Hey guys,
My Green Card finally arrived today! The letter is dated 4/24/09 and it arrived 5/2/09. Hope everyone else's wait is soon over.

I got approved today at the Phoenix office! The whole interview lasted less than 10 minutes, the officer just looked at our photos. She also asked how we met, and how many times I've been to the US. Overall, it was easy peesie, good luck to everyone else.
Congrats andiste08 . Is that all that they asked you; no evidence, no tax documents etc? I hope mine will be just like yours.
Thanks kcoyclay1! Yep, that's all they asked me. The tax documents were already submitted with the application, and there wasn't any problems with it. So all they wanted to see was my photos. I photocopied everything before the interview, and they didn't even need to see any of it! The staff are very nice and friendly at the Phoenix office, it's really laid back.

My EAD arrived today, took 66 days for approval. Now I'm just looking forward to that wonderful AOS interview. I think smart casual is the way to go, such as a nice pair of trousers and a buttoned down shirt with jumper. I don't think a tie is necessary! Good luck to those who are having interviews.

Hello everyone
I sent in my AOS/EAD/AP on the 27th of January 2009. I had my biometrics appointment on the 21st of February 2009 and I now have my AOS interview on the 20th of April. Fingers crossed everything will go smoothly.

SMS delivered my visa this morning, it was issued on the same day as my interview, the 10th of November. Also got a giant envelope that's to only be opened by an Immigration Officer or a Public Health Officer.

I got approved too woo hoo
where in the waiting room were you stevo? what was your number lol i was 5019! Congratulations
Congrats Stuart! I was number 5003.. I got there at 7:30am this morning. The whole process only took around 1.5 hours, did you have to wait a long time? By the time I left, the embassy was pretty crowded.
what time was your actuall appointment? mine was 10am so I got there at 9am and didn't leave til about 2pm lol although they did have problems with the computer when they were doing me! so to speak.
I don't care tho if it took all day, I wasn't leaving til they said the magic words "you're approved"
Congratulations again
Stuart
My appointment was at 8am! I had to leave my house at 6:30am, which I haven't done since I was 17.. haha. I got in to the embassy at around 8am, and left just before 10am. At the first part of my appointment, the computer wouldn't work as well. Had to grab everything and go from cubical 01 to 14, stopping of at 12 to pay the fees. What did you think of the giant envelope with the x-rays? It raised a few eyebrows when I sat down to wait for the interview. Maybe the onlookers thought I was a special agent? Well, probably not lol. I was trying to look out for you, but I couldn't recognise you from your forum picture. Congrats too, I agree, the words "you're approved" are worth any amount of time.

I had my medical today, total time was around 25 minutes. Very quick and efficient, and no problems at all. I'll write a more detailed account soon. Also I didn't need to have the Tdap vaccine, the normal Td vaccine was enough.

Hmmm, what colour.. maybe black? A bit boring.. but it suits my metal lovin' Thanks Stevi for the congrats!

I'm doing a final check and now I'm totally confused
In Packet 3 I was told to complete and return the DS-230 and the DS-156 forms. I completed the DS-230 by hand and did the DS-156 on the computer, printed two copies and mailed everything back. I also completed the enclosed DS-156K but didn't sign it and kept it.
Now, at the bottom of the cover letter of Packet 4, they say "All DS-156 forms are required in an electronically completed format in English. Forms may be downloaded at: http://evisaforms.state.gov Print the entire form including the bar code in duplicate." Uh... why is that there? I already did that and they have it. Does this mean I have to do it again? Am I missing something? When they say "All DS-156 forms" do they include the DS-156K in there? Does this mean that there's an electronic version of the DS-156K somewhere and I'm too stupid to find it?
Help, I'm getting totally confused here and I've got a big headache now
Hi Pandora, you can actually fill in DS-156k by typing the answers into each individual box. I'm pretty sure this works with the most recent Adobe Reader. Unfortunately you can't save it afterwards, so you'll need to print it off right away.

DOS can answer all your questions, such as when the Embassy has received your information, when packet 3 was sent out, and when your interview is.

remove the _ between family and basedimmigration and the link should work
I couldn't get this to work!
Stuart n Courtney, I'll pm you the correct link to that site.
Ok, I'll just send in the older version of IV-15, thankyou everyone for your responses and help.

Hehe, thanks again payxibka, but unfortunately, the IV-15 links to a HTML document, and not the actual PDF form I need. It's unfortunate, but they don't allow you to download it directly from the embassy's website. Does anyone have a recent scan of their IV-15? It would be very much appreciated.
Stevo
How different is the .pdf that was 2006 and the requirements listed on the html? probably not much if any
Not entirely sure, probably not much different at all. However, I'm concerned the embassy will notice it's dated to a different date to which they sent me. I'm not sure whether IV-15 become obsolete, but as every form has a date on the bottom, I'd imagine so.

Hello everyone
The embassy posted my packet 3 on the 29th of September, well it's now the 9th October, and I think it's been misplaced in the post! Does anyone at all have a scanned copy of their IV-15 checklist? I already have my NVC case number, and have filled out all the other forms. I really don't want to be delayed anymore. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi The Dip Sticks,
You can call DOS (Department of State), and they can let you know where your case is at, and when/if the embassy has posted packet 3 to you.
Hope this helps,
Stevo
After NVC sends the case to the London embassy how long does it take to get packet 3 from them? Also does the NOA2 mean that we have to have packet 3 back to them before the expiery date that is on the NOA2? Is there an email or phone where we can follow up on our case once NVC has sent it to the emabssy? Just wondering when that packet 3 will arrive. -
Woah!
NichNick, can I also get a copy as well?
Thanks in advance,
Stevo

Hello fellow Brits,
I sent in my AOS on the 23rd of January. I received my EAD/AP 66 days after filling and recieved my Greencard yesterday! And to top it all off, the mighty red devils are on course for another league title. Brilliant.
