Good job, way to be organized....best of luck on Monday.

Thanks :) :)

Looks great!! You're an inspiration for the rest of us :) Well, at least for me... ;) I have to think about more accounts we can put both of our names on. Might try to stir up my battle with AT&T :bonk:

Awww.. thanks so much! I'm pretty happy that from the outside it looks like a pretty unconspicuous business tote bag :P

I Hope so!! Did they give you anything at the end of the interview?

I've heard of people being given a piece of paper with the approval box checked off or something like that.

I think that is different from case to case and really no logic (again!) for what they do and when. April filers say that you should receive the welcome letter in the mail after about 3 days. Some get stamps in their passport after the interview, some get a paper, others nothing and same with the updates on the websites, some get them and other just get the letter in the mail and then the GC.

He asked me if I had a Mexican passport, but since I had the border crossing card it kind of takes the place of a passport. He had nothing to stamp. I'm somewhat concerned, too, because he took what I was using as a government ID, so now if I get stopped or something I have nothing to show :S

Our interview went great! We got approved! :dance:

We got there 20 minutes early and waited in the mostly empty waiting room. Funny incident: one of the biometrics technicians needed someone who spoke Spanish to translate for this lady. I volunteered, listened to the lady and then repeated everything in Spanish back to him :rofl: the security lady was laughing so hard she was almost crying. Anyway, we waited for about 30 minutes, and then we got called in. We got sworn in and he went over the application. He asked us questions about when we met, remarked on my husband's haircut (he used to wear his hair super long and now he wears it short)and asked us if we had any wedding pictures. I had TONS of pictures of everything and had just spent an entire day printing them out and carefully organizing them so I was pretty much like PICTURES I HAVE PICTURES PLEASE LOOK AT ALL MY PICTURES :rofl: I even showed him pictures that he didn't even need to see, like one taken in the dark in Halloween where you can hardly make out our body shapes. For some reason he chose a picture of us in my husband's prom and photocopied it. He asked us if we had any joint anything, we showed him our rental lease and that was it since we can't do anything without an SSN. I pretty much spoke forever about our apartment, he seemed to be really amused by this. After he was (finally) done looking at our pictures he asked us if we wanted children. We talked a bit more about driving in Boise and then he started telling us about the GC, that it would arrive in 3 weeks and that it was conditional, he told me what to do with the EAD if it arrived after the GC and he took my border crossing card and my I-94. I'd kept my border crossing card's little envelope ever since they gave it to me 10 years ago, he was amused by this and let me keep the envelope. Overall interview lasted like 25 mins, it was actually kind of fun. :lol:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Wait..so you don't have a passport and the IO took the card that is supposed to be like a passport?

So how are you supposed to travel anywhere now? :wacko:

Does anyone know how long after sending in your RFE and receiving messages that your case have been resumed that you receive anything from USCIS? I sent it in on July 8 , but they confirmed receipt on the 13.

I called USCIS last week about my EAD and they told me I have to wait three months after submtting documents before they can tell me anything. August 3 is gonna be three months and my case status is still on initial review for this case.

The only case that has been touched is the I-485...should I be worried?

I am the first one to check the mailbox daily and feel utterly disappointed when I see nothing... :(:(

Look at our time lines and you can see about how long it took for us. Leigh Ann & I had RFE's but she had an expedited EAD which is why it came so fast. The status on the website doesn't really matter. My I-485 is still on RFE but I have received the interview letter, my I-130 has been in Initial Review since the first got my app.
