Congrats to everyone getting cards, approvals and interview letters. It's great to see people getting good news!!!!

We go for our interview next week and I'm so excited, not nervous just really excited to almost be done (for a little while) with this!!

And last week we celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary!!!

Congrats! and good luck, just think soon you will have your greencard in your hands.. if I sound jealous it is because I am

Yes, congratulations to all who are continuing to receive interview dates or their Green Cards !!!

Some cases do seem to lag behind others, but looking at similar threads from a year ago, even those who were most delayed and most anxious, seemed to do just fine, within a few days or weeks of their most recent #######, post !! So to those of you who are still waiting, your time WILL come !!!

Glad to see there's a lot of good news in here! We've been on vacation for the past 2 weeks but in that time our card production was ordered and approval notice was sent! Well on our way .

Congratulations on all the approvals and interview dates letters!

I was visiting my family and friends for the last 3 weeks, and just came back home last night.

Sadly, we have no updates or touches since almost a month ago! Hopefully August will bring a nice surprise

We had our interview this morning. We arrived at about 7:25 and was called at about 8:30, for our 8:00 interview. We were sworn in by the IO and sat down. She confirmed what was on the I-485 with my DH and asked for current pay stubs and 2008 tax return. She asked my husband one question, how did he propose to me and me three questions. First, how did you like your husband's country, how did you survive being separated for your first year of marriage and how have your children adjusted since your husband has been home. Then she said, your application is approved. Your GC should arrive within the next 4 weeks. She remind us that it is a 10 year green card and that he can apply for citizenship in July 2012! I did manage to show her some photos when talking otherwise she did not seem interested in them or any other evidence we had with us. Now we just wait for the GC to arrive in the mail.

On another note, she did not give us a letter of approval or stamp my husband's passport she said it was not necessary. I know each office does things slightly different, but wondering if that happened to anyone else. I was thinking maybe because my husband's visa is multi entry it would not be necessary, but doesn't he need to have the PR stamp in his passport to travel? Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks Everyone for your help.

First congratulations on the interview results !!!

My wife was K-3 also, and they did stamp the I-551 in her and my daughter's passports, as she also cancelled the existing K-visas with her pen.

The red I-551 stamp serves notice that the applicant is now under Permanent Resident status (10year GC) and employment is authorized.

Again, not sure why some will do and some not, for the same type visa. But you will have the GC in hand in less than a month.
