Personal decision as to whether or not postpone the interview (I personally would not).

You may also want to look into either filing back taxes (at a minimum 2008's) or (for the I-134) write a brief letter of explanation as to why you were not required to file taxes. good.gif

I concur

Hi All,
I have actually been in the site for a while; never registered. I filed in February 2009 through a "friend" ... a four month waste of time waiting to hear nothing. Filed again in July with NOA1 of 3 Aug 2009.
Reading some of the stories in here is worrisome, motivating, and reassuring all at the same time. I was getting worried that I have heard nothing from “them” at this point I understand that "No" news is good news, in that there are no problems so far.
Adjudication (NOA2) projected on timeline between 28OCT-6 NOV.
Thank you all for your posts, the information is comforting at least knowing there is someone else (many someone else’s) going through the same process (hell), as I am. Strength in numbers I guess. This is like standing in the switchback lines at Disney World waiting to get on the ride. Moving forward like cattle, with anticipation growing with each turn. We have progressed far enough now that we can see people getting on the ride (Space Mountain not Mr. Toads Wild Ride).

Anyway, thanks again for the posts and sharing your story!

Joe

Good Luck with your journey!

As far as bank statements, I received a letter from my bank stating that I had an active account for "x" number of years and had deposited "X" amount in the past year and had "x" amount as a current balance. The current balance is not as important as the amount deposited in the past year. I also took bank statements..I was paranoid that if the person on the other side of the window had a bad night the night before my interview they may ask for something "not required'.

There are many embassy specific tips on the forum. I utilized some tips to make sure my interview did not fall month later. I know we had the interview scheduled before we had everything together. Look for specific tips from recent Packet 3 individuals....I would think you could already begin collecting the Packet 3.5 items.

LOL!! Hopefully we'll be getting Nick's soon. Purely a case of not having the time to go down there and have him take the test... between working, the kids and all the places they need to go - seems we're always begging for more time!

We made an appointment and waited maybe 15 minutes. You can go online and schedule an appointment, they also ask if she was ready to take her driving test at the same time so Nick could pass the test for the learner's permit and then take the driving portion and you wouldn't need to go back.

I'm looking into grad programs in social work and counseling now. We'll see!

Good luck. I'd be tempted to look at advanced practice nursing. Social workers I know have to see some pretty brutal things; but I guess that depends on what kind you do.

I want to see the shocking things. I had a pretty tough upbringing and I think that's where I'll make the most difference. I guess I saw a lot of the effects of the nursing shortage this summer. 99% of the time the nurses were at their computers doing paperwork instead of in the room with their patients. They had time for a quick assessment and that was it and it wasn't because they're bad nurses- they just have such high patient loads and so much paperwork. I even shadowed at a few hospitals in the area to make sure I wasn't just having a bad experience with one hospital and found it to be the same. I didn't realize any of this until I started the internship since during clinicals you're always much more focused on your patient than what the nurse is doing. So glad I did the internship before graduation! I commend anyone who is going into the field, though. It's a really noble profession. It just wasn't a good fit for me.

Congrats on the EAD, Aubrey!

Good luck to you on your new path!! Social work is also a noble profession.

Well, our I-485 was transferred to CSC today. I guess that means no interview and faster processing? Nothing on our EAD and AP though. Last activity was Biometrics day for EAD and the day they put it online for AP.

For people who were transferred, how much more time did it take to finish?

Good Luck with Grad School Terri.

As cdneh said in our AOS thread there have certainly been a few who have shot holes in "faster processing" theory, but assuming all goes well and you are not transferred back out to your local office it does mean no interview good.gif

On a somewhat random note... it looks like half or more of the people here have had to re-do medicals. How crazy is that?!

It is insane. No Senator response yet. Best medical price, $120 with vaccinations extra. If we don't hear anything by Wednesday next week we'll probably go the new medical route. I am curious if the problem happens with specific POEs.
