Congratulations!!! Very happy for you!!
 
Our interview is today in about an hour and a half so this definitely helps. Thank you ❤️

Okie doke, here's the detailed rundown of our Green Card interview; I'll put a copy in a review of the office too.
 
First off, a list of what we took, and whether it was needed during the interview:
- Copy of I-864 - sponsorship form; not needed, but we took it just to be safe
- All of my husband's pay slips since the November application; not needed, but again just to be safe (We weren't sure if we'd get an RFE here, because my husband earned less than the limit in his 2017 tax return and only got a promotion in June of 2018. His 2018 tax return was also below the limit because he only had six months in his current position)
- Our 2018 Joint Tax return; not needed
- My husband's (sponsor) birth certificate + copy; Not needed but it is requested on the letter
- My (beneficiary) birth certificate + copy; Not needed but is requested on the letter
- My Husband's passport + copy; Not needed
- My Passport + copy; Actually needed! Yay! He didn't take the copy, though, because there was already one in the file.
- My Husband's driving license; Needed; was reviewed to get into the building and again in the office
- My UK driving license; Needed; I guess as an extra form of identification
- My Employment Authorization Document; Needed; it actually does request this on the letter too so definitely take it if you have one!
- Interview Letter; Needed; again, it's requested
- Certified copy of marriage certificate; Not needed! Weirdly he didn't ask for it at all! Definitely take it with you though, when you go.
- Vaccination worksheet provided during the K1 medical; Not needed but mentioned
- Print out of I94 Record (entry on K1); Needed
- Joint Bank Account Statement; Needed and kept by the officer
- Printed page of husband's life & medical insurance showing me as the beneficiary; Needed and kept by the officer
- Copy of the joint lease for our apartment; Needed and kept by the officer
- Wedding photo album and two loose pictures; Needed and reviewed by the officer; kept the loose copies
 
Our appointment was at 1.45PM at the Jacksonville office. We arrived at 1.30PM and made our way through security, and were directed to sign in with the reception clerk. The clerk then printed out a ticket with our number on it, and directed us to the waiting room. As we waited there we noticed several other couples but no one I recognised from here (might not even have been Adjustment of Status couples!). There were a few TVs displaying information, and an example of a Civics question for naturalisation; (which ocean can be found off of the East Coast?).
 
We were there maybe about five minutes before the officer came and called our ticket number. He was nice enough - a little brusk, perhaps, but definitely friendly! We followed him to a little room in the back of the building - which was a relief to my husband because there were windows in the waiting room similar to the windows you stand at for K1, and his comment was that it didn't seem very private. There we were told to remain standing for the oath (he did let me put down my folder though!) and we swore in to the interview. We were told to be seated - I had to sit on the right because he needed to take my fingerprints (both index fingers) and my photograph.
 
He asked for our IDs; my husband's driving license, my passport, EAD and driving license. I explained that I didn't yet have a US one, only a UK one. We told him that we're working on it and that I've got a learners permit. Then he confirmed that we were adjusting from a K1, that this was our first marriage, that we had no children, asked me to spell out my name (first, middle and new last name), and asked me my date of birth. He asked my husband what address we lived at - my husband, who has struggled with our new address since we moved, took a while to remember but did explain that he'd lived at his previous address for twenty years before moving to the new one. The officer seemed pretty satisfied with that and moved on to asking me all the questions that were on the form about criminal history, whether I had killed anyone, whether I belonged to the communist party etc. My husband found that a little weird.
 
Then he checked the medical on his PC, confirmed that I'd had the medical done previously and not done a new one. Then he asked for any joint bank statements we had, any leases. He made the assumption we didn't have any joint insurance, and seemed pleasantly surprised when I put that in front of him. He wanted photos too - and looked through the entire album that we had brought with us - and took the paper copies for his records. He asked who someone was in the wedding album (my dad!)
 
Then he asked my husband questions; when and how did me meet, he wanted the month and year too. When did we meet in person (month and year), where did we stay, when did we start dating, who proposed to who, when did my husband propose, where did my husband propose, had we had any children, had my husband ever been to the UK, how many times and the reason for his visit, has my husband met my family, had I met my husband's family.
 
Then he said he needed to print something from his computer but his printer wasn't working so he left the room to try it elsewhere. This is where I thought he was printing an RFE, because my husband - who is terrible with dates - kept getting dates wrong. From the way he said he was going to ask my husband questions, I realised I wasn't allowed to help too, which was hard! When he returned, without paper, he restarted his PC to get the thing to print - and surprise! it was a thing for me and my husband to sign referring to removal of conditions. He said that we had to apply any time before the greencard expired, but no sooner than 21 months "from today", and that the greencard would be in the mail. It honestly took a few moments for it to sink in because I'd super convinced myself that were were getting an RFE.
 
He asked if we'd prepared the forms for the AOS ourselves, and then assured us that the ROC would be "much easier" (so maybe I won't have to do a second interview..? One can hope! 😂).
 
Then he escorted us back to the entrance to the building and wished us luck! About thirty to forty five minutes later I had an email to say that a new card had been ordered for production!
 
Detailed enough @Allaboutwaiting?  

I received my greencard in the mail today! Waahooo 😁😁😁😁
 
-AOS receipt date:10/19/18
-Biometrics:11/19/18
-GC Interview date: 5/9/19
-GC approval date: 5/9/19 we weren't approved on the spot during the interview but received the online status change within the same day)
-GC in hand: 5/17/19 USCIS provided tracking info through USPS and the dates are pretty accurate. I bumped into the post man on my way home and told him I was really excited to see him!!! Post man: 😳😳😳❓❓I gave him a hug after I explained what I was expecting and he said he was really happy for me. 😁😁😁
 
No update at all on EAD/AP even though the whole package was sent off together. Oh well😒 not that it matters now.
 
Now that my watch has ended, I prob won't be checking the site often till in about 2 years😝 best of luck to all you folks! Xoxo

I don't know why I ever contact USCIS. Every time I do, I hang up in tears. Just spoke to a tier 2 officer and she was soooo rude and condescending. I am currently out of normal processing times according to the USCIS website, and still no sign of EAD and no one at USCIS cares or has any answers and I cannot even submit a legitimate case inquiry without manipulating my PD, because the USCIS website which shows October 24 as the receipt date for a case inquiry is WRONG according to USCIS!! I need strength to get through this because I cannot take much more. I am going to have to cancel my wedding back home in October, which is DEVASTATING. 

Update I just received a email that ead card being produced.......hopes comes soon along with his AP and SS if Gc comes thats the best news ever but for now we are happy!!

Good Luck in the interview! Let us know how it goes.
 
Ours is scheduled very early in the morning, hopefully the IO is a morning person lol 
Sorry to hear that! 
 
Did I’d you reach out to your congressmen? 

Just to spread the good news, had my AOS interview yesterday... We got on the spot approval. 
 
When we arrived all phones had to be turned off so not sure these rumors going around about wanting to see content on your mobile. As they specifically ask you to turn them off. but i cant speak for everyone so maybe if they dont believe your relationship they might want to see your phone? 
 
Anyways really happy starting working tomorrow and my life is finally back on track.  Gonna be signing off for a while as now GC is approved and i have my / EAD / combo card  in hand. Just want to give everyone hope that we are at the final end of the process and just hang in there no matter how hard it seems there is always light at the end of the tunnel
 

Thank you! All the best with your interview. It’s exciting to finally get scheduled. You will do great!

They received mon renew package on September 04, still no news after 8 months. My previous combo card expired on December and my work permit extension expires on Juin 12   

You're welcome.
 
I-94 records EVERY entry, no matter which point of entry you use -land, air or sea- , which country you're arriving from or which document you use to enter as a non immigrant.
 
Your entry might not appear on the site due to various reasons -such as a mistake or you no longer being considered a visitor-, but that is irrelevant regarding the interview to adjust status based on marriage.

Your closest CBP

Received Mail a week after online Status changed, interview 4 weeks after mail received. So probably 5 weeks from now!
