*我开始交材料的时候华丽丽的把这个钱忽略了,于是材料都被退了回来,说是rejected(注意不是deny),后来把钱和材料又寄过去了就没问题了。一直没收到AP和EAD的combo card,所以这两项材料是否齐全不得而知(我怀疑他们就没看),130和485没有rfe。 关于照片,我总共交了八张(开始没意识到130也要两张),大家申请的时候自己算着点数量。PS:Costco照的又好看又便宜,CVS额外补的…惨不忍睹+贵…

Total Time: 138days (since 01/25/2018) * 忘交打指纹的钱了,上面说过了 ** 收到面试通知,写的是employment-based而实际是family-based,网上查了一下最近很多人有类似问题,实际面试的时候也没问题 *** 我收到面试通知发现跟学术会议有冲突,就打电话申请reschedule。事实证明,打电话reschedule基本没用,面试前五天还是几天收到信说我们收到你的请求了,网上很多例子都是这信基本没用,原来的面试你不去还是no show。所以如果你真的需要reschedule,最好冲去service center。然而我在收到这封信之前就被听说的情况吓倒了,有极端例子等了两年的,而且我的时间调开了,就去service center取消reschedule request。。。网上inforpass刷出来但是不让我约,说我有appointment coming(可能是面试时间太近了造成的?总之我就冲去了…)前台的姐姐帮我复印了我的面试通知,她说你没收到面试取消的通知也不能证明它没取消,我复印一下证明是有这个记录的,你当天准时来面试就可以了。当然,如果需要reschedule,一定要多看看网上的其他情况和步骤,多找找类似的情况,我这个其实并不算成功的reschedule,不要就按我这个来了结果出了岔子,切记切记!
Part 3:面试 没什么特别的,早上8:50的面试,我俩8:45才到  不过进去就坐了不到十分钟就开始面试了,没有分开问,总共面了半个小时。面试的是一个很漂亮的白人小姐姐。 主要问题还是你们怎么认识的,什么时候开始在一起的,什么时候领的证,家庭地址,老公名字生日,老婆名字生日,老公爸妈的名字…网上问题很多,我也没被问特别的问题,就不赘述了。 她找我们要了update的marriage evidence,我们就给了一起旅行的机票,照片(之前跟材料寄去的照片并不在档案里),车保险,今年的税表…
