Congratulations to all who received their cards and got approved. I'm a November filer but I wanted to say that in DC, you can take your NOA and SSN to any DMV and they will either give you a new drivers license or give you a learner's permit, which was the case with my husband

I would hope some testing is involved :whistle:

We received her EAD today (January 18th).

We also found out, unfortunately, that the AP paperwork was approved but never arrived in the mail. We were told that we would have to refile it again. However, USCIS told us that we won't have to pay a fee for a new AP - we could just include a copy of the NOA for the previous AP instead of a new payment.

Our I-485 case was transferred to the CSC on December 14th, so we're waiting to hear what happens next.

Our Relationship

2007 Fall : We meet online and become good friends

2008 Summer : Our relationship becomes stronger and we fall in love without knowing it

2009 Spring : We meet in person... and everything just "clicks"

2010-01-07 : I propose... and she says yes!

Congrats on your EAD Document arriving and sorry about your AP, guess that means with the AP you have to submit everything again including new passport photo's ? It's amazing when a person first submits all the paperwork that the I-797's can make it to the house, but after that things seem to get lost in the mail. Did they verify your address ?

January 20th finally arrived, all of our documents have been gathered, checked and rechecked. We arrived 45 minutes perfore our interview and went through the metal detectors without issue. We were then informed to go to the 3rd floor and sit in the waiting room. Finially our name was called and we went with a nice young lady into the interview room and swore to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth (or something like that).

She Asked Floriann a series of simple questions and a few things about our relationship. The only question I got was what is her fathers name...

Once again we had every document imaginable with us but she never asked to look at anything :crying:. She asked if we had any other questions and I was feeling so bad that Floriann worked so hard to get everything ready that I insisted that she at least look at our photos.

She informed us that she would contact us within the week if she needed any more information otherwise we would be approved within 2 months. We just got home and Floriann looked at the USCIS website and it already shows that WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!

Congrats on your approval. Our interview ended the same way any questions for them? We missed our interviewers phone call the next day. He has not called again. It has been over a week so we made a infopass appointment for Seattle next Tuesday to see what we can find. Reading yours and other recent interviews seams like you may not get an on the spot approval.....just more hurry up and wait. :blink:

Hey everybody! My husband got his green card in the mail yesterday. It feels so nice! It took 10 days from our approval date and one week from the "card production ordered" notice on the USCIS website to arrive here. I'm still rooting for all the wonderful October filers to have happy endings soon :star:
