hey Caligirl my green card got approved on 7/14, it first said card was produced and now it says it is approved for i-485 .........Now I will just have to wait for the card to come in hand. best of luck to you.

Cool. Congratulations!! Good to see they are approving greencard in this Covid lockdown time.

Ires : heyy, how are you? did you get any update on your i-485?

[JRI]

Oh,right,because you DIDN'T send it with the initial application, it is 60 days. Crap

Not sure if you already got your medical again... it doesn’t say it’s only valid for 60 days. It says

“NOTE: The Form I-693 must be dated no earlier than 60 days before you filed your underlying application.”

from what I’m getting it means you should not get medical done more than 60 before you submit your AOS application. I’m on the same boat, medical done in February for March interview but from what I’m getting once application is submitted and you go get medical done it will be valid for two years.

my interview is August, I’m a June 2019 applicant

JRI, you're right,the problem is,if you do your medical shortly before your originally for March scheduled interview,but that got cancelled cause of Covid....it's unfortunate, but it's maybe not valid anymore, depending on when the new interview date will be. I think,they should be fair and say,it's fine- cause it's not our fault....right?

It’ll stay valid for 2 years - imo it’s unlikely that the interview will not be rescheduled within that timeframe, so I wouldn’t worry about having to redo the medical.

Thanks! I think this line means that the form is valid for 2 years.

"USCIS issues a decision on the underlying immigration benefit application no more than 2 years after the date the civil surgeon signed Form I-693"

[Caligirl]

So,now we're all waiting for our new interview date

[Caligirl]

I got the notification, that my interview has been scheduled! Now waiting for the letter with the actual date! Finally movement!!

congrats and best of luck! Can you share your org date, when it got cancelled and new date for interview please?

At this time I am hoping my interview date is mid September or after so that I don't have to apply for removing restrictions in 2 years

[Caligirl]

mymyselfandi : my initial application was received by uscis Chicago lockbox 17th july'19....interview first was scheduled for March 30th, but got cancelled around two weeks before that date due to shutdown. I hope,I'll get the letter with the new date this week,and I'll post it here.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what exactly is form G-56?

Me and my husband got married May of last year and I filed for I-485 in the summer based on his application. He filed for EB2 and I was the dependent. His interview was before mine and he got his GC before my interview. Around Nov of last year I had my interview and April of this year (after a couple of months after interview) I got my GC as well. A week ago, I received a form which is G-56 and the reason for appointment is "I-485 application to register permanent residence or adjust status". I believe I have to meet the same officer who interviewed me. Also the recipient of the letter is me and not my husband.
Please let me know if you have any information about this and what should I prepare for this office visit (maybe second interview)

It’s a second interview.
You might be a separate

[Caligirl]

I couldn't find an exact answer, but if you have already received your greencard,it's most likely not a stokes interview. Hopefully just a review of the decision that officer made.
