uMM, wondering what was the reason for separating you and your spouse..

I have no idea, we were the best ones dressed there! :D actually they separated all the other couples, except for 1. I have a friend who also got separated back in nov.

Perhaps it was a matter of being the preferred policy of this particular office. I do more lurking than posting so let me just say congratulations to everyone's success so far. I hope mine will go as well.

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

Here is my interview experience!!!!!

http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=9712

Best advice I can give you, Don't be nervous!!!! is not as scary, if not at all!!!!

Perhaps it was a matter of being the preferred policy of this particular office. I do more lurking than posting so let me just say congratulations to everyone's success so far. I hope mine will go as well.

Yes, and I also think is totally up to the officer, but being separated was I thought easier!

Good news to share!!!!! :thumbs: I got the approved at the interview.

We had about 10 mins for the interview. We arrived there 30mins and waited to be called and the IO asked first question about my cancelled work authorization which I totally forgot that I did it and did not pursue for the visa so it got denied but he did not really wanna know the answer so he kept asking about how we met, my passort, my husband stuff, and asked if we know the 2 year condition, in the first 5 mins and he asked where we live, how much is the appt, and stuff.

I was kinda disappointed that I did not get the stamp on my passport b/c I told him, hope to go to Canada for this long weekend but he said it might be risky to come back with no GC, just wait, it might take 7 days only. And he said "congratulations" and will update status in the afternoon, as he showed us he had so many cases waiting for him and he wanted to make no mistakes input all the important info, very cautious one. :thumbs:

I think we had a nice interview, although I was so so nervous and couldn't put words together :wacko:

Anyway, thank you, VJ!!!!!

Good luck for others :dance:
