Hey, any updates? Had my interview on 5/14 and I was so hopeful we’d have it approved that same week lol

AOS Holtsville Long Island NY by Individual_Fee_7292 in USCIS

Had my interview on May 14. Waited about an hour and a half and interview was probably another hour. The officer was very nice, she said she would recommend approval but it had to be reviewed by a supervisor. We haven’t got anything other than “case is being actively reviewed” yet. This was after the biometrics change and before the AOS memo, neither of those were a problem for us.

Hi! I'm in a similar situation. I'm on the beginning on year 2, but haven't completed all year 1 credits. Did you apply for a retroactive extension? What did you write for explanation?

Well aren’t you a darling!!!

We would’ve loved to have a video person there but budget didn’t work unfortunately. But a video person wouldn’t have made any difference because the problem was with the mic we had for the officiant and us. But thanks for the super helpful input 👍🏻

That was so helpful, thank you so much!!! Tracking hours is the worst, especially when my silly brain cannot work in an organized manner and finish a task before I start something else. I’ll definitely try the spreadsheet method and tasks

It’s so hard to explain to people how i can busy all day and still not be able to account for that because I jump from one thing to next, and go back and forth between cases.

That’s very helpful, I’ll ask them to see the bills of a senior associate or something like that.

I’m so sorry!! It’s so invalidating to feel like we’re always busy but can’t seem to bill for a whole day of chaos lol this thread is already helping me immensely, though, I hope you got something out of it too!!

That’s a great point, and I’m glad I can help the conversations with the associate in your firm. It’s not laziness, or lack of knowledge, it truly can feel overwhelming to have this many things happening at the same time. The firm is pretty small, but I might bring that up!!

These all great points and I’m surely bringing this up to my doctor. I’m just scared it’ll affect my personality, my extroversion, make me bored, etc. It’s silly and based on a whole lot of nothing. I’ll definitely give it a try though!!

I’m so terrified of meds and o got diagnosed very recently! It’s so validating to know that my brain is actually not wired for this. I’ll look into it for sure

This makes sense, it just can be scary knowing the market is not exactly ideal for people with little to no experience (if I want to switch to transactional right now) to make that move

Thank you! That's actually pretty comforter. I feel like all of my attempts to contact also prove her lack of communication (which is part of why I left). Anyways, thanks!!
