What's there to lose patience for if you already have your EAD/AP?

Just received my Green Card today We didn't get called into an interview! My card is valid for 10 year though.... That has to be a mistake, right?

Woohoo! Almost 2 months after our interview, we just got a notification that my husband's card is being produced.

Thanks to my congressman's office for helping find our "lost" medical exam paperwork. Even though it took longer, I am thankful we didn't have to re-do it. Also thanks to @CatherineA for your help in contacting my congressman. :thumbs:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day.

Same day as us. They must have entered a whole bunch of approvals into the system that day. Ours went from card being produced to later that day saying case approval was certified by USCIS.

Hey everyone! We are having our interview on Tuesday and I was wondering if the list they sent me for the docs I have to take is the standard or not? They asked for things like birth certificates for both, proof of lawful entry, all documents issued from USCIS in the past, etc

The appointment is in Fairfax, Va.
