[ashenflowers 5]

lol! That's like Sam's experience, getting her green card the day before she was leaving to go back for a visit! Congrats Glad that makes everything a lot easier now! lol

Got my EAD. I was surprised how nice it looks!

Finally got my green card in the mail today; and, of course, as the stars would have it, right after getting a stamp at my InfoPass appointment yesterday thinking I wasn't going to get it on time for traveling back to Canada in time for my wedding! So glad that I have it now

Hey, at least you got it! Congrats.

I was so, so thankful to have it in hand when we crossed back into the States this weekend - it was the very first time I wasn't pulled into secondary when crossing, haha.

Congrats to everyone seeing movement on their cases, and hoping that those who haven't will see something soon.

Glad you got that. Two months and 26 days between application for AOS and receiving the EAD. I am hoping that trend continues (and maybe a few less days) when I am ready to send in the AOS packet in a month.

Surreal. Incredibly surreal.

Once we paid the bridge toll, I had hubby book it out of there. I told him they might change their mind if we lingered, haha.

LOL Sam! Congrats on best-crossing-ever!

I forgot to mention here that I also received my EAD! Got it on Saturday. HURRAY!

Congratulations! Mine should be here this week too. I'm kind of looking into jobs, but it's hard when they still won't give me a driver's license! Your interview is soon, isn't it? I'm getting a little nervous!

Thanks! Yea, I've been sorta looking, but not that hard, lol.

I had my AOS interview today actually! It went very well. When you walk into the USCIS building, you go to the right (as opposed to the biometrics, you went left). You place your appointment letter on a desk on one of the windows (it was #8 today). They come out of the door at the opposite side of the room from the doors you entered (there's a kid area next to it). I'd probably sit close to it, cause it can be hard to hear them call your name.

So we went in & rose our right hand & said we'd tell the truth....

She asked a couple questions (my mom & dad's first names, if I was working, if we had kids).

Then she went through that checklist you had to tick "yes" or "no" on when filing....the one that asks: are you a terrorist, do you plan to over-throw the gov't, do you practice polygamy, etc....about 10-12 questions.

Asked how we met & where we got married.

She asked for my EAD card (which I JUST got) & took it! I was kinda surprised, I thought we got to keep it.

Then she told me that my greencard should arrive in 2-3 weeks!!

I asked her 2 questions:

1. Verify the AP is void as of now.....yes

2. If the civil surgeon's transcriptions were necessary & in my case, they weren't! Money un-necessarily spent.

All & all it was pretty painless. All they asked from my husband was id(driver's license) & thats it.

That's weird. We asked specifically about the civil surgeou's transcription and were told that yes it was necessary for everyone as of that date. Furthermore, our interviewer told us that prior, it had been left to the disgression of the interviewer whether or not the worksheet was enough, but that it was now mandatory to get the transcription. Would be nice if they were uniform about all this information.

[CDAgirlMI 51]

Yea, it would be nice if it was more clear as to who needs it, or not. She looked at my sheet from Seiden's office in Toronto & said it was good enough.

One thing I forgot to add, she also took my I-94 out of my passport. I don't remember reading anyone else's reviews of them doing that.

Congrats! Weird about them taking the EAD. So does that mean you have to wait another 2 or 3 weeks for the green card to arrive before you can work?

Thanks for that review! I'm glad everything went so easy! That's too bad they took your EAD when you just got it. You waited so long for it and had no time to enjoy it!
