Awesome info! I have been doing a lot of networking since moving to Colorado! Meetup is great, volunteering is always a great option! Of course if you are able to financially get to these activities and pay for them, theres lots of options!
 
I've been using Facebook to meet people to build my photography portfolio - which has also helped making friends and getting to know people!  I've been getting everything together business wise so when I can work I am all ready to go!! It's definitely not easy going from 100% self reliant to having to rely on someone - hang in there to anyone struggling it will get better soon!!!
Also I got this notification this evening!! 😍

thank you!! I am already doing a few of them, I live in the mountains and besides beautiful canyons, lots of wildlife, so we hike every weekend, strenuous ones and easy ones too, and we camp in a pop up camper that my hubby got for me cause he noticed I was going crazy LOL. And thank you so much about the courses!! I need to take one for IT Library and another for project management so that will keep me busy!! THANKS

I'd say good luck! That's my birthday 😋 congrats!!

Green Card in hand! 🎉

Interview was scheduled 8/21
Interview 9/25
Card in hand 10/3

We had out interview yesterday. The officer was a really nice man, however it was difficult to see what he thinks about our case. He asked a few questions like how we met, what did we do prior meeting and asked us to name the people on some pictures. He went through i-485 form and corrected if something was changed. Also asked some questions in the end of the form and after that asked us whether we brought anything we want to include to the file. We gave him almost all evidence we had, he just looked at them real quick and took them. He didn't need wedding cards and letters on each of my and my husband name (just showing the same address), he even didn't look at them. I also brought some photos made even before visa. He looked at them and also gave them back.
 
In the end of the interview he said that he needs to look at security check which can take from 10 to 60 days. He gave us a paper saying that our case is being held for review and it can take up to 120 days. I checked the status of our case a couple of times yesterday since I was expecting to see the update about that. There was no updates and case was still at "Interview was scheduled". Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and checked the status and it was "New Card Is Being Produced" 🎉🎉 🎉
 
 

We received the letter yesterday! Our interview is scheduled for 10/24/2019 @ 12 noon!

Yay!! I feel happy for everyone!!  my office Phoenix have had people waiting for 2 years for the interview, but I am glad other offices are working on their backlog for real!!  I wish I could move my mailing address to a not too busy office, is that possible?  like using a friend's address as mailing ?

I was away for a few days, but we did receive an email on 09/18/19, that our interview has been scheduled. We are awaiting the letter in the mail that will inform us of the date and time for our interview

We filed on 6/24, NOA on 6/28.  Old site just updated to interview scheduled today!  I'm in disbelief.  We were gearing for a year-long wait.  Hoping for speedy processing for everyone.

Woo hoo! AOS interview is October 23!

That is so awesome!! Congrats!!

Received my notice today. Interview is scheduled for October 22. 

LOL my husband says the same thing to me, he has really enjoyed having me be able to do all the extra stuff during the day so on days off or evenings we have quality time together. Luckily for him when I am able to work and get my business going down here I'll still have a flexible schedule! 

My husband would 100% agree with your statements.  He has always worked and provided for himself, and for a long time for me and our son.  Being down to one income... he's at his wits end and just wants to contribute to society!  He was taking our son for long walks but it is too hot in Texas right now to have the baby out.  
 
I will say that our house is always clean and dinner is cooked when I get home from work - which I appreciate so much!  I may be sad when he is able to work 😂  Spoiled rotten!  

Guys, what about seeing places and exploring, travelling? What about books, online courses, museums, parks, home workouts, going to the gym, parks, going for a walk? 
Dont you have any hobbies? Gardening, plants, I don’t know, but there are things to enjoy in this life for some period of time to avoid getting depressed or bored.
 
You don’t have to be going to school or college to study something. You can volunteer at the church, help people or learn a new language in the meantime..

haha that is too funny,! I looked at your timeline and see yours took a month longer than our I129f - Crazy frustrating how inconsistent they are - My husband is a Veteran so I am wondering if that's what delayed us on background checks or something... neither of us have criminal records or anything🤷‍♂️... so odd, guess just luck of the draw ! Fingers crossed this step is much quicker on average lol!!

I hope you hear something soon, our I129F took longer than most other peoples at our time ( although still within possible processing times - 1 year was long LOL) 
 
So hopefully this part goes faster for you .
 
hang in there!
