; unless you are in some of those NYC field offices with outrageous wait times.
The interview itself was extremely simple. We took a lot of documents and the IO basically talked to us for a while about completely unrelated stuff and verified few information on the form. Then went through the YES/NO questions, and that's pretty much it.
Please keep you head up and stay positive. Good luck to all of you and thanks for all your help.
