Cheers mate - much appreciated!

Passed my driving test today and got a temporary State Driving License for now. Hopefully the card comes in the post in a couple of weeks

Got a notification yesterday to say that the card has been produced

Yes it said that on my notice as well so I think it is a generic statement for everyone

They don't give you the documents from the sealed K1 package back at POE

As @MalloryCat says it depends on the state. In California I needed my EAD in order to apply for a State Driving License

I was advised to go to the SSA office about 2 weeks after travelling here when applying for the SSN just to allow time for the immigration and SSA systems to correspond with each other (that was my understanding anyway).

It took me about 3 weeks to receive mine and I was told to contact them if it had been more than 4 weeks

Also in terms of appointments keep checking the site as dates and times will become available at some point. I struggled to get an appointment initially until I finally managed to book an appointment (I checked regularly as well). There ended up being about 6 weeks between my medical and my interview at the embassy.

I can’t say for the Montreal embassy but with the London embassy my NOA2 had expired but I brought a signed letter of intent each from me and my now wife with me to the interview which re validated the notice/petition as @Edward and Jaycel mentioned. There were no issues regarding this. I would advise you to bring signed letters of intent from you both.

I just kept the same phone (as my phone is dual SIM compatible) and then got added to my father in laws family plan with AT&T and got a US SIM for it

About a month and a half after filing the AOS application

No problem mate - happy to do so!

Congrats mate! So happy for you and Jaycel!

I also received the approval notification exactly 1 year after I joined VJ as well!

Thank you!

Cheers mate - thank you for your help and support during the process as well!

Cheers for the fun fact but I knew that already

I had my AOS interview yesterday. We got there about 30 minutes before my scheduled appointment time and went in 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment time so I could check in and go through security and sit in the waiting area until our number was called out by the ISO interviewing us. When our number was called out we then followed the ISO to one of the interview rooms. The interview was about 10-15 minutes and the ISO was polite and friendly. They took my photo and my fingerprints and then asked us some relationship questions (some of them listed below) and then some Yes/No questions. How did you meet? When did you first meet in person? When did you move here? When did you get married? At the end she informally said I would be approved and gave me a piece of paper that said my case was in review but she said they give that to everyone as I believe the cases have to be approved and signed off by a supervisor. Then she said any changes to the case would show about 24 hours after it gets approved. This morning I got the notification on my USCIS online account confirming that the case was approved! So happy! I hope that everyone receives positive news soon regarding their cases soon!
