AOS interviews

[idhungw]

Hello, I am writing to let you all know that I finally got my interview for adjustment of status through the sponsorship of my us citizen mom!! finally its been a long ride, hard work and lots of prayers...came here when i was 9 (am 28 now) under the e-2 visa. when i turned 21 in 2001 (around the same time, my mom got her greencard), I became an f-1 student throughout bachelors and masters studies (man, was tuition expensive and i am still paying for it b/c my parents took out loans from bank)....presently am on h1b visa....

my mom became a greencard holder in 2001 and sponsored my sis and I in jan 2002 (at that time, both of us were over 21 and 22 and not married). she became a us citizen in 2006. category went from 2b to 1 in family preference...my priority date became current in january 2008, i turned in the application in early february, got my fingerprinting, advanced parole and work permit within 3 months, and now got my interview date for september 2008!

i am excited, i nearly gave my mom a heart attack when i called her excited (since i got home first and got the mail). now for the interview.

i was wondering if you could give me a short synopsis of how they will conduct the interview, it'll be very well appreciated!

Thank you!

Can't give you a synopsis, but I just wanted to wish you luck!

Congrats!!!

So we're kinda in the same boat. I already had my interview last year june. It's been over a year since my interview and I'm still waiting. Anyway, when I got there, she asked my name, address, if I have ever done anything against the law. She kept flipping thru all the paperwork. She asked why I hadn't applied earlier. I told her that I didn't know that I could. I was under the impression that I was going to be notified. That's when she told me that I could have been a US citizen by now. She took a copy of my mom's green card. Then she told me that my name was still being processed by the FBI and that I needed to wait. Over a year now and I'm still waiting.

Herbit, I thought u said that your file was misplaced and the interviewer didnt tell you that your name check has cleared? When did u find out that your name check is now the problem and when exactly were your misplaced files found? Did u have to do anything in particular for the files to be found? I felt sorry hearing about your case Herbit. You were so anxious back in June to get your green card and I was as anxious for you as well. You're in my prayers. This torturous process that some people encounter is really unnecessary. Everyone should face the same time period- not a situation where some people get theirs in 3 months and others 3 years later.

I totally agree, Bird. Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like someone at INS, CIS and DOS were asleep at the switch. You just admitted that you had intending immigrant written all over you during your F-1 status. Lucky you did not get denied.

Even 80% Of Saying the Right Thing = Deserving! No One Is Perfect!!! Anything Better Than 50% Deserves Consideration! . More Than Enough Could Never Make 20%!!!!!
