I-130 approval notice recieved

[Lucille 0]

 Hi everyone. I am adjusting my status based on marriage. I recieved mail today from USCIS stating that, the I-130 have been approved. We had our interview on Jan. 22,2008 in which the IO didn't give us a clear answer weather our interview were approved.  I'm just confused because of what I have read here that mostly, people get their AOS approved but never heard of I-130 being approved.

Are you adjusting from a K-1 or a K-3 or some other visa type??

I have seen in some K-3 cases where I-129F is approved well before I-130, and the person enters the USA and files for AOS, the I-130 for the K-3 needs to be approved before AOS can be approved, the I-130 is what the AOS is based on.

K-1 visa holders dont have the I-130 approval process since one is never filed in K-1 cases.

Thanks for reply. I'm adjusting from B2 (tourist visa) . From what I read here people get approval on their AOS but never mentioned about I-130 approval which made me confused. I sent all my package on August 18,2008 and had my interview last week. I just hope that my AOS will be approved too.

Then you are not adjusting from a Family based visa, I will move this to "AOS from Visitor (B2), Work, or student visa" forum.

If you are approved for the I-130, the approval for the I-485 should be coming right behind.

I received an approval for the I-130. The I-485 cannot be approved without having the I-130 approved first.

So what did u guys talk about in the interview?... I'm guessing that if the questions were personal (about your marriage), then ur I-485 was being considered.

That happened to me too.... They told me that my I-130 was approved (not a word about the I485) and that soon I was going to be receiving "something" in the mail... well that something end up being (After a notice of Action) MY WELCOME LETTER! so.. It might work out in the same way for u

Faith!

 Hi Joysmith. Did you had your interview in Baltimore?  The officer didn't ask us a lot of questions,just asked us how we met and when did we decided to get married,she asked my husband if he still works for  DOL and we didn't have that much proof either, except that he had me as his life insurance beneficiary and few credit cards and our joint accnt and we brought pictures, we were told just to wait for approval I was worried about it yesterday, a friend of mine had interview in Baltimore almost a year now and have not gotten her GC and same thing  they told them to wait for approval To my surprised when I check my case online this morning it says " card production ordered" . I think even before the interview they know if they will approve you or not. Congratulations on your approval !
