I got my interview letter in the mail today....woohoo! I am scheduled for November 9th at 10.30 am in San Antonio.

One question though: on the letter it says to bring the birth certificate and evidence of United States citizenship (passport) for my husband. Do y'all know if the birth certificate can be substituted with the passport? He doesn't know where it's at and I am not sure if we can get a new one in time. For the application it asked for either or, I am a bit confused now.

Shoot for the moon - even if you miss, you'll land among the stars...

AOS completed in 11/2009

Received BBG from Germany in 02/2013

Passed N-400 interview and civics test 06/07/2013

Only my EAD and AP are up to date, the I-130 and I-485 are in the system but have not been touched. Don't worry about it, everybody says that the online-thing is not reliable when it comes to updates! :-)

You have had a very fast process so far, congratulations!
