My interview was yesterday (Thursday, November 1) at 2:15pm in Atlanta. We arrived at 1:30pm went through security in a matter of minutes and then had to wait on the first floor until it was 1:45pm (30 minutes before our appt) to check-in. After checking in, we went upstairs to wait for our number to be called. At 2:20pm a young lady called us and we went to her office to be sworn in and interviewed. She was very serious but professional. She asked for both of our passports, GA licenses, IDs, birth certificates, my I-94 and old EAD. She made a copy of our GA licenses. She then asked my husband his name, DOB, address, place of birth and parents names. She then asked the same questions to me along with my last visa and last entry date into the USA. She then asked my husband how and where we met and asked me the yes/no questions that the I-485 application asked. She asked for bonafide marriage evidence and looked through both our photos from the last 4 years and our wedding album. After this, she said we were done and she would review our file to make sure she had all the information. If she needed more information, she would send a RFE to us. If she had everything, she would approve us and explained the conditional GC. We were out of the office by 2:45pm. The interview was straight forward but I really wanted to know if we were approved on the spot. Luckily, at 5:30pm I got a text notice that I was being registered as a permeant resident :) APPROVED!

The main lessons were do not be stressed. Take all the documentation you can and remember you are in a real relationship so you have nothing to worry about. The interviewers are serious but they are just doing their jobs!

Excellent news! Great to read another positive Atlanta interview :)

EAD in hand, it is much prettier than the post-student EAD.

I already had SSN, so no need to do that. I want to renew my license that expired with visa on sept 19, but I think I will wait for green card, because EAD is valid only 1 year, therefore my license would too. I can wait 1 more week,.

iaia, congrats on your interview notice!!! Lots of good things going on with everyone!

My last day at work is Dec 7th. I changed it so I can work through a full pay period. I will be leaving Maryland Nov 8th. Gesi starts work tomorrow and is sooo excited! Last week he went shopping for work clothes, boots, etc. lol He didn't have anything because he came for a visit in March and never left, haha. My boss asked me to stay, said they were making changes and these would be good changes and advancement opportunities would be coming. But talking to Gesi and hearing how happy he is being around family and friends in Florida with a job...... I couldn't take that away from him. I can find a job anywhere.... good.gif
