We had our interview yesterday and were approved!

It lasted about 20 minutes and the officer did not ask us many questions, just where did you meet, have you been married before, do you have any children, could he see a picture of our wedding etc. I had (over)prepared a massive binder full of stuff but he didn't want to see half of it and didn't take copies of anything. The officer took my I-94 and let me keep the AP and EAD. He gave us a piece of paper which said congratulations, you are approved!

When I got home I got an email saying card production ordered! Yay!

Congratulations!!!

I had my interview today morning @ Philadelphia Office...and it was very quick - about 5 mins.

The officer said she was ordering my card and printed out something.

However she did not give me any letter confirming the approval, nor put any stamp on my passport.

She took I-94 and put an APPROVED stamp on my I-485 application.

No update on card production yet on website. I hope I get GC in mail very shortly.

Also, does anyone know what photo is used for GC - one taken during fingerprinting??

Thanks!
