Hey guys I got my green card approved yesterday in Bloomington,mn. Went really smooth. I was in and out in about 6 - 9 mins. It went way better than I thought. I left the interview and the guy told me I can come back and get a stamp in my passport. Which I went back in the afternoon and get a temp stamp in my passport saying I was approved that day. Good luck to everyone else.

Filed AOS in November 2012 NYC, but still waiting for interview letter. Anyone else filed in November 2012 that have not gotten interview date yet? Is there anything my wife and I can do to check on the status? Thanks in advance for answering our questions.

Unfortunately we haven't even received the letter yet for an interview date. On the uscis.gov website, it saids it is in the acceptance stage. It's strange that it's taking a long time, we received our EAD and AP already.

You know NYC office is really slow. Even though I was lucky to have my interview, I am still waiting for a decision from them. I suggest you make a service request to see what is happening. My case went from initial review to "Testing and Interview" in December, a whole month before I got my EAD card, so you should call them and try to get to the bottom of this, because I know some people who applied in December in NYC who already have interviews later this month.

Hopefully they will approve your case soon. It sucks that they are dragging their feet. For our case, I wish it is in "Initial Review" stage instead of "Acceptence" stage. How do I make a service request? The only contact I have is the 1-800-375-5283. Thanks in advance for your help.
