Fingers crossed for you that your status changes online. Did you receive your EAD/AP card yet?

No. I don't think they will give any because i had interview already. I'm crossing my fingers now and praying to get the green card next week. 

I am waiting for my case status change online because the interviewer said they will send an email to me. It was 1 hr and 5 mins interview by the way!

Hi @Jemilyn how did your AOS interview go? 

It was pretty intense! Or maybe just the way i feel.... most of the questions are from your AOS form and i gave them some original documents of my health insurance and wedding pictures and some pictures in out trips, some conversations too when i was still in the Philippines.

I came to know about the "Evolution of Relationship Letter" in internet and thought it would be a great idea. And Indeed it was. Because I have that letter already included in my AOS packet, I didn't get any of those questions. But Detroit office appears to be pretty relaxed and officers are very nice. Unless we have something fishy going on in the application, you should be very good there. the IO just verified my birth details and my parents names and when i came to the USA for the first time and what jobs I did. Whether I broke any laws and the usual I-485 YES/NO questions. And she asked about my baby and my wife and i discussed about her. Other than that it was pretty cool and relaxed. I was so nervous before getting called for the interview but once my wife and I entered the IO's office, we are pretty relaxed and everything was set. 

 

I wish you good luck with your interview. 11:20AM seems to be a good time slot, because right after they are done with our interview, its their lunch time. So they would be in a hurry to finish it up soon. I am hoping your interview would be as easy as mine if not easier and more relaxed. What day you have the interview BTW ???

Thank you. I will have my interview this Wednesday November 7 . I heard a lot of feedback too Detroit Field office interview so smoothly they just verify some things in the AOS packet and then that's it ☺️

We had our AOS interview yesterday at the Detroit Field office and we got approved on the Spot . Our appointment is at 11:20AM and we reached there and passed through the security around 11:00. And we waited in the large waiting area for about 40 minutes until the Office called my name for the interview. The IO is a very sweet middle aged white lady and she appeared to have gone through my application thoroughly and the moment we walked into her office, she said she doesn't have any questions about the validity of my marriage and she just need to verify some basic information and she would approve my green-card. Everything went very smooth. She just verified the stuff on the forms like my DOB, parents names, current address and when i came into US, what visa statuses i had and so on. And then the mandatory YES/NO questions from form I-485. And then she asked my wife if its her signature on the forms and she checked with me about my signatures as well. The interview lasted for about 15 or 20 minutes and at the end, she said she just approved the Green-card and she ordered for the card. I requested to see if she can place the I-551 stamp on my passport but she said it's only required if I am travelling within the next one or two weeks outside the USA. So I didn't get a stamp on my passport. She explained about the conditional residency and we need to apply for ROC in about 21 months and made us sign a document referring to the 2 year conditional residency and removal of conditions. And we thanked the Immigration officer for her help and support and she walked us out to the waiting area and we thanked her and said good bye for now.

 

So overall it was a great experience and very easy than i expected. The IO did't even ask for any originals or any documents. We brought with us a whole bunch of documents and 4 albums of pictures. But she did't even look at them. So I believe a strong application with good explanation letter about evolution of relationship helped us alot. The IO even commented it to my wife who wrote the "Evolution of relationship letter" that she loved how my wife explained everything in her letter addressing the officer.

 

I thank you all the VJ filers for their valuable support and advice they gave me through this AOS journey and I wish you all the very best and hoping for your AOS to go as smoothly as possible. 😁

Congratulations! It is my first time to hear the " Evolution of Relationship Letter " I don't have it in my AOS application I might expect some questions on AOS interview how we met??? And other questions? My AOS interview will be next week same time 11:20am hope I will going to have same smooth interview next week ☺️ God Bless us all

Actually- not necessarily, am looking at it now. What are you looking at?
Detroit seems pretty good-
I mean it's no Montana or Greer, SC but it's not LA or Houston or some of these Florida places
I think you should be getting ur interview by year end.

Stay patient. It's gonna happen!

Looking at the estimated time in the uscis website 

i hope so getting tired eating popcorn in the house and watching tv 😢
