Passport and ead card. Make an appointment if you can!!

Yeah, we took advantage of me having to go and also got the girls their SSN.

Interview is Dec 3rd, 9 AM

I did that too. We were there for 1 hour

Ok, today I'm going to get my SSN

What should I bring with me?? EAD and Passport?

I am! I wasn't in a hurry tho...I had my work permit and I was happy with this...Wondering if USCIS got my Change of address (stupid apt building changed the names on the streets here...)

Is going to be a little over 3 months from the day I sent the package to interview date

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On November 2, 2012, we mailed you an appointment notice for an interview for December 3, 2012, at NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER. Please follow the instructions on the notice. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

My interview was yesterday (Thursday, November 1) at 2:15pm in Atlanta. We arrived at 1:30pm went through security in a matter of minutes and then had to wait on the first floor until it was 1:45pm (30 minutes before our appt) to check-in. After checking in, we went upstairs to wait for our number to be called. At 2:20pm a young lady called us and we went to her office to be sworn in and interviewed. She was very serious but professional. She asked for both of our passports, GA licenses, IDs, birth certificates, my I-94 and old EAD. She made a copy of our GA licenses. She then asked my husband his name, DOB, address, place of birth and parents names. She then asked the same questions to me along with my last visa and last entry date into the USA. She then asked my husband how and where we met and asked me the yes/no questions that the I-485 application asked. She asked for bonafide marriage evidence and looked through both our photos from the last 4 years and our wedding album. After this, she said we were done and she would review our file to make sure she had all the information. If she needed more information, she would send a RFE to us. If she had everything, she would approve us and explained the conditional GC. We were out of the office by 2:45pm. The interview was straight forward but I really wanted to know if we were approved on the spot. Luckily, at 5:30pm I got a text notice that I was being registered as a permeant resident APPROVED!

The main lessons were do not be stressed. Take all the documentation you can and remember you are in a real relationship so you have nothing to worry about. The interviewers are serious but they are just doing their jobs!

Congratulations!!!

Got there at 8:20a, office opened at 8:30a, and out by 8:40a. Glad that's out of the way now

Yay!! I'm going on Monday

We went to our interview appointment yesterday, drove down to Casper in the midnight for almost 7 hours for 9:15am appointment. we got the hard copy of the appointment from our congressman. So we arrived early and just waited until the time came. the officer show up on time and tell us he can't do the interview yesterday because my other file still in Denver while other one with him. He waited my file came from Denver until yesterday but nothing show up. He said it was pointless if we do the interview when the files not complete. I was so mad when he told us about that, he canceled my interview and said will rescheduled again between this month or next month( can you imagine that). The officer also told us that I have two separated files where most people only have one file.He don't even know what file was that. So does anyone ever have same issues like me, have 2 separated files on your cases ??

OMG, are you serious?? I'd be beyond pissed!!I'd start calling USCIS and bother them about the second file

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

My apt complex just sent us a note saying that they were approved for an official change of address...GREAT

It is a weird card, specially the B/W photo!

Let me know! So I can go check mine, hahaha

Same here...tomorrow or Friday so I can go to get my ssn

So, I have a question...

I just checked the processing times for my office, Chicago (IL) and this is what the website says

I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status May 28, 2012

However, if that office is taking longer than our processing goal to handle the form type in question, you will see the filing date (e.g., "April 10, 2003") of the last case we processed on the date the website chart was last updated. The charts are updated on or about the 15th day of each month.

They way I understand this is that they take way longer than 5 months to process and the last case was MAY 28.

If this is correct, I am happy I got my EAD/AP combo. It may take many many months for my office to process the case

USPS reported they picked up my EAD

Hope so!! I'm still in time frame (4.4 months for Chicago...so I'm not holding my breath)

We will

So glad you guys are ok!!!

Maybe you boss will offer Gesi a job!!!

Hope everyone is doing well today? Kim & Gesi, as well as anyone else being strong through Sandy - stay strong and hope all is well?

I got my third EAD text this evening so I assume it's going out tonight and I should have it in the next couple of days?

I got my text too, apparently our case is getting update at the same time.

On October 30, 2012, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file. You should receive your new card within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283

We should have it on monday at the latest

I got my EAD notice but no signs of an interview. My office is Chicago and their processing time is 4.4 months...my EAD/AP combo was approved 2 months after the day I sent my paperwork

And checked my phone and got a text saying my case was updated

Dunno, just checked my status on my EAD and the date was changed to today. Now it says "on October 29 we ordered production" instead of October 24...

You can always get a State ID and use that instead of the GC (or drivers license)
