mine is on 24 aug in ny

mines next week Friday waiting patiently. Northfolk VA

i was scheduled on 8/13, i was also tempted and went last 7/29. I just gave my paper, they didnt check the date, admitted me and done! other ASC.

just give it a try! go late afternoon

Thanks guys! @jd so they haven’t asked anything from you? that’s great! my office is about 45-50 min drive from where I live so I hope it will work!

otherwise did any of you come up with a good excuse to go earlier?

For ASC Phoenix they’re only opened from 7 am till 4pm.

Thanks! @ellen ellen If I show up and they notice the date and say something, what kind of excuses could work to let me in? if they have to talk to a supervisor?

@ellen ellen, sounds good! thanks for the advice

the wait over the phone is longer than just going there lol….. might as well just show up?

yeah 93 min over the phone lol. I can take the time :) and I have a Prius lol I can drive around the world with a gas tank 😂

i have prepared a good excuse, i told them that we are traveling east coast by that week, incase they will ask.

@ellen ellen thank you! will do as soon as it’s done!. @jd what do you mean by traveling each coast by….?

when I went for my bio, the security guy had a list of people that had appointment for that day and he crossed my name after he verified my identity. ASC modus operandi varies from center to center but it doesn’t hurt to try.

east coast! haha

@seyi so for you you went the right day? not earlier

yes. the right day

Biometrics done! they took me in with no issues! waited about 10-15 min and it took 5 minutes for picture/fingerprints/signature. There were just 5 people in front of me!

Yes! Thanks for the support guys. I was stressing out in the waiting line before they checked my paperwork. The employees were joking and laughing…. really good atmosphere:)

wow that’s great. you literally just saved yourself 2 weeks.

wow that’s great. you literally just saved yourself 2 weeks.

Now the question is how long does it take to get the status updated?

Yes, exactly! My visa ends end of September so time is sensitive. I can’t lose my job

@Nicolas what time did you arrive?

@Nicolas: How long before your status changed to ready to be scheduled for interview, after biometrics? Also, have you been scheduled for interview yet? I am now in the same situation and just want to get an idea of timeframes.. thanks!

@B Akin, from what I remember it was about a week later. Yes my interview is this coming Friday

Congratulations and good luck! 👍🏾

Thank you! it took about a month and a half between the biometrics and the actual interview

That’s really good to know. Phoenix ASC is doing well compared to others. Thanks for the info 🙏🏾

yes! looks like not so many want to be in the heat 🤣

you’re welcome!

@nicolas, hows your interview? before your interview did they ask for your medical?

hey mimi, the interview was really quick and formal. the officer was really nice. she said first thing when I came in, « you have the green card, you’re already approved » lol only documents she asked for me was indeed the i-693

i had a nice well organized binder but she didn’t want to hear anything about it lol

That's nice to hear, I only received I-693 request need to be submitted. hope everything is well. congratulations!

congratulations Nicholas! that’s awesome 👏🏾. did you submit a lot of evidence with your initial application??

@Nicolas: Congratulations! 🍾 I’m in Phoenix as well, stuck on the “actively being reviewed stage” (biometrics done). Please let me know if you have any tips.

Hi @Seyi! yes the initial application with pictures had about 300 pages, bank statements etc etc and I had another one since February that was big too. we have quite some assets together so that probably helped

wow 😯 😯….. that’s a lot. I see why. the IO made a smart decision not to check anything else😂😂😂. my interview is next week and I didn’t submit any evidence with my application (had no idea people could do that🤦🏾‍♀️) fingers crossed 🤞

@Seyi R: Same here, not much evidence submitted, except that we have a 4yr old together and I sent birth certificates. Good luck with your interview 👍🏾

thanks. i pray they schedule your interview asap

yes my attorney told me give whatever you have 🤣

Amen. Thanks 🙏🏾

sometimes I think we should all meet and celebrate since we’ve been on the same boat for so long and helping each other with the little we knew :)

@Nicolas: Absolutely. I’m in 😁

we’re probably from all across the country 😝 where do we go? 🤣

Hehehe good question. Don’t know about you lot but it’s been months of being at home doing nothing but check Lawfully and uscis/Reddit. Lots of road trips therefore, so one more wouldn’t hurt 😁

well I’m working from home full time so same story

yeah same here ….. can’t wait to put all these anxiety behind me😂😂

Nicholas did you submit your medicals with your initial application??

@seyi no I gave it during the interview. I got a deficiency notice at some point.
