Combo card just came! I now have valid photo ID for my interview Feb 4th!!! 
🎉🎉🎉 

Guys, we received the approval letters yesterday! Just waiting for my green card in the mail. 😭🙌

4 or 5 days 

They typically schedule 5 to 6 weeks in advance. 
 
Normal mailing time for notice 

Dec 23rd I got "interview has been shceduled" I received the notice in the mail Dec 30th. 
My interview date Feb 4th. 
 
 

My wife's status for her I-485 was changed to "Interview was scheduled" today!
How long does it take to get the mail with the date and when do you all think it will be scheduled? (2 weeks, 2 months, etc.??)
I am asking because we already have a two week trip scheduled to go to the Philippines at the end of this month and hoping we will not have to reschedule the interview.
Thanks in advance!!!

Yeehee!! I just had my interview at Fresno field office and was approved after 2 hours. We are so happy that the interview was done. Good grief!! My supposed to be interview was November 21st and I had a call that it was rescheduled because my papers haven't arrived yet but still we drove 2 1/2 hrs to Fresno just to make sure that it wasn't a scam call. Finally, it's done!! Plus it was foggy drive today lol. 
 
@ashmed246 I had the same thing. I did my medical Dec 2018. The officer in my interview told me my vacc record sheet is already expired but he said it's okay because I submitted a copy when AOS packet was sent before it expires.

Hi guys!
 
I just wanna come on here on this thread (May 2019 AOS FILERS) to THANK everyone who helped me through this journey.  I am really grateful to every person who answered my questions and those people who shared their experiences. Really Learned A Lot, just by reading people's posts everyday.  Yesterday was my interview and got APPROVED with flying colors, no RFE's.  I can't even begin to describe how happy and still shock I am.  I can't believe I'm done of all these overthinking and worrying shizzzz. 
 
I'm wishing and praying to all of you who are still waiting that may good news will come your way very SOON!
 
Here's my tracker:
 

It's difficult to take your questions seriously, but I'll try.
1) A general draft is unlikely
2) If you don't want to defend your country, don't become its citizen 

If you are unwilling to fight for this country in a time of need then stay home.  Sorry but there is a price we all pay, and some have paid that price already, to be citizen of this Great Country.   

As you were over the age of 26 and were not required to register for Selective Service, it would be unlikely you'd be called up to a draft, in the rare event we ever had one again. Even still, conscientious objectors are a thing, and after you present your case for review, and accepted as such your duties would not be fighting, certainly.
 
If this is something that is still a problem for you then I guess US Citizenship is not for you.

First off if you are not willing to join up and serve even as a conscientious objector then why did you decide for U.S. Citizenship, and why are you here? 
 
Also you can still get called up and serve if there is a big war. Just because you have no military training doesn't affect that.

I am from Pakistan and I have been in A.P for around 5 moths. The Visa is not been issued yet, its is on A.P and US Islamabad Embassy is very strict background and security check. Read the below link.

In your case the good thing is your husband has no international travel history and thats the good sign. I have seen man cases in Pakistan US Embassy that CO has said your case has been approved but they stuck in horrible A.P for months. I have also the international travel thats why I was put in A.P for 5 months.
 
I hope your visa will get issued soon, Good Luck
 
 
 
 

Not sure if satire or serious. If serious, this is some of the most reckless advice I've ever seen on this website.

Not true at all.....you should read more.....you are spreading misinformation.   Pakistan is known for extended administrative processing after the CO says "approved".  There are also cases which ended in denials after the CO said "approved".

Is that a joke?  That is not good advice at all....it's reckless, in fact......In Pakistan, Extended Administrative Processing can last for months or years.........or it could be denied after admin processing.........

I think Houston is about a month behind Dallas. Dallas is working on May now. Our status changed on Friday to "Interview was Scheduled". We should be receiving our letter with the date for our interview by end of this week.

Hi! Unfortunately mine is still “case is ready to be scheduled” but I have combo card already. Filed 3rd week of May. I was hoping to get GC before my combo card expires so I don’t have to renew it but I think processing time is 14-21 months which is lame!!! Hahaha.

This one is  right out of the text book..... you prolly met him on your first trip and you stayed longer on your second visit .Actually you stayed 6 months....nobody stays 6 months away from work or business back at home...even if you owned the business or you on some serious vacation you went back only after a short time and stayed 5 months ...You see the thing is that when you get a visa ....you are watched and this time , their reasonable guess is that you will go back and either marry and leave  or marry and stay back ....they are not willing to have you do any of that so they decided to cancel it. ...if you ask me it should not be a big deal since you have a fiance. If you guys hurry with the K1 you might still get married this year in the states and this time you can stay back in the states which is not a bad deal....Good luck

He will need to do the visiting.

I see 3 possible reasons.

Yes you’re right it is absolutely not the case. Being married to a US citizen doesn’t outright grant anyone permission to stay or live in the US. The only way to get permission to live in the US is by applying for a visa. You also can’t come to the US with intent to stay or adjust status, you must apply for a visa abroad. You can visit your husband throughout the process (as long as you don’t abuse your visitor privileges and as long as the CBP officer allows you to) and he can visit you but you can’t come and stay with plans to adjust status as that would be visa fraud and can actually get you banned for life if it’s found out (and they will find out). So, the safest and most sensible thing to do, is stay in Canada, go the IR1 visa route, have your interview in Montreal, and then move to the US once you’ve got your visa. Yes you will have to spend quite a bit of time apart from each other (you can’t come and “live” in the US for 6 months at a time, especially when they know you have a spouse in the US and are trying to get a visa, they just won’t allow that), but many many many of us do it and it is possible 

You are 19. Sorry, but you're basically a kid. I met my fiance when he was 20 and he was in no way, shape or form ready to do much more than finish his degree program and play a LOT of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. He wasn't ready to get married back then -- he still was figuring out who he was and what he wanted from life. I obviously don't know you, but I guess you probably are still figuring out who YOU are too. That is fine! That is what we are supposed to do when we're very young. Getting married is a HUGE step for someone as young as you are, let alone all the red flags that you have. 
 
I say this out of kindness: you barely know this woman. You barely know her, you do not know her culture, you do not know her likes and dislikes very fully, you do not know the complexity of her hopes and dreams yet -- just as you do not know all of your own. Give it time. Love is amazingly forgiving if you tend it and cultivate it like a beautiful flower -- give it space to grow and flourish. Feed it with kindness and restraint. Do not crowd it, do not force it to blossom. 
 
Please think carefully on what it is you aim to do. Marriage is an act of love, but it is also an act of sacrifice. Are you completely sure you are ready to give what is required? 

Best idea I can think of is for her to move to Tunisia to live with you there for a few years before petitioning you to come to the US.
