Did you receive an e-mail/Text message? Or did it only change online?

During 5 minutes I received the email, the txt and also pop up the alarm in the app I downloaded for my mobile :)

My experience was not that good.

She asked about everything she could ask. Checked the bank statements, rent lease, photos, pay stubs, phone bills, everything!! Every time she ask something and we answer she reacted like we were lying. In the end said the our case needed a further review and we should wait 120 days to receive an answer. But when we were leaving the office she said Take easy!

After 2 hours dying in tears, I received a msg telling that my case was update. We checked the status and was card on production.

thank you so much! and congratulations!!!

I posted it earlier.

Our IO was a very friendly lady and she barely asked us any questions. Only how we met, our address and phone number. It was about 30-40 mins and we were just casually talking. She told me in the beginning of the interview that she can't approve me today, because they messed up with my visas (I had K-1 to my husband before, but I came back home and got F-1).

She explained me how to get a new GC in 2 years and said that we will be approved within 30 days.

Did you get any idea of what the IO's problem was? Maybe she was prejudiced in some way because of nationality, age difference, etc. I still remember one person on this website that wrote that his fiance's visa was denied because the Embassy consular said he was too ugly to be with such a bautiful woman. We had an issue with the manager at at the service center in West Sacramento because my husband changed his name to my last name when we got married and she questioned that our marriage was legal and gave us a disapproving look when she realized he was married to a man. That's one of the reasons we are going to the interview with a lawyer.

Got the EAD card today. Funny. It was sent to our home address, not our mailing address. Every other item has been sent to our mailing address.....

and then they didn't even get our home address correct. Thankfully we don't have an idiot postman.
