Okay - so my interview was this morning at 9:00am (Federal Plaza, NY). My attorney and I went in and I was called in within 10 minutes. The officer was very nice. She only asked for my passport(s), original birth certificate, tax transcripts. She asked me the questions on the form and then walked us back to the waiting area. She had to check if all the background checks had been completed. Ten minutes later, we were back in her office. There was a problem - my ex-husband - he had written to them...anyway, she asked me if I had orders of protection - I handed her the originals and copies. She asked me if my ex had ever threatened to do anything if I filed a self-petition - I told her that I hadn't spoken to him since 2006 (not directly anyway - through various attorneys). I let her know that when my original interview was postponed, Garden City had mistakenly informed the immigration attorney that was on my file at the time - that attorney is a close family friend of my ex. Therefore, he was notified that I was filing my self-petition. Then she said she would be right back. She came back a couple minutes later with the lockbox with the stamp and she stamped my passport. I should have the card in about three weeks.

I AM A LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT!!!

Many congratulations and welcome!

Thanks...BUT...because it was DV and he is a USC, I can file in 2 years and 9 months even though I am no longer married.

And thanks to everyone who responded to this thread. I will still be around...
