I called them today. They informed that they don't take any action until 30 after the interview. So, I have to wait another 2 weeks. I have never read of anyone not getting their card after the approved interview. But then again, I was also affected by a closed office due to inclement weather, so everything is possible.

Back to waiting.

2 weeks as of yesterday. Still no card, no letter.

What kind of action could I take? Call?

Looks like most October filers are done. I am still waiting ....

My interview experience is here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/299638-interview-completed-today-and-now/

I see that most folks got an approval letter within 5 days. Here I am in week 2 and I stare at my mailbox in vain every day.

Thanks everyone. I feel better now.

Yeah, I guess I understand that I am approved. I was just curious if others went through a similar drill. It seemed awkward walking out of there with nothing in my hand.

Our interview was today. It was really strange. The officer was not personable at all. But my question is this: was I supposed to receive a document that says I am approved? He never used the word 'approved'. After a row of questions and the request for evidence he made me sign a paper that explained the green card, how to remove conditions etc. He drew a line on it with an X and had me sign it. I was so nervous, I didn't even know what to say. He also kept my I-94 card after he had written on it. In the hall I asked him how long for the card, and he said 2-3 weeks. I assume I am approved but can someone confirm a similar experience? My online status still says Initial Review. That has never changed.

I am confused.

Congrats everyone. Its good to read the different interview experiences.

I am still waiting for a 2. interview notice. So unfair - to be in limbo because of weather.

At 9am I did get a person on the phone and they did confirm that the office is closed ( by that time the website was updated to Friday).

she said there is no use going there. My appointment will be rescheduled, I have to wait for another letter. I can't believe it, this has to happen to me. I hope they will reschedule soon. There were many offices closed today due to the weather.

Oh no, here it is 3 hours before my appointment and Dallas is covered in snow and the website shows my field office was closed yesterday so the chance they are closed today is even higher. I can't believe my bad luck. How will I reschedule the appointment when I get there and nobody is there? I already called the 800 number and ther is no person available to speak to.

Congratulations. That sounds great. Looks like it was really easy.

Mine is tomorrow. Soooooo nervous already.

Very helpful, thank you. I have not had much time to search this forum on feedback from others on their interview experience but are they really going to ask for all these copies?

Maxximus - are you getting ready for the interview? Yours is one day ahead of mine.

Have you made a million copies of everything already like me? I have a bag full of stuff. If they want to see something during the interview, it may take me 5 minutes alone just to locate it. I mean, in addition to originals of everything already submitted, they also want now recent stuff, like 2 months worth of paystubs. Crazy!

I wanted to ask what a certified copy of marriage license looks like? Is that similar to a notarized document?

Thanks,

Yes, I figured it out last night.

EAD card in the mail. But this is weird: the picture on the card is not the same I sent in with my application. It's me, thank goodness, but I have no idea when that picture was taken and were they got it from.

Received my AP on Saturday. 2 original copies. Wish they had arrived before Xmas so I could have crossed over to Mexico.

I don't seem to get any email alerts ahead of time. My letters simply arrive.

And was the violation for you as the one applying for the greencard, or your spouse?

Please share your interview experiences with us.

Well, either way. Congrats.

I also received my interview notice yesterday. so happy.

YESSSSS - Got my interview notice in the mail yesterday. Was still so frustrated yesterday all day and then this when I came home! They must have worked over the holidays! It was sent on the 29th. No EAD, no AP, nothing. No email notifications either. Online everything still says "Initial Review" Isn't that strange?

Kittyfang - Am I reading your timeline right? Your EAD was approved only 3 days after your Biometrics and you already have your interview appointment?

Thats seems fast ....

Happy New Year everyone. I am hoping for a good first month. I have not heard anything since my Biometrics.

Everything still shows "initial review".

NOTHING!!!!!!!! Every day I walk to my mailbox and am SOOOO dissapointed.

At least my AP could arrive so I can travel for xmas ......

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

There is no set time. Review this post and you will see that one person already has the letter, but most of us don't yet. Review some other timelines and you may get an idea. I would expect it in January, but that may not be the case for everyone.

I reviewed some timelines of September filers today and most seem to be moving along pretty fast. I saw several that had a interview notice 1.5 to 2 months after sending in their package. Thats can get me excited, but it could also make things worse in that I might expect the same happening for me, and if it doesn't, well, then big disspointment.

Like Maxximus said, this may really depend on the availability of the local office.

Lets just hope everything goes smoothly, even if it takes a little longer in some cases.

No way. That is awesome. So fast! That is motivating!
