Hey guys, I had my green card interview yesterday and everything went great! We were APPROVED on the spot ! I could not be happier! If anyone wants to hear more details, I'll be glad to share.

ugh.. praying and hoping I will get a NOA or checks cashed this week! my package was supposedly delivered on April 4th according to USPS.. this is so nerve wrecking!

This is my final post and update, I received my CR6 (Conditional Resident) green card in the mail today; Friday 4/12/2014. The interview was on Monday, 4/17/2014. 5 Days only and finally, this is all over with. On December of 2016 I will apply for removal of condition, meanwhile; it is finally over and my wallet has one more additional card in it; perhaps the most important one I've ever had.
Being my final post, again I would like to thank everyone for their advice and this forum for the vast amount of knowledge I've obtained reading and studying the process. This is a great place. I would also like to wish best of luck to everyone, anyone who had ever been in my shoes and those of you still in the fight to obtain the basic right of living worry free in this great country.
From New York,
Thank you, good luck and good bye!

Finally home!
So here is how it went, last night after Game of Thrones (love that show) my wife and I started gathering all the required documents in the checklist. We went document crazy, packing a suitcase loaded with pictures, cards, e-mail print outs, bills, agreements, leases, contracts, pictures of our home, photo albums, scrap books and everything we could possibly get our hands on that shows a track of our relationship from the day which we met, until today.
This morning, schlepping this heavy suitcase we took the subway to the USCIS building; 1 hour early. After a security check, we enter the building and head to the check-in booth with my appointment letter. We were asked if we need a translator or if an attorney was coming, both to which we said no to.
Sitting in the upper floor, we got our waiting ticket; perhaps 40 other people in the room and we're eagerly waiting to start and end this process. We saw the immigration officers call up random couples, some officers seemed nicer than others; some seemed a bit less, nicer.
Finally our man came and called out our number, we entered a small room (almost like a cubicle) where we were asked to raise our right hand and swear to tell the truth. We sat down and the IO asked for our ID's, we provided our ID's to him, a very nice man and he gave them right back to us. After giving us our ID's in return, he asked whether my wife ever had a different name (which she answered no to), he quickly browsed through the packet which we had originally sent the office when we applied for the AOS. We tried to show him our entire suitcase of documents, but he did not want to see any of our supporting evidence, I asked if he would like to go through some of our photo albums, he did not seem interested in going through our entire photo book and just asked us for two photos. He also took a copy of our lease agreement for our apartment, after he glanced at out tax return for a moment and that was pretty much it.
He did not ask us anything about each other, he did not even question us about our marriage or anything of the sort. We showed him our marriage certificate, we had originals of all the documents which we originally sent in but he didn't really look through them like we thought he would.
As a matter of fact, this was more like an orientation than an interview, to look at the original documents from the AOS but to my surprise he asked us absolutely nothing about each other, our marriage, relationship or anything. We engaged in small talk afterwards for about 10 minutes, about his job and about USCIS. I asked him, what's the next step now? and he replied "Well the interview was over 15 minutes ago, the next step is you'll be getting your green card in the mail. Just don't forget to apply to remove the conditions on it 3 months before it expires.".
I was relived to hear that we passed and I am now officially a green card holder.
I am just shocked that from everything I have read, and I mean everything, we had a completely different and opposite experience where almost no questions were even asked. Our marriage wasn't questioned, put to the test or anything of that nature. I can't help but to think was it our insanely over packed suitcase of evidence, or my wife's pregnant belly that made this whole process such a breeze.
I can hope it is a breeze for others as well, thank you for the great support I have received reading on forums such as this.
My wife just said; basically, people with legitimate marriages should have nothing to worry about; maybe it was just all too obvious the way my wife and I talk to each other, or look at each other; I'm unsure but she claims she was absolutely not worried at all. I on the other hand, totally different; always worried.
All I have to say is thank God.

Just left the USCIS building, I was approved! I promised to post an update, longer version will follow shortly as I'm posting on my iPhone. I feel GREAT!!

Hi Avocado
Yes I believe the I-94 must have your name spelt correctly. Luckily, there is a process in place to deal with this exact scenario, and you'll find it here:
https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/818/~/i-94---what-to-do-if-your-i-94-is-lost,-has-incorrect-information,-or-was-not
I'm not sure what the implications will be on your pending AOS but I would imagine you'll either receive an RFE to explain this, or they will see the error for what it is and process anyway - perhaps someone else can clarify.

There is an element of injustice in the grand scheme of things, but AOS makes perfect sense to me.
When you marry or commit to a person, that means you want to be with that person. Isn't that the point of being in a relationship?
You're together - that should be allowed (and it is in most cases)
I don't understand what it means to be on the other side of the world and to say to the USCIS "Let me in your country so I can be with my spouse or fiance"
That doesn't make any sense to me.
Why aren't you already with your spouse? Because something in the small print said "go home after 90 days"?
Or because somebody in a forum told you it was too risky to stay and marry?
If you fall in love and decide to marry and want to stay with that person -- that is actually allowed.That is how relationships are supposed to work. Thankfully the US immigration system still caters for this wonderful phenomena that humans call..."being with your loved one"
But yea, get married, OP, and file everything that needs to be filed.

I've been on here over a year and this is one of the best sentences I've read so far. Gold!
