A-square

Just like you said, I should practice my patience more. I finally got my NC back in the mail today. Thank God! It was in a brown manila envelope, stamped on December 7. Safe and sound, no damage at all.

I did my interview this morning and passed! 😁
Didn't get to do the same day oath ceremony because I applied for a name change. Hopefully will get the ceremony letter soon!
 
Appointment was at 9:30am. I got inside the building at 9:15am. Waited for around 30 mins and the interview started at 9:45. Everything just happened so fast. Oath, and then he asked for me to show him my GC through the plexiglass. After that the officer went through the yes or no questions super fast, he talked like an express train. I had to squeeze my brain hard to answer them. 🤪 He went on and on and didn't even mention he was going to start asking the civic questions and just did it right away after the yes or no questions. Then reading and writing test. After that he asked about my employment history, family (marriage and kid), travel history, and past addresses. Because of name change, I had to show him my birth certificate. He didn't even ask for my husband's and child's BC. Last one was checking and certifying all the changes made during the interview and then done.
 
Now I can relax for a bit. Almost done... 😊

Happy for you 🤗 Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈

Yes, I do. Surprisingly I didn't know anything until I got an USPS email and saw a letter from USCIS. I checked my online account right away. Apparently it's been scheduled since last week. 

Hey all, I finally got my interview scheduled for Sept 14. Kinda nervous. Time to start studying now. 😁

Yay!! It’s an approval notice! I’m so happy! I hope all of you get good news soon I will definitely be praying and hoping to see more approvals soon!

I logged in yesterday and found I was approved. Not sure if the shutdown will affect it being processed from here. Good luck to everyone else.

Hey, I am in Maryland too. I renewed my Driver's license in 2015 for 6 years, without any restriction, and that was with my conditional GC. I believe MVA usually gives you a DL that valid for at least 5 years for a PR.

Hi Ayu,
I know that I am not in the place to talk against you saying that we could only do housekeeping jobs since I have a degree from here. But, even in my field (museum) I had to volunteer (unpaid) for 1.5 years before I finally landed a job in my field that I love. I have experience working in museum too before I moved to the US, but they did not count it here. So, I tried my best to volunteer and intern while working as a babysitter. I don't know in what field you were working in Indonesia, but just don't give up and find a job that you love. Sorry for the loss of your dog. Jangan nyerah ya!

I arrived at USEM at 12:20 and my appointment was at 12:30. When I got in I had to give some additional documents that embassy had asked to Indonesian lady at counter no 7. I waited for 1.5 hours till I finally got called into a small room with a window as separator between me and the officer. CO was beautiful white lady and she was so nice. Did my fingerprint and oath.
The interview itself was pretty fast and went for about 12-15 mins. I couldn't tell precisely cause I was so nervous and did not even take not on what time I got called. Some questions she asked were:
1. Who petitioned for you?
2. Where did you meet your husband?
3. How long have you been married?
4. How long have you been in a relationship before the wedding?
5. Where did you guys get married?
6. Was it a big wedding or at a court?
7. Where does he live now?
8. Are you going to live at same place or move?
9. What is your husband's job?
10. What does the company mainly do?
11. When did he start this new job? (He started 2 weeks ago so I had to give CO new AOS docs with the new offer letter that stating his new salary)
12. Have you met his family? Has he met your family?
13. Has he visited you?
Then next questions were about me since I was an international student before.
1. Where did you go to school?
2. Did you finish your school?
3. Did you do any internship/job after you graduated? Where?
4. Have you ever overstayed your tourist visa?
5. What is your current job?
6. Have you ever been arrested by police or immigrant officer?
7. When will you fly back to America?
Those were the questions she asked. I have memorized mostly about my husband and his family but then she also asked a lot of questions about me haha. After that she said, "Congratulations, your visa has been approved! Welcome!" and I said thank you. Before I left she said "Have a safe travel!" I replied "Thank you and have a good day!"
So happy and so relieved. Thank you Jesus for this smooth interview.
Hope I'm able to help you through this review

Yes. I also did that. I sent out my package on Aug 15, paid IV on the 21st and filled out DS-260 on Aug 24. By the way, you should call NVC to review your choice of agent if you haven't done that.
