Hi.... I had my AOS interview last friday and it went great :) . The IO told me that he will approve the I-130 and I-485 and that I should receive the approval letter and GC in about 3 weeks. My question is that the IO didn't ask for or take my I-94 and I didn't remember either. I read that the IO generally takes your I-94, so I was wondering if it is a problem that he didn't take mine. I entered the US last in Sep 2007 and since then I've got my H1B visa renewed and transferred, so I have a valid I-94 that came with the petition approval.

I would greatly appreciate if someone can answer my question and put my mind at ease :) ... Thanks in advance.

Depending on the IO and the State, some take it, some don't. My IO didn't take my I-94 and I turned out fine. I tried to be extra smart and asked the IO when we were leaving his office if he wants to retain my I-94. He smiled and said, he doesn't need it and in either case, I won't either :). I left the office all confused and later realized what he had meant :)

Congratulations on your successful interview.
