Guys, you have no idea how your interview experiences calm me down....

I`m so nervous and my interview is on June 26th my hubby says he can`t wait until this is done cos I`m driving him to drink haha

I have everything ready and I hope my interview oes smooth...

Good luck to everyone still on this wait....And Good luck with MikeX too... Hang in there!

Yes, the same day. My interview finished at about 11-ish in the morning and I received the 'We have ordered production of your card' email at around 6.45 p.m. The online status had also changed by that time. Today, I received two more emails, one for approving the I-130 and the next for registering permanent resident status.

I have read on this site that it takes anywhere within 48 hours.

This is the toughest part--waiting for the formal approval notification. Been there, done that. Hang on, you will be getting it very soon.

I had read that also and after waiting 108 days already, I can certainly wait another 48 hours for the online update

Thanks

Congratulations Chris on going GREEN. Geez...why did I get the #### interview?

Cheers Mike, I am hoping that you hear something this week!

Chris - congrats!!!

thanks as well for a nice interview update!!!

big day is tmr! nerves are somewhat setting in but i am not in the bit least worried

I will post up my experience as soon as I can (planning to head to my local DPS office to do the written driving exam tmr)

Thanks Happylove, wishing you luck today-- I hope your interview is a breeze and I look forward to reading about your experience.

Hello VJ Friends!!!! Thank you for all your wishes and support!!! Im back and APPROVED! Interview was as easy, plain and smooth like satin

Here's my DETAILED experience:

My interview was at Newark at 930AM. Place was jam packed some people are already standing. I have a lawyer but they sent someone else who I have no idea who and what looks like. She just called our name and introduced herself. Oh well, was aggravated but let it go just the same. She said it's not usually that busy and we might have to wait an hour or 2 delay( sigh). I know hubby was nervous, poor lad went to the restroom 2x although he kept on denying it. Anyway, we were ready to wait. Hubby and I were just observing those people around us. I thought we were underdressed when we came in and saw some folks in suit. But inside the waiting room, there were some people who wore suit, some just polo shirt and some just t-shirt. Some I thought didn't even bother to look in the mirror before going Hubby wore long sleeves polo and I wore slacks and cardigan. One couple were asked to be interviewd separately. Their IO and the male came back and said now it's your wife's turn. Another couple went in and out in about 5 mins with their lawyer. We were looking at the IOs and trying to figure out who's strict or not. At around 950ish (surprised!) our name was called over the PA system and asked to proceed to one of the doors. Our officer met us at the door. He is serious, said good morning and lead us to his room. I didn't sit down but hubby went to sit right away. Had to poke him to stand up The IO swore us in. The he asked for the original docs. I brought an expanding folder with divider (Staples looked like an attache case for only $12bucks). Clipped all orginals and proofs in separate. He run through our passport then took my I-94 and staple it to his file(our file).

Then he asked my hubby: How long has ur wife been in the US?

Then me: What's your full name and address?

Then hubby: What's your wife's bday?

Were you married before?

Was your wife married before?

When was she divorced? Hubby answered the date that I filed which is not on my divorce paper I was thinking a big OH NO and the IO was looking at the paper....then my hubby said but..it's not finalized until CORRECT DATE!

He then asked for additional supporting docs (proofs). When he saw a copy of our bank cards he asked if we have it. MY and hubby took out our wallets. Can't find mine so I had to take out most of my wallet's content which is A LOT! Then I saw the IO looking at the pic in my wallet (our wedding pic) Then he said looks good.

He asked for photos. We gave him 4 albums. He run though the first, then kinda flip through the second and ignore the rest. He didn't look at our wedding album, he just looked at the cover. HE asked me the standard questions. I said no sir to all. He again said, everything looks good and I am going to spproved you but our system is down so I cannot do anything My husband asked again. Are we approved? The IO repeated was he said then said you should receive your GC in the mail within 2-3 weeks. Do you know aboout the 90 day rule? Your lawyer should be able to explain to you what you should do to remove the condition. Shook our hand then took us to the exit door.

ALL this happened in LESS THAN 5 MINUTES.

The IO gave us a piece of paper that said something like: I-485 final review no other info or documents needed (something like that, I do not have it with me right now)

I am so happy , my staus online did not change yet. I think IO said something like 48hrs to updated the system. My mind was already floating when I heard the word approved

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. I truly appreciate and enjoyed your company. Hope my experience help you. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Come prepared, don't be nervous, look at the IO in the eye, and MOST importantly PRAY for GOD's blessings and guidance. I had a lot of worries before the interview and though I've had a lot of family support and VJ family support, it's only when I pray sincerely that I know for sure everything will be good.

GOD BLESS US ALL
