Hello Sir/Ma

I was determined to post my experience on here as soon as i get my package approved and glory be to God, i was approved for my green card(i-485) on Sept. 1st, 2012 followed by my i-130 approval on Sept. 3rd, 2012.

Here is my story....

Came into the country legally on an F-1 visa July, 2011. Got married to my long term girlfriend Jan, 2012 and filed my package the second week of Feb 2012, which included i-130, i-465 and i-765. I got my biometric appt in less than 3 weeks and then EAD took forever but finally came July, 2012. Our interview which was held on the August, 2012 was hell for my wife, though not for me. We got to the USCIS Office in Kansas City very early and after we were called in by the IO, he immediately separated me and my wife and asked to talk to me first. I was like damn, we both never expected it but whatever, i wasnt concerned cuz our marriage was real. After questioning me for what seemed to be like half an hour, the IO took my i-90 from my passport and then asked my wife to come in. Few mins into the interview, my wife walked out feeling very frustrated and angry. She said IO gave her hell in the room and that we should be expecting a denial/reference for more evidences. IO never even bothered to check our pix from the marriage but he sure asked me for the house keys..LOL !!! Anyways, me and my wife made up our minds and told our lawyer that whatever will be, will surely be. I continued praying every day for a miracle and thus, to my amazement, i got "Card Production Ordered" on the first week of Sept,2012. Prayers do work no doubt.

So far, its been a very hectic, time consuming and fearful journey but thank God, at least, ill be getting my card in the mail in some few days. I already got my welcome mail. All i can say is, this trend and many others helped me a lot during my ordeal and i just wanna say, thanks to you all for the wonderful experiences you shared on here. To future couples hoping to get their GC, just hang in there, take one step @ once and never lose hope. Gather as much information as possible and work with it. It does help to learn from other people...
