Hi!!! i READ a post on here and there is someone saying that if you have your appointment early morning is a GOOD SIGN, BUT if you have the appointment in the afternoon is because they saw something weird in your file and it can take longer....

Is it trueeeeeeeeeeee????

Ale.

I don't think the timing wether its morning "am" or afternoon "pm" has anything to do with it... However the stokes interview is longer and they also split you guys apart and question you

Does anyone Agree with me or am I wrong??? Because my interview is at 2:15 pm in the afternoon on July 3, "next month"...

Hey guys, On the USCIS website, my I485 has changed to "card/document production", but my I130 still says "Initial Review". What do you make of it?

Congratulations Atari! You should have your GC in hand in about 7-10 days :dance: :dance:

Ale.

I dont think so, to be honest I think it's the opposite, I read a couple of interviews for people who had them late, and it was so easy because the IO was so tired or he/she wanted to have lunch, it's the human nature when you reach the afternoon time you just wanna finish everything quickly . so , I think the timing has nothing to do with your case evaluation

1. Breath

2. Stop panicking.

3. That is bologna. Of course he time doesn't matter. Do you think for a second that if someone shows up in the morning and says something wonky that they won't spend as long as they want grilling that person? They don't care who's waiting - they can wait outside all day while they grill someone for all they care. ;)

Relax and enjoy the ride as much as possible - there is nothing to worry about for those who's marriage is for real. Look at even those who have had a rough interview because of nerves or forgetting to do something - they panic but end up being approved and all that panic was a waste. :)

Thanks all. I'm trying to convince myself we made it, yet I am checking the card production status obsessively. :P

MikeX: Any news? What does your status say on the USCIS website?

I'm still in the vacuum. No word. Almost a week after the interview. My "status" on the website is still in the "testing and interview" phase. Sigh. I think I may get a notice for a Stokes. Who knows at this point? :( So jealous of you folks who had 10 minute interviews with affable IOs.

I hope it's not accurate. According to that, I have about 5 red flags. :(

We are a real couple, I swear. We're just weird.

Well it is a few years old. Some of the tips might have come from 1975... "Women should wear dresses of appropriate style and length or pant suits". :lol:

All I could think when I read that was "they want me to dress like Hilary Clinton??"
