[alexlei 0]

hello vj family, I had my AOS interview today in downtown Cincinnati, everything went soooo smooth, Except for the waiting time, it took like an hour and a half waiting to call my name buth the when we were called, the lady IO was nice.... We we're interviewed in thesame room with my husband. we were asked to stand up and take an oath. She asked me my full name, address, birthdate and asked me the question stated in I485 if im a criminal, i said no, blah blah... then she said im done and need her to ask something to my husband too... she asked the date of our marriage, when did he come to visit me in Philippines, and how many times, and asked us to bring out our wedding pictures and we showed he the whole wedding album she had to look at every single pic in the album and asked who are those people in the background she said "oh it seems like you guys had a huge wedding party!" we smiled and said yes we had, and she asked us again to give her some joint assets so I gave her our joint bank accounts, our phone plans with our names and insurances papers.... she said its all good and she explained what we will do incase we will move from the address the we're residing at present. She just said ok that's it.... You have to wait at least a couple weeks to receive our "final decision" she didint ask me to give her our EAD, AP and I693( vaccination supplement)... now im a bit worried cause i heard almost you guys here who were interviewed gave those stuff.... what do you think guys, did I passed?

hello, we had our Interview last week...CO was so nice also, asked questions stated in 1485. He asked my 1693 and my EAD, but he gave back to me my EAD and adviced me to tear that card once my GC arrive. He told us that everything was good and wait for our GC within 30 days. He advised us to bring enough evidence on my next interview for 10 yrs GC 2 yrs from now bcos we had only 2 (medical insurance and photos). He took my 1-94 and the interview took almost 10 mins only...when I got home and open their site, my status is already card production ordered...if the CO took your 1-94, you have nothing to worry...ul be approved!

some cases take time, about a week or more...but once the CO took the 1-94 its a sign of approved Interview. Ul then receive first a welcome to U. S. letter...thats why I prayed to have a male CO bcoz female CO mostly strict...joke. GoodLuck to both of us...still im waiting for my GC.

Did you get an answer yet? I hope so.

We are in a similar boat. We had the interview this morning and they didn't approve it there. My wife got her EAD and AP back. Immigration officer was an older lady. The interview went very neutral for us. We are disappointed though, as now there is more waiting. My poor wife is feed up with the US already.

Congratulations!! I see the card production ordered in your signature.

Thanks.

We had a really grump lady IO for the interview who gave us a hard time about trivial things. She told us they needed more time to review the file, blah blah blah. We were bummed out because we expected the approval (we have a solid case).

Anyway, we got the CRIS email two days later stating the card was ordered.

So, alexlei, just hang on a little while. These people at USCIS aren't friendly and never give you any positive feedback, but in the end, if you follow the system, you will be approved. What a pain waiting though, but I can tell you it feels good to be finished with all this #######.
