    If your interview is scheduled 2 years after the date of marriage, you get the 10 year GC instead of the 2 year conditional one, so you don't have to apply for the removal of conditions.

    Your health insurance in Canada "expired" the moment you left Canada and started immigrating to the US, provincial health care won't cover the cost for your child birth I am pretty sure, as how much it cost, I have no idea 😮 Maybe better to have the baby in US?

    Yeah, I guess we got lucky. We honestly just needed some good news and were very, very surprised to get the notification that the interview was scheduled. Good luck to you if you're still waiting.

    So today we had our interview in Charlotte. Got there super early for an 8 am appointment. Got called back at 8:05 and out the door by 8:30. A lot of form questions, not really that many about our relationship besides identifying locations and times of pictures we submitted. The agent was pretty friendly and even made a joke or two during the process which helped alleviate stress. In the end he didn't guarantee approval but said it was highly likely in the next week once it gets signed off by the supervisor. I know CLT is understaffed from friends who recently has interviews and were told similar things. So waiting with baited breath for the status to change on the web/app, or a letter to come saying approved, or even better the Green Card coming in the mail. 
     
    Best of luck to all!

    We had our interview this morning at 8:30 am at the St. Louis field office. We arrived at 8:00 am, we were called back at 8:45 and finished the interview at 9:15. So the interview took exactly 30 minutes. We had to put our phones and smart watches into a little locker. 
                We got into the room and the IO was very nice and professional. She took my husband's (immigrant) photo and finger print of both pointer fingers. She went through each questions on the AOS application with him, including all of the various questions about if he's ever been a prostitute or involved in the communist party etc. After that she had him sign a paper with the changes she made to the application which included my name change and the place he went through customs upon entry.
               Next she asked us to present any photos and additional proof of a legitimate marriage. We had prepared a huge binder of documents including copies of all of our past applications, but she asked just to keep the actual proof we brought with us. We had many photos, emails regarding the planning of our wedding, a copy of our wedding vows, marriage certificate, shared accounts (We don't have a shared bank account but we do have an Amazon family account together, but she never asked about a joint bank account for anyone wondering), my father did an affidavit certifying we are in a legitimate marriage and that he attended our wedding, our lease agreement, and our car insurance and renter's insurance. She looked through all the photos and provided documents.
             Then she asked the following questions directed to both of us:
    1) How did you meet?  
    2) Why did you decide to move to the US instead of her moving to Canada?
    3) Who visited who first?
    4) How long did you date before you were married?
    5) Where did you get married?
    6) Where was the wedding reception at?
    7) Were both of your families in attendance at the wedding?
    8) Is there anything that bothers you about your spouse?
    9) Do you talk about the future? What are your future plans together?
    10) What do you plan on doing together later today? 
             After that I signed a document saying I understood my financial responsibility for him according to my affidavit of support. She told him that he is not allowed to get any government assistance before he becomes a citizen. She explained the next steps and period of time when we will need to file the lifting conditions. Then she explained when he will be able to apply for citizenship. 
          Then she said we were done and she would be approving and working on the paperwork to hopefully have the approval paperwork done this afternoon. She said we would get the green card within 90 days, but that it's usually much faster than that and gave us the number to call if we don't get it nearing the 90 day mark. 

    Overall, it was a great and easy experience and we are thrilled! Good luck to everyone still waiting we are rooting for you!

    All, our interview was scheduled today! Way sooner than expected (In Phoenix usually takes 18 months). Seems like we'll be getting the GC before the EAD.

    Anastasia's AOS interview was today, and we were recommended for approval. 😊
     
    Wasn't anything difficult; just the standard security questions, names and birthdates, how we met stuff, and one or two other things.

    Hi! Just a quick update, my EAD was approved on 09/19. The next day (09/20) the status changed to card being produced on the EAD, and the AP status changed to approved. Hope everyone will get their approvals soon!

    OMG! Randomly checked the case tracker app. EAD being produced and was approved 2 days ago. 
    Friday supposed to be the day my noa will show up but it moved backward. I reached out to USCIS to inquire about the incident and the possibility of filing a case inquiry and the tier 1 said they cannot do anything about it since it is within normal processing. 
    All along he knew it was approved already. What’s with this people.😭
