There is no set time. Review this post and you will see that one person already has the letter, but most of us don't yet. Review some other timelines and you may get an idea. I would expect it in Janu

APPROVED TODAY! SO HAPPY!

The interview started very formally, and the officer was a little stand offish at first, but soon we were laughing together. Very nice and professional all round.

Order of interview as follows:

Sworn in - Very formal

Asked for ID's birth certificates and marriage certificate. - Very formal, still no introduction, smile or hello.

Filled in paper work for a couple of minutes.

Immigration officer then introduced himself, explained that he is going to ask us questions and would like us to answer seperately if the question is directed at either of us specifically. He was still formal at this point and had not yet smiled at us. He then asked our names, dates of birth, address type questions.

After this point it became much more comfortable in the room as he had started to smile and make small chit chat about travel to Philadelphia, how cold it was etc.

He then asked the following questions all the while making casual conversation and filling in paperwork.

How did you meet?

What concert was it?

You were both born in Australia?

Which of your parents are US citizens? (wife)

Who 'dragged' who over to the US?

What was your previous and current job? (for me)

What are you studying at university? (for wife)

About 10 of the i-485 yes/no questions while we all laughed at how crazy most of them are. (He did not ask me if I was ever a prostitute which I must admit would have been amuzing for me to actually hear that come out of someones mouth!)

What evidence do you have that you currently live together and are building a life for the future together?

Did not even look at our wedding photos which suprised me.

He explained that he will review our submission once again in the afternoon and make his decision then. He then asked if I understood conditional permanent residency etc. Then we were done. I would say 20 minutes in the room with him total.

Just got home, checked status online and card production ordered! We are over the moon! Thank you to everyone here and visa journey for being such a great resource!

Congrats everyone. Its good to read the different interview experiences.

I am still waiting for a 2. interview notice. So unfair - to be in limbo because of weather.

I'm sure it's a horrible feeling not having a closure on this and reading all the approvals from your fellow October-filers, but keep your head up!

Your new notice is probably around the corner!

At least it's not so bad that you at least have your EAD in hands.

Personally, when I got my EAD I stopped counting the days and the interview date slowly crept up on me!

I was too busy looking for a job!

I literally gathered the needed docs 2 days before the AOS interviews

10/21/2010 (00): AOS package sent via express mail

10/22/2010 (01): AOS received by USCIS

10/28/2010 (07): NOA email notification for all the forms

11/05/2010 (15): Biometrics letter received for 11/30/2010

11/15/2010 (25): Early biometrics walk-in (successful)/Touched on all forms

12/30/2010 (70): AP approved

01/03/2011 (74): EAD and AP touched/EAD card production ordered

01/07/2011 (78): AP in the mail

01/10/2011 (81): Interview letter received for 02/09/2011

01/11/2011 (82): EAD in the mail

02/09/2011 (111): AOS Interview (Approved!!!)/Card production ordered (email)

02/18/2011 (120): GC in hand! (It's actually green lol)

Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success
