Our AOS is still at NBC since we received NOA1 emailed message. We're thinking around late July or August for our green card. It seemed those AOS who got transferred to local office, got their interview notifications already by now.

AHA! I was hoping to find a group for this! I'm still at NBC as far as I know, and the USCIS site still has me on the first stage of 'Acceptance'. I assumed that the Chicago office would process our case since we're living right near it, but I'm not sure... I'm having a hard time figuring out how quickly people are getting interviews/GC's. Maybe people are so relieved and busy they don't think about updating their timelines afterwards :)

In the meantime, I'm happily choosing and trying out different paint colours for our living room walls, etc... :)

Hi All,

My wife and I just had our AOS interview today at 12:50pm. We arrived around 15 min early. Our IO officer was nice and asked my wife many questions from the I-485 to confirm the information. She also asked when was the first time we met and how we met. She asked us for original documents of our birth certificates and US citizenship papers, marriage certificate, then she asked for our joint documents. We submitted copies of bank statements, auto insurance cards, medical insurance cards, and our apartment lease. We also showed her our wedding and honeymoon trip photos.

One question that got us off guard was why did we choose to be together in US instead of my wife's home country, Singapore.

Bring original and copies of important documents and answer the questions honestly.

In the end, the IO gave us a paper with "Further Review" checked and we were so nervous, disappointed, and worried.

1 - 2 hours later, I checked my case status furiously and finally, the decision has been made: APPROVED!!!

Until ROC in 21 months!!!

Good luck to you all, be patient, and never give up.

Congrats!!! I'm currently filling up my I-485 for adjustment of status too. But I'm not sure how am i going to fill up on my last name portion. When your wife submit her I-485 application, does she submit with her legel last name stated in her birth certificate or submit by using her new married last name which is according to the husband's last name? Because i understand that after married, my last name should be changed according to my husband's last name but just not sure am i allowed to fill up my new last name in the application. Maybe you can advise me on this since you have gone thru this AOS and is finally approved.

Thanks
