Hi everyone!I can’t believe it’s going to be 2 years already ! Sent package on the 3rd and it was delivered today.  Now we wait! 😅

Here we go again! Our package was delivered today (8/5). Now starts the long waiting period filled with anxiety and obsession over what comes next! 
 
I used a credit card and signed up for text notifications - I will update this group as things progress! 

I should have my wife's packet out maybe as soon as sometime in the afternoon after I wake up. Got to write up 5 summary letters detailing each section, review each section and place sticky note tabs for faster file location and I think I will be able to go straight to USPS/FEDEX and mail it off for her. I am debating before I send it off though if I should scan it all as one huge PDF Document, and slap it to the cloud, create a view only/suggestions link and then slap then into a new letter just in case they "lose" anything lol. So yeah, I definitely went a little overboard. I have her folder to almost an inch thick lol.

After all the examples I ended up finding on here I went with something like this. Her folder is currently almost an inch thick roflmao. I was planning to do more but scaled it back some. 😆😅

I have Six Sections in Total...
Cover Letter w/ Table of Contents Fees & Forms Proof of Living Together Proof of Shared Financial Responsibilities Shared Life Experience Since Spouse Received 2yr Green Card Plans For The Future

Hey everyone! Best of luck to us all. We just got a new laser printer, which will be getting quite the workout in the next couple weeks as I print and prepare our packet. We're filing later in the month.

Hi all! Will be filing 8/20. May the odds be ever in our favor!

Got my text message today EAC receipt #.

Hi all,
mailed  my package 8|2. Now the wait begins.Good luck everyone 🙏

Got my text message today EAC receipt #.

We filed the I-751 in late May, and the package was 528 single-sided pages.  How much you send is a personal decision of course, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible with evidence since the date of our marriage, so we sent every page of our joint checking account since marriage (3 years) and every page of our joint credit card statements (3 years), plus all IRS tax transcripts and much more.  The I-751 instructions say regarding evidence of the bona fide marriage relationship, to "Submit copies of as many documents as you can to establish this fact, to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date..." (page 5 of the I-751 instructions), so that's exactly what we did.  Good luck!

They rarely stamp.
Why? because all approvals at the interview must go through a supervisor so unless your interviewer is a supervisor, you wont be approved at the interview.

They didn’t.Stamped the passport and told us that we’ll receive an answer on 60 days and next day got a notification form I- 485 was approved and next day card being produced.in a week got my green card in mail.

Yes he stamp my passport.No they don’t take your combo card.That is yours until you apply for citizenship.Good luck!🙏

Birth certificate for both of you,naturalization certificate for petitioner, pictures of you with family and friends, a copy of DS 3025,passport copies.

Also divorce degrees for both if married before.Good luck!!🙏

Guys, yesterday I saw on my Informed Delivery that I was getting something from USCIS. I was disappointed after I was able to (barely) make out the text on the first line as being ”application for employment authorization and advanced”. They’re just sending me another combo card.
 
However, today my I-485 status was updated to Card/Document Production. And when I track it I can see that the card will be here Tuesday! I feel incredibly relieved. And ready to be done with USCIS for another year and nine months. I’m going to renew my expired ID, get my driver’s license, book travel, and respond to requests from work about my expiring work authorization extension  
 
It took them seven weeks post interview to approve so everyone who’s stuck should not give up hope for a good result despite delays.

Hey all, had my interview on Thursday. It went well! It was much more thorough than I had anticipated, but the officer was nice and seemingly at least relatively new to the job. She asked my husband a ton of questions, writing down all his answers on a sheet. And then she flipped the sheet and asked me similar questions. I had to correct him on one thing, but nothing big. The biggest point of concern was when she mentioned I might need another medical. I have read the legal text and I know that's not the case so carefully I pointed out all I have to do is apply within a year of the medical, she said she will look into it with her supervisor. If they ask me to do another medical I'm going to be very disappointed because there's no support for that in the INA. In other words, no approval yet, hoping this doesn't take too long to sort out.

I’m so happy for you!!!
 
we just moved to NJ after I got my EAD and just got my green card in the mail yesterday actually!
 
it was easy, it will end without you even realize it! My husband was asking “when will the real questions start?” At the interview 😂

My GC interview has finally been scheduled! I'm so happy and a little bit surprised, was expecting this to drag on (I'm in NYC where there are huge delays). Filed 6/4/2018, ready to be scheduled for interview since 7/25/2018. 

Can you please update us on if you filed for EAD and AP renwal at the same time (180 days before expiry)? If so, were both accepted and renewed without issue?
