Anyone in this group going through the San Francisco office?

12/24/2010 I proposed. She accepted and stayed.

02/25/2011 Married!

03/19/2012 FINALLY submitted the AOS paperwork: I-130, I-485, I-765, etc.

03/23/2012 Received notification that USCIS has received everything.

03/26/2012 Biometrics Appointment Notice: April 23, 2012.

04/02/2012 NOA's received. Now we wait...

04/23/2012 Biometrics completed.

05/18/2012 EAD card mailed but not yet received.

06/06/2012 Rough interview but we think we're approved! Website says i485 status "Card Production".

06/12/2012 We received the "Welcome the United States" letters! Website says Green Card was mailed.

LIMBO: Green card lost in mail. Facing the possibility of paying hundreds in fees and basically repeating the entire process.

All good now! USPS lost it, then found it.

04/24/14 Back to VJ to get help with I-751, Removal of Conditions.

05/31/14 Mailed I-751 finally, with less than a week to deadline!

06/02/14 NOA1 (that was fast!)

07/01/14 Biometrics

7/25/14 Approved for Removal of Conditions

Hey guys,

We breezed through the interview today in San Francisco and the GC was approved on the spot. The interview itself was over in less than 15 minutes and she probed very little and didn't ask for most of the docs I'd prepared.

I'll write a full account of it later today when I get home to my laptop (I realize you're hanging out for it AtariBaby!).

Thank you so much to everyone who invests time in this forum. You've all saved me a lot of pain (and $!).

Best of luck to all the people still waiting.

Cheers.
