Missingyou

I am sorry about your situation. It must be an awful feeling not knowing what's going on with GUZ. From pink (crazily happy) to not getting visa on time (crazily confused), you have been to heaven and back on earth now... I hope they will at least reply your fax on Thursday... Good luck!

Hey mikepellicore, Congratulations! See your timeline and your wife got her SSN and GC so quickly. My wife entered US 6/4/09 as IR1 in San Francisco and we applied SSN at local Social Security Office on 6/8/09 (they told us even we selected to apply SSN on DS-230 Part II, it was not in the system by then so we needed to apply). Anyway, as of today, we are still waiting for her SSN and the welcome letter from USCIS. Do not know why it takes so long for us. Should we ask Social Security or USCIS about our concerns? Thanks, lvlp Hi, Mikepellicore My sis-in-law entered US as a CR-1 in late May through SFO as well, but she has not gotten her GC yet, only welcome letter came two weeks after. I called USCIS for her and was told that the center that prints all the GC for the western side of US is under construction and the production is delay by this. She is waiting for the GC for drivering test in WA. USCIS said that the welcome letter will serve as a GC at the moment for my sis-in-law, stating her status in US. I think some weeks ago, I saw some related articles in USCIS's website about this center being delay too. I think you are still fine. One persone from VJ.com entered US in mid-May through SFO (I think also CR-1) already got GC couple weeks ago.

In June, I've called USCIS inquiring the current version of G-325A I should use with my AOS, I was told that it is still valid and ignore the expiration date. I used it and so far just got through AOS bio appt.

Great news. happy for ya!

Great news. Looks like your process went very smooth and quicky. My hus just did his AOS bio apt on 7/7. I hope to hear updates from USCIS soon.

same here, I would pretend I didn't get the notice and still go to the appt. do you think the local office knows USCIS is sending out those cancel notices? what if USCIS is not communicating well with the local offices and then they have no idea you got a cancel notice? If you put your receipt # online, does it say anything?

I don't know about now...but about 4 years ago, my cousin lost his gc. He came here on K-1 and got his gc shortly after. He also lost his gc and I believe it took him a little oer 4 months to get that replaced. Again, it was years ago, not sure about timeline today. For my hus's EAD and SS card, I just color copied and laminated for him. He carries that in his wallet and leave the original in our safely box. I plan to do the same thing for him when he gets is gc too.

Thank you to both Tom & Ling and Americhin. We are from Washington, but are in the process of relocating to NY, so we put our new address in NY down on the AOS forms. We will be flying to NY for this appt, so we want to make sure that we don't leave any important thing behind, otherwise the price will be too costly to us. We plan to fly bk to WA the same day. Our appointment is at 1pm, so we should have plently of time before our 7pm flight back. Our plan will land in NY about 10am that morning, we plan on going straight to the office. If we are too early, than we will just until we will be call. I guess better early than sorry. Thank you for the detail informations. My husband and I love to worry about everything thing, so CFL and everyone's help here sure helped us a lot.

Glad to know it went well. Did they ask you relationship related questions other than taking their photos and prints? Should I bring some supporting docs just in case? My hus finally got bio apt notice yesterday. Ours will be on 7/7 at Woodside, NY.

Thanks. Called twice this morning, unable to get pass the operator. USCIS told me to wait for 60 days before calling back... 60days??? If I am lucky, I might have GC appointment then. I will give it few more days to see if bio appt arrives. I am just worry if I don't get the letter and not show up at the bio appt, USCIS will automatically withdraw our case as we give up our application. I have seen couple members there saying not showing up at appointed time is bad.

It has been a week since my hus got his AOS P-1, but no bio appt letter received yet... Should I call USCIS? I can check the status online, but it only says case pending and blah blah blah. Will the USCIS operator know time and date of his bio appt? Thanks.

Good luck. Yes, by looking at your timeline, your K-1 speed is not bad at all. Bring us your good news!! =)

Good luck on your interview! =)

One funny thing is that for question #2, my hus said we were husband and wife in China, and now we are still husband and wife in US. So the officer said, "I know, I am asking before you two got married..." My hus said, "before that we weren't husband and wife then..." I thought what kind of answer is the officer looking for? Of course, before marriage, everyone would be just friends for awhile as the couple get to know each other first, right? Funny to me...

Last month, when going through a POE in CA, I just went to the visitor line with my hus. He was asked about his valid K-3 related questions. (questions might not be in order as i 4got already) 1) how long we waited for this visa? 2) what is our relationship, before and now? 3) what do we do for living in US? 4) why did we travel out of US? (though we just took a cruise and never left US ground except the ship sailed across the international boudary) 5) what are we bringing back to US 6) when will we file for AOS and why waited this long? 7) what happened to our CR-1 route?

Thank you very much for sharing. My hus and I now feel more comfortable about our upcoming AOS interview, which we hope to take place after October 2009 (when we met our 2yrs).

Getting closer to the BIG DAY. Good luck to you and please come report your good news! =)

a long wait for visa pick up, but all came to a happy ending now. cheers!

Only 2 months...not bad. Congrats. So, gonna prepare for the citizenship now? =)

I heard usually when case is transferred to CSC, no interview will be needed. i think you can look fwd to getting your green card in the mail in the next couple months. I have just received my I-795 notice and waiting for bio appt letter.

Wonderful news! =)

Ì«ºÃ~\(¨R¨Œ¨Q)/~À²À²À² CHEERS FOR YOU!

Congrats! My hus is still waiting for USCIS to cash our AOS check. Sigh...

Helloworld, now you should change you screen name to HAPPYWORLD!! =) Congrats! Happy for you!

For the previous times I was at GUZ, ACH went well for the the 1st time then the 2nd time I didn't get my questions answers and was rushed away. I think it just all depends on your luck and the VO you get that day. As for the ACS, it was good. The VOs there were all very helpful and polite. They spoke good Chinese too, well, at least better mandarin than my native Cantonese tongue.
