We received two more letters from USCIS today. A welcome letter for the I-485 and an approval for the I-130! The I-130 is still stuck in initial review so no online updates. I'm surprised we even received a letter about the I-130 as most people don't. So now we should be done for good...for real this time!

Hey Guys & Gals,

My wife and I just completed our interview today. We did not start the interview until an hour after our appointment time but fortunately our 3 month old daughter (evidence of bona fide marraige :-) ) was cooperative and my green card was approved after a very easy 5 minute interview. All in all it was a very pleasant experience.

Thanks to all here for your help with my questions and concerns early on. I hope everyone else has it as easy as I did today.

Take care,

W.

Hello Oct filers!

I see a good news for Rebecca and ReeRee. Congratulations!

I had my interview this morning. Like everyone else, my interview didn't take longer than 20 min. The officer interviewed us was ok. He was checking basic information from my file such as address, names. SSL # etc. And other basic questions, where we met, whether we're working etcetc. We all answered as it is, and I don't think there was any tricky question whatsoever. He made copy of mutual bank account, health insurance etc. But then he didn't give us a clear approval.

He gave us a piece of paper with marked_ "Your Form I-485 is currently under further review. You will be notified by mail of the review results once it is completed" ,and said we'll get a notice within 4~6 weeks so make sure your current address is not changed. If we move to different address, we need to update the new address on USCIS immediately. He took I-94 from my passport, and gave ma a stamp on passport for the emergency trip. It says "...evidencing permanent residency for one year/EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZED" with today's date.

I expect to get approval today, and this is what happened today. Is this bad? Anyone who got a similar result after interview?

Hmm..I wonder why the further review. Were there any complications during the process such as an RFE that wasn't sent in or was the affidavit of support anywhere near the poverty limit? I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't just approve you right away. Perhaps they just have a few more things to check over before approving for sure. I really hope you hear some more news soon!! It took us a good week to hear anything from online updates/e-mails so don't panic if it takes a while!

Hi luckykaren, that seems strange. Is that an I-551 stamp in your passport? If so, that's a temporary GC. Sounds like you got approved, even though they say there will be further review. Have you checked your status online? Hopefully you'll get the card production email in a few days.
