I'm back from my interview. The immigration officer was super nice and tried her best to put me at ease about everything. We went through the basics of the application, added my new job to it and she asked a couple of the 'are you dangerous to the US' questions. She asked a couple questions about how we met and where we got married here and there during the interview. Then she asked if I brought anything new that I want to add to the file and I just handed her a folder with copies from bank accounts, bills etc for her to keep. She didn't really looked at it just told me she will add it to my file and that's it. The servers were down so she couldn't make the changes directly in the computer but said she aims for approving it today. Fingers crossed 😁 I'll definitely sleep good tonight.

yes, but bring a copy of everything you submitted for the 485. In case they ask, very often they dont. And the reason you need copies is so you dont have to hand them the originals

Thank you so much for all your well wishes and encouragement. 🙂 I can’t wait to see when you guys have your approval too. I know it may be a while as yet with Seattle’s processing times but who knows... worst case scenario at this rate you may skip ROC completely if you have been married 2 years by the time interview does come around. 
 
P.S Story of my life having nothing to worry about but yet worrying anyway! 😂😂 the joys of anxiety living. Gotta retrain my brain. 🙂
 
 
Awh that’s lovely. Our anniversary is 12/12 🙂 
 
good luck!! 

Hi,
Just wanted to tell that I had a very smooth AOS interview this Monday,  they only asked about normal things like where we were born,  about our job situation and a few questions about how we met and decided to get married. Didnt ask for any documents,  think it took 15 minutes in total (after the waiting time ofc)  
Half an hour after the interview my status online was updated to approved and today I was notified that my card is being sent to me! so  looks like things are moving again, at least more than I was expected from Miami office after checking their processing times😴
 
 Wish you all the best luck with your upcoming interviews! its gonna be fine!

Yeah congratulations 🥳🥳🥳 and that's why I wouldn't be mad to do my interview alone while Cody is deployed. He loves to talk and tell stories 😂😂😂

Best to wait until you have GC in hand.
 
Or you could try getting I-551 stamp in your passport at the interview if it's clear they approved you. Do note that getting I-551 stamp at interview is rare.

I've seen many getting their GC few days (week +) after the interview, I think you should wait a bit to get your GC then travel stress free. Best of luck for your interview and let us know how it goes !

Hi! I received the letter with my interview yesterday, scheduled for November 16th. Very happy to finally get here, specially since the processing times for Miami is saying 12 to 35 months right now.
 
I was planning to go to my home country a few days after that date, do any of you know if I will be fine travelling with my EAD  card even though the interview will change my status? (hopefully) , or any other kind of processing that might could happen after the interview? 
 
Hang in there !!
 
best, Ellen

Hey guys, after 12 days of “interview was scheduled” we received the letter in the mail today. October 19th, Honolulu. Home stretch! Let the documents and paperwork assembling  begin once again 😁 I’ll let you know how it went. 

That's so exiting!!

Thanks so much for the help! 🙌🏿💛

oh, I already got my card. I was just responding to  a question about how long it took for me to receive  the ssn. 😉
And youre right, if it doesnt show up youll need to re-apply. all the best! 

Got it) congrats!!!😀 

Yes, as long as you asked for it in the i-765(which I read you did) it should come on its own . Sometimes it doesnt, then you'll need to contact them directly.  But everything takes more time now- so it could take like in my case, several weeks

No, it comes separately! From the social security office. 

Oh wow. Ok, thank you! 

LOL, I don't know your voice but I read this in your voice. Thank You. we are looking out for our Card by next week 

One week! And they kept sending notes about everything,  like "your card was picked up at the uscia" and "your card was delivered in your mailbox today" 

You guys, what’s happening!!? Are we gonna get some interviews scheduled this week or what 😁🙏🌈🧡 Come on, let me hear some good news 😄

Today is a good day --> "New Card Is Being Produced"....18 days after my expedite was approved (and the day I was meant to hand in my notice at work). 

oh, I dont believe this! I faxed the proof for my expedited EAD this morning, and got the approval and "card is being produced" notice now this afternoon! I had a job offer, and wrote a very honest letter where I also informed them that my husband was back at work after being furloughed for a while. I also included their own green card processing information  from where I live which says 21-44 months, and that all I wanted was to start working, paying bills and taxes. I added a copy of our lease too. 

one question, The emails and the login page only shows the approval for the I-765, nothing about the I-131. Thats normal or what? Do they automatically include the AP?
 
I cant thank this group enough for inspiration to give it a try!
 
hope everybody gets good news soon!🤗
