look up your 485 case number and then look at the body of the notice where the card was delivered and you will see the tracking number...   click on that and see what it says.    Good luck!!!     They will figure this out quick.

We were just approved.   The interview was a good experience.   He went over the 485 application in detail to review all answers.  He then asked how we met and how many times we saw each other before Junior came to the US.    All of our documents were provided with the application so he didn't take any documents from us except he did keep the copies of pictures we took to the interview for support.     He asked me if my income had changed from when I submitted the Aff of support...   I said no.  He did not ask for a current tax return document which I was surprised.     
 
Interview was scheduled at 10:30 and we are back home at 12:00.    So the interview process only took about an hour and a half.   
 
The officer was funny and easy going which was a good experience.     The other officers that were coming to get others seemed to be professional and not rude. 
 
In all, a very good experience.   
 
He did say that the mailing of the Green Card is more than likely going to be delayed.  He mentioned it could take one to two months to arrive.   He said, if we haven't received in within 4 weeks, to call and ask for the tracking number.    He did say, to make sure we didn't book travel until we received the card so that there wouldn't be any issues of travel date approaching and not having the card in hand.     I asked him if there was a stamp for the passport and he said that they were not stamping the passport any longer unless the card was lost in the mail.    So don't expect that the passport will be stamped at the interview for travel.  
 
Much luck to you guys!!!  

Good luck Whiterose!!
 
Question for others who have received their GC already.   Our status changed to New Card is being Produced this morning.   How long is it taking currently to receive card in hand after this status is shown?

Our’s is on 2/23rd as well!   I hope they aren’t canceled...   they shouldn’t be as the weather will be fine next week.

We got our interview notice in the mail today which is 7 days from when the status changed to interview scheduled.   Today is 1/23 and the interview is scheduled on 2/23...   one month out. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻...   very exciting.

Very excited today...    we received notification our interview is scheduled...    we filed the 485 on 1/14/2020 with a NOA date of 1/17/2020.   Notification of interview scheduled on 1/15/2021...   almost exactly one year later.    Based on other timelines, I was expecting it to be around 1/31 so this is a nice surprise this morning!!    Hopefully this helps others with timing.  :-)).    Actual interview should be around 2/15 or so.

Just show the love and commitment you have as spouses and you will be just fine...   let us know how it goes...  much luck and a good experience to you!!! 

Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾. Can you expedite the interview?   I didn’t think that was possible.

I did some analytics on 3000 case numbers before mine.   Mine which was submitted around 1/15.    Of the 3000 prior cases, there were 500 485 applications.   Of the 500 485 applications, 3 were approved in April and 13 interviews were scheduled in July.    Others are waiting for interviews to be scheduled.     Hope this helps...   a little action.

Once you have a SS number, you can be added as an authorized user of your spouses credit cards and immediately start getting credit based on the payment history and metrics of their cards.    We did that and now I have a 775 credit profile which is really good.     With that score it is easier to apply for my own credit card if I wanted one and buy jointly....   house or car.

We did receive the combo card a few weeks ago thankfully 😅 but we are afraid to travel to Brazil with it.

I would send USCIS a letter explaining that the SS department wants you to mail them the Card and ask them if there is anyway they can order the SS number from their side given the covid circumstances.    They should be able to submit tue request from there side and save the risk.    Or call them and discuss what they can do from their side as if you would have checked the box originally. 

Have you guys heard anyone not being allowed to enter with an Advanced Parole?
