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

Thanks so much for prayers and well wishes

Just got home from a rather eventful day to say the least. Got to the interview of time - waited to be called then once we were - met with IO who was NOT friendly AT ALL. At that point we were swored in and asked us bunch of stuff from forms, looked at our proofs and asked us to sign the forms. then he handed us RFE for certified deposition from traffic case back in 2008 (I didnt even know traffic violation can impact AOS but apparently it does . I explained that cases were expounged but he just told us that he will review the file once we send him that document. we immediately stopped by the court and got the papers he asked us so will send those in and then........ waiting continues.... :-(

Anyone else ever experienced this?

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

Hum...interesting!

Did you list information about your court order in your files ?

The form has question "Been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance, excluding traffic violations?" - I answered no but for some strange reason this came up during the interview.

I was shocked, my husband & our attorney talked about everything in preparation for the interview and even he was shocked when we were given RFE at an interview.

So immediately went to court to get the disposition and its written case was striked/dismissed but still no decision on our AOS

I had just renewed my insurance policy but wasnt carrying proof in my car. went to court and submitted proofs and case was dismissed. They asked for RFE to send the disposition from that case.

The violation was for mine (husband is USC) for not carrying proof of insurance in the car.

Just to clarify. The ticket violation was for who? The one trying to get the green card approved or the US Citizen/Resident?
