We didn't add any personal pictures for the evidence. I'm sure that the deed and insurance cards, bank statements, are enough. Last interview I made a book with pictures and the interviewer didn't even flip through it. I'll bring our wedding picture books to the interview if we have one.

I just mailed out our paperwork today to CSC
-
I got my green card in the mail today and the welcome paper as well!!!
-
to everybody who received interview letters, card producation notices and the physical green card. 
Sorry for my extra loooong absence, finished my CNA class, passed the state exam... but I was not accepted in the nursing program for this year, I still need to take all those anatomy and physiology classes in advance to raise up my points for qualification next year... but all is well, after the crying was the realization that I don't really want to be a nurse anyway and since I have already conditioned myself that I am going to take Anatomy and Physiology this year, I might as well do it as prerequisite course for Occupational Therapy which is what I really wanted to do in the first place. So I will be taking prereqs for Occupational Therapy concurrently with Therapeutic Massage (just got accepted in that program which is more of a medical massage)... I will have my hands full this coming fall but I am sooo excited.
good luck to you! it sounds really exciting and interesting.
-
I called them and they will send a request to get that mail again. Hopefully it won't delay anything! grrr

I have received everything so far. What is wrong with them??? cant they do anything right???
so i tried to call but of course i didnt have the date of when i first submitted my I485 to them because im at work so they wouldnt do anything! grrr
-
i also got the stamp the other day! just like LeaandBen (whose interview is alo in seattle), the card itself would be sent a little bit longer than usual because of the changes.
the very next day after my approval, we went to canada to celebrate! during our return to the us, the customs officer teased me, "they let you go to canada just because you're an lpr now? so now i have to let you back in?"
haha fun!
congrats!!

Everything went so well. We arrived sometime before 2pm for a 2.30 appointment. The lady that seemed the nicest (and the one we hoped to get) called my name at 2.40pm.
We had to swear ourselves in and sit. She explained how the interview was going to proceed and then started. She first asked the mandatory questions: name, birth, address, etc...
Her first question regarding our relationship was about how we met which she asked directly to me (the alien) but my husband contributed the details. It seemed to be going pretty well.
Frankly, after that question, there weren't many others. We started talking about local life and events and places to visit; and while we were still talking she stamped my passport in approval.
She said it would take from 1 to 2 months to get the green card in the mail but in the meantime the stamp in my passport would suffice for any travel and proof of residency (the stamp itself is valid for a year). Apparently the 1 to 2 months wait is due to a change of policy and machine equipment for printing.
And that was it!
Strangely enough it lasted about 40 minutes but only because we were talking about beer.

We have our interview in Seattle on thursday and I haven't prepared anything yet. I know I will be doing this last minute on thursday morning.
We don't have any physical pictures. I have everything on my external hard drive. Do you think I need to go print some pics out? When I submitted our file I just printed some pics with our home printer. Is that okay to just bring the same on a regular A4 sheet of paper. We also have a printed book of pictures together but that was before getting married. Should I bring that with us?
-
oh what a relief Tiggles!!
As I read your story I felt pain. I hope my interviewer won't be as harsh on us. But since you got a good news at the end... well congrats!

finally I get some online case status update! I never had any!

Hey guys i received everything in the mail today. 10 Yr GC, Welcome letter and I 130 Approval. I filed my forms on my own and was greatful for this site and thank God i had a smooth Journey from the date i mailed the forms Jan16th 2009 - May 11th 2009 the day i received my card.
Goodluck to everyone else.
Have faith in God!!!!
oh wow! you got 10 yr GC, how come others get 2 yr GC only?
Hi shes
I received a 10 yr greencard cause i've been married since 2006. You get the 10 yr gc when you have been married over 2 yrs.
what I dont understand is how come you file 2 years after getting married? how did you do all this time? weren't you scared of being illegal or not being able to work for 2 years and all that?
-
I think we should all come back in 2 years to go through the removal of conditions together!! lol
-
thanks for talking about this. I had no idea.

Hi guys, today I had my interview at 26 Federal Plaza, NYC. We were scheduled for 2:30 so my husband and I decided to get there long before time just in case of any delays in the subway. We got there about 12:35 and walked around a bit before going inside the building, where we had to take off our shoes and place all our belongings in a tray for scanning. We were allowed to take our cell phone with us but not allowed to use it. We got to the waiting room about 1:25pm where about 5 couples already seated. We went to the appointment window and gave the lady seated there our interview letter and were told to sit a while and wait for our names to be called. About 5 more couples and their lawyers came after us. As we sat waiting we noticed that all the couples were being called and we were still seated; even those who came after us were called in and interviewed. We also noticed that each interview took almost an hour and I became quite concerned when I saw that it was four o clock and we were the only couple in the room.
About five minutes later a middle aged lady came to the door with another couple that she apparently just finished interviewing and call my name. She was pleasant and took us down a long hallway to her office where she swore us in.
She then told me to take out every original document I had with me including photographs. She then proceeded to ask questions based on the G-325A. As she asked me about where I lived I realized that she was doubting my answers as she couldn't find the answers I was giving her on the G-325A. She was stating incorrect dates and had missing information and it was then that I realized she was making notes on what seemed to be my husband's G-325A. I told her that she was using the incorrect G-325A to which she apologized and searched for mine.
She then asked my husband my birth date, where we met, how long we were dating before marriage, if he knew my parents and if they were at the wedding and why not, what is my favorite food and if he knew my family members and how many brothers and sisters I have. She asked him about his past marriage and why he got a divorce.
She asked me how many children my husband has to which I responded that they were all grown and he has three. She also asked me why I took so long to get at a divorce from my husband and I told her that we were separated for 14 years and had moved on with our lives, furthermore I was not interested in getting married until I met Stan. She asked if I have ever met Stan's parents to which I answered that they were deceased and she asked me what age was my husband when they passed. I told her I didn't know. Now these people died when I was 10 yrs old and I wasn't in a frame of mind to be calculating how old Stan was when they died. They didn't die together so I was not going to be racking my brain as to how old my husband was because they died in the 70's, so I told her I do not know how old he was. She asked me how long I lived at each address stated on the G-325A and why did we move to our last address ( stupid question) I told her the place was too small. She asked me what is my telephone number and my last address and when I told her address she proceeded to tell me that it was incorrect. I found out that she was looking at the Landlord's address with the big word LANDLORD written beside it. I had to point out her mistake yet again to which she apologize again - where do they get these quacks from? She then made a note of our address. She truly sounded confused.
So as not to bore you with all the nonsense that went on let me cut to the chase. She asked my husband if he was employed and he responded that he was receiving monthly pension and social security. She told us that we might need a sponsor as she didn't not know if that would be considered usable income. I told her that the amount is well above the poverty guideline but she said that she had to make sure it was ok to approve that type of income as affidavit of support. I read somewhere in the USCIS site that pensioners can use their income. I thought that as it was SURE income then that would not be up for question but she didn't seem to know for sure. She then asked me to give her the copies of our birth certificate, passport, social security card, lease, pension, will, joint lease etc and she looked at my EAD.
She finally asked me all the questions on the application to which I answered "No" or "definitely not" then she wrote on my I-94 and took some pictures from my album, wrote in my passport " the date of the interview, my A #, her office room #., 485 pending/sec 245 and something that looked like ISO CONDIT". She told me that after she reviewed the documents she will make a decsion and let us know if she needed more evidence, if we were approved or denied. To which I I made sure to inform her that we have been married for 2 years.
I am truly disappointed at having an IO who seemed to be confused about the requirements of the USCIS and who made so many mistakes to which I had to be correcting her and asked some real dumb questions. I might as well be doing her job. We had every bit of document to support our relationship, she just wasn't doing her job well. I hope that everything will be okay and that I receive my welcome letter soon. This has been a horrible experience. I am sure there were more questions but I am too frustrated to think right now.
wow it really seems like she was having a rough day, or maybe she was just stupid not to look before asking questions...
I hope that everything will be alright and that you will get your welcome letter soon. Since you've been married 2 years, shouldnt you get the 10 year green card?
-
Got my green card in teh mail over the weekend!! Before we filed I'd read this was going to take 6 mths plus but only 3 1/2 mths after filing I'm all done with USCIS until 2019......
Good luck to those still waiting.
how come you got the 10 years greencard? did you file from a fiance visa?

thats my name format, as u can see, the "DELA" is the start of my middle name..and the last 7 x's are the numbers of my last name w/c is my married name. so is yours somewhat like mine? im curious cus if your name fitted in the box then mine should as well
I have one first name, 2 middle names, and two last names hyphenated.
It fits like that on the card so basically you have one more name than mine, probably why they couldnt fit them all

So I received the congratulations letter that said I should get my green card within 60 days but I opened another mail and there it was!! That's it, I'm done for a good long time. Is anybody here going for citizenship? I will but in a while because it's another 600$ to spend.
