Yep! Just got another email this morning that card production has been ordered -- went straight to green card, with nothing on EAD/AP. Which of course is fine for us. Can finally go on our honeymoon!

Just an update:

My hubby and I got our copy of our 2009 tax return from our accountant ^_^ We're putting together all the documents we'll be bringing to the interview...

So far we have our new I-864 (to include the 2009 tax return and most recent pay stubs), life insurance policy (and other military-related records that shows me as my Jim's spouse and beneficiary), health insurance, cellphone bill, bank statements... The only thing we're waiting on is my hubby's pay stub for March. And I still have to get reprints of our pictures and organize them in a photo album. I have a lot of cards and letters addressed to both of us and I'm wondering how to organize them. Should I make copies or just bring the originals to show the IO?

As for the I-693, I probably won't get a full medical done after all (we might not have time to go back for a follow-up with the CS if I have the full medical). I'm just going to get an updated vaccination record on the form. The only real reason I think we need a new one is because we used the old form when we submitted our AOS packet - I had my vaccinations transcribed (and the TST done) in September 2009 and that was when the CS signed it - the new form wasn't available yet (that's probably why we didn't get an RFE for it, the old form was still valid at the time I had my medical).

:D
