    I can't answer that either. Thats the problem with this being the K-1 AOS forum yet everyone comes here anyway. lol I have noticed that the ones who should be in the other go there too. LOL I get too confused with the other visa types. 
     
    I got my EAD approval notice in the mail today. Now to wait for the actual card. WOOHOO!!

    That's amazing!
     
    This morning I've received a text message from DHS with the USPS tracking number which said it'd be delivered tomorrow, Wednesday. However, for my surprise my card arrived today in the mail! Also 1 week after my interview!

    Still no updated on EAD/AP... PD is December 4th, 2017, currently at 162 days. 
     
    But my interview is scheduled! Interview is on 6/14. So it seems like I'm getting my interview before EAD/AP. Ha!

    Well we had the interview on the 9th, afterward the lady asked us if we understood how the conditional status worked and then handed us a form saying she reserved the right to review the packet. I guess the Cleveland office typically does interviews in the morning, recheck packet in the afternoon and approve. The 797 notify us of approval was in the mail today and dated for the 9th. So now just waiting for the actual card. Kind of happy with how much faster this was than the K1 nightmare.

    UPDATE:
     
    What a way to  start your day by getting an email from USCIS that your card has been mailed today yahoooo!!!!!!  (bizarre though because all the updates I received from them is from 5:38 am and 5:48 am. I didn't know that they update cases that early )
     
    I also checked our mailbox and saw another letter from NBC (I-797) another yahooooo moment  
     
     
    Congratulations to @pajobra for getting your EAD/AP card.

    We thought that the interview went well.  She was going to review it a little bit more but was inclined to approve it. We will see. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

    Hey guys!
     
    We just came back from our interview in Phoenix, AZ.
    It was pretty fast; it took us around 45min in total since the time we arrived.
     
    Our interview was scheduled for 1:15PM and we arrived 1:10PM. We went through security and checked in. Got my picture taken and index fingers scanned around 1:20PM. About 4min later we got called for the interview. The IO was a very nice gentleman.
    Once we got in his room and explained all the procedure and how the interview was going to be.
    He first asked us for our passports and my SS card, then the I-485 questions and some regular stuff like full name, maiden name, address, telephone number, and also my hubby's info (DOB, city where he was born). After that I had to sign the I-485 form that I had sent with my application. He also said that the GC interviews for the Phoenix office are taking 1 year after applying so we were lucky.
    Then he asked us to tell him our story and he was writing the important facts on a piece of paper. After that he asked if we brought any documents to show him, and we showed him a bunch of docs (joint bank account, joint lease, life, auto and health insurance, copies of boarding passes, hotel/Airbnb, passport stamps) and pictures we've taken with family and friends and of our wedding day. He went through the pictures very quickly and asked a few questions about them. We also brought the wedding cards we received but he said he didn't need to see it since we had so much already.
    He then told us I would receive the card in the mail in 2-3 weeks and if I didn't receive it in 30 days, I'd have to schedule an InfoPass to see what was going on.
     
    I asked him in the end about my SS Card and he said I'd have to go to the SS Office with my GC and ask for a new one with my married name and without saying it was needed for work with the DHS authorization.
    He congratulated us and wished us luck! We were out of there at 1:55PM!
     
    I have already received a text message and an email about the change in my case status. Now it says "Card Production".
     
    I wish you all good luck and stay positive!

    Just had my AOS interview this morning at 11:30am. I'd like to share my experience with everyone here: 
     
    I moved to the US from Canada under K1 Visa on Nov 11 2017. We got married on Dec 8th and sent my AOS/EAD/AP application in early Jan. I was expecting to receive EAD and AP in 3 months and AOS in 6 months. Little did I know, it takes way longer than 3 months to get a EAD/AP these days! But I was surprised to receive a letter in mail in April for an interview on May 4 2018. 
     
    My interview was at 11:30am at Los Angeles office. My husband and I arrived at 11:05am. There was a bit of wait to go through the security line at the main entrance. A security guard came over, and took us and a guy in front of us to a different entrance without a line. So we cleared through security in less than 2 minutes. The security guard was SUPER nice! Asked what we were here for, and patiently guided us where to go and which suite to go once we were on 8th floor. 
    Checked in at window 4 at Suite 8024 at 11:10am. There were about 7-10 groups of people in the room when we arrived. Started at 11:20am, more than half of them were called into the interview rooms. Then my name was called at around 11:35-11:40am by our immigration officer - Officer Chan. Honestly i was quite shocked at how quickly we were called. I expected to wait for 45mins to an hour! 
     
    We got to the interview office which looked just like any other office. We swore under oath, then sat down. It was super chill and not scary at all. We made some small talks. He then opened our file, and said "so you came under K1 Visa, did you get married within 90 days?" I told him my arrival date and our wedding date; and confirmed that we were married within 90 days. He asked if I brought any wedding photos with me. I said i did and explained that we only had a simple wedding at the courthouse, but our real wedding would be in Hawaii this Sep. He asked why in Hawaii and if we had any families there. My husband answered that was the destination of our first trip together. Then I showed him 3 photos of our wedding, one of us with my in-laws and the officiant at the courthouse, a photo of us and one with families at a Korean BBQ restaurant right after our courthouse wedding LOL! He was like Korean BBQ?? Thats when we started talking about random stuff, travelling and restaurants in LA. When we chatted about travelling, we mentioned that we had been to Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and China together. 
     
    Here are some green card related questions he asked:
    - He asked if my medical file (sealed envelop) was submitted at POE. I said yes and that my medical examination was done in less than a year ago.
    - What does my husband do for a living?
    - Am I currently working? I said no but I had a job offer. Then he asked what I did in Canada (Financial Planner) and which company I received the job offer from in LA (a major financial institution). Apparently the officer's wife was in the same industry and we talked about job opportunities here.   
    - Can we give him some joint documents such as lease agreement, insurance papers and etc. I brought quite a bit of evidence, so I gave him our lease agreement, joint car insurance policy, 2 joint bank accounts statements, and our previous lease agreement in Canada. I was pulling out more documents and he said that was enough lol. 
    - He asked to see my husband's (USC) identifications - passport and original birth certificate.
    - I answered NO to all of the questions on i-485; he asked if I needed to make any changes to them. And he asked me to answer all the standard security questions. 
     
    And that was it, he closed our file and asked if I had any questions for him. At this point, he didn't say if I was approved. So I just simply asked if I was approved LOL!!! Then he said I was approved; my file was clear and our financials looked good. I should expect to receive my green card in 4-6 weeks. I told him that I sort of needed the green card ASAP as my new employer needed me to start right away; and my new employer was waiting for my call after the interview. He joked about calling my new company from his office to let them know. Haha! He offered and gave me an approval letter to show to my new employer! 
     
    We left the USCIS building before 12pm. What a pleasant experience at the LA office. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely nice! Cheers to the end of this journey!
