Good luck to everyone and good luck to those still waiting! Your time is coming!!!
 
Until ROC Filing in 2021.... peace out USCIS!!!!

@MellamanlolaHere’s a silly question how do we know what’s our priority date? And second question when did you file for AOS and where is your field office. Sorry if I’m being to personal just trying to understand this whole situation. Forgive me if I’m overstepping

Congrats to you and your hubby, happy for you guys and congrats on the baby. I’m still waiting for and interview date since sept 2018. Loosing hope 

Case notification just updated and received text message and email!!!! GREEN CARD APPROVED!!!!!! 
 
WE.....ARE.....DONNNNNEEEEEE!!!

So, today was our Green Card Interview at the Philadelphia Field Office. I can truly say that for it to take as long as it did to get to this point from our filing date, this was the most QUICKEST and EASIEST part of the whole process!!!
 
Our interview was scheduled for 10:45am, we arrived at 10:15-10:20am. There's a parking lot across the street from the building that has a flat rate of $20 for all day parking which sucked because we weren't going to be there all day but it was either that or having my husband to keep running downstairs to feed the meter. Anyway, we went through security (cell phones are not allowed inside the building just have to keep them on silent) but no food or drink (glad I had a big breakfast as I'm almost 9 months pregnant and would have been starving and grouchy if I didn't). Checked in at the front desk with the interview notice and driver's licenses, and was told to go to the 2nd floor and sit close to door 3.
 
It was a lot of people waiting but it flowed very well and was very organized from what I can see. I actually did see a couple go in separately to be interviewed so I assume they had a "Stokes Interview" because they were in there for a long while (we actually left and the husband was still waiting on his wife to come out). 
 
Around 11:30-11:45am, my husband's name was called. IO Alton, was her name, interviewed us - she was younger than me, very nice and pleasant. She immediately took notice of my belly and my waddle and said, "I'm gonna get you guys out of here quickly because you look like you're about to have the baby any minute now!" I appreciated her kindness and consideration but told her that it wasn't needed. We walked into her office, she asked us to raise our right hand and we were sworn in. She asked my husband to scan his index fingers from both hands, and advised that the interview would be recorded.
 
She first asked for us to present all original documents so she could compare them to the copies already provided in the AOS filing, so she looked at his birth certificate, marriage license, my original divorce decree (she asked for a copy as well because she claimed she couldn't find the copy that was provided) and she asked for our passports. She asked me (USC) the following:
 
What is my full name?
What is my DOB?
Where was I born?
What is my current address to where I live?
How many times have I been married?
How many children do I have?
 
She went through our file and then asked my husband (Beneficiary) the following:
 
What is his full name?
What is his DOB?
Where was he born?
What is his current address to where he live?
Where does he work?
What is his SSN#? (he didn't know it by heart so he gave her his SS card so she can confirm it was correct on the petition)
How many times has he been married?
What date did we get married?
What are his parents' names?
She asked him to explain what happened during Thanksgiving 2016 when he attempted to come visit me using his visitor's visa for which he was denied entry, and was made to go back home and had his visitor's visa cancelled. As he provided his explanation, she nodded in agreement and understanding, I apologized for had happened and moved on.
She asked him had he traveled outside the US since receiving his EAD/AP combo card?
Then she asked him all the questions that are on the AOS petition that we answered "No" to, as if to confirm that these answered wouldn't change (which they didn't).
 
Finally, she asked for any documents or additional evidence we might have had to show proof of ongoing marriage, so I provided the following:
 
2018 Tax Return (which we filed Married Joint; even though he hadn't worked last year)
Car Insurance Cards
Credit Card Statements (2 months worth only)
Copy of Health Insurance Cards, along with printout showing the date he was added to my Health insurance plan (which was 3 days after we got married)
Beneficiary documents such as 401k and Life Insurance showing his name being added
4 months Joint Bank Statements (and I highlighted his transactions to show spending and his direct deposit from his employer - also attached his paystubs for the payroll that wasn't direct deposited when he first started)
And I printed 40 pictures and told her she could keep them all but she only took maybe like 5-10 of them because she said she didn't want to weigh down our file anymore than it was with all our prior relationship proof (K1 visa packet is in the same file)
 
While going through the photos, she talked about how great we looked in the pictures, talked about her having her son last year during the summer, she noticed I had "Bruno Mars" ticket stubs from when we went to his concert last year and talked about that...I mean, the whole interview process was so relaxing and very pleasant. After taking the photos she wanted, she said "everything is perfect, and we're good to go! You will have an update to your case within 4-6 weeks but most likely sooner." She said congratulations to us on the baby and good luck and now we can just focus on the baby coming in the next few weeks. And that was it! We left at 12:15pm!
 
She didn't ask any hard questions, or relationship questions, no tricky questions - it was very basic, which could only mean they never questioned the legitimacy of our relationship and marriage. 
 
Glad this part of the process is over and we finally get a break from dealing with USCIS and the immigration process for at least 2 years! 

The thing is that now in 2019 USCIS is doing last in-first out with all aos applications 🙄, therefore people that filed this year are getting processed faster than people that filed last year. The reason for that is the fact that the wait times were so long they had to grant permanent GC instead of conditional and as you may know, they’re losing profit. My priority date has passed already and i have been ‘ready to be scheduled for an interview’ since November and tbh as long as i have my work permit and when every is set and done i get a permanent GC and kiss USCIS goodbye for 3 years, I’m good with that. So just make sure you get a busy job that keeps your mind off of the wait. Travel, etc. 

Long Island has its own FO and it only processes LI, Queens and Nassau (that’s all), the only LFO that process Orange is Albany, which also processes many other areas unfortunately (18 to be exact.) 
Sending good vibes and lots of luck, we’re all in this together.

Hi everyone i just recieved my card is in production notification for my green card. 
 
My entire process:
 
Married December 27 2017
Filed December 12 2018 in queens
NOA December 19 2018
Biometrics appointment February 12th 2019
Interview scheduled notification  on April 10th 2019
Interview  Date May 21st 2019
Card in production May 28th 2019
 
My husband and i arrived for our interview on time. We had an older lady do our interview. She was a bit tough and asked tough questions to my husband. Atleast 95% of the questions were asked to my husband. Some of which he knew, some he didnt. For example she asked my husband what college i went to in my country( i only went to the college for 2 months, so i never even mentioned it to him) she asked him my middle name, if i had kids etc. Our interview lasted for 1 hour ( she was thorough. We got the paper that said our case is being reviewed and to wait up to 120 days.
Thank you lord i got the notification that my card is being produced today.
 
All the best to everyone here!

Just got our interview letter in the mail....June 18th @10:45pm is judgment day. Just happy it's scheduled before I give birth. 

I believe the Medical is good for one year. If you have the interview more than a year after the medical was done then you need a new one.

Had my green card interview yesterday at 7:30am at the Denver Field Office. We were recommended for approval and was told to wait about 3 weeks or so for the green card to show up in our mailbox. Got a notification this morning that there was a change in my case status. Went to check it out and it says, "New Card is being produced". 

As of Sept 2018, our case is ready to schedule an interview but nothing yet.245 days our case is active , it’s very frustrating. Hoping we hear something soon for you and myself.

Congratulations I also got interview was scheduled. Nothing about my EAD tho but I’m so happy for us 🤗

Hello everyone
 
My status just changed to Interview Was Scheduled.
 
My NOA1 date is December 19th, 2019.
I live in Queens, NY
 
I am so excited because I was expecting to wait like 10 months for the Green Card. I did not expedite the case at all.
Now it seems possible my wife will get her green card before the EAD.
 

Congratulations! I also got the "Interview Was Scheduled" status change today!! I'm in Queens...things REALLY seem to be moving here! 
 
My priority date is 12/03/2018. Still in shock. I got my EAD about 2 weeks ago! 

NOA1 - 01/17/2019
 
Got notification EAD is being mailed and interview was scheduled. 
So happy !!
 
and..yes - we're from Queens

Good Morning New York filers. I filed on December 5th,2018 didn’t have any change of status until yesterday it said “interview is ready to be scheduled” I thought I would have waited at least another 2 months for that to change but nope☺️ This morning I woke up to interview was scheduled. Queens office is definitely faster comparing to other boroughs. Hang in there everyone.  

Hi I think yours will be Manhattan. But you can check by going on USCIS website and put in your zip code to find your field office. Here’s  the link.
