~7-10 days is typical I think based on my post-completion OPT cards arrival times.

Congratulations BTW!

I meant i don't remember what it's like to NOT work.

Yurgh it stinks. I've been employed for a year prior to this "enforced vacation" I'm currently enduring before I can take another job. It's been nice in the sense that I get to dote on the wife and do all the organization/cleaning of our place (I moved into her existing home so there's a lot of adjustment. However, it really sucks not to have a place to go for 8 hours a day where you're forced to interact with others. The only constant interaction I have besides my wife is our little cat who admittedly makes a nice friend. :D I'm hoping that the next 30 days bring good news about the EAD and interview. I really want to get back to work.

Sorry it took me forever to update you all, but here's how my interview went:

It was a two-hour wait at the Phoenix location but my husband and I didn't mind. We were just happy to be there! The actual interview took only 5 minutes. IO was pleasant and straight to the point. Asked how we met, and we also went through the usual i-485 questions. He didn't say approved/denied, just said to wait for the decision in the mail.

Now I understand why most of the people coming out from the interviews has this blank expression on their faces! I'm not entirely sure, but I'm guessing it's their protocol to not give decisions right then and there, perhaps to avoid confrontation in cases of denial.

The next day, I received an email notification that our i-130 application has been approved! The i-485, on the other hand, just indicated that the decision is in the mail. By this time, we were going crazy!! So we (im)patiently waited and checked our mail everyday.

Today, we finally got the official notification: 10-year green card approved! Hallelujah!! :dance:

EAD received in the mail today.

It's funny because on Fri, 8-10-2012 USCIS reported the EAD was picked up by USPS.

Now the long wait for the GC since our I-485 was transferred to CSC.

Wow that was fast. :thumbs:
