Greetings and congratulations to everyone who completed their AOS!

I was wondering about mine... When I look at my update online (USCIS website) it says they received my I-485 on July 12. I received a letter informing their transferred it to National Benefits Center on July 22. I received my EAD/AP combo card but haven't heard anything about my case being transferred to my local USCIS office... is this normal procedure? Was your ever transferred again after NBC?

Thank you for your replies

my interview was today it last for 5 minutes

the officer asks me about date of birth, address,date of marriage the yes and no question,

ask if we have picture , i gave him 5 he doesn't even looked at them

he didn't ask my husband any question then he told me that he is going to approve me and i should recieve gc in 3 weeks

and few hours later received msg and checked online to find that the card has been ordered for production

it was very fast and simple and i was worried for nothing [ i overstayed my visa for 2 year and after my 130 was approved i didnt apply to adjust my status i waited for my husband to get his citizenship and then i applied] by the way it is for 10 years because we have been married for more than 2 years

good luck to every one

Interview went really well this morning (let's hope the result is positive also). No on the spot approval though I didn't expect it but it would have been nice. @tom_in_chi I thought I heard an australian accent from a couple right before us this morning, thinking it might have been you guys but didn't want to come up to you and sound all creepy

I've written a review before we forget the details of the interview. Click here.

Overall super relaxed environment once we were in the office. Just remember to turn off your cell phone!!

Now back to refreshing the check case status on USCIS

you would have got a quizzical look - we didn't arrive until after 9 . we're a friendly race, either way.

congratulations on a successful interview! we had a similar experience, and I'll make sure I post as detailed a review. The IO said we'll get the GC in 2-3 weeks, but there was no I-551 in the passport. No change on the USCIS status either...

:rofl: that would have been hilarious!!! A friendly race? Me and the mister will have to visit Australia to find out for ourselves by the way, glad to hear you got a yes from the IO.

Well around 5pm and after an embarrassing amount of refreshes our case was finally updated. Add one more to the July filers, approved and card ordered production!!

As always good luck to those still waiting or with an interview coming up

My wife, Ann, and stepson, Daine, had their adjustment of status (AOS) interviews on November 16th at the Washington DC Field Office in Fairfax, Virginia. Everything went very well and the adjudicating officer told us that she was recommending approval of the green cards and that we should receive them in two to four weeks. On the same day, our online status was updated by USCIS to indicate that the cards had been ordered into production. Interestingly, we also had another "update" on November 21st, but nothing appeared to have changed. Perhaps a "touch", or maybe an indication it has been mailed? We shall see ...

Take care and have a very happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Same here Joe and Ann. Basing it off the EAD this is how it happened. The day it was approved, a Tuesday, I got an update "Card Ordered Production' on Friday another 'Card ordered production' (that same date was on the letter that came with the EAD). Next business day - Monday- got a message 'Document mailed' (that was the date in the postmark on the envelope). So my theory is: 1st message means the case was approved and document ordered. 2nd message the card is made, attached to letter, addressed and probably put in an outgoing pile but they probably only send mail out once a day in the morning so 3rd message is when it's handed off to USPS on the next business day.

Of course with Thanksgiving I'm thinking maybe we'll get the GC on Friday or Saturday but could be Monday. Congrats on the approval!

Just want to say I had almost the same case too.I received an email saying that card is in production on Nov 16 and then the same email on Nov 22. Finally, I received the green card on Nov 26th.

Thank you Lord and visa journey community!

Update: As estimated my GC arrived Friday 11/25. Thanks everyone for posting your cases and offering advice and support, you're what makes visajourney such a great space and priceless resource
