Thanks to everyone for the congrats. :)

My wife did her POE over the weekend; she lives along the border, so she just drove up and took care of it on Saturday. She said it was nice and smooth, it just was a long wait. The officer just confirmed with her that the address stated in her packet was the address where she planned to live, and that was it.

Hopefully the green card will come in the mail soon, and then we're done with USCIS until the fall of 2013. :-)

7 Mar 2011 - Mailed the I-130 package

12 Nov 2011 - Became a U.S. resident (+250 days)

18 Sep 2017 - Sworn in as a U.S. citizen (+2137 days)

Husband just went through interview. I'm pretty sure he got approved. He just called me to e-mail a copy of my mom's green card to the embassy. He told him they kept his passport and made him sign something (I'm guessing DS-230). The lady that helped him was really nice and also told him to check today the new embassy website to where he wants the visa delivered but he didn't actually hear her say "approved." We only talked a couple of minutes so I will find out more later.

Approved, right?!

That definitely sounds like an approval. In my wife's case the CO never said approved but that they will mail the documents and those would be delivered in 7 - 10 business days. I guess each CO has his own style.

So Congrats and all the best with receipt of the visa and POE experience.

He was definitely approved. The CO gave him a letter to request more information (mom's green card) and on the top it said "you have been approved" and gives him instructions on the actualy visa (where he could get it and such). We're elated right now. My husband's still in shock so I couldn't get much more information from him but once I do, I will write the review =)

Sorry for the belated updates, been busy reuniting with my sons and hubby!

I POE'ed into LA, with my dog. No problems, in fact they were very laid back. The only thing I found a bit unusual, was they didn't seem to know who should process it and left the all important envelope and my passport on the end of a counter where anyone could of picked it up!

It stayed there for probably 30 minutes, then my dog started barking in the airport as he heard me talking..so they sped it through!
