First , CONGRATULATIONS !!

I am glad that you described the interview , we went two weeks ago  and  have been separated in very elegant manner . The IO let my wife to the restricted area then stepped between us and asked me to stay in the waiting room .

Nice and effective trick .  I have had no problem with it , but surprised me . 

The rest of the interview was productive and really decent , no complaints at all . I understand that they have to make sure there is no abuse , so I did answer all questions without problem .

The IO was friendly , but sometimes inserted a question . 

The main reason I responded to your topic , is that when I asked other people on this web to tell me how the interview looks like , they did not bother to say anything , like I was asking so much . 

I understand that every IO conducts it differently , but  if some one asked me , I would normally answer that . 

So , I do appreciate your description , even it is already after our interview.  Maybe us , coming from the Slavic countries , we are more warm and friendly. ::))

The interesting thing is , that we got completely different document at the interview, but I do not need to leave ASAP . BTW , the card came exactly one week after the interview .

Hello everybody, natural lurker here to share some information that might be helpful to the lovely community here.

We submitted our i-485 in mid to late September 2018 after our court marriage in early September. We are based in Los Angeles and just finished our Green Card interview this very morning (3/6/19, 5 month turnaround) at the San Bernardino USCIS Field Office. We are very happy to announce that they approved us on the spot and the case is updated to show that our Green Card is now being produced. 

Although having applied for the AP/EAD card, there has been absolutely zero progress on that front... but we're relieved to know that we are finally finished with this long journey for now. So the absolute first thing I did after getting the news was to check for flight tickets to send my wife back to her family. So I do want to ask if it will be safe enough to go ahead and book it now before the card arrives. I'm looking to book 2-3 weeks out, judging on some of the timelines I've seen around here. The officer did say it might take up to 30 days, but regardless we feel blessed to have such a quick turnaround.

Much love to everyone in this community, I wish everyone the best of luck on their AOS!

Congrats !   I am glad it goes so quickly here in SB .
