In some cases, some people's file is returned to the local office and then they're either approved without interview or with an interview, but I think you're good to go! Congrats again! That was quick! Oh! Forgot! Good luck with your upcoming interview Ken and Kate! It's already time! March went by SO QUICK!!! Edited by Vero and Chris, 24 March 2011 - 01:41 PM.

Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Mumm... I don't know about the file date... Did you go to H&R Block or something? What about a different office? Or company? We were a mess too when it was time to file the taxes... Maybe ask before you make an appointment to have someone that deals and knows about nonresident alien tax stuff... Or you could try to do it on your own, but be prepared for quite the hassle Do you have to do an itemized return? Good luck!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-23 15:26:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Nope nothing yet. I didnt know how to get it to email us. So we have to wait for the mail Ah, ok. You'll get them soon enough!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-23 06:19:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	mandaNchris, Did you receive your NOA1s yet? Do you guys realize how quickly we were all processed? Like J&J said, I'll miss everyone and I don't know what I'll do with my time when this is over! I have to find a job quick!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-22 14:28:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Looks like almost everyone has their GC now! Should we revive this thread when we start to file ROC? I'd like to see how the "August crew" makes out with that. Hahaha! Not a bad idea at all! We'll have to do that!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-19 10:30:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Two good news! 'Lil Chicken is alive and well! He showed up Wednesday night! And second, I received my green card today! Wow, it's so fancy!!!

Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	It was actually Chris' idea... He's got this weird thing about naming cats after food... The one we have here, his name is Waffles!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-16 17:34:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Thanks guys, I was so devastated when she told me, maybe I'm more attached than usual because we rescued him, hopefully he'll show up this week, poor 'Lil Chicken (that's his name!)	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-16 14:58:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Yeah, she is, but since it's cold, she takes it inside during the day... Usually she just goes out on the porch, calls his name and he runs because he knows she has food... I just hope he's not hurt or anything...	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-16 13:22:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	So when I was up in Canada last year waiting on the K-1 visa, I rescued a cat and kept it at my parents house. He's an outside cat, but he love it. Always chasing mice and what not. My mom has kept him since I left, kept feeding him and what not, but yesterday she said he had a fight with another cat in the night of Sunday, and hasn't showed up since to eat. I'm SO SAD! This cat was like this thing my mom could take care of and it would remind her of me, you know? Man, I'm so sad! Maybe he'll show up this week?	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-16 06:43:00

Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Hahaha, Tater&#######, now I know EXACTLY how you felt!!! I was sooo mad at her, but it didn't last long! What a cute little puppy!!! She's adorable!!! And no, like you said, doesn't look like a terrier at all! Hope you guys find a good family for her! Why not keep her?	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-11 10:40:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	You know, I was under the impression that you don't absolutely need to put in your SSN when you file your AOS... Ask a question in the Canada forum, I'm sure someone somewhere has filed without their SSN... This way you don't have to wait until that problem gets taken care of before you send your package... And thanks everyone for the cheers, I feel GREAT! But the stress of this week gave me a cold... Here I was thinking that I wouldn't get one this year because I wasn't in Canada...	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-11 06:58:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Hi everyone!!! Good news! Card Production Ordered! BUT, it was not stress-free believe me! Here's what happened: So we got to the place a good hour before 9am. The place was actually pretty busy. We went in for our interivew at around 9:10am. I was a nervous mess because the people right in front of us had been seperated, and I thought, great... But we were interviewed by a really nice woman, not overly friendly, but nice. She started by asking for our IDs. I then had to show her the interview letter because for some reason it had the wrong city on it, but it got to me fine... It's like they wrote down the voting district instead of the city. But my EAD and AP had the right one... So anyways, she went through the list, asking me if I was a prostitute, a terrorist, etc, etc. Then she asked us to show her what we had brought as evidence. I showed her out tax transcript for 2010, a letter from Chris' 401K stating I am the main beneficiary, all our statements from our joint account, the letter from the vet, and our pictures. She looked through the pictures very quickly, and then asked us how we met. We talked for a little bit, and she was laughing with us and smiling. So I thought, yeah! this is going great! She also explained the procedure to remove the conditions. Then, she says "I have seen everything I need, I will let you know if I need further information in the next few weeks". I was like WHAT??????? Aren't you going to say approved or something? She took my I-94 but not my EAD and AP. When I was reading reviews for the office in Norfolk, several people were saying they were not approved on the spot, but by the time they got home, they had receive an e-mail for card production... So I was OK I guess, but you can imagine that I really was a nervous mess! So we get home, and I'm checking the e-mails every 5 minutes while Christopher sings his own version of a Rolling Stones song, quote "Help me out, my butt cheeks are burning". This is what happens when you operate on 5 hours of sleep! I could have hit him! But then I checked them again (the e-mails) and I got the a message saying that on March 10th the card production was ordered! User .......... AOS sent .... NOAs ...... Bio. App ... AP Result .....

And she said that USCIS is independently funded so if it does come to that, they are still going to be working. For those of you who were wondering. VERY relieved!

Then you'll get some news on your AP and EAD (you need your bio appointment to get your EAD), and then your case will either get transfered to California, or you'll get an interview date... I don't think there's any rime or reason as to who gets an interview and who doesn't... Out of the 8 of us who have already filed, 6 got an interview date... Edited by Vero and Chris, 07 March 2011 - 08:00 PM.	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-07 20:00:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Nah... I don't think it matters... As long as you file in time, I don't think they will look at the exact date and make a big deal out of it... That's just my opinion though, you guys should do what you feel is right, trust your gut feeling!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-07 16:21:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Aw Vero don't worry! We're all going to laugh at you so much (in a nice way) when you get back and tell us how much you were over worried! Manda and Chris; just send the thing! HAHAHA. It's way easier than the K1, and you have all the forms already. I would apply for AP anyways, I got mine almost 2 months before and it was nice to have. In case there is an emergency or something. Yeah I agree with you... You never know if someone is going to get sick or something... And, it's not that much more paperwork to do. If you have time, maybe reconsider... Is it that much more money wise though? I didn't think of that part... Gosh, Tater I hope I am wrong and I will gladly laugh at this whole thing too! I just want it to be done!!!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-07 13:40:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Tater&#######, Thanks for the info about frito feet! mandaNchris, If you send it through UPS or FedEx, you'll be ok. Chris had his passport sent to him when he was first in Quebec and hadn't met him yet. He got it fine. You probably want a service that you can track, definitely... And USPS tracking system is the worst! It never gets updated! Maybe pay the extra and go with UPS... And let us know when you mail your AOS in, and take your time to do so, you don't want to forget anything! Alright, well I'm in full-blown stress mode, with 3 days to go until my interview. Woke up at 4 and couldn't fall back to sleep... It's gonna be a loooooong 3 days I can tell you that! Chris is already exasperated!	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-07 07:08:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	I feed my dog Apple Cider Vinegar and clean his paws with it to stop the smell. Not only does it help the PH balance digestively to eat it, but stops the urine from killing your grass and stops his paws from having "frito feet". Since he matured he has smelly feet. It's like their version of sweat, marks territory and ####### like that. All I know is it stinks so we feed him ACV and clean his paws with it, makes a huge difference. Oh wow, never thought of that!!! Do you dilute it in water before you give it to him? And what do you mean by frito feet? Like cracked?	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2011-03-05 12:09:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Brenda2010, that's exactly what I've been doing too! Maybe we could start a blog and take over Martha Stewart! I do have a lot of tips on how to dissolve stain just with vinegar!!! Maybe we could have a show on the OWN network, haha! Thanks Tater&####### for the reassurance, I do over-analyse everything, I can't help it, it's an OCD thing... Chris has to count everything he does, so I guess we fit well together! About the health thing, Rose416 said that it was brought up at her interview, and she explained why she has no coverage right now, and if I remember, her interview guy said that they understand that you can't get everything in a span of 5 months... I'm in the same situation, if Chris were to put me on his insurance, it would be 400$ a month because I'm unemployed. So if this comes up at our interview, I'll explain that I'm waiting to find work so I can either be put on his insurance or get my own through work.. Makes sense, no?

Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Usually takes a week or two, but for some people it's taking a little longer depending where there service area will be for biometrics. Some of the service centers are overly booked so they might just be waiting to book more appointments. I noticed that the Philadelphia area is taking longer then most. If it doesn't arrive within 2-3 weeks I would call USCIS and ask why you haven't gotten a appointment date yet, they will probably put in a service request for you to get a appointment date. Very wise	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2013-04-10 18:30:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	Oh good, today would be a week after so we'll see - why o why am I so impatient? Lord! Going through Vermont. Have a good weekend! Any news?	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2013-04-09 08:35:00
Canada	August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey	My biometrics appointment letter is dated 01-14-2013, about a week after I received my I-797. Maybe give it another week? What service center are you going through again?	Vero and Chris	Female	Canada	2013-04-04 18:29:00
