[准备材料]
下面是我律师要我们面试准备的材料,我觉得非常有用,给大家参考。
*·Your original appointment letter (candidate and spouse)
*·Driver's License (candidate and spouse)
·EAD / AP combo card (candidate and spouse)
·Including any expired EAD Cards (e.g. F1 OPT)
·Social Security Card (candidate and spouse)
*·Your most recent I-94 record (candidate and spouse)
·Your Federal tax returns for the past 2 years
(only one copy needed if filed jointly)
*·Form W-2s
*·Updated letter from your employer confirming your employment and salary
*·3-4 Recent Paystubs/Pay statements
·I-797 I-140 Approval Notice (soft copy is fine)
*·Valid Passport (candidate and spouse)
·Expired passports that you have used to travel into the U.S.
(candidate and spouse)
*·Original Birth Certificate, with English translation (if applicable)
(candidate and spouse)
*·Original marriage certificate with translation (if applicable)
*·Evidence to show that your marriage is bona fide (if married):
- joint bank or credit card statements,
- lease or evidence of joint property ownership,
- insurance beneficiary information, photos.
·Most recent I-20
·If you can bring all prior I-20s that will be the best practice
[注1] 後面有括弧写candidate and spouse的就是两人都要带,
没有特别写的,就是主申请人带就可以。
[注2] 前面我有打星号(*)的,就是我实际面试当天有被要求要看的。
==========================================================================
[面试]
从收到面试通知到实际面试大约是一个月,面试当天会安检,
流程大概跟机场安检差不多。
我面试那天人很多,安检整个大排长龙,排到楼外去了,请大家留点时间给安检,
不要不小心迟到就不好了。
我很幸运,被问的都是非常基本的题目:
1. 名字
2. 出生年月日
3. 你爸妈叫什麽名字
4. 你之前是什麽身份(什麽VISA)
5. 你最後一次入境是什麽时候 用什麽身份入境
6. I485 yes/no 所有问题
面试完给了我们一张单子,说2到4周会有面试结果,
但是我们离开半小时就收到Status Update成New Card Is Being Produced,
一周後就收到绿卡了,算是效率蛮高的XD
==========================================================================
[EAD 加急]
当初我老婆的combo card比我这个主申请人还早下来,明明就是一起送出申请,
我却迟迟没被approve。
因为当时OPT快要过期了,很着急地想尽办法想让他快点下来,
於是就联系了我辖区内的congresswoman还有加州的两个senator。
很多人问说要怎麽找,这边提供一点心得。
Congressman/Congresswoman 基本上你要上网用你的zipcode去查,
看管你辖区的是谁。
Senator就比较简单,直接Google你的州名和Senator就可以,
一个州只会有两个Senator。
找到後就去他们的官网上找他们的联络方式,基本上都会有个移民专区,
告诉你怎麽联系他们。
我遇到的都是线上填个问券,然後留你的email,他们过几天会回覆你。
几本上议员本人不会自己回覆你,都是底下的工作人员跟你联系。
他们会寄给你一张表,你填完要签名再传回去给他们。
然後他们就会帮你打电话给移民局帮你「关切」一下。
除了联络议员,你也可以打给USCIS自己加急,但是电话要等很久,
我打了几次都等了40几分钟才接通。
自己加急的话要跟接线员说明加急的理由,理由不能自己乱掰,
USCIS官网上有列出4种他们接受的理由:
1. Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for
urgent action is not the result of the petitioner's or applicant's failure
to:
- File the benefit request or the expedite request in a reasonable time
frame, or
- Respond to any requests for additional evidence in a reasonably timely
manner;
2. Urgent humanitarian reasons;
3. Compelling U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for the
Department of Defense or DHS, or other public safety or national security
interests); or
4. Clear USCIS error.
大家打电话前先看清楚是否自己的情况符合上面任何一条,不然可能会被接线员打枪,
这样就浪费很多时间了。
==========================================================================
[後记]
最後,我想感谢移民板的资讯还有热心回答问题的板主,
祝大家一切顺利 :)
