We had an interview today in Sacramento, CA.

And yes, we are approved!!!!! What a long and hard journey it has been!

I still cannot believe that this is over. I keep asking my husband if the interviewer said we were approved. The interviewer said that I should be getting my green card in two weeks.

Here is the details of our interview:

We arrived about 30minutes early. We waited for a while, but I think we got called in earlier than our appointment time. (we forgot our watches...)

The interviewer first appeared unfriendly and made us nervous, but as we talked, he showed himself as a very nice person.

He looked through our file, asked me to say my name, address, phone number, SSN, etc.

He also asked a few questions about our relationship, and asked to see our photos.

Oh, and he asked if we have the same keys to our house with us today, and I didn't bring mine because my husband had his. That was a surprise question.

And he took my EAD and Advance Parole, and he asked us if we had any questions. And he said "ok, now I approve your case, and you should be getting your card in two weeks."

I think the whole interview took less than 15 minutes.

I want to thank VisaJourney and all of you for advice and support, and good luck to those who are still waiting.

Congratulations! It looks like you and your hubby have a similar timeline to mine. I just got approved for my EAD and AP so hopefully I will receive a letter requesting an interview soon.

Hi. My husband is in Karachi, Pakistan right now and we just found out that our file is "complete". They are now in the process of scheduling my husband's interview in Islamabad. We have been waiting for 2 years for him to get his visa. I don't know if you all know, but the rules have changed a tad bit. Does anyone know how long it will take for my hubby to get his interview date? Please advise :-/

Thanks

S

I am sorry, I don't think I can give you any advice.

I don't know what type of visa your husband is getting, and if it is a K-1 visa, I think it really depends on the embassy.

I hope you get helpful advice from someone else. Maybe you will have better luck if you start a new thread?

Good luck.

Yes, right after I had my biometrics taken, I received an interview notice. I even thought my EAD and AP weren't going to be approved before my interview.

But I think they expedited our case. My case didn't go so smooth, actually.

They lost our AOS packet once:

They even lost our K1 packet:

(This time, they didn't expedite our case)

But I don't care now! I got approved :)
