Congrats!, we are finally getting down to 100% approval. I am here patiently counting down the days to my wife's interview on 8/23/2011. I am more anxious than her. I cant wait to get it over with. I am confident however that we will have everything in place that would need for approval.

Just had an interview yesterday at NYC office (Federal Plaza).

Went in at around 1:00 for 1:45 appointment, and we were called at 2:30....

The officer asked us so many questions (sometimes so much in details), but she was overall very friendly and nice.

We were done little after 3. The officer wrote something on my passport and took I-94 away.

Within an hour/hour and a half of finishing the interview, we received Case Status Update email saying that

the card is in production (for I-485)!!!!!

I checked the case status online as well, but the last updates for I-130 still shows May.

Is it OK? Everyone who already got the card, did the case status of I-130 get updated after interview?

Adjustment of status from F-1 to Permanent Resident

05/09/2011: Received Biometrics appointment letter (app for 05/31)

05/31/2011: Biometrics done

06/11/2011: Received EAD/AP card in mail

Sorry for the delay, but it started to pour like crazy in Boston and I lost internet .. then I just got to be real lazy!

We ended up sitting until about noon for a 9:45 am appointment. The room filled up and emptied like 3 times before we finally got called in. The lady up front said it was because everyone had different reasons to be there. Yeah right.

We go in, the guy basically goes over the i-485 form making sure everything is correct. The only time he acknowledged my existence was when he asked for my passport to photocopy.

5 min into the interview he said "well you app was already approved so this is a formality" and then said "if you need your passport stamped get an infopass appt"

stamped the app approved, and hi-ho hi-ho off we went!

Still waiting and no touches since our case was transferred to CSC 3 months ago today.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I honestly don't understand how it's so difficult for them to approve all applications in order... Some takes a month, others wait 2-3months or even longer:( so as NOA.
