New to the board. I have my AOS interview tomorrow. I will post how it went.

So happy for all those getting approved in interviews and those getting green cards with/without interviews. Its great to see the November filers moving on after this episode of waiting....

For those who are still waiting, keep the faith. You will have the results soon.

As for us, we got the welcome letter a coupla days back. Just waiting for the card now.

Also looking for a job now. Man, the economy really sucks for my kinda job though. I guess it'll be another wait until I get a job....

Good luck to all though!! :)

i also received my green card today. can't believe it's over... for about 2 years, that is . it feels weird... so much worrying and preparing, all those sleepless nights - and i got my happy end now.

i wanted to thank everyone here for the support! without you guys it would have been so much harder.

and i'm sure the rest of you will get your approvals very soon, especially all the people who got transfered to CSC don't give up hope!

KPC, sorry to hear it takes longer for you than for me. but i'm sure the waiting will have an end soon - you had a very positive interview, right? they're just being a bit lazy :innocent:

Yeah, I thought we had a positive interview! He just said "I have 60 days to give you a decision, but I don't think it'll take that long..this was an easy one." I suppose "easy" could imply that we were an easy denial, but we haven't gotten a notice for a second interview (and I hear those usually come about a week after the initial interview), so perhaps they are just being lazy. We'll see! Thanks for the positive vibes though, and congrats on getting your green card!!

5-13-09: Green card approved.

6-24-09: Received green card.

8-13-11: Received 10-year green card.

2-21-12: Sent N-400 to Dallas Lock box.

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing great. We had our AOS interview on the 26th of March and were told we are approved. The officer also gave us (me and my wife) the white approval letter and told me to file for removing conditions in two years. My question is how long does the welcome letter and subsequent green card take to arrive in the mail. What is the expected waiting time? Also my I-485 account online still has not been updated and last update still shows somewhere in Dec 08. Btw the officer said I should get my Green Card from between 2-6 weeks and said it usually takes 2 weeks. Thanks a lot everyone and have a great day.
