October 2018 Filers

[natassiawallen1]

I just got an update that RFIE was mailed. I guess it will be tax returns for this year. Let?s see.
Im an Atlanta filer too. We have the same timeline.

Awesome! Keep me posted on your timeline. Good luck

A birth certificate should not have anything to do with getting married or divorced.

Idw why. But this is the law in Brazil. 😕

Oh I see, maybe they are taking into account she has two children and you to support so her income threshold will have to be higher so will require a co-sponsor. My wife only made enough in the last year too but its just the two of us.
As far as no birth certificate they have to have a copy so you can prove where you were born. They seem quite demanding on copies of your birth certificate for several parts of the application process.
Good luck, hope you can sort it out.

We live in Miami and we do not make much money here.

I my opinion the value to be a sponsor should be different in Florida and Massachusetts for example.

My wife has 2 children and in the last years she didn?t make enough to be my sponsor. but last year she made enough so I believe they will accept.

Im from Brazil and I don?t have birth certificate because i was married there! I just have a marriage certificate with a note that I'm divorced.

I don't know if they'll approve your case without a birth certificate, sorry. Maybe contact your embassy or consulate.

AOS, married to USC

10/11/18 - PD
11/14/18 - biometrics completed
11/15/18 - RFE
12/06/18 - USCIS received our response for RFE
12/26/18 - EAD received via mail

Is this finally our interview?
Just wondering why it?s written there to bring ?Your Green Card? when this interview is for the green card?

Anyone who had the same notice via case tracker?

I can?t wait to receive the notice via mail.

Good luck to all of us

That is interesting! I don't really know why would they ask that. Maybe the note is the default message for those requesting the Green Card for the first time or renewing their green cards.

Congratulations by the way!

There are alternatives to Birth Certificate. Check the Immihelp resources about this

If a complete birth certificate is not available refer to the alternatives on the (left) side bar. Here are some of those resources

I've been reading this forum for the past few months and decided to join in to give all you October filers like me some good news.

I'm a British Citizen that overstayed ESTA, Married to USC and living in Manhattan - NYC

Filed to NBC - I-485, I-130, I-131 & I-765

Below is my timeline,

10/26/18 - PD
11/05/18 - Letter with Biometrics appointment date
11/22/18 - Attended Biometrics appointment

03/06/19 - Case is ready to be scheduled for interview - I-485
03/13/19 - Card is being produced I-765

Up until last week I had no other updates on either the app or website other then the initial 'Case was received' message. I was getting worried as others had received 'Biometrics review complete' etc but nothing for me.

I hope this gives everyone a little more hope that even if you have received no updates from initially filing, a 'Card is being produced' message can still come completely out of the blue.

My immigration lawyer has advised today that the I-131 system update is sometimes a bit glitchy and to still expect a combo EAD card in the post. Fingers crossed

Hi everyone,

I got an update this morning that my wife's employment authorization card is being produced. Not as excited since our interview is next week. So I believe this card becomes invalid one the interview is approved. But for all the other october filers that have not yet have their interview scheduled, it looks like they are finally working on October Filers.

Interview scheduled

Hey all,

I've been following this thread since January and promised myself I'd post when I got some good news, at least to give someone hope. I know how it is. My application is being processed at NBC by the way. Field office is Columbus, Ohio. My previous (f2) EAD expired end January and I haven't been working since. But 2 days ago I got a text alert that my i485 case jas been updated and ready to be scheduled for and interview. I really thought that would take a while seeing that my field office shows processing 2017 applications. But I received a text an hour ago saying they have a date and will send me the notice etc. Hopefully EAD comes soon before interview so our financials will look even better. Wish you all good luck. Keep the faith!

Thats good news BritNYC. My postal date is the same and I received my "case is ready to be scheduled for interview" notice a few days ago. I'm also in the same position as yourself having overstayed and now adjusting status. Hopefully my EAD comes soon!!

Congratulations!!!!
I am also from NYC (Brooklyn) my pd is October 22, all my cases are on case received. I had only received the Courtesy letter for I-693 (white color paper) on February 28. Nothing else .
I am a mother of a US citizen I don't know if that will make a difference since I have been seen cases before mine and after mine already approved. I am so worried and frustrated, but I have not choice but wait and wait.
