Поздравляю!! :)
Hi, Kseniya!
I’m confused, I just want to know what happens after you receive the letter that your case was approved. I looked for the information but I’m still confused, I only found what you have to do in a consular process 😐help! please. Thanks 😊
You guys are awesome. I got approved today in interview today. Marriage case.
May 10- file received by USCIS
June 20- work permit approved
Nov 14- interview scheduled.
Dec 13- appeared for interview and officer asked 2 or 3 basic questions and approved.
Once again, thanks a lot. We prepared our case on our own with your help and some other UA-camrs as well.
Omg! I am so happy for you. I especially liked that he acknowledged your cover letter and how organized your file was.
Congratulations maam.👏👏.I always follow everytime you have a new videos uploaded..
What a great video and tips !!! Thank you!
You are the best !!!!
Congrats!!
For the photo album you carried with you to the interview, did you add little notes of what was happening in the photos??
We just came back from my interview today in Chicago and we followed all the recommendations here. I got approved right there! In our case the officer just went ahead with the questionaire and we updated some info like address, added newer tax returns and so. After that he said all looks good and that I'm approved. Thank you so much Kseniya for all the help throughout the process. It was incredibly helpful and valuable. We are super grateful.
Congratulations!
Thanks to your super informative channel I did everything correctly and got waived from interview and have gotten my ssn and green card in the mail ❤🥰🫂.. you've been such a great help to me and others here that's still going through the process. Again thank you so much and stay bless 😇🙏🏼
Thank you so much for all the helpful info! Did you have to bring the passport to the interview? I ask because mine expires in July and I don’t know whether I should apply for one now while I’m waiting or wait till I hear about the interview date.
Thank you so much you have guide us in every step!!!!!
Congrats!! Happy for you. Your videos were very helpful, I did applied using them, Application got accepted 3 weeks ago. BTW how long did it take to get EAD?
My EAD took forever! Almost 9 months. But now that things are a little bit better, it’s probably going to be sooner for you.
Congratulations !!!!
Congratulations 🥳🙏🏾
Congrats!!! I did use your cover letter as an example of mine! I just sent my paperwork about a week ago so lets see how it goes!
Yay!! Good luck 😊😊😊
how did it go
Hi Kseniya! I was wondering where did you print your photos for your photo album? CVS? Thank you!
You are amazing!
Congrats! Thank you for all your videos! I have a question about the documents you brought. Did you bring copies of the forms you submitted? Thanks again.
Hello, I brought the originals with me and also made an additional copy in case they wanted it for the file. However, they did not want any copies of original documents. They did take additional copies of additional financial and bonafide evidence that accumulated between we submitted the file and the green card interview.
Hi Kseniya! First off thank you so much for all of your videos they are truly a lifesaver. I have such a different situation that I am wondering about with my husband and I and I keep seeing conflicting information. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Vietnam and had to return to the US to seek treatment. My husband then followed me here but only on a B2 visa, because that was the fastest way we could get him here. I've heard conflicting information about this, as I've heard it's really hard to get this type of visa approved for Adjustment of Status. Knowing full well our circumstances, the uscis did approve him coming here but I'm wondering if you might know of anything about this particular circumstance. Cheers and thank you!
Hello, firstly sorry about your situation I hope you’re recovering well. Secondly, I’m not sure I understand your question. So was your husband approved for a green card or no?
Congrats and thanks for sharing
Am in Massachusetts, and I when to my interview yesterday the 12th of may 2022, my husband goes in first, then he called me in after and asked me the same question he asked my husband.,my children names, there date of birth, my name, address, phone numbers what kind of washing machine and dryer if they're joined, who does the cooking, what we eat last night, what kind of car my husband have and how many cars, how many rooms and bathroom, who does the cooking, what kind of movie's we watched together, what we does for the holidays, if we have anything joined together, and he asked for pictures so we show them what we bring and some off the phone. He said we receive a online email and letter so am still waiting.
Hi Kseniya! I have a question about submitting bank statements and bill statements. Do we have to submit statements from when we got married or just 2-3 month statements?
Congrats Kseniya. What happens if one doesn't have the original birth certificate?
Hi dear-congrats,my son applied for my greencard,I done with biometrics on 20 july 2021- How should I prepare for inter view? Plz do let me know
Thanks for sharing. Is it okay to print out photos as a pdf instead of a photo album? Thank you
Hey there! Your videos have helped my wife and I through the whoke process so I thank you! Just one question some website say you need a copy of your whole green card application packet and some don't. Do you need it? And if so, how do I get a copy of all my packet documents if it is sent to uscis? I already recieved the update that they have scheduled my interview already what do I do?
I don’t recall it being written in the interview notice. But also it’s a good idea to keep a copy of all your applications in general.
I’m glad you asked, I heard the same thing from some and some say no. But, she’s right, always have a copy for yourself.
Congrats
Hi Miss, Do you have a lawyer helping with the documents?
Hi Ksenia first off all congrats, why did you bring the album....do we have to bring it if we have 3 children? Thanks so much
There’s no specific list of bonafide marriage evidence, it is what you feel like will help your case.
Thank you for this video. Highly appreciated. However, you didn't tell us what your answer was when the officer asked "if you knew what the next step."
good night do you still remember the questions that were asked?
What about the original tax documents is not with the sponsor since I am the petitioner and and my tax documents is with me and she can’t get the originals?
Still have not heard anything after our interview. It has been 95 days and nothing is happening ://
Hi Kseniya,
I couldn't see your video for the cover letter example. Can you please share the link? Thank you.
ua-cam.com/video/6ER8QZVFXs0/v-deo.html
I applied in February 2021 concurrently for adjustment of status and I received notice that they took the fees .
Waiting for biometric appointment .
I was wondering estimate time to get 10 year green card I live in Madison Wisconsin.
hey, did you have any update?
Dear Kseniya, thank you so much for your videos, very helpful! I have a question regarding an interview: should I ask my parents to send me the original birth certificate from the country of my citizenship or it's not nessesary? Do you have any advise or it's better to ask the lawyer?
You do have to bring original documents with you, so yes.
Even though our guy didn’t even bother looking, but still a good idea
@@KseniyaInternational спасибо большое / thank you so much!
Congratulations!
are we required to be vaccinated before interview?
@@Eghylin no
Did you bring a copy of the forms as well? Or just extra documentation? TIA
They’ll tell you on the I797 invitation to the interview what to bring,
I brought originals and copies as well. So basically two of everything
Congrats so happy for you I had mine on Thursday don’t know my results yet but I’m so optimistic about it can’t wait to get it fast !! Question how long you wait till you got the approval??
Oh just saw day after wow that was fast congrats again
@@msyusuf9841 so happy for you! Yes I kept checking my case status on uscis. Not sure how soon I’ll get the actual card
That’s good news yeah I’m checking mine too but one thing I know for sure the officer was so nice and the interview was really really easy I’ll say it took about 20 minutes.. thanks for your response and I’ll let you know about my results ❤️❤️
@@msyusuf9841 wow that’s amazing! Where was your interview? What state/city?
Seattle , WA on Thursday the 27th
All the tax information is online as pdf files do I just print them?
Hi Kseniya my interview is in a few weeks, I was wandering since I already sent the form I-864 affidavit of support, do I have to fill it out again with the new taxes of this year, pay stubs, W-2's?
hii i am about to do the interview with my wife in a few months do you have a answer to your own question because i am wondering the same thing?
Congratulations 👏,
Can you put examples for your cover letter, cuz I'm in that stage of my file, that's will be helpful, thank you seniya
I have the cover letter video explaining everything in detail
@@KseniyaInternational do I need to do, a cover letter for each form, or just one for the whole file
@@benyamin6085 one for the whole file is sufficient. Again, everything is explained in my cover letter video
Congrats Kseniya! So you never got EAD card? You got interview right away?
I got my EAD probably less than a month before my green card interview, so I never actually got to use it.
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you!
I sent the paperwork I did handwritten, I didn’t save a copy😭 would I be in trouble?
Hey, I did not include my form I-693 ( Medical Examination ) together with my 1-485, so do I just wait until I get my letter for my interview in order to have the exam done? Did your interview notice ask for your medical exam? When will u be doing the video on the medical exam portion. Thanks for your help.
Hi yes you will bring your medical to the interview. I already did a video on that go check it out
Hi Kseniya, I’m scheduled for my interview next month… my US Citizen daughter is my petitioner is she supposed to accompany me to my interview? I’m here in the US.
Your daughter doesn’t have to attend the interview with you. But she can if she wants to.
Congrats! May I ask which city was your interview?
Johnston, Rhode Island
Hi Kseniya! I'd like to know if you got your green card with your single name? or with your married name? Because I got mine with my single name although they had my marriage certificate. Do you know if I missed something?
I did not change my name, so I’m not sure about that. Maybe somebody else can respond with their experience
Hello
I won the green card lottery and wanted to ask if i may have an interpreter for my interview bcs my English isn't fluent
Hi Kseniya, are you Canadian?
For the W-2 can they be copies or does it have to be the original? I submitted irs tax return from my sponsor
Copies
Please advise the foto size . Length and width. It is colorful with white background. Or. Is it same passport size.
Great video Ksenia, thank you. I have a question. Did you bring with you police report that you don't have any police history while in US?
Did the person interviewing you take your picture & fingerprints?
I believe just the picture
AOS, F1 visa. I’m the beneficiary and my husband who is an American citizen sponsors me. Do you know if I need to bring my original birth certificate? I’m asking because my original birth certificate is currently in my home country. I only have the copy translated birth certificate that I submitted when I filed the application.
I guess they need to see your original copy.
What happened, did they ask for your original birth certificate?
My interview is a month away :) Hopefully all goes well
Me too
@@sariyahklove4386 what state?
@@TallySupreme Connecticut
You said that he requested you to leave the room to question your husband. Did he also request your husband to leave the room before questioning you?
Nope. He also questioned him for all of 3 minutes: he asked him by date of birth and my hometown
@@KseniyaInternational Did they ask you most of those long list of Yes/No questions in Part 8? If not, which ones did they ask and which ones are the most important ones in your opinion?
@@aheat3036 they ask every single one
Congratulations. Please how many photos in total did you give to USCIS?
about 10, 2 per page
and then i brought a small photo album to my interview with maybe 20 new photos?
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you. Your videos have been sooo helpful.
did you apply for I 765 when did you get the approval?
My EAD was approved 9 months after I applied, 1 month before my green card interview
@@KseniyaInternational thank you for the info...by the way your videos helps me a lot.. specially in writing the cover letter and organizing the file.... spasiva..
@@lailanibautista7150 Aw you’re so welcome. Good luck! 🤗
When you say that you received your notice of action do you mean the notice which they send for each form they have received and that they have started processing it? And then you add the receipt numbers from these notices to your online account? Im just trying to get an idea of a timeline for myself
Hi, yes notice of action is form I797 that they send in the mail to communicate with you. And yes I used those receipt numbers to add them to myUSCIS account to track
@@KseniyaInternational okay thank you for all these videos. I also wanted to know if after you added them was the online account updated prior to you receiving anything in the mail, like with notifying you about your biometric appointment,interview,etc? or was that all via mail? Again thank you so much!!
@@natashashetty9946 they did update information online for every step, there is also a "timeline" tab as well next to the case. But i also received stuff by mail
@@KseniyaInternational thank you :)
@@KseniyaInternational Also congratulations !!!!
What about the medical report?
you must bring it if you have not yet submitted it
Hi
Can i ask where did you filed your i-485? Did you received an approval of your i-765? Thank you
Mine were processed at the national benefits center MSC
