AOS Timeline and Experience - NY/NJ
Hello all, like many I've been a long time reader of this site without actually posting anything (as things were going fairly well enough). I had my AOS interview yesterday and wish to share the timeline for any filers in my area (NY, then moved to NJ thereby changing offices).
*Living in Brooklyn, NY at this time.
March 8, 2018 - Application Submitted
March 21 - Receipt notice (text and email)
March 26 - Recept notice in mail
March 30 - Biometrics appointment notice
April 11 - Biometrics completed
April 17 - Case ready to be scheduled for an interview
July 26 - EAD/Travel combo card mailed
July 28 - EAD/Travel combo card received
July 30 - SSC received
*Moved to NJ (nearer to work)
Dec 1 - Change of address requested
Dec 10 - I-485 Interview notice (email)
Dec 15 - I-485 Interview notice (mail)
- case was handled by Newark office, NJ at this time.
Jan 29, 2019 - AOS interview (approved)
Jan 29, 2019 - Card in production
- awaiting card to be mailed/awaiting receipt
The interview itself was very straightforward. The DHS officer actually said to us that he knew our marriage was genuine beforehand simply because when I first applied for a B2 tourist visa at the US Embassy in my home country (Trinidad and Tobago) I had told that officer that I wished to go to the US to visit my gf (now wife) who was in school at that time. It was really surprising that the officer even noted that but hey I'm not complaining it worked out perfectly!
Questions the officer asked:
1. Where did we honeymoon
2. Did we have two marriages (one was civil, one was a convalidation ceremony)
3. How many people attended each wedding
4. Why did we move to New Jersey
Honestly that's it! Beyond the necessary yes/no part from the I-485 application. We did not have loads of extra evidence but I'd like to think what we had was crucial and sufficient - photos, gift receipts, financial info (bank statements, credit cards in both our names etc), the lease to our new place....the only thing he took was the lease and a photocopy of our marriage certificate. So then he said he'd recommend us for approval and that was it! God is great!
Hopefully any filers out there will read this and be encouraged, just as this forum has done for me :)
