Hello folks, our AOS interview was yesterday June 21st at San Bernardino field office, it was scheduled for 8.55am but we got started by 9.38am. it was very interactive, the adjudicating officer was a black cheerful man in his 50s. He started by the sworn statement, asked of our IDs, where and how we met, where we live, size of the house, days our trash is being taken, our phone numbers, wedding ceremony, how long we dated, who attended our marriage, then the yes/no questions. Then he checked our documents and support documents and the originals comparing them with the copies, got to my birth certificate he said the were wearing out cos of aging, that he has to send to his supervisor which he excused himself and came back after two minutes without it(birth certificate). Then continue to ask questions about our families, how many siblings we have, our parents, then asked if I still belonged to the professional bodies I listed in my i-485 and if I've started working or have worked in the US since I arrived, I told him no that most of all I will have to take my professional exams (medical field) before I could work. We started talking about his allergies and was buzzed by his supervisor. He went out, came back and then printed some papers and said he have to go back to his supervisor to sign us out. He came back and gave us a paper and said we will have to re-order another of my birth certificate asap but we will get a mail of the instructions in the mail. So I have ordered another birth certificate from my home country today hopefully it will be here next week as next Monday and Tuesday is a national holiday (Ed-el fitr for our Muslim brothers and sisters). So we are waiting for the mail to come as well as my birth certificate to arrive so as to send it out asap. Fingers crossed. Have some couple of interviews (job) lined up from tomorrow. 
 
Congratulations guys on all that have gotten good updates on their status and good luck to those still waiting. We shall all get to the promised Land. Cheers!!!

I am very happy to say that the EAD/AP card is finally here in hand!!!! It has been a long journey but I'm so thankful to this site and thankful for all the positive people that have been motivating and encouraging from start to finish. It's amazing the progress that happened starting with the K1 and now EAD, in a time of a little over 1 year. Best of luck to everyone who is still waiting. Love wins. God Bless!

Yes, I just looked just now and it's on its way! Good to hear yours is in the mail as well!

Congratulations this was exactly me yesterday, and we were also at day 74. Someone on here noted that you get a combo card and they don't always update the AP status. 

Thank you so much and please do let me know when your status changes to card mailed

Randomly checked the site and it says Work card is being produced but nothing about AP. Today is day 74. Not sure how long it takes to get approved for AP as well...

Oh wow, thanks so much for your response. I'm so excited. Good to know.

Free tacos from trump tower grill.... because, y'know, they are the best. Better than tacos in Mexico in fact. They make such great tacos in the trump tower grill, and they are soon going to be at least 20% cheaper than those ones coming from Mexico.
At least 20%. Minimum.
We are gonna have so many great tacos you are gonna be sick of tacos. 
 
 

I am sure the OP knows the real situation, economical with the truth is what we call it.

My husband received 3 text messages at midnight acknowledging receipt of our package. We sent our package on 3/25 and it was received on 3/28. I'm so excited for this update!

I believe its standard for the CO to advise the applicant to pick up the visa in 2 weeks. The clinic and embassy are separate entities that work together to provide the service of visa processing, the shots and examination are all apart of the requirements that go along with the visa process. If your husband felt that he had already taken some of the shots before he could have taken his previous shot record to show what shots have been administered in the past so that they could have been documented in the medical exam (if allowed.) All applicants have to meet the same criteria and shots, there are no real short cuts. The best advice I can give is to make sure you have submitted a COMPLETED medical exam to the embassy and that your husband continues to follow up with the embassy to ensure that the results are reviewed and processed accordingly. In my mind this seems like the fastest way for you guys to be together. Good luck

Trust me I know your frustrations on not being able to simply speak to a human regarding your case. I've been trying for a while. 2 things happened: 1) I used to work for the US government so I leveraged that as much as I could 2) I got lucky because I've been trying for a while to speak with anyone and I just happened to place the call at the right time to a fellow federal employee who was able to connect me

This is really exciting to hear. Sounds like a clean slate from all the awful people I've read about in the past.

How do you not comment? Do you just say "I don't have a comment on that "? Only curious because I'm trying to prep my fiancé for our interview and I didn't know this could also be done like if he doesn't remember something
