    When was it approved? After December 20? If yes, I'd give it a little more time. There were at least 3 public holidays between December 20 and now. What's the online status? Also, do you have N-400 and upcoming interview? If yes, USCIS may never issue 10 year GC and you approve for citizenship instead.

     

    Dec 16 the status changed from new card to being produced,  and on Dec 17 it changed to case was approved. We received the letter in the mail about the case being approved Dec 23rd. No N-400 case at the moment.

    Congratulations!

     

    Did they ask for your medical exam sealed packet and do you have to take a new medical exam?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    We got a new medical done and handed in the sealed envelope as additional evidence. 

     

    My wife didn't complete the physical portion of the i129. The physician told her to check the box that says she prefers not to get the vaccines done and then get them done while she's here. Told her to do this because a) some vaccines take time and b) told her the medical is only good for a year anyway. 

     

    My wife got the physical done once we got the interview date. This included getting blood work done to test what vaccines she has and also getting some vaccines that she hasn't had in the past. 

     

    I can't find anything online other than the article you linked above. We have insurance and lucky for us all the medical work didn't cost us anything.

    Got approved today! Got to the office early, walked in 15 minutes before our appointment. 

     

    Got all checked in, waited maybe 5 minutes before the officer called us in. Swore an oath, he gave us a run down of what he was going to ask. 

     

    Asked about my wife's information, pretty much just verifying on the i485. Asked me my name and birthday,  if I've been to romania and when. 

     

    Then asked us to describe how we met. Then asked if we have anything else.

     

    Gave pictures, tax documents, 401k information with beneficiary notices and beneficiary notices on our separate bank accounts. 

     

    Told us the green card will be mailed and it typically takes 4-6 weeks. Told us about the restrictions on the green card and how to take them off after two years. Told us when she can apply for citizenship. And that was basically it.

     

    Got the new card is being produced update before we even got home.

    Got our letter today! Interview is schedule exactly a month from now! May 12th.

     

    We are excited but a bit nervous. Because of the pandemic we haven't really gone out at all in the last year. He was looking for remote work for awhile, but no luck, so decided to finish his degree online while we wait. We haven't had a chance to open a joint bank account at my banks because he didn't have his green card or California ID (since we would have to go in person to DMV for that). So we are a bit handicapped by that. We filed our taxes jointly though, and I have him as an authorized user on my CC. Hopefully it will go alright.

     

    Heres to wishing all our fellow Californians get something soon!

     

    We don't have a joint checking account but we are listed as beneficiary's on each others...everything. My wife is listed as an authorized user on a CC we opened up. And we are on our cell phone plan together. Our interview is tomorrow, have a lot of paperwork ready to go. Excited and nervous.

    So we had our interview today and everything went very well!

     

    Philadelphia Office

    We arrived a bit early and found parking on the street right outside and waited until about 15 minutes before our appointment to go in. They checked our IDs, letter and temperature and we went through a metal detector before being sent to the second floor to wait. We waited about 10 minutes only and had our interview essentially right at the time scheduled. 
     

    The IO was very neutral to us the whole time and somewhat strict but not mean. First we took an oath to tell the truth and then he went over the biography section of our I-485, first with my wife (beneficiary) and then with me. He then asked her what date she entered the US, when did we meet and how, what day we got married. He asked if I ever visited her in her home country, and did I visit her in the UK where she was living prior to immigrating here. I confirmed all our visits together. Next he asked her all the yes/no questions from the I-485 about criminal activity. 

     

    The only thing she had to explain was a denial for a visa that she applied for during our K1, as she applied for a tourist visa to visit me during the process that was denied because we had an in progress application. Then he asked if we had anything to add to our file, and we gave joint health care, dental insurance, car lease, car insurance, and credit card statements with our names on them, as well as our joint tax return. I recently started a new job so I gave them an employer letter and paystubs. We also gave about 10 pictures from all throughout last year. He filed through them all quite quickly and looked at them all but was kinda just checking the names it seemed. 

    He then asked if we had any questions and said he had to submit it for final checks and that almost always everything goes fine through those checks and we should get the card in the next few weeks. A couple hours later our status updated on the website to new card produced!

     

    All in all we maybe spent only 20-30 minutes inside the building from start to finish.

     

     

    Congrats and thank you for the philly review!
