I had my interview today, in the Federal Building in NYC. The officer was very friendly. He asked how we met, asked to give him photos and other evidence, then asked whether I had worked as a prostitute in the past ten years, whether I was a communist, guilty of genocide, and planning to overthrow the US government (hard to not crack a joke at that one). He pretty much said that there were no problems and that I was going to be approved. It wasn't clear to me whether my application was approved on the spot-- he did say I was going to be approved as he saw no problems and when I asked if there was any way to be approved after our wedding date to avoid having to file for removal of conditions (our two-year anniversary is in July) he said he could not do that and that I was going to get a conditional green card in the mail in 4-6 weeks. At the end, the officer hand wrote my alien no., today's date, his initials and something with "pending" in my passport but didn't stamp it and although he took my I-94 he didn't take my AP or EAD cards. I'll ask the forum community at large whether anybody knows what that means. He recommended that I don't travel until I have the green card but I figure that between his notes in my passport, the AP and my H-1B I should be able to re-enter without consequences. I guess I'll still have to wait in the slow tourist line on JFK though-- just one last time!

I hope there will be approvals and interview notices soon for everyone who is waiting. I'll definitely keep checking in!

Congrats Darkhorse-- it's a good day for the Dutch! Enjoy it while it lasts because I am afraid that next week won't be so great for our country (for those of you who don't follow this: the European Championship soccer is about to begin and the Netherlands is in the so-called "group of death" with Italy and France...).

CONGRATS darkhorse and carpe diem that is wonderful news for both of you. Go out and celebrate tonight.

I am sure you will get it in the mail and maybe no updates by CRIS which isn't unusual. I am hoping for you.

Hey Everyone!

Long time no talk. The last time you heard from me, I was mourning our interview cancellation notice, and trying to figure out what to do.

Well, we never got a rescheduling notice, so we went to the originally scheduled, though "cancelled," interview today just to try and see what would happen. We decided that we would not mention the cancellation notice unless directly asked about it.

Needless to say, they called my wife's name after about 1 hour, and everything went as if there had never been a cancellation notice in the first place. My wife was approved on the spot, and walked out of there with the I-551 stamp in her passport.

The lesson - THE CANCELLATION NOTICE MEANS NOTHING, AND YOU SHOULD GO TO THE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED INTERVIEW ANYWAY. You were all right!!! Thanks everyone for their golden advice.

The USCIS website has already updated her I-485 to card production ordered.

What a great day!!!!

Yeah, I'm thinking that I may not get an email at all. They don't always seem too good about the online updates. Here's hoping a nice approval letter makes its way into my mailbox soon.

CONGRATS ahebl that is wonderful news for you and your wife. I hope you celebrated afterwards.

That's amazing! So glad you went and that you were kind enough to report the success so that other could benefit. CONGRATULATIONS!
